***WARNING THIS POST MAY OFFEND SOME PEOPLE, LANGUAGE MAY BE STRONG, AND THE VIEWS EXPRESSED ARE THOSE OF THE WRITER…NOT THE WEB HOSTING SERVICE***
Over the last few weeks I have gone over and over in my mind how I have managed to lose some opportunities at the hands of a BLACK MAN and all I can ask is “Why…Black Man…Why“?
Now as always I write this (like many other post) owning up to my own mistakes. I mean who is without fault? But I also write this with a heavy heart for many reasons. The biggest being seeing HOPE for a better black world slowly go down the tubes. BY THE HANDS OF A BLACK MAN! We have gotten away from the togetherness and comradery that existed in the days of slavery when our black men fought our masters for their families and their freedom. Grant you not all fought but quite a few did. Many lost their lives for this. We have gotten away from the togetherness and comradery that existed during the era of segregation when our black men stood on the front lines and marched (not forgetting our woman) against racist citizens who allowed dogs to bite us, firemen to spray us with their water hoses, police to beat us with their clubs, and racist groups to burn crosses in our yards and hang us.
WHY…BLACK MAN…WHY?

So it’s a new day and I am happy to be able to see it begin. But I have to admit I went to sleep last night with a lot on my mind. Some of it dealt with some questions I got from a friend/former supervisor and blog reader. Some of it dealt with how I was gonna write this particular blog. Most of it dealt with a comment that was made to me last night by my wife right before I went to bed. So I will address this…or shall I say vent this first.

So last week I posted on Facebook that the truth would be set straight today and I am really relieved to be doing this. Like the picture above I feel unchained in many ways. I have to give my Lord and Savior praise for the message today because it was the same title as this blog. I also have to give a big shout to the messenger of this message because how it was delivered was key to my understanding how it applied to me on a personal level.

This past Sunday I went to Sunday service at my old church. Or shall I say the church I am a former member of. As always it is a mental adventure for me when I go there. I always start off in defense mode right before I hit the door, during service I try my best to stay open to recieve the message, and by the end of church feel relieved and am ready to apply what was spoken to me.
This past Sunday the sermon was titled “Does Jesus live in your house“? Well internally my answer was “No” but somewhere inside I was hoping it was a house that he wanted to visit because I want him to visit as much as he wants. But I knew there were elements that made my answer a resounding “No”. In some ways I felt bad but in others I felt okay. And the reason why is because of the many times I have heard it preached that GOD works in his own way and his own time so if our home is a home that is growing in GOD then why feel bad?
