Blog: Do More

What does it take to “Do”?  In this portion of our mission statement we challenge every member of the Ave. G Church of Christ to become active outside of this building.  In a world pressed for time for all the wrong reasons that takes effort!  I would go even further to emphasize that it takes intentional effort.  To Do More is not something that will just happen as many suppose with the Big Bang Theory, it takes effort, intent, and design.  God has the design we MUST apply intent and effort.  So what does this look like today?  Let’s delve in deeper

Different Level

I remember hearing as a young person the adult class Sunday school teacher always proclaim “There’s a different devil for every level!” or something similar to that. Over the course of many years I would internalize that and it was very helpful in my life especially in the realm of education. I know that the saying was used to speak about how as we grow things don’t get easier they get harder but it has really been useful to me in terms of career. Every time I have planned and mapped out my life there, took the steps to get to where I was going, and then have God give it to me, I have faced a another devil.

Kanye West isn’t the only one with a new fire gospel album!  Our brother up north Gerald M Burnett Sr. released a gospel album recently and I can honestly say that it is the best one that I have heard in a long time!

Walk Don’t Run

 It is the refrain of every lower grade teacher in every school with linoleum floors, “Walk don’t run!”  I remember the energy and desire in elementary to HAVE to tag someone before it was too late! To hear the words “You’re it!” was unbearable so often times in order not to be “it” I had to chase someone, touch them, and then run away so as to not ever “it” again.  And in doing so the authority figures in the school did not understand that I HAD to run!

Blog: An Abel Bodied Runner

Simone Biles at the age of 22 years old is the most decorated gymnast in the history of the sport!  This young woman can do things that would hurt most people to even think about!  But there is a reason as to why she can do what she can do.  She is a hard-working athlete that probably eats nasty yet healthy food!  She does this because she wants to take care of her body! I remember a very intense game of Guesstures where I pulled the word flip and I turned a cartwheel! My ankles screamed silently within my body.
