It doesn't matter, conversation, understanding and listening is the beginning to a relationship with those we come in contact with on a daily basis. Once we achieve those goals then we can grow.Kenyon Callahanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05923832640050298556noreply@blogger.comBlogger301100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-857693252248848935.post-43429777827534318682011-08-02T11:23:00.000-07:002011-08-02T11:23:16.879-07:00

A friend of mine were discussing how when we are young we are idealistic and we are always fighting for justice but once we gain something in this life, like property or anything of value we all of a sudden become stingy and greedy. We develop this them versus us mentality. I thought about that discussion and I came to the realization that once we start to accumulate some sort of income or wealth

Today is the 47th anniversary of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I have a dream speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial (August 28, 1963.) I am not going to print the "I Have a Dream" speech. My personal favorite speech of Dr. King is the "How Long, Not Long" speech. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Our God Is Marching On! March 25, 1965. Montgomery, Ala. My dear and abiding

When we are little children we have dreams that one day we will be or do something great. Some where along the line of adolescences and our teen years we lose sight of our dream and we settle for something less. God gives us our dreams and it is up to us to walk it out. Our dreams will stretch, challenge, frustrate and inspire us. If you want whale size dreams, we have to go deep and work hard to

This last week I learned a few things about myself and those who I affiliate myself with. In life we are being tested on doing the popular thing versus doing the right thing. I had to make a choice this week to do the right thing and people in my life are a bit disappointed. What I discovered from this incident (in which I will not speak of) is that I must stand for what is right. This culture in

The past six months that I have been back in America has been one of profound loss. A little more than a month ago my grandmother passed away after months of her heart giving out. I was able to spend the last three months of her life with her every night from 11 p.m. until about 8 a.m. in the morning. During that time I was able to relive some of my childhood, see my grandmother raised me and she

I thought this would be a bit inspirational. If we would apply this to our everyday lives, just imagine how far we would be in life. Promise yourself- 1. To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. 2. To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet. 3. To make all your friends feel that there is something in them. 4. To look at the sunny side of everything and

I have been having the hardest time with blogging. I just don't have much to talk about. I don't know if it is just because nothing interest me or just the things that we find interesting as a society is just mundane. I haven't blogged at all this year. I have been in Asia for almost two years and I feel as if I have not done anything of importance with my life. I know that this should be a time

What I find amazing about this time of the year is how we get caught up in the commercialization of the holiday season. During these hard times I began to realize how this is the best time to get back to the basics of what this season really is about. Instead of buying gifts why don't you just bake something like cookies or cakes and pies. If you are not a baker you can do something nice like cut

I am not going to sit around and talk about how long it's been since my previous blog because basically the reason why I haven't done it is because I just didn't feel like it. So that is basically it no excuses just didn't have nothing really to talk about.I will discuss the McCain-Obama debate which I personally saw as a draw between both candidates.

Well it has been a while and so much has happened in the past couple of months since my last blog. I think I got bored with the whole process of blogging, then out of the blue I was just typing in some information into the Yahoo! search engine and low and behold my blog pops up. So I figured I can do this at least a couple of times a month but anytime you do something and you it becomes a

I was talking to a friend the other day and we got on the subject of love and how it is hard to say I love you because of past pain and hurt. During the conversation I realized that people who have a hard time expressing love also have a hard time with issues of trust. A lot of times we continue to look to the past to control our present and to dictate our future. When we do that I believe that

In the forty years since the assassination of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I spent my April 4Th (which for me was really April 5Th because I am in Korea) in solitude. I spent my time alone reflecting on the life and legacy of a man who dedicated his life to the meliorate of society. Dr. King struggle on the surface would look like a struggle for the equal rights of the Black American but

I recently saw the ignominious sermon of Reverend (Rev.) Jeremiah Wright. Living in South Korea I am pretty much out of the loop as to what is going on with our political process in America. I do find this both beneficial and detrimental; It is beneficial because I feel like I am not being brain washed by the media but it is also a detriment because I have to go dissect what is fact and what is

I was reading some blog a while ago and the individual who will remain nameless was discussing how they are tired of being hurt by individuals. This person went on to say that they would not trust another person again because of this hurt and betrayal. I started thinking to myself how many times I felt the same way this individual felt when people are constantly hurting me or you or whomever.

As I watch the election from the other side of the world, I personally cannot believe how so many people have begun to take this so personally. I have watched the media play favorites and the people follow like mindless sheep.

February is the Black History Month in America... Most people wonder why Black History gets the shortest month of the year well after much research I found the answer. Fredrick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln's birthdays are both in the month of February it was a way to honor to great Americans for there serve to the cause of equal right whatever the reason, so that is why we have ths shortest month

In the almost 40 years since the death of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and on this day in America in which we celebrate the birth of one of the greatest Americans in the history of our nation, I come disheartened and some what disenchanted with the American public. We have seen many great strides in America since the death of Dr. King but reading and listening to the commentaries on the two

I am learning many things about the Korean culture that I guess should not shock me. Over this past weekend and friend of mine and I went to a women's shelter in the city of Daegu to donate supplies. Now let me give you a little background on Daegu. Daegu is a city of about 3 million people, it also is the home of three United States military bases, Camp Walker being one of them. One thing that

Okay I will admit that I was on the www.tvguide.com site and I saw their story on Britney Spears being in the mental ward.

As we close out 2007 I began to reflect on how far I have come in the course of the last year. Like most I look at all the things that I have lost and gain, what I realized is that I cannot look to the past but I need to focus on the future and my season of new beginnings. Now what is a season of new beginnings and how long does it last? Well a season can be as long or as short as it takes for us

One day a man saw an old lady, stranded on the side of the road, but even in the dim light of day, he could see she needed help. So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out. His Pontiac was still sputtering when he approached her. Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so. Was he going to hurt her? He didn't look safe; he looked
