Pay the PriceThere’s a pivotal moment in the old classic movie, Sparkle, where the main character says, “Everybody's got a story, about love and the good things. But for the spices of your life, you have got to pay the price if you know what I mean.” This statement reflects my position on faith this morning; whereby the circumstances of life require us all to pay some price - if you know what I mean. It is here – the spices of life - our faith in God grows up. Jesus eloquently makes this point clear. He says, “Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."

The notion that most people will have a career is relatively new. As recently as 20 years ago, the traditional view of careers held influence, one that's still reflected in dictionaries of all kinds. Careers are "a chosen pursuit; a profession or occupation," they say, furthering the impression that careers are the domain of highly skilled people or those with a calling, and imply status and success. The elite have careers, such as doctors, lawyers, writers, military generals, politicians and educators.

I am still the kid's Dad.Hey, nobody said being a good dad was easy. But, in America “black fatherhood” is under attack due to the assumption that the American Black male somehow places less value on parenting. In the face of evidence to dismiss the existing assumptions about black dads, there’s resistance from the media to change the conversation. According to recently published new data by The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), black dads are just as hands-on when it comes to raising their kids. 00:13:00Rev NewtonnoCDC,fatherhood,partent trouble,divorce,african americanHey, nobody said being a good dad was easy.

We do not need politically motivated campaigns "to build ladders of opportunity" (sorry President Obama), nor do we need rudimentary, vague and non-specific ideologies on how we can enact change. We do not need prayer watches or a laundry list of problems beginning with “pulling up your baggy pants.” And, even more importantly, we do not need to be told to take the leadership role in the home and the church. .
