Pray for Donald Trump! The word ‘for’ does mean ‘in support of’. But what factors represent authentic support? Yes-men, genuflectors and sycophants are often the surest path to one’s downfall. The truth supports us all – that is the rock of reality. And that’s what the Spirit told a prophet (who shall remain unnamed in … More Pray for Donald Trump.
The Politics of Religion pt. 2 It was a Trumpeter, my name for those inFoxicated (not a slip, spelling intended) friends of mine who see Trump through the ‘right’ lens, as opposed to the ‘wrong’ lens….. at least as far as they are concerned; who asked the stunningly honest question: In a world of conflicting … More Mine
I will be ever pressing for the common recognition of some basic truths that undergird the preservation of public freedom. The understanding that the domains of politics and religion are intertwined and in fact quite inseparable despite the shallow conceptions of materialistic humanism and its renewed attempts to deconstruct what it does not understand. They … More The Politics of Religion
We all know and speak incessantly about how this unprecedented, tremendous access we all have to, and because of, modern technology…. how this in itself has ironically contributed as much to the polarization of society as to the homogenization of cultural values, norms and mores; with the metropolitan heart center of the world pulsating somewhere … More Creative conversations

Joyner along with others boosted the visitor … More Sanctuary Cities
This week Jamaicans celebrate 57 years of state sovereignty (to the degree that we have been able to establish it) and 185 years of Emancipation from slavery (to the degree we have worked that out also). Both freedom and sovereignty are essentially states of consciousness moreso than legislative realities established by the stroke of a … More Mirror Mirror
My most dominant image of masculinity is that of the Connoisseur Giver. The Extravagant Lover. That nature and Biology has endowed our gender with that potential is I think undeniable. The roles of warrior, hunter, judge, worker, and king are all important male archetypes as well and worthy of emulation. But from my perspective, the … More Enjoy the meal (Eat your words 2)
Jesus’ counterintuitive mind continues to fascinate the daylights out of me. From a cultural perspective, he was the ultimate contrarian. The kind of mind no matter how much studied you cant learn to predict. Jesus becomes aware that his end is near in John 13, and starts talking about it (his death) clear through to … More Eat your words
Two factors that will turn Jamaica right side up if applied – Attention and Affection. Attention. I have used this skill to disrupt the dysfunction in so many lives. The human spirit thrives on attention. If you doubt me, ask Donald Trump. Most every personality disorder is an inverted request for attention and evidence of … More Attention
The tendency for adult decision-making to become hopelessly prejudiced and often poisoned by the partisan spectacles through which we have learned to view the world is a matter of mere observation in any modern society of blended diversity. Not without reason did the scripture say a child will lead them. For similar reason, you will … More Unimpeachable
