Matthew 9:38. I got a lightbulb. It's HIS harvest! He wants us to go and reap because the harvest belongs to HIM and not to us! The harvest is just to show the greatness and the majesty of the Lord of the Harvest.

Check out this article about spam art You gotta be real creative to make art out of ads for wrinkle cream, get rich quick scams and viagra. Oh and let us not forget the many exiles from Nigeria who want to offer us a large sum of money? Those guys are the worst but I know too many great people who are Nigerian to let them taint my image.

Speaking of great people who are Nigerian: Shout outs to Love, Kemi, Mr. Emeneke my 4th grade teacher, Stephanie at church, Fela Kuti R.I.P., and Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo letting London and the whole world know what an awesome God we serve.

What happens when our dreams come true? We move on to new dreams.
To be human is to dream. People who stop dreaming stop being human.
When there is no more hope or wish for a better day there are eventually no more days. Life becomes unreal. THat is why we must dream.

I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal." I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slaveowners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today.-Martin Luther King Jr.

This was part of my sermon two Sundays ago on our dreams as a church.
Here is a thought: Not to say that Martin Luther King Jr's dream is fully realized but what happens when our dreams come true?

So I have not had a decent phone connection/internet connection for two weeks. I guess I have to make it up with way more blogs than I usually post.

No I will be conservative but to all my friends out there it's catching up time.
