Now is our moment! Now is our time! We are the people we have been waiting for! Yes We Can!
It amazes me how much these phrases scare so many people these days, especially church leaders. We are told that these thoughts are arrogant, impossible, and filled with false hopes. If [...]
John F. Kennedy has always been one of my heroes. So I wanted to share a piece written in the New York Times by his daughter, Caroline Kennedy.
A President Like My Father
By CAROLINE KENNEDY
OVER the years, I’ve been deeply moved by the people who’ve told me they wished they could feel inspired [...]
“I’m asking you to believe. Not just in my ability to bring about real change in Washington… I’m asking you to believe in yours.” - Barack Obama
For to long we have allowed the cynics and the doubters to tell us what can be done in this country and in this world and it [...]
While I feel the Democratic Party has many good candidates running for President let me say without a doubt that the one I support for President is Barack Obama. I have enclosed here Barack Obama’s speech from this past weekend in Iowa as I feel it shows why he should be our next President. [...]
I went to see “The Kingdom” with some friends tonight and I highly recommend it. It was a great movie and really got me thinking. There were some really good lines and the last 1/2 hour is some of the most intense scenes I have seen in awhile. I won’t share anymore [...]
Back in 2000 George W. Bush declared that he was a compassionate conservative and that he would make a good president. It is amazing to even me, someone that did not support him, how wrong he has actually been. I have spent many years in politics and I know that leadership is making [...]
I am a huge soccer fan and this morning was rough to watch the U.S. Women’s Soccer team lose its semifinal match to Brazil. The U.S. had a 51 game unbeaten streak coming in and was ranked #1 in the world. Granted when you lose 4-0 and the other team controls the ball [...]
After spending an awesome evening on Friday night hanging out and sharing an awesome dinner with some really good friends I took off for Richmond on Saturday morning to visit my friends Dan and Alicia.
It was a great weekend and a great time to catch up with Dan and Alicia. They have [...]
“Exceptional student and athlete”, “Fun-loving”, “Full of Spirit”, “Caring”, “Friend”, “Christian”
These are just some of the things I heard said about my friend Alicia’s brother Jarrett when we were in Virginia this weekend celebrating his life and grieving his sudden death.
Jarrett Lane was a son to Tracey, brother to Alicia and Fawn, brother-in-law to [...]
On January 20, 1961 John F. Kennedy spoke these words: “To those peoples in the huts and villages of half the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves, for whatever period is required. If a free society cannot help the many [...]
Let me tell you, I had an awesome weekend! I also have the greatest friends in the whole world and am so blessed to be a part of such a great community of people known as Horizon Church.
Last week started off pretty rough and when added to everything that has been going on recently [...]
Rebecca St. James’ song “Stand”
There is a time for healing
There’s a time for all purposes under the sun
There’s a time for laughter
There’s a time to let go and a time to hold on
So we are here, but why are we waiting
Why are we acting like dead men walking
The time has arrived for us to [...]
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who [...]
Well if you have been reading this blog since its inception in March 2004 you will see that a lot of it has concerned politics and my career in it. There have been numerous references to politics and as to whether I should follow my childhood dreams and run for office. Its been [...]
Have you ever heard someone speak to a crowd and just be sitting there and feel that their message was directed solely to you. Well it has happened to me a few times and this morning was one of them. DJ spoke at Horizon Towson this morning and his message really touched me. [...]
OK, so last night at link group we got into a discussion about fast food and the negative effects it can have on the body. I also realized during the discussion how much fast food I tend to eat. So I have decided to stop eating it all together. I still might [...]
It has certainly been awhile since my last post. A lot has been going on. I am working on an exciting venture with Mark that seems to be taking shape. Stay tuned for details soon. I also resigned from the Democratic Central Committee. It has been hard to think that [...]
So I am home this morning as the plumber does some unexpected work at my condo. Nothing like getting out of the shower at 6 in the morning and having the fawcett break and not being able to turn the water off.
Anyway it gave me some time to chill some and to watch an [...]
It always amazes me how nights like last night (The State of the Union) always get me fired up to want to get back involved in politics again. As I listened to the speech and the inept things that came out of the President’s mouth I realized how much I miss public service. [...]
Forty-two years ago today President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. JFK has always been one of my political heroes. Even though he died 12 years before I was born I can say that he had a big impact on my dreams of going into politics. It actually was while [...]
