Faith in Action

Religion, Policy, Activism

When people ask, "what is the biggest mistake made in the Black Panther Party?" I tell them very clearly that what we did wrong was to take God out of the movement. -Afeni Shakur (Former Black Panther and Mother of slain rapper,Tupac Shakur)

Today I celebrate LIFE

I’m another year older today and I am extremely thankful to be here and able to enjoy all that God is doing for my family and I.

I really have no room to complain about much of anything. God has been and is good to me despite my faults, mess ups, frailties, and sins.

I have a beautiful wife, loving family, and am surrounded by some of the most fascinating people on the planet who serve God and society in extraordinary ways. On a micro-level I am a member of a truly Beloved Community and that, in part, drives me to do all I can to help facilitate the creation of a macro-level Beloved Community.

As one gets older, that “birthday feeling” changes. I’m not running around the houses looking for gifts anymore…lol…(that was fun), but I do have a deep appreciation of the gift that is my life. I try live each moment to the fullest.

What can I say - God is good and life is a gift.

Holla at ya’ll later - I’m off to enjoy my birthday!!!!
