and I’m still here. Analyzing, critiquing, conversing, suggesting, sharing, engaging, and praying for change.
I started this blog as an accompaniment to my radio show and when the radio show went off the air, I just kept going with it.
It replaced my radio show as my creative outlet - my way to connect with people that I may never see and engage those that are in my circle of family, friends, and associates.
What a marvelous tool to connect with the world. People from Buenos Aires, Egypt, Turkey, Italy, India, Trinidad & Tobago, and all over have for some reason or another found their way to this blog.
I’ve learned about the “power of the blog”….the hard way. This blog has put me in some tight spots and given people the opportunity to see how I really feel about things. I’ve tried to be transparent as much as possible and vulnerable to criticism and challenge.
More than anything else, my prayer is that this blog will get people thinking and talking - and not just any type of thinking and talking, but the type that leads to substantive change in communities and churches.
Well, as we’re 9 days into a new year, I feel that it’s time to take this blog to a new level so hold tight. I have some ideas and some things that I’m working on to really making this sacred space even better. If you have any suggestions feel free to share.
Thanks to everyone who visits, reads, and/or comments on this blog. From Reston, VA to Lancaster, PA and every place in between and abroad - I appreciate you.
Peace.

Hey man I just got back from a mental hiatus. I really enjoyed the holiday. BTW a friend shot me a email regarding an Ann Coulter article. You have to check this out. I found it harsh in some ways yet amusedly revealing. It bought back some memeories.

I have never been one to celebrate Kwanza. Just because I am Black (being Black scares people doesn’t it?). I always new it was a made up holiday by Karanga. I am old enough to remember the United slaves when they would say “Maulana Karenga teaches us…” (hard to convey the humorous tone by typing)
Anyway check it out Malcolm and tell me what you think.
