Happy Sunday!
This piece tonight was inspired by a sermon preached today by Rev. Keenan Actkins. As always, I pray you will relax, reflect and enjoy...
No Limit

How do you explain...
a 5' 7 pro basketball player
dunking over a 7' 7 player during a game
winning the 1986 NBA Slam Dunk Contest
a poor little Black girl
born to an unwed teenage mother
raised on her grandmother's farm in Kosciusko, Mississippi
growing up to become
one of the most influential women in the world
a Black man
becoming the President of the United States
a sweet girl
born with a serious heart condition
requiring immediate surgery
that would cause her to be taken from her mother's arms
to spend a month in the NICU
tubes running through her body
finally coming home
on a feeding tube and an APNEA monitor
now at almost 3 years old
dancing, running, singing at the top of her lungs
eating pork chops, fried corn and collard greens with her Minnie Mouse fork
water
turned into wine
a giant
slain by a young boy
yielding a single rock and a sling shot
a man
living in the belly of a whale
an ark
large enough to carry
all the animals two by two
a furnace
holding with 3 men
who walk out alive
no bumps, bruises or burns
a rose
growing from the concrete
How do you explain it?
Well, it's really quite simple
We serve a GOD
with no limits...
GOD is too big to be put into the biggest box, but small enough to occupy my heart...
