School Work and Singles Conference

I have been swamped with work. I have been working on some papers for school. Finally got them completed. At the same time, I have been working hard on the church front. We are in the process of acquiring 26 acres of land for future expansion. i am excited. God has been doing an awesome work at Pleasant View and I thank God for the opportunity to be a part of it. I am preaching a Singles Conference tonight at Mt. Carmel Baptist Church in Atlanta, where the pastor is Tim Flemmings. I look forward to this assignment, even though i am still unsure of what to preach. Pray for a brotha. Hollah at you later. Shalom.

Happy Fourth of July

I know, I know. I promised in my last blog that I would not take so long between blogs, but what had happened was..... I just have been so busy. With preaching revivals and being the Best Man in a friends wedding, preaching at my own church and trying to broker a deal to benefit the church, not to mention work for my doctioral class, I have been swamped. I have been wearing myself too thin. I am seriously considering taking a few weeks off just to get myself together. I am serious about this. I begin another revival on tomorrow. I am recovering from a brief sickness that should have relieved me of my preaching duties on Sunday, but I pressed on anyway. Well, I have work today and hopefully I can get a hot dog for today. I promise I will be back soon. Hopefully. RevCEGJr

It has been a LONG TIME

I know, I know. I have been MIA. I have been so busy. I just got back from a week in Baltimore for the National Baptist Congress. It was cool. Got to hang out with my boys, Pastor Philip Pointer from Va and Pastor Rhomel Williams from Chicago, IL. These are truly my boys. They strengthen me and help me so much. Got mad love for them and even at their ages, they are two of the profound and prolific preachers of the Gospel. They push me just being around them. I also celebrated a birthday on last week. I am now an OLD 27 years old. Father Time be creeping up on a brother. I also preached an ordination service at my home chuch on Saturday morning. Sunday, I had two services. i am still journeying through the book of 1 Peter for Sunday morning. I preached a Youth day in the afternoon. i start a revival meeting at New Jerusalem in Motts, AL 2nite. I really enjoy this revival. I have preached it the last 2 years. Pray a brotha strength and I promise, I will not be so long between post next time. Peace

Winding down from Indy

I am just getting back from the weekend in Indianapolis. I did a Singles Conference for Messiahs Baptist Church and Pastor Stephen Clay. I spoke Friday Night and Saturday Morning. i enjoyed the fellowship. It was the first one for them. I was honored to be the first speaker. I hope that the information will be fruitful for those who were there. Pastor Clay extended the invitation for me to preach Sunday for his 23rd Anniversary. It was a good service. I missed home, but I know that everything went smooth at the homefront. Now I am back home for a few days and I have to go back to Pastor Goodman. I have a few things that i need to get in order at the church. We are having Vacation Bible School this week and our Annual Homecoming Week this weekend. Pray for me. Next week I am on my way to Baltimore for the National Baptist Congress.

Hamptons Ministers Conference

Well, for the last few days i have been in Hampton, VA for the Annual Ministers Conference held at Hampton University. This is probably one of my favorite conferences because of the ecumenical atmosphere, it is preaching and worship driven and i get to see all my homeboys that i dod not get to see on the regular. Preachers have a sorta of fraternal bond with one another, because of the mere fact that we share the Gospel. I have had fun and learned alot. i have spent time with my pastor and other ministry friends from across the country. I have to make a confession. I have not done as much homework that I needed to get done. hopefully I can hit it hard today. Peace
