An Almost Apology….from the Uppity Negro

If you want to view this an apology, by all means do so, but even I’ll admit it’s going to be a half-hearted one. I talked over the whole Michael Jackson death with my friend on Sunday afternoon and I was telling him how I felt and what I had written on my blog.  We […]

Beware The Spirit Killers: Bridging the Gap Between The Elders and the Joshua Generation

Given my current line of work, I interact often with youth.  Last week was definitely the case seeing as how I worked in the morning with a bunch of nine and ten year olds and in the evening I worked heavily with a middle school/junior high school bunch of school aged children.   Thank God I […]
