The Undercard: Chruch Folks vs. Christians

So all the the businessmen and the leaders of the area went to Reverend Sam's house and demanded, "Look, you're getting up there in age and all of your sons are off da chain.  Ain't no way they can guide us to do anything.  So we need you to give us a king like the rest of the countries got."

Sam was blown that they even had the heart to ask for a king.  Later on, he prayed to God about the situation.  The Lord said to Sam, "Listen to everything they told you, 'cause they don't have no beef with you, they're just not cool with Me being their leader.  They've been like this since I got 'em out of slavery." - 1 Samuel 8:4-8, Jones Version

Job Qualifications

Years before I decided to take my talents to Blogspot and create a ministry, I composed and performed a few songs expressing my indirect but powerful alliance with Satan.  One record in called Devil Dance, was a fictional (based on true events) depiction of me assuming there was long term value in this demonic relationship through substance abuse and the manipulation of women.  Like most of today's secular music, that work screamed devil worship without actually saying the words I worship the devil.  But at the time I did...and I was so proud of the gross unity, I recorded it for others to hear.  Even though I was torturing my spirit and killing my body and soul, I was unknowingly qualifying myself for a great work as a literal artist for the Lord.

It Ain't That Serious

...and the record books crack open once again as the City of Richmond continues to push towards experiencing a '96 throwback.  So while we crowded VCUs campus, draped with our hooded sweatshirts, our bags of Skittles, and cool, crisp iced tea; it appears that the hoodlums 'round here called a conference and decided to have a wonderful April.  I think the slogan for their meeting was While the Feelings Are Away, Let the Thugs Play.  And play they did...to the tune of 31 shootings and 5 murders.  This doesn't include a week with 5 killings in Chesterfield and a police officer shooting a man who was "threatening" in Henrico County.  Nope, none of that made our news feeds because we Cap City folk are used to it. And to be truthful, for most of us it ain't that serious.
