Faith like a child

About Me

So about me..., Hmm. I'm black. Just kidding. Well I am black and a whole lot of other things too. But when the police pull me over... I'm black. I'm from the ghetto part of Ontario/Pomona, and I am a Christian. I guess that makes me public enemy #1 (poor black and Christian) and on top of that an educated poor black Christian with a lot of ambition. I was a missionary in Taiwan for a year and I have also done missionary work in Cambodia, Singapore, Mexico, South Central L.A. and Ontario. My dream is to open up a Christian school of the Visual, performing, and media arts. But that will takes some time. I was an art major at Azusa Pacific University and I enjoy video production, writing, playing my saxophone and painting. I am currently a College Pastor and Director of the Arts Ministry "Dream & Imagine" .

Music:

I love music and at any given moment I could tell you the song that beautifully illuminates the wonderfully choreographed ballet of my life. You might catch me bobbing my head to the soulful sounds of Erykah Badu, Mary J. Blige, Me'shell Ndegeocello, Alicia Keys or Jill Scott while driving. But while riding a bike through the countryside of Taiwan or traveling over seas, John Mayer and Bruce Hornsby are all time favorites. While painting I like to listen to classical jazz; John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Wes Montgomery, and Dexter Gordon. But when I’m cleaning my house or cooking I enjoy contemporary jazz; Boney James, Kenny G., Norman Brown, Ronny Jordan, Kirk Whalum and Joyce Cooling. When I am in an aggressive mood I like Tupac, Jay Z, Nas, and the WuTang. Sometimes I’m in a conscience mood, then I like to hear Marvin Gaye, Common, and Mos Def but if I’m in a romantic mood its all about Brian McKnight, Babyface, and Will Downing, but when feeling classy its Frank Sinatra, Etta James, Nat King Cole, Billy Holiday and Diana Krall. When feeling spiritual its Kirk Franklin, James Cleveland, Shirley Caesar, and Hill Song.

Breathe Out

       I inhale and my existence steadily passes away like time on a universal alarm clock, And the more I grow, the more I know that I know nothing. Nothing that is; to save me fr...

How to impress God

Even the most sincere of our attempts to impress God with our righteousness is futile.  God is only pleased with those who exhibit a lifestyle of faith; trusting and believing in Jesus Christ whi...
