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.

Terms And Conditions

“By signing up, you agree to our terms and conditions.” 
 
Many websites have this requirement, and I know its a bore for many folks to sit down and read it. But could the time we do not want to take at the outset be taken back from us later, and stressfully so?

I bring this up because of the greater amount of business we do online these days. I believe its good sense, If you will have a lot to do with a particular website, to read their terms and conditions before doing business with them. I usually invest a day at the outset, to save me many days worth of trouble later.

Jack Dorsey's company at squareup.com, for example, has a very thorough and comprehensive user agreement that I really enjoyed reading. I enjoyed it for its thoroughness, and I got a good sense of what my transactions with them will mean, now and in the long term. With every transaction, I know what the consequence for good and bad could mean. What liberties are taken away from me, and why. What you don't know could hurt you.

Also on a personal level, I also took the opportunity to learn how they structured it, and that could come in handy, and as an idea guide for how to put together my own later, as my legal underpinning for my transactions with the world.

I believe knowing the terms of trade is crucial to any good business deal. So for starters who are looking to build your own thing, take time to master the basics of good business deals---and the legal part of it is crucial. It will come in handy later when issues come up, and they do come up, and will save you a lot of worry then.

Also, when it comes time for you to teach others who will like to learn the ropes from you, you will be able to give them a sound foundation for their own business. Trust me, they'll thank you later.

This nation is a nation of laws, and no one is above the law, so know what you are signing.
