Twelfth Night

I could condemn it as an improbable fiction.”

all I have is emptiness
that comes from being free
What could have been love
will never be”

Guys…
I know that emptiness…
its echo…
don’t build a house here…
the story ain’t done…

Happy 🎶 The Turnaround

especially those early records… man, I really enjoy those…

Seems like most folks go straight to the radio hits…
and I get it… they’re hits for a reason… they’re great songs… I like ‘em too…

…but honestly…
it’s the lesser-known ones that hit me the hardest…
the ones tucked away a little…
those are the ones I keep comin’ back to…

Here’s two of ’em…

Happy 🎵
Happy 2oO3

Hidden Gems from the B-Side — Matthew West (Week 24)

Something to Say… 🎶 Out of My Hands

Hey yall… Happy Sunday…
more from Matthew West today…

Back in 2oO7…
while working on Something to Say…

Matthew literally had nothing to say…

Doctors found a polyp on his vocal cord—
it hemorrhaged…

surgery… right in the middle of the record…

and for a while—
he didn’t know if he’d ever sing again…
let alone finish it.

After the surgery…
he couldn’t talk for months…
couldn’t sing…

but he couldn’t be silenced.

He came back… strong—
and he’s still going today…
stronger than ever.

I’ve got two great ones for you this day…

🎶 Something to Say + Intro (Something to Say — 2oO8)

🎶 Out of My Hands (Happy — 2oO3)

Also… he’s written many books…
available on Amazon if you ever want to check them out.

I’ve also included a really cool bonus video…
of Matthew meeting some fans at Walmart late one night…

he bought them all copies of his record…
and performed a few songs for them—

right there in Walmart lol 😄

So he lost his voice…
but not his song.

hope yall enjoy—
and thanks for listening… always.

My Pastor Walks 9 Miles… So They Don’t Walk Alone ✝️

To and from his church—every day.

I met a man about a year ago…

He’s become a great friend to me.
Not just a friend now…
he’s also my Pastor.

His name is Pastor Bogere—
and he leads Walusubi United Church of Jesus Christ
in Mukono, Uganda.

I’m a member there as well…

And I can tell you this—

he’s the real deal.

We talk every day…

He checks on me…
prays for me…
sends me messages and sermons…

Even with everything he carries—
he still makes time for people.

That tells you everything.

But here’s what’s on his shoulders…

There are a lot of children in his community with nothing—
no parents…
no support…
no one to care for them…

So he stepped in.

Him and his wife already have two children of their own…

…but they’ve taken in more.

Children with nowhere to go.

Now he’s not just a pastor—
he’s a father to them too.

And here’s something that really hit me…

His church is about 9 miles from his home…

And he walks.

Every day…

there and back.

No transportation—

just faith… and commitment.

And it doesn’t stop there…

The church is growing…

The need is growing…

And he’s started building something bigger—
a Christian school and safe place for these kids.

Right now…

there are 10 children depending on him.

The Reality

It costs about $400/month
to keep everything going.

Food
School
Shelter
Basic care

That’s it…

No luxury…
just survival… and love.

That’s about $13 a day
to keep these kids fed, safe, and learning.

One of the Kids

Her name is Jovita Bulungi.

She lost both of her parents in 2019…

Now she’s in Primary 3 (about 3rd grade)
and leads the children’s choir.

She’s strong… wise… and full of light.

Your support helps write more stories like hers.

Why I’m Sharing This

Because I see it firsthand…

This isn’t something I read about—
it’s something I know.

This is a man
living it.
Every day.

I know people can be cautious when it comes to giving online—
and rightfully so.

That’s why I’ve taken time to build a real relationship with him…
we talk every day…
and I personally support this ministry.

This is real.

I’ve been supporting him monthly…
but he needs more than just me.
That’s why I’m sharing this.

If You Feel Led

If you… or your church…
would like to support this ministry—

even a little goes a long way.

$40 → feeds 3 children for a week
$100 → covers school needs
$400 → sustains everything for a month

for others.

Hot Browns & Holy Ground

What is your favorite restaurant?

An Atlanta Chick-fil-A Story…

Growing up in Atlanta… if word got out that I answered this prompt with anything other than Chick-fil-A… I’d probably get ostracized, kicked out of church, and have my house egged in the night by a pastor dressed like a ninja…

So yeah… let’s keep the chicken-lovin’ Bible Belt Army happy-happy, as Phil from Duck Dynasty would say…

Seriously though… it’s a freakin’ amazin’ place for fast eats.
Chick-fil-A was born here in Atlanta… started by Truett Cathy… a legend in these parts. A great Christian man… a man who really cared about his employees and his customers… he built his business on biblical principles… a man who was always closed on Sunday.

I’ve even got a personal story tied to him.

My ex-girlfriend’s grandmother owned and ran a newspaper here in Atlanta for many years called The Southside Insider. She was friends with Mr. Cathy… and he actually sold her the building for that newspaper for $1. I always thought that was pretty cool.

I never got to meet him… I almost did. Missed him a few times in passing… but I’ve been blessed to hear many stories about him.

So from its humble beginnings here in my city… Chick-fil-A is now everywhere. But it’s different here in Atlanta. Different than anywhere else.

Here… we’ve got the Dwarf Houses and Truett’s Grill.

If yall can fit through the door… then by all means… come on in and have a seat 😎

These places aren’t just fast food joints… they feel like actual restaurants. You can sit down… be waited on… and get menu items folks in other places have probably never even heard of.

One of them is found only at the Dwarf Houses and Truett’s Grill…

Ladies and gentlemen… I present to you… The Hot Brown.

Man…

Let me describe this thing!

It’s like a casserole-style dish with white meat chicken in a rich cream-style gravy like thick sauce… but it’s not a gravy, really, I don’t think… and it’s covered in melted cheddar… topped with strips of bacon… and served with toast.

You’re just gonna have to trust me on this one.

I wouldn’t lie to you.
my taste buds are elite.

I wish I had one right now.

And their sweet iced tea? elite too.

When I’m not goin’ with the Hot Brown… my next favorite is the spicy chicken sandwich with pepper jack and waffle fries. The mac ’n’ cheese is worth fightin’ for… and the cheesecake is straight-up badass.

So if you’re ever in the Atlanta area… now you know what you need to do.

I might just see you there.

Lunch is on me.

And in me.

Bawk! 🐔…

I Know You’re There 🎵 Nothing Else
History (2oO5)

Well, I think I’m overthinking this whole thing… About believing… in something I cannot see
‘Cause when I think about it
I think there’s no doubt about it
I do it every single day
Well, it’s just like the air
No one knows where it comes or where it goes
But when I breathe in I believe again and again

And if they say there’s no such thing
As Heaven or a God who waits for me
I just point to the air
And I know You’re there.

Hope yall enjoy the music and the message and have a blessed Sunday…
