I don't make it a habit of randomly contacting people I don't personally know...LOL...but I'm writing you with no other motive than to say that you're one of the realest people I've never met.  There are a lot of bystanders watching, namely harsh critics...but there is also a remnant of people, myself included, who applaud your courage, candor, and class.  We get it.  We've seemingly defected out of religion, seen the church for what it really is, and unashamedly love ourselves the way God loves us, flaws and all.  Ironically, I know the pain and backlash these actions can cause.  I know the incredible loss that life can be bring...and the painful growth associated with being rebuilt from the foundation up and taught very real lessons of total reliance on the Father.  I guess that's why I feel for you so deeply, even though I don't know you.
I, among many others, are pulling for you.  We make up a silent army whose faces may not yet be known, but support you from afar as you publicly blaze a trail for many to follow.  Be encouraged, my brother.  I honestly am not trying to elicit a response from you.  I just know we all could use some positive words sometimes, especially when so many others spread negativity without restraint.
It is my prayer that you continue to live in a place of divine inspiration.

I'm taking the "punch clock" out of serving God. Sunday mornings shouldn't be this much work. I refuse to kill myself preaching just say I "hooped". If I "go there" it should be organically induced by the Holy Ghost and not just because I'm expected to hit a home run every week. For the first time in my life I've really experienced sabbath. I plan to be around a lot longer than my father. Finally started taking people up on the help they've always offered to me. My brain is clear....I'm sleeping soundly. And my heart is mending.

Western Christian biblical references Psalm 93:1, Psalm 96:10, and 1 Chronicles 16:30 include (depending on translation) text stating that "the world is firmly established, it cannot be moved." In the same tradition, Psalm 104:5 says, "the LORD set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved." Further, Ecclesiastes 1:5 states that "And the sun rises and sets and returns to its place" etc.[92]

Galileo defended heliocentrism, and claimed it was not contrary to those Scripture passages. He took Augustine's position on Scripture: not to take every passage literally, particularly when the scripture in question is a book of poetry and songs, not a book of instructions or history. The writers of the Scripture wrote from the perspective of the terrestrial world, and from that vantage point the sun does rise and set.


By 1616 the attacks on the ideas of Copernicus had reached a head, and Galileo went to Rome to try to persuade the Church authorities not to ban his ideas. In the end, Cardinal Bellarmine, acting on directives from the Inquisition, delivered him an order not to "hold or defend" the idea that the Earth moves and the Sun stands still at the centre. The decree did not prevent Galileo from discussing heliocentrism hypothesis (thus maintaining a facade of separation between science and the church). For the next several years Galileo stayed well away from the controversy. He revived his project of writing a book on the subject, encouraged by the election of Cardinal Barberini as Pope Urban VIII in 1623. Barberini was a friend and admirer of Galileo, and had opposed the condemnation of Galileo in 1616. The book, Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems, was published in 1632, with formal authorization from the Inquisition and papal permission.


Pope Urban VIII personally asked Galileo to give arguments for and against heliocentrism in the book, and to be careful not to advocate heliocentrism. He made another request, that his own views on the matter be included in Galileo's book. Only the latter of those requests was fulfilled by Galileo. Whether unknowingly or deliberately, Simplicio, the defender of the Aristotelian Geocentric view in Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems, was often caught in his own errors and sometimes came across as a fool. Indeed, although Galileo states in the preface of his book that the character is named after a famous Aristotelian philosopher (Simplicius in Latin, Simplicio in Italian), the name "Simplicio" in Italian also has the connotation of "simpleton."[93] This portrayal of Simplicio made Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems appear as an advocacy book: an attack on Aristotelian geocentrism and defense of the Copernican theory. Unfortunately for his relationship with the Pope, Galileo put the words of Urban VIII into the mouth of Simplicio. Most historians agree Galileo did not act out of malice and felt blindsided by the reaction to his book.[94] However, the Pope did not take the suspected public ridicule lightly, nor the Copernican advocacy. Galileo had alienated one of his biggest and most powerful supporters, the Pope, and was called to Rome to defend his writings.
With the loss of many of his defenders in Rome because of Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems, Galileo was ordered to stand trial on suspicion of heresy in 1633. The sentence of the Inquisition was in three essential parts:
Galileo was found "vehemently suspect of heresy," namely of having held the opinions that the Sun lies motionless at the centre of the universe, that the Earth is not at its centre and moves, and that one may hold and defend an opinion as probable after it has been declared contrary to Holy Scripture. He was required to "abjure, curse and detest" those opinions.[95]


He was ordered imprisoned; the sentence was later commuted to house arrest.
His offending Dialogue was banned; and in an action not announced at the trial, publication of any of his works was forbidden, including any he might write in the future.[96]


Tomb of Galileo Galilei, Santa Croce
According to popular legend, after recanting his theory that the Earth moved around the Sun, Galileo allegedly muttered the rebellious phrase And yet it moves, but there is no evidence that he actually said this or anything similarly impertinent. The first account of the legend dates to a century after his death.[97]


After a period with the friendly Ascanio Piccolomini (the Archbishop of Siena), Galileo was allowed to return to his villa at Arcetri near Florence, where he spent the remainder of his life under house arrest, and where he later became blind. It was while Galileo was under house arrest that he dedicated his time to one of his finest works, Two New Sciences. Here he summarized work he had done some forty years earlier, on the two sciences now called kinematics and strength of materials. This book has received high praise from both Sir Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein.[citation needed] As a result of this work, Galileo is often called, the "father of modern physics."
Galileo died on 8 January 1642 at 77 years of age. The Grand Duke of Tuscany, Ferdinando II, wished to bury him in the main body of the Basilica of Santa Croce, next to the tombs of his father and other ancestors, and to erect a marble mausoleum in his honour.[98] These plans were scrapped, however, after Pope Urban VIII and his nephew, Cardinal Francesco Barberini, protested.[99] He was instead buried in a small room next to the novices' chapel at the end of a corridor from the southern transept of the basilica to the sacristy.[100] He was reburied in the main body of the basilica in 1737 after a monument had been erected there in his honour.[101]


The Inquisition's ban on reprinting Galileo's works was lifted in 1718 when permission was granted to publish an edition of his works (excluding the condemned Dialogue) in Florence.[102] In 1741 Pope Benedict XIV authorized the publication of an edition of Galileo's complete scientific works[103] which included a mildly censored version of the Dialogue.[104] In 1758 the general prohibition against works advocating heliocentrism was removed from the Index of prohibited books, although the specific ban on uncensored versions of the Dialogue and Copernicus's De Revolutionibus remained.[105] All traces of official opposition to heliocentrism by the Church disappeared in 1835 when these works were finally dropped from the Index.[106]


In 1939 Pope Pius XII, in his first speech to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, within a few months of his election to the papacy, described Galileo as being among the "most audacious heroes of research ... not afraid of the stumbling blocks and the risks on the way, nor fearful of the funereal monuments"[107] His close advisor of 40 years, Professor Robert Leiber wrote: "Pius XII was very careful not to close any doors (to science) prematurely. He was energetic on this point and regretted that in the case of Galileo."[108]


On 15 February 1990, in a speech delivered at the Sapienza University of Rome,[109] Cardinal Ratzinger (later to become Pope Benedict XVI) cited some current views on the Galileo affair as forming what he called "a symptomatic case that permits us to see how deep the self-doubt of the modern age, of science and technology goes today."[110] Some of the views he cited were those of the philosopher Paul Feyerabend, whom he quoted as saying “The Church at the time of Galileo kept much more closely to reason than did Galileo himself, and she took into consideration the ethical and social consequences of Galileo's teaching too. Her verdict against Galileo was rational and just and the revision of this verdict can be justified only on the grounds of what is politically opportune.”[111] The Cardinal did not clearly indicate whether he agreed or disagreed with Feyerabend's assertions. He did, however, say "It would be foolish to construct an impulsive apologetic on the basis of such views."[110]

On 31 October 1992, Pope John Paul II expressed regret for how the Galileo affair was handled, and issued a declaration acknowledging the errors committed by the Church tribunal that judged the scientific positions of Galileo Galilei, as the result of a study conducted by the Pontifical Council for Culture.[112][113] In March 2008 the Vatican proposed to complete its rehabilitation of Galileo by erecting a statue of him inside the Vatican walls.[114] In December of the same year, during events to mark the 400th anniversary of Galileo's earliest telescopic observations, Pope Benedict XVI praised his contributions to astronomy.[115]

Acts 27’14-17, 41-44
“Thank God HE Broke The Ship”
Synopsis of what is happening in Acts 27. The crux of this story is actually broken down in Acts 28.
When God breaks something up in your life, it has nothing to do with the boat.
Ego is the perceived perception of how we perceive, others perceive us.
I’m reminded of the Titanic, and how it was supposed to be unsinkable. It was said that not even God could sink it. But we found out years later that God could in fact sink the boat.
We try to figure out why God allows relationships to break up.
The boat was meant for captivity. But God’s will  can be done, even within captivity.
God is moving the most when you are immobile.
So when you can see nothing, and can do nothing, that is when God is actually up to something.
It takes the pressure off of us to have to release things. But since many of us are the captains of our own ships, we have a hard time letting go.
We can’t see wind, but we can feel wind. When we see change coming. We have a tendency to steer against it.
Wherever life’s wind is trying to carry you, let her drive.
When your sail is out of the way, only then can God drive you to purpose.
God is the ultimate GPS system and drive for our lives.
This life is about who, we are assigned to minister to later.
When God is really in charge of our life then you stop taking things personally. You stop taking the gossip and slander personally. Realizing that it is necessary to take you where you are supposed to go.
Have you ever lost your hope? Have you ever started to wonder about why you’re doing what you’re doing, for friends, and kids who are ungrateful and don’t give you your just do.
Whatever you do, don’t lose your hope. Hold fast to a time that was right. Knowing that it will come back around full circle.
Now I exhort this congregation that is in here today, to be of good cheer.
Why? Because there will be no loss of any man’s life among us.
No one’s going to take a loss.
No matter that the devil is trying to come against you, you cannot be taken out before HIS will is done in my life.
I don’t have a choice church. I have to believe that God knows what HE’S doing, cause I certainly don’t know what I’m doing. 
In verse 27 it says at midnight, I don’t know what it is about Paul and midnight. The enemy tries to come and intimidate us, but God loves to work at this time.
Verse 31 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
 
Cause if you jump from the ship prematurely then you will drown in your own efforts. But if you wait and let it happen as God intends then HE will keep you safe by giving you the buoyancy of the ships parts.
Don’t start getting all crazy and delusional because it’s been 14 days and God hasn’t come through yet. That’s the time to dive into the meat of this word to carry you through this situation.
When God’s about to take you to a different place you have to lighten up your load. And drop off those people in your life that are not contributing to it in anyway.
You gon’ have to drop some folks off, but you stay on the ship, cause you have some places to go.
Now that you know that this breaking is going to happen. Now that you see that these rocks are coming, Go ahead and commit yourself to what is coming.
In Chapter 28’1
You’ve already come through your trial and your test. 
Just when you think you’ve had enough. God says you can handle more. We’ve made it through one catastrophe in our lives and we think that’s enough.
When God gets you out of one situation, it’s time to start contributing to the house. It’s time to start contributing to the fire, once you do, the enemy will come at you and attack you.
When people see multiple things hitting your life, people assume that it’s your fault. That you’ve done something to merit, to deserve these things.
That’s exactly what Job’s friends thought about him.
What we don’t realize is that God takes things away because we didn’t need them anyway.
But what did Paul do? He simply shook it off.
Folks like to assume a lot of things, but they’re assumptions are a lot worse than the truth. I may be broken, you may be broken, but we’re still buoyant in the Spirit.
When you got God on your life, it don’t matter what people do and say against you.
When you go through something and it hurts you, it means that it’s truly new.  But if it’s something you’ve already encountered then you will have already developed antibodies to protect you from it. It will no longer be able to hurt you or harm you.
Once they saw that nothing happen to Paul. They realized that it must be God.
When you go through things it will give you a backbone you never thought you would have. It gives you the type of strength you would never have otherwise.
The vipers are not after you, they’re after your anointing. They’re not after you, they’re after your future, your purpose.
The truth is that the boat was broken up so that he could get to an island to meet someone else’s need.
There’s somebody I have not met you who needs this testimony. So I must stand, I must stand toe to toe. Even
I’m going to be selfish about my salvation, but selfless about my vocation.
They assumed that Paul was a murderer. But in reality, Paul was a prophet that had to go through hell to bring heaven to somebody else.
God even uses our crazy decision making which causes us to choose a different path to minister to a larger population.
When saints go through hell, that means a new oil is about to hit their life.
You can’t fight a now situation based off of how the previous situation was. You can’t use your old oil to battle these new demons.
We have to move from faith to faith and glory to glory. Don’t be satisfied with how things have always been. Seek to get closer to God.
So count it all joy somebody when your ship breaks. Somebody praise God for flipping the script on your ideas. Praise God for changing your itinerary.
God uses the winds of life to put you on the right path and the right destination.
It’s a blessing that it didn’t work out.
It’s a blessing that you found out they were fake and phony. It’s a blessing that you found out who they really are.
Paul took the same hand that got bitten. The same hand with the venom in it to lay it on the king.
God will take that hand that has the venom in it to worship HIM.
When Paul laid hands on the man, he was immediately healed.. After the word had travelled and other people on the island heard that he wasn’t a murderer, but an anointed man with a purpose, they brought their children and family members to him to be healed.
The only reason why you go through hell is to develop the oil that you need to minister to others. To give you power. To give you anointing and purpose on your life.
They stayed on the island for about three months. He prayed for people for three months. In exchange for 14 days of service, God gave him three months of ministry. Within that 3 months, his needs were also met. Give God 2 weeks and HE’ll supply you with every thing you need for months.
The same folks who were running their mouths, not only gave you more than enough supplies, they also had to put it on your new ship.
God did you a favor by breaking up your boat. Cause God is using your enemies to build you a new boat.
Thank God for a ruined reputation. Thank God that the mess got exposed the way it did. Cause now you don’t have nothing else over me. Thank you for showing me that you only had two skips and a draw four, cause you’ve used your last card against me.
God is making a way. Everywhere you turn, blessings are going to hit you.
I stood in the midst of my adversity and praised God anyhow, and because of that I will be blessed.
Your latter shall be greater!
Your latter shall be greater!
Your latter shall be greater!
 
No viper, no scorpion, nothing will take away my praise.

Lyrics to "This is All of Me"
From the forthcoming album 
A BRILLIANT CATASTROPHE


It took almost 11 years
2 finally get back 2 my real self
it took almost 11 years
just 2 4get about what others felt

It took a whole lot of courage 
and it took a whole lot of sweat and tears
2 come face 2 face with all my fears
it wasn't that easy

Along the way I lost a lot of friends
because they couldn't handle the real me
oh, what a joy , what a relief it is
to tell the truth and live a life that's free

I wouldn't trade it for a million bucks
agape love it doesn't cost a thing
Take it or leave it this is me

I was so scared that people wouldn't love me
My heart was petrified that God would judge me
And some of my family just up and str8 disowned me
I might have to walk alone but I'm not lonely
 
This is all of me 
Can't take 1/2 of me
This is all of me
I hope that you're proud of me

I never thought that I would walk away
from everything and everyone I love
but I refuse live a lie for them
so I could fit inside of their mind's glove

And now I walk around with dignity
Cuz' There's no need for me to push and shove
Take it or leave it here I am 

So many years I cried when I heard rumors
because deep inside I knew it was the truth (but, hey!)
But I took away all the power from the tabloids
and I found the courage to do what I was called to do

This is all of me 
Can't take 1/2 of me
This is all of me
I hope that you're proud of me

 March for Justice
 March for equality
 Fight for humanity 

AARRGH ( gun shot )

"Mama, mama please don't cry.
I fought my war like a man;
and if I should die tonight ....tell dad for me;  that I love him."

This is all of me 
Can't take 1/2 of me
This is all of me
I hope that you're proud of me

for all the "kids" around the world

I'm telling you you're beautiful
I'm telling you you're wonderful
for all the "kids" around the world
for all the "kids" around the world
take it or leave it
I love you
I'll never leave you
Jesus loves you
You'll always be there

Jesus Loves the little "children"
