Day One
This month I will be going on tour. Yes indeed- I will be going to 10 different churches this month in search of a new church home. In my attempt to get closer to the most high I have come to the conclusion that not having a place to worship, fellowship or what I call "recharge" will contribute to me falling off the boat.
A couple of weeks back our Pastor announced that he was relocating to Arizona sometime in December. He is leaving the flock in good hands. Members of our church is merging with another local church. I am not sure if I am feeling this idea however I will include that church on my tour.
My wife will not be touring with me on this journey. She says after being at a church for 6 years one tend to get comfortable and grow a custom to doing things a certain way. She also states that she loves her church home and church family. I understand her point however I thought it might be a good idea to start a new since the pastor was leaving. After a serious "debate" I decided to go at it alone. I guess some journeys is for one man and of course with my 10 year old son Mos Def.
For as long as I can remember I have been off and on as it related to my spitual walk. My twin brother is a Muslim. At times I had visions of being twin ministers in the Nation of Islam however my love of bacon and lack of disipline would say otherwise. My mentor is a true ruff neck Rasta name Okanta. I really feel some kind of way when I hear his beliefs and outlook on life but never smoked weed and dont think I ever will.
I know I sound mixed up!-Never mind that my oldest son Lil'Ace is a Jehova Witness and my homeboy rocks with the whole Metaphysical Research thing. My pastor says that the combination of all of thesse infleunces has created a spritual gumbo. A melting pot of religious views that keeps me at arms distance to Salvation.
Last year in November I started a 90 day fast in efforts to hear from good. It ended with me getting baptised and me changing my name to King Asa. Transformation has helped me keep a strong commitment to studing and walking rightously. However once my fast was over i slowly fell off. I stopped attending chuch or readinng on a regular basis. I had ny excuses all of which are minimal at best.
So during next 30 days I will document everything that I do. From church visits, meetings with pastors, bible studings, working out, eating and of course artistic expression I will make sure to keep this journal of sorts as a testimony of my journey. I call It...30 Days and 30 Nights. Lets do this!!!
