Purpose

(For every page's details please scroll down).

I am Kingston. Welcome to our space. Out of a deep desire we created this space, to create a gathering for folks who believe in Jesus and will also like to make a unique contribution to the world through creative personal projects.

Also, these are folks who in the face of the negatives in life, choose faith. These are people who decide within themselves to choose a different path.

I chose the word “We,” because I know my folks are already out there.

These are folks who somehow know that in a place of swear words, they will like to choose wholesome words. When faced with the left and right, will prefer the right. In a place of despair and hope, to cling to hope. Whether to choose to doubt or believe, will side with believing. Whether to give up the seat or not, know it's right to give it up for the elderly. Between anger and calm, they will be happy to keep their cool. Between light and darkness, choose the light.

We are not perfect, we fall sometimes, but we get up and keep striving for what's right. So if you are still working on yours and feel like us, feel free to come along. We all often need a hand.

But always know that at any moment, we have the power to choose.

And in this choosing, our chief tool is the Word of God.

Feel free to look around, read the posts, or simply say hello or ask me a question through the form below, at the bottom of this page.

Sweeping, And Taking Out The Trash

In a small town in Africa today, a young girl is up early in the morning. She readies to take on her duties for the morning. 

First she washes her face, and if she has a mirror she looks into it to see if all's well....she gets dressed, and picks up a broom and sweeps the entire home. She starts by sweeping the backyard and then the front. 
 
Her brother, who often rises a little later, waits for the whole family to rise, and then without being an inconvenience to them, proceeds to dust off the furniture and property inside---appliances, couches, windows, and doors.

To finish off, his sister cleans the kitchen, does the dishes, and finally takes out the trash. They both take their shower, and are ready for the day. This happens everyday.

...................................................................................

Over here in Texas, the same thing must happen, with me, in my mind, where I live. 

Every morning calls for me to wash my face with clean water, the Word of God, to rid off sleep. I must check my face in the mirror of the truth, again God's Word---a true reflection---to see if everything is okay.

After I must take a broom, and sweep up and clean off all the dust and dirt that has collected on me, my body, my mind, and my heart---like the little girl and her brother, I need to sweep the yards outside and the rooms inside and dust off the couches, windows, and doors. And finally take out the trash.
 
Yeah, let's take the mornings to clean up and take out the trash---negativity, doubt, hopelessness, ....and all the garbage. It's only a matter of time before it begins to stink, if left inside, and a dirty outside is no good, either. Let's sweep, for mind is home.
