Finally, I thought about you.  I thought about the opportunity I was blessed with, to have individuals even interested in what I had to say on a given subject.
Soooooo…. It’s been a while.
 
If you're reading this, you're better to me than I deserve.  You've actually come back to see what's going on in the world of #PIP.  When did I last post something for you guys?  (literally pauses to go and check the website…)

How to Build Your Team... (Post #71)

"Start by praying and saying, "Lord, please guide me in Your knowledge and wisdom, as I seek to build my support and community. If there is anyone in my planned selection, who doesn't support my improvement, please reveal this to me. In Your Son Jesus Name, I pray, Amen."
This Sunday, I watched as Jimmy Johnson, the former coach of the Dallas Cowboys, was informed of his pending induction into the NFL Hall of Fame as a member of the inducted class of 2020. In the process of telling him, those in attendance cheered gleefully, and it was clear that he was undeniably emotional. Former players like Terry Bradshaw and Troy Aikman all looked on, as Coach Johnson did his best to compose himself and express appreciation for this great honor.

Releasing Your "Anger Anchor" (Post #64)

"However, it's essential that we humbly acknowledge the words within James 1:20 which says, "For human anger does not accomplish God's righteousness."(CSB)."
Fact:  everybody gets angry.  By accurate definition, the word 'anger' is defined as "a strong feeling of annoyance, displeasure, or hostility." Wikipedia takes anger to a higher mark by adding that "the emotion anger, also known as wrath or rage, is an intense emotional state. It involves a strong uncomfortable and hostile response to a perceived provocation, hurt, or threat."

No, Mental Illness is NOT Trendy!  (Post #63)

"However, until we start a dialogue with the uninformed who hope to become allies, I believe it will never be trendy, only tragic."
It has been said that the conversation about “mental illness” in the 21st century, is one that’s become trendy and chic. 
 
Yeah (sigh), okay.
 
In fairness, I understand why such a thought may exist.  I believe this notion stands because for the first time in our western society, conversations about mental health are actually happening, and (even better) they’re accepted.  No, we aren’t talking about mental health now because it’s some new phenomenon.  Make no mistake about it, I believe that the need to address mental health, has been a real-world matter for as long as mankind has been in existence.

Hey You, OWN your Adulthood!  (Post #57)

"However, while the point is true, you mustn’t forget that there’s a reason why they call grown-folks business, “GROWN-FOLKS BUSINESS.”  It’s because this is the business that must be addressed and discussed by adults."
I may be alone with this one and if so, I’ll take it; however, I seriously doubt that I am…
 
Full disclosure: I am 38 years old. 
 
That means I’ve been on the Earth longer than the earliest iPhone and even (brace yourself millennials) longer than the whole internet.   I am 2 years shy of 40.  That’s right, 40!!  Right now, there are people that I really don’t think should call me “sir,” that really do call me “sir” (to my face)! And please don’t get me started on this grey hair.

"Am I willing to risk all that I have for this message?  Would I be willing to stand alone for this message?   Or, would I even be willing to lose my life for it?"
*The photograph above is of the late Fred Hampton.
 
I woke up this morning, in a deep pondering about what exactly this blog’s purpose should be.  This thought led to prayer, and this prayer led to this.

​So, why haven’t I been on?
​Good people.  First and foremost, I want to say thanks to everyone who takes the time to read my blog posts.  Especially to those of you who have been consistent and day-1 supporters of this thing of ours.  I take your support very seriously.  Granted, I know we aren’t at “Google” status with this; however, support at any level must be treasured and I want you to know that your support is valued immensely.

Is Every Contentious Conversation Worth Having?  (Post #50)

“Lord, if there is any reason why I shouldn’t have this conversation, I pray you’ll make it clear.  And if I should, I pray you’ll guide my mouth."
So, I’ve been thinking (uh oh) on a subject that I’m not quite sure I’m fully convinced of.  In other words, even as of this writing, I’m not 100% sure of exactly where I stand on this issue.  However, I’m confident that as I progress further in this writing, I’ll work things out via my prayerfully guided and Spirit-led, typed expression (just a complex way of saying, “Jesus, take the wheel”).  
​
So, with that all of that great pressure on my back, let’s get started.

5 Reason why you Ought to Rethink Gossip... (Post #49)

Sure, there are Christians who avoid and despise gossip, but there’s a reason why the Bible addresses the topic.  
Pookie infamously said, “it be callin' me, man... I just got to go to it!” (PSA:  if you’re a reader of this blog and you don’t know who ‘Pookie’ is, don’t worry about it.)  Now, when he made this statement, he was referring to crack cocaine.  However, I believe that there are many that would make the same statement about something non-narcotic, but just as addictive.

Networking for Introverts!  (Post #42)

"Your new best friend or the person who could be the answer to your biggest problem could be in that room.  HOWEVER, your fears are keeping you silent.  Or worse, they’re keeping you AWAY from a blessing."'
So, today I’m beginning to own my own case of social awkwardness.  
​
Now, don’t go too far, I’m not crippled by crowds.  After all, I can hold it together in a social setting.  However, if I’m being all the way honest, I’ll admit that I’m definitely not a fan of the unknown social settings, nor do I enjoy venues that require you to meet and engage people that you don’t know.
