When Life Gets Busy...cry to yo Mama

Life is always busy for everyone. I used to complain that I didn't have enough time to get things done. That was until a great professor of mine used to correct me that everyone has enough time. God was perfect in giving us 24 hours in a day. We each get 24 hours a day, so saying that we don't have enough time isn't accurate. It would be a matter of prioritizing.

Anyway, I've began working towards obtaining my Master's of Divinity (MDiv), something I've really wanted to do since I was 16. Cyndi is in the process of finishing her MBA. As a matter of fact she is writing her Master's Thesis paper and when its done, she will be done!! Plus we have a very active 7 month old.

Since Cyndi is trying to finish this paper, we've decided that Micaiah and I have to get out of the house, out of the city, and out of the state, so that way she can concentrate and just get it done. So, Micaiah and I are taking a week of vacation (for him because I will be studying all week) and going to Nay Nay and Pops house (my parents). I'm glad that my parents are close enough that we can do this and my wife is going to have no distractions...PRAY for her! :)

Quick Vent About One of My Favorite Shows


I am a huge fan of CBS' Big Brother. Have been since season 1. I honestly have even toyed with the idea of trying out for the show, but haven't really gotten the guts to do so.

With every season, comes a new cast of personalities, drama, competition and whatever Big Brother decides to throw in there.

Well, the last few nights of Big Brother have been full of drama and have really irritated me! I wish people would realize this is a game. A GAME!!!! Not life or death, not something extremely serious. A GAME. It truly shows poor character if you refuse to abide by the rules THAT YOU SIGNED UP FOR AND AGREED TOO...

Furthermore, I totally agree with the Producer's decision to boot Chima out. I hate to say this but she should have counted herself lucky and privileged to be chosen out of millions to play this game.

Okay, that its...can't wait to see who is evicted on Thursday and see what Big Brother has for us next.

Welcome to the World Charlotte Grace Moschella

We've been waiting 9 months and finally she is here! Our friends Mark & Courtney Moschella welcomed Charlotte Grace to the world yesterday. Mommy and Baby are doing great. Charlotte entered in at 7lbs 8oz (really making me realize Micaiah was a BIG BOY!!). Dad and Big Sister, Cassidy, are overjoyed that the wait is over. But, here come the long nights Dad and Sis!
Here are some photos of Charlotte and Mommy.

Be sure to leave comments to Congratulate the happy family!

5 Things You Should Be Doing For The Church (part 2)

#2. Praying for the Leadership God Has Put in Place

I think many times people get to pray for the pastor's of their church and the ministry leaders. God has placed them in that position with that authority for a particular reason and its essential to cover them in your prayers.

Many times people get frustrated and ticked off at the decisions leaders make for the church, but instead of getting ticked off, you should be praying for them. Obviously they are making a decision for a reason. So what if they think that switching to contemporary style of worship will improve the ability to reach more people. So what if there is no longer your Grandma's organ and drums are now in the Sanctuary (guess what there were drums in the Bible and I haven't found a single mention of an organ yet). God presents his vision for the church through the Sr. Pastor and unless that Sr. Pastor is living against God's Word, your job is to follow that vision. Now, if God has given you clear vision on how the church should be ran...GO START ANOTHER CHURCH. But I promise you if you can't be a follower, you can NEVER be a LEADER!
