The Reader Who Skims Or Gives Up

A couple months ago, I was finally able to finish a book that rested on my book shelf and occasionally my nightstand for nearly a year. It wasn’t an awful read, but some chapters felt longer than the entire book itself. This caused me to lose interest and yes you guessed it, not pick it back up for the longest time. When we skip ahead in a book we may be a little let down by what we find, or we…

Read & Live

Read & Live

A new year began not too long ago. A time for many to set goals for the next 365 days. I know there are those of who have set the goal of reading the entire Bible by the end of the year. I think the oldest, most translated book in the world is worth the read. There’s good stuff inside: The origin of our world and humankind; a set of perfect laws; people whom we can relate to and learn from; and…

Still I will Praise Him

Times of uncertainty have arrived for many of us as of late. Fear of not knowing all will be okay has made even the most level headed person unbalanced. Whether that fear stem from the life changing, life taking coronavirus; making enough money; energy draining job; political leaders with agendas; disastrous weather; etc, everyone has some type of trouble causing their heads and hearts to ache.…

Seven Day Scripture: Day 3

“Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life- is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.” – 1 John 2:15-17 NKJV It’s so easy for one…

Seven Day Scripture: Day 2

“Whoever comes to Me, and hears my sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like: He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock”. – Luke 6: 47, 48 NKJV Each day I find that is is not just enough to hear a sermon once a week…

Presidents Are Still Human

I encourage everyone who already hasn’t to go out and vote today. However, as you wait in line or cast yours votes online, do so with the understanding that you are voting for mortal men, not a Savior.

Make no mistake, all presidents from George Washington to Donald Trump have/had good qualities and did things that were morally good for the nation. Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves, even if not…

We Did A Thing

Hello everyone it’s been a while since I gave you a life update. This is one thing I know is worth mentioning and it would be insulting if I didn’t write about. On July 3, I proposed to my girlfriend/ best friend Courtni Devonne Hobbs.

I must have gotten only 3 to 4 of sleep in the AM before dropping to one knee at Starbucks. I had convinced Courtni (so we had a reason to dress a little nice)…

Should Christians Protest?

This past Saturday as I was enjoying another Sabbath at my parents’ house, piecing together a puzzle, I couldn’t help but overhear a sermon my mother was listening to in the living room. The speaker- Pastor Carlton P. Bryd. He explained how he had had recently attended one of the Black Lives Matter protests that are grabbing the attention of the media as of late.

Pastor Byrd said that a church…

Church Activities: Bible Chain Game

It has been a blessed learning experience throughout the years to participate, facilitate, and learn about an array of spiritual activities to keep all ages engaged in learning about the one who gave His life for us, and about His book. I thank my parents, friends, church family, and those who are gracious enough to share their ideas online. I must also praise the one who gives us all the ideas.…

1 Hour With Him

Hello everyone. What I say to you right now is not to glorify myself(trust me this man speaking to you ain’t perfect), but as encouragement. I would like to thank my pastor who gave me this awesome idea because people like me need a nice reminder to spend some time with Christ.

Each day we should seek to take one hour with Christ. You could start off by going down on your knees to speak with Him.…

What Does Adventist Youth Mean to Me?

Since April, the Adventist Youth program at my church(Clarksville Seventh-day Adventist Church) has been occurring each Saturday an hour before sunset to close out the sabbath. Last week, my father forwarded me a text that was sent by one of our church members, Joanne Traughber. As a way to inform her Sabbath school students about the ministry, Ms. Joanne asked for a quote on what A.Y. means to…

Casa de David

It seems like forever since my last blog post. Fear not my friends, for there’s life in these old hands still. Let me dust off these cobwebs and try to get my groove back.

JUST KIDDING! FaceApp scared the heck out of me too when I first used the aging feature on myself.

Hello and welcome back friends and family. Greetings to my new readers who I probably scared the daylights out of with with my…

Question: Why Do Young People Leave the Church? (Reposted)

Over a year ago, I felt moved by the spirit to talk about youth and why some of them end up leaving God’s house to not set foot in it for a while or ever again. Quite a bit has happened since I shared that blog post. For over a year I have been an instructor for our church Pathfinder Club, in which I help minister to the youth about Christ. In prepping for those classes and taking my time getting…
