In this season of Advent
we wait for God-with-us arriving,
an answer to prayer.
A: Come, O Lord.
The world is broken
and bound by selfishness, disease, and violence.
We see its hurt on the news, among our families, and within our hearts.
A: Come, O Lord.
Jesus brings a new way of life that
values each person and all creation,
shows love in the face of hate,
and produces abundance from scarcity.
A: Come, O Lord.
We both wait and welcome
trusting that Jesus has come into the world,
is with us now, and
will be more fully in the time to come.
A: Come, O Lord.
Jesus' way begins today.
We're here to practice and prepare.
As the people of God
gathered at Our Savior's
We commit to preparing the way
for God's kingdom by
"Serving God,
God's People,
and our Community"
We wait in hope. Sometimes our faith is fragile
as the light of a candle.
At others, it is strong and spreading
as a spark igniting brush.
We light the candles of our Advent wreath
as a sign of our hope:
(one, then two)-
(one, then two, then three)-
(one, then two, then three, then four)-
growing, waiting, then complete.
Come, Lord Jesus.
A: Amen.

Read the Bible Grace and peace to you, siblings in Christ.
Today's gospel text has traditionally been interpreted as an encouragement for us to use what we have in God's service. Everything we have comes from God and belongs to God. God cares what we do with it- whether that it is our money, time, or talents. (slide- sticker chart) If we like to stick to the happy side, this text forms an image of God as the master of the sticker chart, rewarding us for the good choices we make. If we're sticking a bit more to the text, we might switch from carrot to stick and warn everyone that they're going to end up punished if they don't work hard for God.
This morning, I'm going to offer up an alternative understanding of this parable that's really captivated me as I've been studying, praying, and talking with others about this text. It might not be the primary way you'll continue to understand this text, but my intention is that it pushes you into greater thought and prayer as you meet Jesus challenging you and offering you hope through this text and preaching.
(slide- for it is..)
"For it is as if…"
Jesus has been preaching a series of parables that are meant both to confuse and reveal. With a parable, there are no easy answers. They're meant to be stories that stick in your head.
(slide- gobstopper)
Parables are like a gobstopper, with layers on layers of new meaning that reveal themselves the longer you think on them.
The outer layer of this parable might bring a message that you're supposed to make money for God. What other message might be revealed after more contemplation?
Let's locate this parable within the gospel. Jesus tells this parable after his entrance into Jerusalem. When he turns towards Jerusalem, he turns towards his death. His teachings and his increasingly hostile encounters with the authorities are all moving towards his crucifixion. In the chapter of our parable and the one preceding, Jesus is talking about the end times and the coming kingdom of God. He doesn't give straight answers. These teachings are apocalyptic, they pull back a curtain and reveal something about the disconnect between the way things are and the way God intends for things to be.
(slide re: apocalyptic)
God's kingdom is an alternative reality that is being set up against the way things are. Jesus is bringing in this kingdom. His preaching and actions throughout the gospel give glimpses of what this kingdom is all about. Jesus is helping people rediscover their primary relationship to God as the one who created and sustains them- the one who has named us good and beloved. The kingdom of God has a transformed social structure centered in the remembered reality that each person is worthy, each person is a reflection of God and carries God's spirit.
We also need to locate this parable in the setting in which it was first taught and written. Jesus preaches this parable to a people located in a specific place and time, and the gospel is written to a certain culture. For the sake of understanding this text, it's important to know that in that culture, people thought of wealth as a limited sum. There's only so much wealth out there to be divided among all the people. If one person has a lot of money, that necessarily means that another person has less.
(limited sum slide)
The master gives out money and sits back. When he returns he is pleased with those who have done whatever they could to get more money. We hear them say, "you gave me this much and I made this much," but if we remember that there is only so much out there, we wonder who now has less because these slaves- well, really their master- has more. They aren't "making money" as if it comes from nowhere- they're taking money.
The parable ends, "For to all those who have, more will be given, and they will have an abundance; but from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away." (slide) In other words: "The rich get richer and the poor get poorer."
Yikes. In that truism, we have a point at which the circumstances of this parable transcend time and hit home for us. We don't live in the same economic system or with the same theories of economics, so maybe we don't buy in to the idea that there's only so much out there- we might be developing ways that there can be more for all.
But as a congregation of people who live and serve as and among those who have times when bills can't get paid or there isn't enough money to buy food- and yet can turn on the TV and see the wildly extravagant lives of others- well. Yes. We've seen those who have more get more, and those who have nothing lose it all.
But we can't stop uncovering the layers there. This parable isn't primarily about economic theory. It's about the kingdom of God.
The Kingdom of God inspires disruptive change.
The third slave refuses to take part in a system of economic exploitation. He does nothing with the master's money.
The master calls him a "worthless slave." Worthless- this one did not engage in the culture that says you're only valuable if you make money.
The master casts him out, into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
The Kingdom of God is rejected by the dominant culture. It results in its followers being thrown out of society.
Remember again the context of this parable. Jesus is proclaiming and living the Kingdom of God. People are offended. They are angry. They reject him. They will plot and carry out a plan to kill him. He will be hanged in the manner and place that symbolizes rejection, ridicule, suffering, and failure. Jesus will be cast into the outer darkness.
The community of the gospel writer will experience the cost of the offensive gospel. Even as some are transformed by their witness, others will be angry and reject them. They will lose friends, family, and stability. They, along with all the Jewish people, will be crushed under the power of the Roman empire. They will know weeping.
Jesus' preaching and teaching uncovers the way our culture erases the dignity of each person. By proclaiming the positive: God loves you, God forgives you, God is with you, God intends for all to live in peace and for everyone to have what they need, Jesus shows us the kingdom of God as a radical alternative to the way things are today. That vision of the Kingdom of God inspires us to work towards its coming.
In more recent years, we have seen people inspired by God to be workers of disruptive change. These people uncovered the life-limiting systems of this world by refusing to participate in their death-dealing forces any longer. They declare that the way things are isn't the only way it has to be.
(slide- Rosa)
Rosa Parks, the students at the Woolworth lunch counter, and the countless others of the 1960s civil rights movement refused to live in a system where those with darker skin were seen as less than those with lighter skin.
(slide- counter) Through protests, lawsuits, and visionary preaching, they uncovered the brokenness of the way things were and walked forward into a world shaped by the promise of God's kingdom, that each person is a being of worth and deserving of dignity.
In more recent weeks, we've seen increasing momentum against the way things are regarding sexual harassment and assault. Suddenly, there is a shift against power's assumed right to demand access to bodies. The media has not picked up the religious grounding to this shift. Perhaps this is because the church has been a part of the problem. We've been afraid to proclaim the kingdom promise that God created us, bodies and all, and values us not only in a spiritual sense, but as embodied creatures.
Those who stand up to the systems of power in this world will be rejected and pushed out. If we are willing to risk everything for the kingdom, we might find ourselves suffering. But it is in suffering, in rejection, that we will be met by Jesus, because Jesus was also pushed out.
Jesus will not leave us in the outer darkness, but will carry us with him into resurrection. Jesus was raised from the dead, a sign of hope to us that the power of the systems of this world is not the ultimate power. God has ultimate power for life. God is using God's power to fully bring in God's kingdom. Today we live with hope for the kingdom. We get little visions of God's kingdom and little moments of living into it. We work with God's priorities in mind today and sometimes feel the sting of the world's reaction. Those rejections are the labor pains through which God will bring new life. God will establish God's kingdom. On that day, we will know the joy of living in community as people of value, worth, and dignity. We will know the triumph of victory over all the systems of today that limit life and deal death. God will give us life abundant and eternal. God will turn our weeping into laughter. We will have joy in Jesus' presence forever.

Grace and peace to you, siblings in Christ.
Aah, aaah, aaachooo!
(God bless you).
Thank you. Thank you for blessing me.
Huh. "Bless you." What do you think that's all about? We use the words bless and blessings to talk about a lot of different things.
We say "bless you" to be nice. We meet a new baby or land a new job and say, "what a blessing." If we're Southerners we might say "bless your heart" as nice words to cover a nasty attitude. Even in the church we can be a bit confused about what blessings are and who gets them. Some churches teach that your personal health and wealth are signs of God's blessings, a reward for your good faith. Lutherans don't teach that, but some of us might believe it anyway.
Jesus preaches a whole sermon on blessing. I think his audience had to be wondering what he meant by the word blessed. He doesn't use the word the way they might expect. They- and we- might equate blessing with success, to be blessed is to be winning at life. But then we hear Jesus speak, and he calls people blessed that we wouldn't think of being being happy or successful.
Blessed are the poor in spirit? Blessed are those who mourn? Blessed are those who are persecuted or rejected?
Not in any way I've thought of blessing!
So what might Jesus be meaning when he uses the word blessed?
One way would be to hear blessed as "God is there." "God is there, with the poor in spirit." "God is there, with those who mourn." "God is there, with those who are persecuted."
There is blessed space, holy ground, where these struggling, overlooked and pushed aside ones are because God is there. God chooses to value all people. God is with them- with us- whether our lives match society's expectation of what blessed success looks like or not.
When Jesus preaches the beatitudes, he's teaching the disciples to see with God's eyes and priorities. They will be continuing Jesus' work when he's gone. These words are part of their training. They need to know where God chooses to be so that they can be there, too.
Perhaps after Jesus' death and resurrection, these words declaring the unexpected ones blessed will take on a new depth of meaning for the disciples.
Jesus' death will invert expectations of where God is found. To be betrayed by a follower, abandoned by friends, rejected by the crowd, and hanged in humiliation is pretty much as far opposite from what you'd expect a god to experience as you can get. But we know Jesus was there. That was his experience.
God isn't only where we expect to find God. Jesus' suffering death shows without a doubt that God is willing to be found in complete powerlessness. Jesus enters ridicule, failure, and death so that even when we find ourselves in all that mess, we would not find ourselves alone. No matter the depth of the struggle, we are not alone, Jesus has chosen to be there with us, and so, we are blessed.
This has a huge effect on our work as the church. We are another generation in the long line of disciples following Jesus. As I get to know you, I have been continually amazed by the faithfulness of this congregation in looking for where God is at work and being there. You pray for each other in joy and struggle. You open this building for many other organizations to use to bring healing. You welcome people, you feed people, and you reflect to people the great value God has placed on them.
Jesus' teaching, "blessed are they…" isn't just about trying to make people content with their current state of life, as if saying, "God is with you" will solve all problems or ought to be enough to resign people to the way things are. When Jesus declares these blessed, Jesus pulls back the curtain on the next act. God has something new coming.
Jesus preaches, ""Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. 5 "Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth, blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled."
Over and over, "bless are they… for they will…" God has a future in mind.
As we follow Jesus, we name people blessed by God's presence and we look forward with hope. We recognize God is with those who suffer just as much as God is with those in the midst of joy. It's even more important for us to name those who struggle as the blessed ones because we have to shout against the world's insistence that they cannot be blessed- and that they ought to be ignored or shut out or at least not allowed to affect our own better lives. Our call is to declare God's blessing- point out God at work- and to be doing God's work of building the kingdom. We work towards the end of all suffering. We strive for a world of justice and peace. We proclaim hope even at the bitter end.
It's this impossible and awesome call that makes me love being a pastor. I love this calling because I get to be in places God is blessing with God's being there. Sometimes that is in hard and sad and overwhelming situations.
I've walked through a congregation of emergency responders to kneel at the body of a man I had just shared communion with in the congregation of that morning's worshippers, and then gone on to hug his new widow.
I've placed a water filled shell in the hands of brand new parents so we could baptize their hour old son before he died.
Having hope gives me the power to really be present with those in the most awful of circumstances. Don't hear me wrong. I don't like that people suffer. I don't want that for anyone. But because I have hope, I don't have to pretend it doesn't happen just to be able to keep living. My heart and my eyes and my ears can be open to really hear you in your pain and I know that I am so very powerless to change things and make them all better and that will hurt and it will haunt me- but- I can still be there because I know this is not the final end. That a child should die is not what God wants. That people go hungry or hurt each other or are broken by illness or addiction is not what God wants. God will make things better.
I could not keep going there if I did not know God was there also. I could not keep doing this if I did not also believe that God's choice to show up was also a choice to do something. God does not abandon us, but will open a new future for us. God is in the process of building a new kingdom, pulling us forward to a new dawn, preparing the resurrection for all.
We declare that God is here now in the tears and the struggle and the shame- and that this moment is not the end.
"We are God's children now, what we will be has not been revealed." If now we are blessed, if now we are claimed, then the new thing God has coming can only be more wonderful and wholly good.
Revelation offers this vision of hope for us who wonder what could be beyond the joy and pain of this time: 16 They will hunger no more, and thirst no more; the sun will not strike them, nor any scorching heat; 17 for the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of the water of life, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.
It doesn't take being a pastor to be someone who notices God showing up among us and proclaiming hope in God's future. It's your job, too. You show up for people in a way that shows God showing up. You show up without judgment, without the power to change everything, but with hope that even in the most difficult of circumstances, God is there, and maybe now, but certainly later, God will fulfill our hopes, ease our burdens, fill our needs, and bring us into joy forever. You do that with your friends and family, coworkers and students. You do that as you greet and assist food pantry clients, pray for your pew neighbors, serve at funeral luncheons, and keep on working to solve problems that seem beyond our power to fix.
There's a lot of fear out there in the world. And a lot of things to fear. But we believe in a God who conquered death itself. It's easy to be overwhelmed by our powerlessness to effect positive change in the world. But even in his greatest powerlessness, Jesus achieved salvation for all. Maybe we don't get to see immediate results in our work for the kingdom, but we can still trust that God is moving us all forward into a good future.
We celebrate All Saints' Day today as a day of hope. We remember those who have died, we celebrate those whose lives are just beginning, and we look to God as the one who holds us all together for life now and in the future. Blessed are you, beloved of God, for you will see God restoring all things and your hope will be fulfilled.

As we prepare to commemorate the 500th Anniversary of the Protestant Reformation, I found myself preparing for you a sermon resembling more closely a lecture than I would typically preach. I won't be reading the slides, but hope they provide a bit more for you to think about and focus on.
"I pledge allegiance to the flag and to the republic for which it stands… one nation, under God."
(photo of kids and flag)
This oath sworn by school children around the country reflects a religious claim we hear in both our Isaiah and Matthew readings this morning. The nation is under God. The forces of this world- military, government, police, public institutions- are all below God in power. Their power comes from God alone, even though more often than not they wouldn't recognize the Divine as the source of their authority.
(God ->
People in Charge)
Today we'll explore this faith claim, that God is the one in charge, through our two Bible readings. Then we'll remember what Martin Luther wrote about how God works in this world to consider our Lutheran heritage. Finally, we'll ask what it means for our lives, lived as Christians, citizens of heaven and yet also citizens of the world.
(God= one in charge)
Isaiah offers a fascinating and bold claim of God's sovereign power. The people Isaiah is writing to and about are the people of God in exile. God's promised land has been conquered, God's promised line of kings has been broken, and God's chosen people are struggling to remain faithful when it seems that their God isn't powerful enough to have kept God's promises. Isaiah and other prophets have claimed God's power by declaring the people's suffering is a punishment from God, meant to bring them back into faithfulness.
(Isaiah's claim: no gods exist besides God, God can work through anyone to accomplish God's purposes)
The really big claim Isaiah makes is that God is working through a foreign ruler to free God's people from captivity and restore them to their kingdom.
Cyrus is the Persian ruler who will defeat the Babylonians and let the Israelites return home. Cyrus doesn't know God. He doesn't worship God. Yet Isaiah claims that it is God who has chosen him to fight for and free God's people. This shows God to be above all other powers. Isaiah declares there are no other gods – it's not Cyrus' god who makes Cyrus victorious and thereby saves God's people. It is the one true God who uses a foreigner to save God's people.
In the midst of God seeming to have been defeated, resulting in the defeat of God's people, rises a claim that God is the only power, choosing to punish and save through the workings of foreign political forces.
(art for the Matt text)
When we turn to the Gospel of Matthew, we find Jesus continuing to be challenged by the religious and political establishment. We're at the point in the gospel during which rejection and anger are rising, tipping us towards Jesus' arrest and crucifixion.
The Pharisees and Herodians have come to trap Jesus, angling to use his response to set the crowds or the political authorities against him. They ask him- should we have to pay taxes? Jesus pivots away from their trap, answering, "give to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's."
The currency of the empire is wrapped up in the world's focus on buying and selling, government and taxes. Yet above all is God's power. Again we hear a recognition that there are political powers unaware of God and yet somehow these same powers are under God's greater power. We will see Jesus crucified by the world's powers, guarded in death by their armed forces, and yet rise victorious and powerful over all. God's power is greater than all others.
(Martin Luther)
When we shift from the world of the scriptures to our own, we can look back at Christian tradition to see how others explained this claim that God is the greatest power, behind the powers governing our world.
Martin Luther and the reformers wrote about God's relationship to the government of their time, bringing together the faith claim that God's power and rule is supreme, the reality that there are many different powers in our world, and the role and place of the Christian.
Luther developed what we call the two kingdoms doctrine.
(two kingdoms slide)
This might be understood as two strategies through which God works to achieve God's purposes of creating faith and creating a world order that sustains the well-being of all. There are two spheres of rule, the spiritual realm which deals with matters of salvation and belief, for which bishops, pastors, and church workers are authorities, and the temporal, or civic, realm or more simply called the state, which deals with matters of peace, justice, and protection, for which kings, government officials, military, lawyers, judges, and police are authorities.
("The two kingdoms exist side by side,…)
The temporal realm is necessary only because there are forces of evil at work in the world. Sometimes the Bible and people of faith name these forces Satan or Devil. Additionally, we might simply recognize that even within us Christians, is both a saint and a sinner- both the Holy Spirit inspiring us to do good for our neighbor and our sinful desire to serve only ourselves, even to the point of taking advantage of our neighbor for our own gain.
(saint and sinner picture)
The civic realm, or state, with its workers, stops evil from acting. Laws are meant to curb behavior that would hurt others. It uses the threat of force to make people nicer to others than they otherwise would be.
Luther argues against a theocracy, or a Christian nation, because it would be impossible that all people within a nation would be what he calls truly Christian- someone who has completely expelled the sinner portion of themselves and would not have any need for an external force or law to keep themselves in check. True Christians have no need of law, because they do what is good for their neighbors at all times. However, they agree to live under the law for the sake of their neighbors so that they law would be supported and able to do its work of maintaining a society that is safe for all people.
(A true Christian wholly motivated by the Holy Spirit
1 in a million… doesn't need the law to do what's right)
(most of us do…)
Luther furthermore argues against a Christian nation in the way we might see people longing for one today. He was not for a nation that is based on a certain Christian understanding in which the government enforced not only civic safety but religious belief and compliance with that belief. Luther saw the horrible things that happen when rulers attempt to take on the work that belongs to the kingdom of God. In his time, princes declared their religious affiliation and decreed that all their citizens must believe as they do. Luther declares that faith can't be created through the law. Faith can only be created- and corrected- through the gospel, when the Holy Spirit works in people through the Word and Sacrament. Rulers are not to take on God's work of creating and directing belief. The work of the gospel doesn't belong to the authorities of the state, but to the church.
(A true Christian lives and labors on earth not for himself, .…)
God uses the state and rulers for God's purposes. That doesn't mean the state is self-aware of God's use. It means that the faithful see the value of the state within God's vision for the world. It also means that the faithful are called to support the state, for example, by paying taxes. (pause)
Luther's Two Kingdoms has been misunderstood to mean that people of faith should always obey their governments and should not affect the political systems under which they live. This had disastrous consequences in NAZI Germany as the church was coopted to support the regime.
(nazi photo)
Not all governments are good and used as God intends. Those in power do not always work for the well-being of all. Luther suggested that sometimes that will mean the Christian will have to suffer the consequences of making a stand in faith and endure that suffering with joy. In our system of government, we have greater opportunity to hold our political leaders to the goals God called them to accomplish: the protection of those who are in danger, the building up of the common good, and the establishment of laws for the development of peace and justice.
(A Christian asks…
There are times when I have heard people say there should be no politics in church. They want a separation of church and state. They don't want preachers using their power to influence votes. The root of the word politics is polis, which means city- where people live. Polis refers to daily life. Our faith should influence how we live and our desire to act so that others may live. Through Luther's Two Kingdoms, we see that Christians have a responsibility to engage in the polis in order that it might live up to God's purposes.
(Jesus frees Christians…))
The church is called to be a community of moral deliberation. We look at the issues of our time, the work of the present government, and bring to those issues the guidance of the Bible, the history of tradition, and the voices of those who are most affected by decisions being made. We follow the Bible's witness to God's priorities and focus especially on those voices that have been pushed aside or made powerless. We act : as the church institution itself providing for the well being of others, as the community of faith who call the government to pay attention to those who are most in need, and as citizens who are affecting the government through our votes, voice, and participation.
((Christians also exercise their calling …
another slide…
The Church has one foot in the spiritual realm and the other in the civic realm. As stewards of the gospel, we proclaim God's freeing grace that releases us from death and sin.
(Faith is active in love…)
We use the Word and Sacraments as our tools. As an institution within the civic realm, we work within the societal structures to ensure all people have their daily needs met. We use our material resources and communal voice as our tools. Here at Our Savior's we participate in both realms through sacramental worship, prayer, and Bible study on the one hand, and food pantry, social services, and advocacy on the other.
(Roman coin)
When Jesus holds that Roman coin, he asks, "whose image is this?" Jesus declares that it belongs to the one who image is stamped on it. You likewise bear an image. You have been formed in the image of God. You have been marked with the cross of Christ.
(baptized with cross/ash cross)
You belong to God. All that you do and all that you are is meant to be in imitation of Jesus. Jesus was about the work of bringing people into relationship with God, healing the sick, welcoming the shunned, and bringing life where there is death.
(…love of neighbor seeks not its.…) – quote over apple picture
Luther compares a Christian to an apple tree. The apple tree does not need to be commanded to produce apples, it simply produces apples as a result of what it is. Likewise, Christians work for the good of their neighbors and for all of creation because they reflect the love of the Creator for all that God has made.
Our faith claim that God is all powerful over our lives calls into question all of our allegiances. We may join our fellow citizens in celebrating and supporting our nation, but we never forget that we belong to God alone. We are not blind to the ease in which our political leaders can lose focus on their calling, and we must not falter in our efforts to call them to their task of protecting the most vulnerable among us. When we know that God is over all – working both through spiritual and civic realms, we can reclaim our voice. We have the call and right to speak both Gospel, God's saving love for all, and Law, God's intention that all have access to justice and peace.

Little Matthew joined the world 3 months ago now – 6 weeks early – surprising us all with his arrival and flying into the world with a fighting spirit, despite being only 4lbs and 14oz. Powering through almost every milestone to jail-break him from the hospital, his mom nicknamed him Mighty Matthew. And, after 18 days in the NICU he was home, before his due date had even approached.
Due to summer vacations, it took a further 2 months to get our session on the calendar with him, mom, dad, and big sister. But it was so worth it. This is one wanted, loved, and adored little boy. Welcome to the world Matthew!

One of my good friends recommended her and she has been a god send! Katie is so sweet and hilarious! I always look forward to going to see her! She makes me feel like "one of the girls" and I never feel rushed. She takes her time and does things right! I've showed her many pictures of what I want, and she nails it! She also will alter it to me, and what would look good on me! She is very flexible and willing to work with you! I text her randomly with questions regarding hair, products, really anything and she always responds back! Schedule your appointment TODAY! She fills up quick, but WELL worth the wait! I promise she won't disappoint! ❤
Katelyn is seriously the best! I always leave feeling in love with my hair! I have never been one bit disappointed! Not only that, but my hair doesn't fade in a few weeks...it lasts! She does amazing work! On top of that, I always look forward to our conversations! She is everything you want in a hair stylist!
Katelyn is hands down the sweetest, most genuine person you will ever meet, plus its a benefit I can talk to her about ANYTHING. Getting my hair done by her means I can just relax and enjoy my time. I have never felt rushed, I always feel like I am valued and just one of the girls. I will continue to follow Katelyn forever, because lets face it, she's just that freaking fabulous!
Katelyn always keeps me looking professional. And as a health care professional, appearance is something that patients can judge us on. Flexible hours and scheduling are also a plus. -Dewayne P.
Katelyn is amazing!! After being in Ohio for 4 years, I have finally found MY hairstylist and it was definitely worth the wait! I showed her pictures of what I wanted and she made it even better than the photo I showed her! I am already looking forward to my next appointment! :)
Katelyn is the best! I recently moved back to Columbus after spending two years in Nashville where I had the same stylist for the majority of that time. I tried two other stylists before finding Katelyn and she's the only one who has been able to achieve the blonde tone I've been longing for. I'm so happy to have found her!
I had never colored my hair before and had heard horror stories of bad colorist experiences when I first came to Katelyn. I told her what I wanted, She took the reigns and I loved the results! There have been several times when I wasn't able to get an open appointment and she worked with me to add one. I also really respect that she doesn't try to upsell me stuff I don't need. If I book a cut and color and she doesn't think I need the cut, she'll tell me. Her customer service really is above and beyond —
Katelyn did a fabulous job! I showed her a picture of a cut I liked and she without hesitation made it happen. She also gave me advice on products to use! I will definitely be returning!
I have been going to Katelyn for almost a year now and I have NEVER been disappointed! She always knows what I want and exceeds my expectations every time! I will never trust anyone with my hair cut and color as much as I trust Katelyn!
Katie is seriously the best! Whenever I bring in a picture, she matches it perfectly or gives me advice on what would look better for me. After moving from San Francisco, it took me almost 2 years to find someone like Katie. I cannot recommend her enough.
Katelyn does amazing work! I clicked through her profile and knew she would be able to do exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a shadow roots and someone to get rid of the brassy parts of my hair. She also runs awesome promotions like "testimonial coupon" every time I come in. I booked an appointment with her 3 weeks out because she's so amazing and fills up so quickly. She is worth the wait but got me in earlier on a cancelation. She is FABULOUS and does awesome work! Stop clicking through profiles on salon loft and go with the best.
I moved to Columbus about two years ago and would drive back to NE Ohio to get my hair done. I struggled finding a new hairdresser that I was confident in dying my blonde hair, until Katelyn. I am absolutely obsessed with my hair and all the compliments I keep receiving. Katelyn was also super nice and I look forward to coming back to her!
I love seeing Katelyn!! She is amazing at what she does and always makes me feel beautiful!!
Katelyn is a godsend!! I have been bottle dying my hair red for the past year and I needed a change so she gave me the courage to go blonde! She walked me through exactly what she was going to do to take care of my hair and what products to use to make sure my color was bright and vibrant. My hair is so much healthier and looks LONGER now after my haircut!! I am so glad to have found my new favorite hairstylist in Columbus.
Truly a blonde queen. I never feel like she is rushing to get my hair done. She takes her time and really listens to what you want. It's hard to find a stylist that can master blonde color consistently but she does it!
I have been with Katelyn for over a year and she has never disappointed when it comes to my hair. Her salon is always clean, she is always on time (even early) and is a joy to sit and watch work as she paints my hair. I will continue to come back and recommend her to anyone I know.
Katelyn helped me fix a bad balayage gone wrong and got me back to my natural brunette color without fail! Katelyn is great and I am very happy I went to her!!
Hands down the best. Is not only she is my beautician but also my therapist ;) Prefect cut every time!
She is hands down the best stylist and colorist I've ever had! It's so hard to find someone that understands exactly what you want and delivers the best service! She excellent at blonde and balayage!!
Katelyn does a wonderful job giving me the professional look I need for my occupation. She is flexible with scheduling and understanding of those with a busy schedule. I have never had a bad experience with her in my two plus years of her as my stylist. --Dewayne P.
Katelyn is AMAZING! One of the things no one mentions about the stresses of moving is how difficult it is to find a stylist you love in your new city. I bounced around to several different people until I found Katelyn. She's prompt, flexible, talented, and most of all—she really cares about YOU! She's also fun and easy to talk to, which never hurts when you're stuck in a salon chair for a while. ;-)
Katelyn. Is. A. Rockstar. I've been going to Katelyn for a couple of years and she always nails it with the color. I reccomend everyone I know to her, especially blondes because she's amazing with blonde hair. She also listens and takes direction while still adding her professional opinion.
Katelyn is the best!! She is the first hairstylist I have had since living in Columbus and I couldn't imagine going to anyone else. She always does exactly what I ask of her and makes it look even better than I imagined! If you want a hairstylist that you can trust and feel comfortable with, book with Katelyn!
Katelyn is absolutely amazing all the way around! We had to reschedule because of weather and she was very professional also LOVE my hair!! She is very knowledgeable about what she does and the products she uses, she is very easy to talk to while getting your hair done. I can finally say I will be sticking with a hair stylist!
Absolutely loved the cut Katelyn gave me. She's super nice and gives great hair advice. Will definitely continue going to her for my future hair services
I just moved from DC, where getting my hair done was a fortune and I was often frustrated by how little my hair stylist would listen to the shade and tone I wanted my hair. With Katelyn, she listens and does an amazing job! She ensures her customers are happy with the outcome and she provides advice on products and tips for all things beauty-related. So happy to have found Katelyn!
Katelyn does a great job! She listens carefully to what the customer wants and tries very hard to satisfy their expectations! She is friendly, and her prices are very reasonable. I will allow no one else to cut or color my hair!
I recently booked my second appointment with Katelyn. I am a brunette (with a LOT of hair) going lighter & shorter. She was so helpful and confident in taking on the task! Katelyn also filled me in on what products to use in helping with my process. Apparently blondes have more fun & I am looking forward to finding out :) ~Lauren L
Absolutely love Katelyn! She is the only person I trust to touch my hair! Always on time, up to date on trends polite and kind. Highly recommend!
I just booked my second appointment with Katelyn for balayage and cut! Not only is she personable and caring, she has the gift of making your vision come to life! She's just wonderful!
Had such a great experience with Katelyn, she did an amazing balayage for me and was able to get my dark hair to a beautiful caramel the first time without compromising the health of my hair. So talented!
I'm so glad I went to Katelyn at a friend's recommendation! She is on time, efficient, and always does a great job with my hair (not to mention, she's also super nice!).
I have seen Katelyn numerous times now and see never disappoints. She is always willing to do her best to give me what I am looking for. Katelyn is one of the best I have see;throughout years of having my hair done.
Katelyn is awesome! I'm so picky when it comes to my hair and its always so hard to find someone you trust. So happy that I found Katelyn. She is awesome and does an amazing job! Would definitely recommend her!
For years I have tried highlighting my darker brunette hair. I have paler skin with light eyes. Most every time I tried to lighten my hair just a little, it turned orange. I met a girl who had similar hair color as mine with the perfect highlights. I asked her where she went which is how I ended up with Kaitie. She definitely did not disappoint. She took so much time and care. She understood what I wanted and got me there. Color is definitely a skill she owns. I love my color and as I continue to evolve my style I know I'll stick with her!
About to book my second appointment with Katelyn! Moved back to the area and was in need of a new go to stylist and so happy I stumbled upon her! She is so helpful and full of advice and confidence. Even mentioned I could always contact her with any questions or color ideas. She's super sweet and listens to what you want. Highly reccomend!
Katelyn is the best!! After struggling to find a new hairstylist once I moved, I finally found Katelyn and won't go to anyone else! Katelyn is extremely talented and truly understands what her customers want. Not only is she skilled in what she does, but she is super personable and makes every visit enjoyable. I absolutely love the color and cut she gave me and would recommend everyone go to her!
I'm usually pretty picky with how I like my hair done, but Katelyn was perfect. She listened to what I wanted and defintely delivered. She's great with color and so patient (I have a lot of hair). I'll definitely be back!
I moved to Columbus (and away from my former hairdresser) about 6 months ago and then took a leap and let someone new cut my hair. Katelyn was super nice and made me feel really comfortable. She does an awesome job with layers (my hair is really thick). She also cuts one of my friends hair and she loves her too! I highly recommend seeing Katelyn
Katelyn did an amazing job on my hair! She throughly explained the process of my journey going lighter and was very helpful with keeping my locks healthy. I can't wait for our next session!
Katelyn was wonderful! She was quick to respond and worked with meto get me in within that same week. I was a new client and the cut was exactly what I wanted. Katelyn was welcoming and great to chat with. -Christine M-B
It's so hard finding a hair stylist like Katelyn. She does amazing work, an always gets my hair together, I'm looking forward to my next appointment!!!!!! ❤
Let me start off by saying, Katelyn is Amazing!! She is very friendly, and makes you feel so welcome in her loft. When I moved to Columbus, I couldn't find a stylist that knew my style, and what I was going for......but then Katelyn came along! Her knowledge and skill level in the hair industry blows me away!! She knew exactly what color and style to use on my hair- just by looking at my eye color and gave shape. This really stood out to me, because I never know what to do with my hair. As soon as I sat in her chair, I was so confident that I was in good hands. I just scheduled my second appointment with her, and I know there will be many more. I finally found my forever stylist!!!! :)
I loved my hair cut and color with Katelyn! Not only does it look great, it was done so quickly. She took time to explain products to me, was thorough and was creative on the cut! Can't wait to book my next appt!
Katie is absolutely amazing! I had a really bad experience when I was in high school and for the past 10 years I've hated to get my haircut. After letting Katie cut my hair, I love going to get it cut and trying new colors/styles, etc. thanks Katie!
Katelyn is absolutely wonderful! I have been in Columbus for almost 6 years and I had yet to find a hair stylist in Columbus that I loved until I went to Katelyn. She really listens to what you want, takes her time and goes the extra mile to make sure you love your hair. I would trust her with any major hair change - I can't recommend her enough!
I've struggled to find a stylist with the patience and attention to detail my hair requires (extremely dense with multiple textures). Other stylists seem to rush through coloring and I always went home dissatisfied. I started doing my own hair at home and royally screwed it up, so I went to Katie for help. I'm happy to say I've never had such a great experience at a salon! Katie is so thorough and precise and somehow knew exactly what I wanted/needed, despite my somewhat vague description. She is very passionate about hair and it definitely shows in her work. I'm so thankful I found her!
Katelyn was able to create exactly what I wanted! I was very pleased with the results. She was professional and on time and most importantly did a great job! I will certainly be back soon. Thanks Katelyn!
Katelyn is not only talented, she is also very personable. I love her ability to make my hair beautiful and make me smile at the same time! I always look forward to the times I get to spend with her. If you are looking for the best all around service you can receive, Katelyn is your girl.
She's great. Always a great cut. I went from once a month to twice a month b/c I'm addicted to my haircut now and dont want it to grow out. Like the Christmas Story, A++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Best girl to trust with your hair
I love Katelyn, she is my go-to-girl for all things hair related! She has been doing my hair for years, and she's the only one I trust to get it right every time. When I sit in her chair I'm confident that I will leave looking and feeling great. She's always been willing to try new things with my hair and is constantly researching new products and styles to make sure I leave with what I want. I get compliments on my hair every where I go, and I swear up and down to everyone that going to Katelyn has been one of the best choices I've made. She is a true professional dedicated to her craft and will do everything she possibly can to give you exactly what you want.
I can always trust Katie with whatever she wants to do with my hair! She does such an amazing job and I know I can always go to her for advice about taking care of my hair while also keeping up with trendy hairstyles. One thing I really like about Katie is that she really listens to what I want and takes the time to make things perfect. I have always left with beautiful hair after she has done it and she always makes me feel so special! :)

Since Frank Brogan's departure in September 2017, the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) searched for a new chancellor.
Daniel Greenstein was named the next chancellor in May 2018 after a nationwide search, and began his tenure on Sept. 4.
Greenstein earned bachelor's and master's degrees in history from the University of Pennsylvania. He also studied at the London School of Economics and earned a Ph.D. in social studies from Oxford University.
Greenstein's long list of experience in higher education includes holding a top administrative position in the University of California education system, as well as serving as a senior adviser for U.S. education programs at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation provides more than $125 million toward public education in grants and contracts annually.
In a PASSHE press release, Board of Governors Chairwoman Cynthia D. Shapira called the selection of Greenstein a "game changer that will move the State System to the forefront of public university systems in the United States."
Shapira continued, "Dan comes to us with an incredible level of knowledge and experience and the demonstrated temperament necessary to achieve great things. He will use all of that to help achieve excellence for our students and stakeholders, and — indeed — to write the template for 21st century public higher education in the nation."
In the release, Greenstein told PASSHE students, "Student success is more than just graduating with a degree; it means leaving one of our universities fully prepared with everything you need — the education, the skills and the ability to work collaboratively — to productively engage in the new economy and to effectively contribute to your communities.
He added, "And let me be crystal clear, I do mean all of our students; regardless of zip code or background, all must and all will have an opportunity to succeed."
Greenstein also emphasized the importance of success of the students for the Pennsylvania citizens.
"Ninety percent of our students are residents who stay here to live and work after they graduate, making our universities the engines that drive economic development and strengthen the very fabric of our society," he said.
Greenstein's appointment is only the first step in a complete PASSHE overhaul. In a recent press release, PASSHE announced it is trying to "align their academic programs with regional workforce needs...and achieve regional affordability."
Greenstein is schedule to visit Shippensburg University on Sept. 25.

SACRAMENTO – Senator Mike Morrell (R-Rancho Cucamonga) today issued the following statement in response to Governor Gavin Newsom's state budget proposal for 2019-20:
"The governor pledged in his inaugural address that his administration would be 'prudent with taxpayer dollars.' Yet from the outset, his first budget commits to new programs and ongoing spending that put future generations at risk of having to deal with more government debt, already pegged at $1.3 trillion.
"It forces Californians to buy health insurance or pay a penalty, just after the federal government provided relief from this mandate. Furthermore, the health care system the governor wants to pursue could cost as much as $400 billion. To put that in context, the entire amount of income tax collected from Californians last year was $95 billion and the total state general fund budget is less than half the cost of the governor's health care plan.
"Living in California is already unaffordable for too many – a key reason why for 15 consecutive years, more residents have moved out of California than moved into our state. Higher taxes would only add to this pressure.
"It is not 'prudent' if Democrat leaders in Sacramento also tell taxpayers they have no choice but to foot the bill for their socialistic priorities to increase government control over our lives."
California fast facts:
- California has the nation's highest income taxes. According to the nonpartisan Tax Foundation, California is ranked 49th overall in state business tax climate.
- California's statewide sales tax is highest in the country at 7.25 percent.
- Unfunded liabilities are estimated to be as high as $400 billion – more than twice the size of the state's general fund budget.
- Over 9,000 businesses have either left or declined to expand their operations California.
- For 13 years in a row, California has been named the worst state for business in a survey of 500 CEOs by Chief Executive Magazine.
Senator Mike Morrell represents the 23rd Senate District in the California Legislature, which includes portions of San Bernardino, Riverside, and Los Angeles counties. Follow him on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Blog & News
2018 NHIS Full-Year Early Release: Insurance Coverage Held Steady Overall, with Some Subgroup ChangesMay 15, 2019:
The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) released health insurance coverage estimates for 2018 from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) as part of the NHIS Early Release Program. These are the first available full-year coverage estimates for 2018 from a federal survey, with estimates available for the U.S. and 17 states.
Key Findings
Approximately 30.4 million persons of all ages, or 9.4%, were uninsured nationwide in 2018. This uninsured rate was statistically unchanged from 2017, as were the rates in the 17 states for which the NHIS provided 2018 estimates.[1] Uninsurance also held steady among most populations by age, sex, race/ethnicity, Marketplace type, state, state Medicaid expansion status, and region. There were, however, significant increases in uninsurance among adults age 45-64 (from 9.3% to 10.3%) who, the report noted, were the most likely group to be uninsured, and among nonelderly adults (age 18-64) with household incomes above 400% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL).
Public and Private Coverage
Like uninsurance, public coverage and private coverage held steady nationwide in 2018 at 36.7% and 62.3%, respectively. Public and private coverage were also largely stable in the 17 select NHIS states, with the exception of New York, where public coverage increased in 2018 from 38.9% to 43.6%, and Virginia, where public coverage increased from 31.8% to 38.4%. Public coverage also increased from 67.9% to 72.7% among children (age 0-17) with household incomes from 100% to 200% FPL. Private coverage decreased from 26.5% to 21.4% among non-elderly adults with incomes below 100% FPL.
Behind the Numbers
From 2017 to 2018, premiums for silver Marketplace plans increased an average of 32%, with bronze premiums rising 17% and gold premiums rising 18%.[2] Since 45-64 year-olds are subject to age rating both on and off the Marketplace, they face even higher premiums than average, while individuals above 400% FPL are ineligible for Marketplace subsidies and therefore face the entire cost of premium increases. With this in mind, increasing uninsurance among these two groups suggests that some were dropping coverage in response to rising premium costs in 2018. An increase in the rate of high-deductible health plan (HDHP) enrollment, which grew from 43.7% in 2017 to 45.8% in 2018 among the nonelderly (age 0-65) nationwide, provides additional evidence that premium increases played a role in 2018 coverage changes, as individuals may be responding to rising premium costs by shifting to coverage with higher deductibles.
About the Numbers
The above estimates provide a point-in-time measure of health insurance coverage, indicating the percent of persons with that type of coverage at the time of the interview. The 2018 estimates based on a sample of 72,762 persons from the civilian noninstitutionalized population, a decrease from the 2017 sample of 78,074 persons.

Tommy, 31, boasts plenty of experience having represented the Cook Islands at international level.
He enjoyed a lengthy spell at Glasgow and also masterminded Worcester's promotion from National League One a year ago.
The New Zealand-born player's chances were restricted in the Premiership last season with the Warriors preferring James Brown in the No 10 shirt.
But Tommy, who has joined on a two-year deal, still made 15 league appearances for the Sixways outfit and Hill believes he will fit in straight away when he arrives at the club on July 1.
Hill said: "I like the way Tommy plays, he is like a free spirit.
"I don't think he was suited to the way Worcester played last season. He prefers not to stick to a rigid game plan and enjoys freedom to play what he sees. This philosophy and skill will fit in exactly with the Bristol playing philosophy.
"He wants to play for two more years, he has plenty of experience and knows the game inside out. Tommy wants to play at Bristol and enjoy his rugby."

TOP:Missguided // SKIRT:Missguided // SHOES:Nude Footwear // BAG:Ena Pelly // WATCH: Daniel Wellington
I know how hard it is to find clothes for partying and going out every weekend – especially when you don't have much cash to spare or you're in the 21st season and struggling to find a new outfit for every weekend!
I've figured out the best way to solve this problem – Missguided!!
Honestly, this is my go-to for party outfits at the moment. I think it's perfect for stocking up on a range of cropped tops that range from $15 to $30 and skirts ranging from $20 to $50. The top and skirt have cost me a total of $50! There's such a variety on Missguided that I can make many different outfits just from buying a couple of pieces.
The clutch is also a beautiful addition and guess what?! It's on sale!…

- JCPenney CEO Jill Soltau said during a call with investors on Thursday that resolving the retailer's high inventory levels was one of her most immediate priorities.
- The department store reported its third-quarter earnings results on Thursday. Inventory levels were down 5.4% versus the same time the year before.
- On a recent visit to a JCPenney store in New York, we were overwhelmed by the massive amount of inventory on display.
In a call with investors on Thursday morning, JCPenney's new CEO, Jill Soltau, was asked by an analyst what she felt should be improved in its stores based on her early experiences.
Soltau, who was appointed to the position just over a month ago, was reticent to make any solid commitments just yet, save one: inventory management.
"I do see us as over assorted, and certainly we have had high inventory levels," she said.
Reducing inventory levels is now front and center of Soltau's strategy for the future. On Thursday, the retailer reported that inventory levels at the end of the third quarter were $3.22 billion, down 5.4% versus this time last year. Same-store sales numbers were also down 5.4%.
"In spite of our overall sales results, I am encouraged by the recent underlying trends in key businesses such as women's apparel, active, special sizes and fine jewelry. We are making progress and taking the necessary steps to right-size our inventory positions to better support the brands and categories that are demonstrating profitable sales growth," Soltau said in a press release on Thursday.
During a visit to one of JCPenney's New York stores in May, Business Insider was overwhelmed by the amount of inventory on display. Each department was brimming with racks of clothing, swimwear, toys, and accessories that were so tightly packed together that it made it impossible for any brand to really stand out.
Read more: We visited JCPenney a day after its CEO resigned abruptly and were overwhelmed by what we found
These sentiments have been echoed by analysts, who say its bloated and confusing assortment is turning off shoppers.
"Clothing at JCPenney has become a hotchpotch of randomness brought about by a constantly shifting view of who the chain should target," Neil Saunders, managing director of GlobalData Retail, wrote in a note to clients on Thursday. "This has left customers both confused and unimpressed. Satisfaction scores for apparel shopping have plummeted over recent years and customers have defected as a result."
And now, according to Saunders, some of JCPenney's better brands are being lost in the mayhem.
"In our view, Peyton and Parker is nicely designed and curated, but the effect is lost in most stores and on JCPenney's website where the label gets completely drowned in a sea of merchandise and general clutter," Saunders wrote.

Sunspear Rebirth Signet
|Sunspear Rebirth Signet
Full: Resurrect target dead party member at your location with full Health and 10% Energy for each Sunspear rank you have attained. This signet can only be used once per mission unless recharged by a morale boost.
Concise: Resurrect target dead party member at your location (full Health and 10% Energy for each Sunspear rank you have attained). This signet only recharges when you gain a morale boost.
Acquisition[edit | edit source]
Acquired from Runduk in the Sunspear Great Hall after reaching a sufficient Sunspear rank. Elonian characters must reach the rank of Sunspear Sergeant, while foreign characters must reach the rank of First Spear.
Notes[edit | edit source]
- This Sunspear skill can only be used in PvE, and is unusable by heroes.
- Although the skill description says "per mission", it also works in an explorable area.
- With Sunspear rank 3 or above it will provide more energy than a Resurrection Signet.
- The "at your location" part of the skill description is ambiguous:
- The target will be resurrected underneath you when the skill has been completed.
- This skill has normal range.

THE GALWAY Arts Centre's visual arts programme is ending the year on a double-high with presentations of the annual group print show Impressions - at 47 Dominick Street - and a superb solo show, Irish Etchings, by renowned English artist Norman Ackroyd at the Galway City Museum.
Galway artists Leonie King and Siobhan Piercy organised the first Impressions show 20 years ago and since then the biennial show has grown to become a major event in the calendar of fine art printmaking. It remains the longest running national open submission print exhibition in this country
This year's Impressions has been curated by the director of Bonham's Auctioneers Print Department, Robert Kennan, who travelled from London to make his selection of 100 pictures from some 340 submitted.
A broad variety of printmaking works is represented including etchings, woodcuts, lithographs, and screenprints and there are many familiar names with fine works in the show, like Declan Holloway, David Lilburn, Marja Van Kampen, Leonie King, and Jennifer Cunningham.
A number of prizes were awarded to works in the exhibition, the winning artists being Martina Cleary, Sue Cunliffe, Jill McKeown, Ruth McGear, Lelia Pedersen, and Kathleen Furey.
It all adds up to a bumper visual feast and is well worth a visit; the show continues until January 17.
You should also, really, really, find the time to visit the city museum to see Norman Ackroyd's marvellous new exhibition of Irish etchings. Long regarded as one of the foremost print-makers in these islands, Ackroyd has a particular interest in the coastal landscape and seascapes of the western seaboard and has been a frequent visitor to Ireland over the years.
His monochrome prints capture the shifting interplay of land and water, rain and sea, light and shadow with incredible skill and finesse and shapes them into arresting, dramatic compositions. This exhibition also runs until January 17, and deserves to be seen by a wide audience.
As a footnote, we might also add that both Ackroyd's prints and those in Impressions provide the opportunity of buying quality artwork at reasonable prices - something to keep in mind for all you Christmas shoppers!

Jamming…In Daily Inspiration, Motivational Speaking, Random Conversation, Thoughts on April 13, 2014 at 3:45 pm
So I went back. I live those days just in a different sense. Waking up dancing and constantly spewing gratitude to the universe like I know him or her. I put my middle finger up to a steady job, fake friends, and people who want to play small.. I'm just jamming… Creating life like a creator but they say that's blasphemy lol.. Taking my smiles on the road like there is a suitcase big enough to carry them.. Spreading energy all over the land like a salt truck… I'm just jamming.. Offending miserable people cause I'm just jamming… They told me the music is too loud but it's getting turned up.. We jamming… The stench of success like your neighborhood skunk lol… You can't stop this dance, 'cause the music plays naturally from within.. All real no substitute 'cause we pre- Monsanto.. OK I had enough.. I'm jamming.. (excerpt "Jun E Musing")
They Asked…In Daily Inspiration, Motivational Speaking, Thoughts on April 8, 2014 at 3:15 pm
They asked me what inspires me… Splashes of light.. Maybe it was that one Mexican night.. Maybe it was being within a inch of my life thrice. Maybe it was the one pair of pants… hmmm.. Lets see what picture I can paint.. Picture flying toasters going across the room, only to land in my mother's face… A boy sitting in the back of a police car afraid to look up.. Hurricanes and neighbors telling you your moms died.. Skipping up alleys and singing cause i don't think they will shoot a young boy. Or maybe it's his deep breath running through the alley as the police chased Lesroy… hmmm.. Walking to the store and watching dead men get dragged up the street… Take your pic/pick… Fueled by all who are not suppose to be here… Fueled by being a brown wealthy boy who don't entertain like the rest… Fueled by those who judge and name call cause they don't like my fragrance of success. Maybe they don't understand… You have no idea what it took for me to get this cologne… I'm happy I don't have to say in each line how much I believe in God…. I just create like God… Live as free as a God… No need to use buzzwords intertwined with empty thoughts… I give like a God. Talk like a God and if that mother fucker ever walked…. This is just a glimpse… Paradise

Playing to WinIn Daily Inspiration on February 27, 2014 at 2:20 am
I must be out my mind they said… As John Hope's voice stimulates the most creative part of this brain.. Yea give me a second to unwind as I vibe to these drums.. Hope… Hope… My mother told me to hope for the best.. So since I'm hard headed I created it instead. When best wasn't good enough, I threw it up and opted for Greatest… Speaking things into existence and having fun molding my world like clay.. Living, looking back and making the dots connect in that order. BINGO! And I WIN.. Rolling the dice and passing GO everyday collecting it all. Oh my board doesn't have a go to jail square.. lol.. I thought you knew I created this game to WIN…
The Start…..In Business, Daily Inspiration, Motivational Speaking, Thoughts on October 16, 2013 at 5:39 pm
The start.. Like goo goo ga ga… Like da da or ma ma.. The start… The start like the first time you fell and realized someone was looking. Then, you burst out in an even louder cry… The start.. The start like the pain associated with the growth of your first tooth… Damn I wonder why we now run away from pain… The start when little things made you happy.. Like your favorite toy you created… Like the happiness you create with a single smile and a room of adults sighed. Now you walk in and smile at adults only to see the misery in their eyes….. I wondered what changed? The start like when a pinky held the world of promises together…. Now promises are expected to be broken. What changed? The start when challenges were learning the ABC song and counting to 10… The start when people held you, praised you, and loved you for accomplishments. Now they silently hold grudges against you for wanting and getting more. Dam I'm happy they didn't get mad when we walked before scheduled. The start… Back to the start. Take me! Take me!
