RIP to the Bad Boy rapper who later joined the Christian Ministry

They say your college days will be filled with some of your best memories. I am fortunate to say that sentence applies to myself. The whole Bad Boy Family movement was the soundtrack to my life and if the Bad Boy catalogue was my album then Craig Mack’s Flava In Ya Ear was the song they played with the beginning credits.

From the countless days rollin in the 96 Toyota Celica with my roommate Vinnie, while we got lost in upstate New York to dorm parties with my future wife Jhen; the sounds of the Coca Cola bottles forever ringing.

Soon after all the success in Hip Hop, Craig was suddenly nowhere to be seen. He later popped up in South Carolina as a man of God. You can read more about his story here.

Thank you Puffy for the sounds of our college days and #RIP to the first one out of the gate for Bad Boy… #CraigMack

Years of praying leads to this week

I have been praying for this moment for years. It has been a constant back and forth with God. We had a lot of false starts and false hopes. Each heartbreak was a lesson and my faith remained strong. It all comes down to this week. An unexpected opportunity at a time of need. The world says it’s not possible but the lord has already spoken victory into my heart. Keep you updated. Please pray for me! God bless. PJSLB

One day the stress of your child’s schedule will go away.

On the surface that sounds good. I mean, no more having to wake up extra early on a Saturday for practice (softball, baseball, basketball, football, etc.). I used to dread it as well but now i am beginning to realize just how precious this moment is. One day they will grow up and move on. The craziness of the schedule will be gone only to be left with quietness. Take advantage of the time spent with your kids. It goes away and once its gone, you are only left with the memories. Trust me, I am midst of this surreal feeling right now. God Bless. PJSLB

The Bible calmed me down

The word of God has really helped me this week. I am in a place right now where i just want to give up. I am frustrated in doing my best and never seeing success come from it. The Bible this week was my “getting talked off the ledge” moment. Thank you lord for allowing me to vent and instilling in me a level of peace that can only come from you. PJSLB
