Can We Defend the Indefensible?

Blessed Because You're An OvercomerRev. Dr. Sinclair Grey III

Always encourage yourself. No matter how the situation appears or what you feel like, never allow discouragement to have the final word. You're too blessed to not walk in your victory. You'll face trials and obstacles, but you have the power to overcome. Remember, you're a child of God. 
The apostle Paul declared, "I can endure all these things through the power of the one who gives me strength." Please don't miss this. Don't depend on others to lift you up because God has given you the power and anointing to do it for yourself.



Sinclair, it is interesting to note how our culture believes it cannot look for community support. Your last sentence, "Don't depend on others to lift you up because God has given you the power and anointing to do it for yourself." brings this point home. The tenet is linked to the notion of pulling one's self up by his/her own boot straps. It is very much a part of our thinking, and I believe contributes a helluva a lot of the fuel, or the ingredients for weak minds that become demented minds in this imposed cultural isolation of ours! I believe this subtly contributes to depression. Nevertheless, this presence in American social and intellectual consciousness is more than enough reason to study our beliefs, and eventually be transformed by a renewing of our minds! - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 11.27.13



Sinclair said, "Education, intelligence, common sense, morals, ethics, confidence, humility, personality, and spirituality are excellent qualities to have and exhibit." and I add "... and a healthy sexual appetite to co-manage it all with some degree of impeccability." - Gregory


A STORY

a woman of dark colors sitting in the dark forest unafraid, or disturbed by anything sitting on the ground.

"I came upon her in a late night stalk in the forest years ago. I stood transfixed unable to change positions, or figure out what was an acceptable posture. But, the better part of me was prepared to fight and I was ready. She, whoever she was, did not move or flinch. She could have hid in the dark foliage, but didn't and that told me a lot. . ."  - Dawn Wolf, Keeper of Stories 11.27.13
