‘I Feel the Presence of The Lord’  

"I Feel The Presence of The Lord" is a personal collection of devotions intended to encourage the reader to seek and see the Lord in every aspect of their life.
The enemy of our souls would have us subscribe to the mentality of being endlessly busy, and therefore it being excusable to relegate God to a Sunday morning church service, if that. Thus, many in our churches today are powerless Christians and/or Christians in whom faith and fellowship with God is sorely wanting.
I Feel The Presence of The Lord is not just a book to be read as part of our daily devotions. It is a collection of thoughts and instructions to inspire the reader to meditate upon the Lord and His Word.

Blacks Today Complain But What Have They Contributed?

The NFL “dirty diaper babies” continue to claim America is oppressive nation, where blacks are mistreated by police and who haven’t the advantages of whites. The majority of blacks today in high profile positions use their perch to foment acrimony. But what have they done to make a tangible difference in the lives of the people they incite to anger and resentment?

During a period of time when blacks truly were disenfranchised their accomplishments and contributions to America were unprecedented. Today, when blacks like the NFL dirty diaper babies, Oprah Winfrey, Spike Lee, Al Sharpton, Eric Holder, the Obamas, et al, enjoy an America the first generation, post-slavery blacks could not have dreamed of, their chief contributions are complaints and discord. Ergo, the question that begs an answer is what kind of legacy will these Erebusic ner’er-do-wells leave for future generations?

Brilliant Americans of color who actually knew the pain of discrimination left all of America a legacy of accomplishment and invention.

Daniel Hale Williams, was a black surgeon who performed the first successful open heart surgery? He was the founder of Provident Hospital in Chicago in 1891. He was also the only black charter member of the American College of Surgeons.

History is replete with the legacies of black men like Norbert Rillieux, who was born in 1806. He was an inventor and engineer whose patented inventions that revolutionized the sugar-refining industry.

Only the constraints of space limit my enumerating the legacy of the “houses that our fathers built,” as Jung put it.

But today the legacy of those houses has “fallen into shambles.” Today, rather than seeing a careful enumeration and inclusion of these great Americans into the history of America, we see many blacks contributing to the erosion of their own well-being, which contributes to the erosion of the overall well-being of America.

The question that begs an answer is whether blacks in America will leave a fruitful, positive, legacy for future generations of Americans? Or will they leave a legacy of self-segregation, rap/gangster wars, abortion, single-parent homes, blame, animus, and resentment?

Will their legacy for tomorrow be that of undereducated children with dreams of athletic endeavor as a means of accomplishment or will it be that of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and Major Robert Lawrence Jr.?

Or will it be that of Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Sheila Jackson Lee and the Obamas – who embody all of the most reprehensible qualities heretofore attributed to blacks?
