Things I like
I like the day and the simple things that write a story that can only be seen by the person reading the writings. I like a knowledge of a man that knows he is not in a hurry and he has eternity to get to know you. I like instant journey, that is as much a journey as it is instant. I like the word impossible and I am drawn to it like sunrise to my brown skin. I like things that don't make sense and like to take time to come up with a story that makes a reason for a poet to be poetic. I like the look in your eyes when you look at me with that look like we can and will talk forever. I like water. I like the time it takes to figure things that out like a project that needs 100 minds thinking about it but has 1 faithful giant of wisdom, with the input of geniuses. I like to give the wrong answer sometimes and I also like to spell it wrong and be proud of the way I spell. I like to not know the details and be sure that they will be figured out. I like to know a version of the right answer that causes a new question that should be asked. I like to write late at night when the day is done right before the new one begins. I like to talk it out, worship it out, ohh that is the same thing. I like my friends like John likes Jesus. I like to take something that can not be owned and own it and then give it away. I like to rejoice about my past, enjoy the present, and look forward to the future all at the same time. I like when I meet someone that has been an one and then make them a two. I like to laugh and cry at the same time. I like extremes and like it with a dose of simple. I like the words yes and no the same amount, they are equally valuable. I like to fold my own cloths. I like to take a bad idea and make it worse to see if that makes it better. I like to notice things that I am sure no one else notices and then make someone aware of what I have found. I like poetry!

It was all a mess
I love a messy stage full of people all doing things that seem to take some people lifetimes to get up the courage to do. Tonight I was on the stage with people who have seen the freedom of the Gospel and live it all the time. There were cords running here and there like intersection of a busy city. So many things on the floor like a mine field full of empty bottles of water, instruments, and mic stands. But no one cared about the messiness, it reminds me of the slums of Israel were people can't cross walls that keep them from their brothers. Although away from the world and surrounded by guards, still HAPPY! Tonight could be described as a barn yard fiddle fest a with song of love that brought hope and healing to everyone! I am an instrument of heaven that sounds like a book written, tested, and trusted before the beginning of time. I know who I am and what makes me tick and it is love like a man finding his family again. It is amazing to see what a simple message that has been told in its purity can do to people. We all cried out with laughter in our throats like a tickle me Elmo's giggling none stop for no reason. I got to be me at the fullest yelling face to face with an ever present God that made himself a man so He could make His enemies His friends, son/daughters, and lovers. I got to me and it was way more then just OK.

Places I love
I have found a list of places that have caused a fire in me that makes my destiny free. I have fallen in love with the world over this last year but there is two places that stand out as places that are seen by my heart. I will always have a love for Israel and that will never change, because that is where my skin is free. But New York and LA are calling to me like two small children looking for a their father. They are the son to me that is coming home after seeing the world for what it really is. I have had the privilege to spend time with people that are hungry for the souls of a generation needy and orphaned, and they are happy to tell people them are loved by a Father that has been waiting for them to return. I have become smitten with the charm of places that the whole world looks up to for guidance. It has been said about me that I am a man of wealth and influence and I know the time has come to see how far the rabbit hole goes and how big the stage will become. I am taking on the weightless burden of loving the world through two cities. God I want you to know that I am in and I am ready for what you have for me in this great nation and in the two capitols of the worlds influence centers. I call out now is the time to create and see what can happen. When Jesus gets a hold of a person He causes them to become a canvas where His color can be seen and no better place then where the colors of his heart can be seen. There is a message of joy, hope, and love that is being released in the place where all have their eyes planted. Stars are being put in place that are overcome by the goodness of our God. I am the mouthpiece of a message that brings freedom and brings heaven. How great is it to be a son to the King, well I am going to show the world that I am a spoiled brat to a Father that gives His children everything. And the one thing that all the Kings children must know is that there is no striving and work needed to gain the love they were born/created to know. It is a gift that is fueled by a relationship that causes a man to be one with God and His purpose for all of eternity. And what is eternal life that we would know the Father and the Father would be trapped by His own design forever in us. Jesus is a man and will always be a man and it pleases the Father for the Son to be one with His perfect creation. The only thought in my mind is how much it pleases the Father to be one with His sons and His sons to be one with Him. And this thought is the basis of my quest to let the world know that He cares and His plan is only for good.

My Tongue
Sometimes I feel like it is possible to sum up experiences in a couple of words. I think if I can just have a cool tag phrase or logo everyone will know what I am talking about, kind of like the Cocoa Cola sign. But people say things like my life has been changed and we all clap and say wow that is so cool, not knowing what they really mean. I want to say I really got wacked this week in such a good way. Sometime I really believe that God is waiting for me to say out loud what I want, so He can be a great dad and take care of it for me. It seem like everything that I spoke out was coming true. A couple of highlights; I saw a bunch of healings, many people set free, I found some new best friends, remembered my grandfather because I saw him in the eyes of a man that didn't even know him, I found out that what I do is the best job in the world, and I just had a great time. I know how when John said at the end of his gospel there is not enough books in the world to contain all the good stuff that Jesus has, and is doing, what he is talking about. I feel like I learned a lot of things that matter in between the time that I spend on stage. Here is one of those lessons, God's answers are always yes. Everything I ask Him for is yes. He gives you what you want and he will make it happen.
I spent some time with my cousin and her family today we just had a great time laughing and catching up. We always talk about our jobs and what we are doing and how that aligns with our vision of our lives. I started to talk to her about what I am doing and where I am going with my life. She asked some cool questions, like only she can, and she looked at me and said "this is exactly what you said you would be doing when we talked years ago". I didn't remember the conversation until she said brought it up. I remember telling her that I wanted to travel the world, see it, and experience it. I wanted to help people and do things that matter. I am now doing all the things that I had told her I wanted to do. She looks me in the eyes and says our tongues are so powerful and God says yes to all the things that we say. I painted a picture of my future by just speaking and now I am learning the reality of a world that I created with my tongue. I really believe God wants to give us the amen to everything that comes out of our mouths. Tonight I believe that I am powerful and what I say is important, I create and my Father loves it that way.
