I want it all...
To quote a song I heard back in the day; "I want it all, brand new socks and draws...". This holds true for me also. Though I'm sure that what this artist is referring to is not what I'm speaking of. I want the Holy Spirit to manifest itself in every area of my life! I was reading an AWESOME book on organization called Getting Things Done by David Allen (I recommend it), and the Lord showed me something. He showed me that It's not enough to desire the "J" or the "E" or the "S" or the "U" or even the "S", but we have to desire JESUS as a whole! Not parts of God, but the ALL OF GOD! The same God that inspired the Apostle Paul to write of Ecclesiastic order is the same God that inspired Solomon to write of loving his wife(s). I've heard preachers focus on the things that arouse the emotions of the people and not thoroughly deal with the weightier issues facing the people. And on the flip side of that, I heard preachers deal with issues and not focus on worship or praise offered up to the Lord. I believe that we have to have an balance and focus on all of God and not just pieces. I know that this isn't controversial or even ground breaking revelation, but It's what the lord put on my heart and I decided to share it. I would like for anyone who reads this to simply comment on what your issues are and lets find a biblical solution together.

WOO HOO!!!!!!! I'M EXCITED!!!!!!!
Man, where do I start? Well let me start with the first thing that comes to mind...
1. I'm married to an AWESOME WOMAN WHO LOVES JESUS AND WILL KILL CONCRETE FOR HIM!!! This chick loves her some Jesus and it, not spills, but POURS over into our marriage! Crystal has grown into the impidemy of virtue and I'm not just saying that for "points" either, I really mean it. She has given me one of the desires of my heart, children. And she really is the "gift that keeps on giving" because she has been pregnant for what seems like ten years straight! She blessed me to be a dad to Aaron, then she gave birth to Boo Boo, Otis Jr. and Joseph back to back to BACK! Jesus, you did an awesome job in giving me a perfect combination of what I wanted and more importantly, what I NEEDED! THANX!
2. You may have read it in the "basics" section, but I have recently accepted a call to help people with figuring out what their professional destines. What's a professional destiny? A professional destiny is something that I believe we all have. God said, that for the rest of our days we will have to work for a living (Genesis 3:19) and because of this and the fact that in all ways we should acknowledge him, we should ask him what we are called to do for a living. So my job is to help you to; A. figure out what it is you are "purposefully destined" to do and B. help equip you to do it.
3. I have to get prepared! God doesn't bless disorder, so I have to get all of my duckies in a row. I have to do my business plan, design and print business cards, pay for a domain name and a whole bunch of other stuff! I AM SO PUMPED!!! Some would say, you're pumped because you have to do more stuff? NO, I'm pumped because I have stepped into the first stages of business ownership! And one day I won't have to punch a FLIPPIN clock!
That felt good... now my mind is clear... feel free to comment and share your stories, experiences and advice.
