THE DEATH OF A LEGEND
Some people are already tired of hearing about the death of Michael Jackson and the subsequent drama to determine what happened, who gets what, the state of his kids, etc… I don’t follow the news on Michael, every waking moment, but this is the price we pay when someone who’s rich and extremely famous suddenly dies. After all, Michael is one of the greatest - if not the greatest musical entertainer of this generation - who affected the lives of millions of people, with his music and life, across the globe. He wasn’t called the “King of Pop” just because he needed a title. He was undeniably the “King of Pop” (now people are asking who’ll be the next), so why would some think the news coverage to be too heavy? Anyway, I do want to share my point of view about Michael - now that things have simmered down just a bit.

About a month or so ago, I got a copy of The Message Behind the Movie: How To Engage With A Film Without Disengaging Your Faith. The book is written by Douglas M. Beaumont. At first sight I knew it was for me - given that I’m a person who loves Storytelling and who is serious about my faith.

What major desires live within you?
I’ll be 35 years old next month - if I live to see July 27th. I’m amazed at the fact that I’ve been around on this planet for over three decades. What amazes me most is that over 15 years ago - fresh out of high school - I attempted suicide - feeling that there was no future worth me waiting for. But God is merciful, because I’m still be here when so many others have succeeded in taking their own lives. So I can’t take any credit for that. I’m so grateful for the life I’m living. It’s not free from problems, but it is fulfilling and beyond my limited dreams.

A friend of mine emailed to check and see if I was doing alright. They had stopped by this blog and saw I hadn’t written in a while. I’m glad she did. It has been a while since my last post.
Things have been moving so fast and I’ve been balancing a lot: work, church, revisions and concept art for my new book, Speedsuit Powers (releases this Fall). I’m also reading Moving from Ordinary to Extraordinary: The Teen’s Guide to High School Success , by Dr. Sharnnia Artis . It’s a great read and is an excellent resource for teens transitioning from middle school to high school.
