Dream - a new poem

Hello family, I just had a speaking engagement at Illinois College this last Monday and it was truly incredible. There were supposed to be about 25 college students coming to hear me speak on Martin Luther King Jr. but over 300 people showed up!! It turns out the event was advertised in the local paper. I was so blessed to hear all of the great comments from different people including the Dean of the College! It truly touched me. I pray the message I delivered was received and that it inspired… Continue

WRITER'S BLOCK - A NEW POEM

I voted for then Senator Barack Obama at 6:22am and then left to finish my day, realizing that if we won I was doing my part to help establish history. Well it turned out that over 50 million other folks felt t… Continue
