Human beings are the most important endangered species on our planet…because now we are capable of obliterating our whole human race. We have evolved to the point if one button is pushed and another one in retaliation, the world as we know it – will be gone. Humanity lives on just a spec in the universe among billions of galaxies.

Movies about God are going mainstream. But Hollywood has a God problem. How do you film pure consciousness without any physical form? What does God look like? Sci-Fi movies creatively show us what aliens and angels might look like. We even have an image of how horrifying demons can appear. But for God, the Old... Continue Reading →

But I think it's funny that some of these same people believe in a God from heaven! I mean, what heaven are they talking about besides the space outside of... Continue Reading →

Whether it’s more money, more power, more toys, more love; trying to get what you want in life is all consuming. But... Continue Reading →
The stone walls stretched skyward high above and the floor felt like a solid drum. As I beat my chest, it echoed all around until the whole chamber reverberated with a resonating beat. What is going on here? I became the sound and simply couldn't get enough of it until my friends pulled me away to explore... Continue Reading →
They started singing. My expectation was a Caribbean stereotype of lively black spirituals.
