the power of love
As I sit here at the table, its 2:33 am. I should be asleep considering I will be serving in a few hours. But there are some things that rattle my soul and sleep will only postpone what I ails me. Love is one of the most powerful, misused and misunderstood things on Earth. We…

Over-time
I’ve noticed a few things recently (as I usually do). In my quest of becoming a better person, I have hastily forgotten something along the way. I desire to be known for doing good things in my life. I want to be a good friend, caring father, wonderful sibling, loyal son and loving husband. While…

lettuce spray
Pardon me. I meant, “Let us pray.” I’ve been learning a lot already in the past six days in the new year. A recurring theme in my life these days has been grace. In this case, I mean that thing that in which one can give to someone else. I’ve talked about it before (here),…

Thank You, Everyone! (2013 Review)
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2013 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 1,900 times in 2013. If it were a cable car, it would take about 32 trips to carry that many people. Click here to see the…

do YOUR work
The current post stems from a conversation I had with one of my brothers. Enjoy. When we are first born, we are taught to do things, and then we do them. This is emulation. This is how we initially learn, but there also comes a time when that learning process should change. Eventually, you should learn…

things I’d tell myself
Hey dude. I’m you, just about 24 years older. Nice shirt, by the way. I liked that shirt a lot. There are a few things I’d like to tell you, to help you dodge unnecessary heartache. You’ll do great, if you listen. #1. Accepting yourself is the true definition of being “cool”. You’ll be in…

does thankfulness abound?
It’s Thanksgiving at Le Browns. LOL. I’m here in beautiful Charleston, SC, enjoying my family. It feels good to be home. Honestly, I miss my Uncle Paul a little (read about it here). Beyond that, everything is grand. While talking with my Dad, something came up. He said that during the holidays, he really missed home…

Who sees the real me?
Who sees the real me? It’s as deceptive as footprints in the sand; all you see is feet. This is something that I haven’t been able to actually answer since I first heard it. I’m not really sure who sees the real me. I’ve often said that if all of my friends got together in…
