THE CURE

Let it fly 

just fight 

always realize 

that the cure's inside

the medicine to heal 

has been revealed 

through your faith 

ask and believe 

pray and receive 

if they don't understand

then dust off your feet

move on to complete

your mission and task as a christian 

is to go further 

change stations daily 

to be condemned 

even on a cross sometimes hanging 

however I'd prefer to carry 

but not to burry the burden 

but be strong not so weary

Instead I wear it 

the breastplate of righteousness 

helmet of salvation 

the sword of the spirit 

no road blocks or limitations 

but wait I still struggle and try to have patience 

here's my statement

at times I'm torn 

about how to connect the youth to the Lord

so I reflect, pray really hard for inspiration

because sometimes prayer is our only medication, 

our only vacation from a plagued society 

with no inhalation of the spirit 

instead their vacant, but God can save it

As for me, I built my house on very firm pavement. 

Make it...

Go get it if you want it

You're destined to keep runnin

Race for the Cure 

I have faith you'll find somethin!

Today, at Chaminade Middle school we had our very first "Justice Fair". Students made baked goods, jewelry, art's and crafts, and much more to sell and fundraise for a charity of their choice. I was very impressed with the giving hearts and minds of the students.  However, a couple students decided to make a 5 track Rap Cd.  It was titled "THE CURE" it has many tones of resolution for curing cancer. These middle schoolers pulled it together and made a hot little demo. I was bumping it in my car as I drove off campus and was listening to the lyrics. Everything said was sincere, real, and somewhat funny at times. One of my favorite lyrics is from the LET THE EAGLE FLY track #5

Yo here's a little rappin

I'm gonna make it quick like a cheetah

and do to all your hard work 

those other schools are like salsa

we're like the bean and cheese burrit-a

I have mad respect for incorporating food into raps! I believe their small creation has potential to raise some good money for the American Cancer Society. Day one they sold 17CDS!! The great part is it was a productive creation using a style which they and many other students relate to. I can dig that for sure. So my reflection today is entitled THE CURE in honor of Cameron, Ollie, Cody, and Vinny.
