Stream Thinking: Taking On Respect

Listen to "Stream Thinking Taking On Respect" on Spreaker. September 6, 2021 A writing instrument that sits silent isn’t invested in the present. Therefore as creative minds we are to influence and empower the silent to become a voice. My father was bold enough to order his children like the soldiers he once led in Germany. This way of leading wouldn’t be respected during today’s working conditions. Respect means someone or something is greater than. Those days are no more. One look around the world and the physical act of respect is reason to cause dysfunction. It’s got to be about equal love, forgiveness, healing and growing. To show your respect means what? To many respect represents a side. You chose this side or that side. The lessons we learn in life shouldn’t be a trophy on the wall. We are to be handing things forward. Not handing out labels such as I appreciate you. We’ve become seekers of respect and appreciation. Just like we have to have those likes and hits on social media or we’re torn apart. Being grateful and mindful of all people doesn’t need a pat on the back. The word respect divides the playing field. A writing instrument that sits silent isn’t invested in the present. Therefore as creative minds we are to influence and empower the silent to become a voice. That’s being respectful without having to take or expect to receive. I don’t have a job. I have a choice. I own my decisions.

No Room

Listen to "No Room" on Spreaker. September 3, 2021 I think it’s funny. I ended my morning prayer. Pulled up my email and took note of a local church looking for a content manager. I chuckled. I knew in that moment that I don’t fit the look. Musicians move through the same experience. You have to look a certain way or go away. I’m not being a judger! I’ve applied for many positions at churches and having a love for Christ doesn’t come close to what they’re looking for. What I loved about this email was they called the position a member of our business. Wow! That’s new! I want to be interviewed by this group just to see how the evolution of church and business has become the everyday process. Somewhere along the lines of conversation I bomb at my church interviews. Is it my long hair? Is it the lack of holes in my jeans? I am for all people. Maybe that’s what gets in the way, “Son it’s about a collected people and we already have a front man.” The church needs a content manager. They have nine hours a week available. I create content. I make conversations move forward. Nine hours? I’ve spent forty two years in radio trying to get what I do inside a bottle designed for maybe fifteen hours. Listen, the funny part is how from out of nowhere this email appeared. It happened to make it to me the very second I came out of prayer. Was it God or the other side of the fence pretty much saying, “You’re still a loser!” Not a negative! Awareness is everything. Being called a loser is still the upper hand. They noticed me. It’s still God working next to you. If God wants you in a church it isn’t going to require a resume. You’ll be there because the command and calling were too much to set aside. Be present in your moment. Be alive in the spirit of others. Be you. Having a half shaved head with an untucked shirt with faded jeans doesn’t mean anything but the keeper of clothing that my father would’ve been disturbed by, “Hey! I bust my butt at that job for you not to look that way!” Thanks Dad for still living inside my dreams.

Sream Thinking: Causing Storms

Listen to "Stream Thinking Causing Storms" on Spreaker. September 2, 2021 I’m a stream thinker. A free form writer. The challenge is to spend ten minutes a day putting words on a page without going back to edit it. Being present in your place of now. Trusting the power of now. On the 28th of August I found it tough to believe that Covid was brought up on my podcast. I’ve made it a clear point to stay away from talking about it. Like politics, religion and abortion, anything dealing with Covid 19 is more than a Firestarter but a relationship destroyer. I posted the shocking news of Paul Stanley of KISS having been diagnosed. A radio program director to whom I’ve not shared a conversation with since 1993 did exactly what I knew would happen. His choice was to create an opinion. I had to respond! If you don’t say something that leads to ghosting. I reminded him that he was no longer my program director and to please give me a subject that he likes. I am a daily writer and writing is what I do. I don’t visit other people’s posts. I’m tired of the pictures and the one hundred reasons why you hate your job. There was a much deeper reason behind the Paul Stanley story. Rock with the shot gets Covid. I’ve never battled with anyone over the flu shot. Getting the Shingles shot has always created great conversation not war. There’s something very deep about this most recent walk through the pandemic. If I were standing next to my mother she’d be saying, “Mind your own business.” I knew the Paul Stanley story was going to pour fuel into an engine that isn’t turning off. Now to hear that Gene Simmons has been diagnosed is a continuing story. They took a chance to get back on that End of the Road Tour. Too close to the edge of reality.
