Can You See???

I never lost it; just somehow ended up putting the pen down.

Something like a crown; sometimes the issues just weighs me down.

But the fight never left; although the 12^th round is as of yet.

A different season, a different reason, different territories, different leaches.

I throw my hands up and ask to be released.

Can you see?

The emotions on my shoulders;

The identity crisis hovering over;

or the grown man stuck, with no stroke, to swim ashore.

Nah...it’s not all over!

Progression is a must, procrastination move over.

Destiny’s whispering my name and I want to know her.

Misunderstandings…we now have closure.

Can you see?

I’ve been cut from the finest of cloth.

My decisions haven’t always been the best;

But growth said keep walking.

I want to bounce back;

the down-side is that I first have to bounce.

So because my patience doesn’t align with your waiting;

Doesn’t mean I’m not somewhat in the park.

Can you see?

That I followed the model plan.

But my mission is still incomplete.

Without a vision and ambitions;

I swear, I couldn’t really see.

Stuck in a system that’s solely designed for me.

However, I take the pledge to be different;

my soul one must seek.

Can you see?

The difference in my tone, the way that I walk.

My hairs have been numbered on my head;

I must stand apart.

No matter their definition,

I’m one to be defined.

And why my God continues to work;

I’ll be the one continuing to climb.

I can’t tell the future; but I sure do believe;

that when you actually open your eyes to me, then you will surely see.

"Ladies...Don't Make It Hard For The Next Woman!!"

By: LaCheston Moore

While at work tonight, I decided to throw on my headphones and listen to some music while prepping for the work-night.  Due to me having to which phones, all of my normal music was not on my new device.  So I start all the songs in this particular phone on random and started to do my regular.  Now the first song to come on was K. Michelle, “Can’t Raise A Man.”  If I were to be honest about this song and my playlist, I’d normally just hit the next button because I don’t even know why I purchased it three years ago anyway.  But for some strange reason, I decided to listen to it.  And in doing so, there’s one small thing that could be major in someone’s life that I want to share with you all, especially the ladies.  “Don’t Make it Hard for the Next Woman!”

Yes, your exactly correct, this one is about to get interesting.  In this ballot, K. Michelle goes on to say, “You can’t raise a man, he’s already grown, what you gonna do?  You wonder why he acts like a boy; It’s cause he wasn’t raise right before you; Girl, you ain’t never gonna change nobody; If he don’t wanna, you can’t make nobody; Cause you can’t raise a man, no, no” (“K. Michelle – Can’t Raise A Man).

Now the part that stood out to me, caught my attention and made me think was when she said, “It’s cause he wasn’t raised right before you” (“K. Michelle – Can’t Raise A Man).  Now I may be wrong on this, but I’m gone go at it anyway.  You know how we preachers are.  Everything that we hear or see, we believe for it to have a message in it.   I honestly believe that K. Michelle isn’t only talking about how this guy was raised inside of his household (his growing habitat), but she is also talking about his growth from his previous relationship.  With over 50 percent of the world being women, there was a poll taking by MSN that stated, "26 percent of woman are more-so attracted to guys that are just drop dead handsome ("The Top 20 Traits Women Want In A Man").  However, this also suggest that there is 24 percent of women in the world that don't necessarily need you to be Morris Chestnut, Michael Ealy or even Idris Elba.  They just want you to be a decent, faithful, thoughtful, responsible, and God-Fearing guy.  Needless to say, “ladies what are you accepting?”

 

I think that we as men have a tendency to get set in our ways extremely faster than women.  We tend to gripe about things that we are not gone to compromise about and we look at the situation as “it is simply what it is.”  One reason this is, regardless of how you want to look at it.  There are approximately 3.2 Million people in the United States (Google).  Of those 3.2 Million 50.8 percent are females and the remanding 49.2 percent are males.  So you can be on the Beyonce, “I can have another you in a minute” all you want.  But the reality of it is, men will not give into or show appreciation to a woman that has no concreteness or stature about herself.  Beyonce may have said it best, but men actually have more options in potential mates than woman (not to say that just because there’s a higher percentage of women, that men are guaranteed a better quality of women).

What does all this mean?  “A woman that stands for something will not fall for anything.”  Do not get it twisted, this is what men seek when it comes to that woman you want to put the ring on.  But for every single woman that lacks what has just been mentioned, you honestly make it harder for the next woman.  One woman accepting being mistreated, not nurtured and cared for, not appreciated sets off a ripple effect for all women that come after her.  Due to him consequently not learning anything, now the next woman he meets or encounters is supposed to be acceptable of him treating and doing her any kind of way; for this is now what he is used to.  He wasn’t taught anything about the things that women desire, admire and love in previous relationships like:  passion, confidence, faithfulness, dependability, generosity, and kindness, exemplify the ideal dad, or simply making his woman laugh and feel comfortable (Illuminati).  He has now become this person that only wants to “knock you up or knock you out;” All because what he thinks is acceptable and this has now become his norm.  But this message on today is to give you your voice back!  Just tell them him in your Kevin Hart voice, “you gone learn today!!”  Instead of settling and being a victim to nonsense, know that as a child of God that you are a blessing!  As a woman you are a blessing!  And your potential standing-up, for how a woman should be treated, could create a possible opportunity for another woman to be blessed through your failures.  Instead of her enduring continued unwanted pains in an unnecessary burden.  So ladies, “Don’t Make it Hard for the Next Woman!!”    

But one last thing I want to point out to you ladies is that even though the man is the head, you are still a “tone-setter!”  Notice that I did not say “trendsetter,”  that term has already went to the head of way to many women that can’t even maintain what truly matters in life, for trying to keep up with a lifestyle they honestly can’t maintain.  For all my old-folk reading this blog, my mom use to always tell me, “Son…you can’t live a champagne life making Kool-Aide money (holler if you hear me)!” 

So ladies, if you will indulge the term of being a “tone-setter” for just a moment, please allow me to elaborate, as this will transition us back to our overall topic of, “Ladies, Don’t Make it Hard for the Next Woman!” To all the women that are “tone-setters” and regardless of the situation you have decreed not to stand for mediocre because you have a standard about who you are willing to accept in your life; this part of the message is for you.  God never said that it would be easy!  He never said that all your good-doing, all your fasting’s, and all your praying wouldn’t land you some potential bombs.  But in order for you to stay true to yourself, the stature that you have put in place, this means not accepting defeat.  Take it as a grain of salt, learn from it.  But most of all make sure that it’s a learning process for everyone involved.  You have to know that you not accepting defeat or the altering of your character is where your blessings is gone to come from.  Stay grounded!!  God did promise us one thing in the end, that we’d be victorious.  So keep your head up, standards up, and remember to help out the person that’s potentially coming behind you.

In closing, I’d just like to point out one more thing.  When you’ve accepted Christ into your life, you accepted new standards for everything.  Jesus loved and still loves everyone more than what we could even imagine.  So ladies if you’re considering your next man.  Consider these couple of things for me: (1) Jesus gave us a perfect example of what to strive to be.  Therefore, if he isn’t trying to be Christ-like, he’s not for you anyway; (2) Christ gave His life so that we may live, so that we may enjoy the treasures of life while here on earth.  If he’s not willing to go over and beyond for you, then he’s not for you anyway (however, keep in mind that you need to be worth going over and beyond for); (3) the bible tells us that we will live like Kings and Queens in Mansions in heaven.  If you don’t feel like you the Queen of your mansion (no matter if it’s a apartment, studio, or starter-home) or he isn’t trying to put you in a house that you-all can call home, he’s not for you anyway; and (4) when Christ died on the cross.  He gave the ultimate sacrifice so that you can be all that you are right now.  He loved us through His living and even more through His death.  Ladies, if that brother doesn’t have no decent insurance to help you out when he passes away to make sure your okay and good on some of the promises that that joker made you while he was living, he’s not the one for you (Just a little humor there at the end).

Desiree Washington set for Cape Town, South Africa - "One From Within Our Ranks"

"One From Within Our Ranks"
By: LaCheston T. Moore

Desiree Washington, UWA Student, BOSS Member

“For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what one does not have” (2 Corinthians 8:12).  In this verse, the word declares that we can all reach out and help someone in some way, shape, form or fashion.  Regardless of rather its prayer, devoting time to the success of one’s mission or giving financially. 

Cape Town, South Africa

Here at the Inspirational Cornerstone we’d like to highlight Ms. Desiree M. Washington, a 19-year-old student from Mobile, Alabama that attends The University of West Alabama.  She was recently awarded the opportunity to travel to Cape Town, South Africa on a mission trip to provide educational need for less fortunate children in this part of the world.   Throughout the duration of this article, Washington answers a few brief questions on what the opportunity means to her and how she feels it inspires and drives her to be exactly what God has called her to be.

How can I help or how can I make a difference in any given situation is a question that you always seems to hear from a loving and caring person.  Well in today’s time, you’ll find many different outlets rather they are non-profit groups, alumni associations, foundations, or for profit companies attempting to better education and opportunities for our young adults.  Well this is an attempt to support and uplift one of our very own from within the Christian ranks.  What better way to invest the “American Dollar” than on an “American Dream” and the mind of a promising student with a bright future that loves Christ.

The first two questions that we asked Washington was, what do you feel is your “mission” and “purpose” here on earth?  She responded by sharing that, “My overall mission here on earth is to be exactly what God has called me to be.  I want to be a vessel for Him to utilize how he sees fit.  As far as my purpose, I believe God has called me to educate children in low income communities and shed the love of Him on their lives.  God has called me to give HOPE.” 

The mission trip presented itself to Washington through professor and her college advisor Dr. Mustafa Morsy.  Morsy expressed that, “Washington is part of the BOSS (Biology Opportunity and Scholarship for Success) program at the university which requires certain credentials per student and she qualified for not only the program, but the mission trip as well.”

As we proceeded with the interview, we went on to ask Washington “What do you wish to accomplish while you are gone?”  She tells us that, “I plan to learn from the young children that I encounter.  As well as develop and interpret the type of love that they have and understand their culture.  I am hoping to make a difference in not only their education, but also their hearts.”

Desiree has taking it upon herself to promote God, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  She is taking her faith with her on the path in which she believes God has laid out for her.  We asked her a final question as we concluded the interview and it was very simple.  “If you could give anyone any advice on ways to better the world or themselves, what would it be?”  As humbly as she could, she simply replies, “Open your heart and love, because “LOVE” is the greatest of all things.”

Desiree with Family

The Inspirational Cornerstone has noticed Desiree Washington for her ambitions, her drive, and her love of Christ.  What better candidate to send around the world for experience, than a God-Fearing young lady that wants to do the will of God.  We are attempting to utilize our platform to aid her in raising the funds to ensure the trip possible.  So if you can find it in your heart to support her in any way possible, she’s accepting all donations as well as the purchasing of a shirt that will help with travel and trip expenses.

So in closing, if you have another quick two minutes, we’d like to pray for Desiree, the possibilities of this mission trip, and all those that will be traveling with her:

 Dearly and Most Gracious Father, O how we simply thank you for another submitting vessel to carry the love of you and your only begotten Son throughout the corners of the world.  Father right now we pray in a mighty way that this article finds its itself in the hearts of those that are givers, those that are evangelist to help spread the word, those that know the goodness of you and know that you are able to move as you see fit.  Father, right now, we pray over Desiree, we pray over everything that her heart desires; everything that she believes to be the will of you Father, we pray collectively as a whole that she allows herself too continuously to be used so that everything will come to past. Father we thank you right now for what you are getting ready to do in this season of Desiree’s life.  We thank you for everything that you have keep her from and the mindset to keep her mind and heart towards the hills in which her help comes from.  We are believing right now Father that you will pave the way for success for Desiree.  Not only with this trip, but with her family, her cousins, her peers, and all of those that come in contact with her.  Lastly, but never least, and most certainly not my last prayer, but Father, everyone that has a giving heart on today, I pray that you restore them one-hundred fold Father.  Your word declares that “Give, and it will be given to you.  A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap.  For with measure you use, it will be measured into you.”  God we believe in you because your word declares that our faith will get us through trusting in you.  As we ask for continued Grace and Mercy to cover us; All of these things, I ask, in the only wise name that matter, your Son Jesus Christ, AMEN!

1st Annual All-Star Weekend at Evergreen

"Take A Shot for Education" Basketball Tournament.
All proceeds will be donated to the
Moore Means More Scholarship Fund (Foundation).

The “All Star Weekend at Evergreen” was originally found by LaCheston Moore of Evergreen, Alabama.  The idea was generated from a fellow fraternity brother that was met while attending Troy University in Troy, Alabama.  One must give credit where credit is due, therefore identifying Elder James Earl Cray as the motivation and inspiration behind this event, kudos to you.

Elder James Earl Cray, Founder & President
Annual All-Star Weekend at Hazlehurtst, Georgia

As for Elder Cray better known as “JE,” this marks his 10^th year for the “All Star Weekend at Hazlehurst” in Hazlehurst, Georgia.  Since its beginning, this weekend has become an event that “the Hurst” and surrounding areas look forward to every year.  Not only has the event grown and became one of the main attractions besides the 4^th of July in this small city.  JE’s ministry has begun to spread throughout the Southern Region of the United States (Alabama, Georgia, and Florida).  A powerful man of God he is as his ministry has encouraged him to be just that more active in his community as he has become an icon in the Hazlehurst community.

Valerie Walton-Tolbert
Director of Volunteers

LaCheston Moore
Founder & President

While at Troy University, when choosing a Fraternity to join, this can be a process of its own.  It is very rare that a member or members of the fraternity will seek you out nowadays.  Well I just so happen to be one person that JE sat down and talked to personally about the life of a Sigma.  During that conversation, I would have never guessed that a couple years later that he would be talking to me about God.  When the people say that God makes no mistakes when he places certain people in your life; I truly think that he had JE and I in mind. 

Brittany Jones
Director of Finances & Publicist

JE talked to me many summers about coming to Hazlehurst to support his weekend and see if it would be something that I would be interested in bringing to my hometown one day.  Well as it has already been noted via the Facebook introduction of Moore Means More Scholarship Fund (Foundation), I never went.  But we talked about getting everything started and now the “1^st Annual Weekend at Evergreen” has been born.

Shiquita Lee-Fulton
Historian

Considering the events that would take place that weekend, some thought had to be put into what to do with the funds that would be raised.  There was the thought of letting it remain in an account for general operation of next year’s event and there was the thought of awarding it to some high school graduate getting ready to pursue college.  The decision was unanimous as there is always a child that needs financial assistance in pursing their dream education at a great university.

Sophia Johnson
Chief Operations Officer

The planning had started and once people started getting involved, everyone was excited.  I had been relaying information back to JE about the progress that the foundation and the week was making and he was excited as well.  The events included: a comedy show, a 5k walk & run, basketball tournament, a fun day for the children, and a career day for the teens.  There was literally something for everyone in the city of Evergreen to do doing the weekend extravaganza. 

Rev. Kenneth Kidd, Pastor
First Baptist Church
Evergreen, Alabama

But because it was in its beginning stages, the weekend lacked sponsorship's, our manpower took a deep turn, and it seemed as if the weekend would be a disaster. But GOD!!!  I called JE up and told him about what was going on and he told me the same thing had happen to him when he first started off.  He told me to stay encourage, trust in the people that were dedicated to seeing the weekend through and do the best that we could.  And for that, I thank you JE for the encouraging words; I thank you Bell Riley for making the process easy with the gym and contacting Pastor Kidd of the First Baptist Church in Evergreen;  I thank you Valerie Walton-Tolbert for sticking it out with me when it seemed like it wasn't gone fall through; I thank you Brittany Jones for answering your phone every time I call about something that I couldn't handle because I am not in Evergreen; I thank you Shiquita Lee-Fulton for being committed and staying on the team; Sophia Johnson, you’re the best, you came on board and have been a workaholic ever since; Pastor Kidd, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to spread the gospel at your church; And finally, to everyone in Evergreen that plans on attending the events planned for this year, I want to say thank you in advance.  Just know that your spirit, encouragement, and participation will not go in vain.  Everything that the foundation is doing is for the better good of the graduating students and our community.  We are gone to make the best of this experience as best we can and we look forward to seeing everyone that can make it.  God Bless and God Bless!

"The Man From the Bench" (Men need strong God-Fearing Women)

The Prelude….

The beginning…. “Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him” (Genesis 2:18)

There are certain things that we as men just need a woman for.  There are certain voids in our life that can only be filled by a god-fearing woman.  A touch that only a wife can provide that is forever comforting.  A security that our children are in the best of hands.

This story tells the story of a man that performs Godly miracles through our Father, but doesn't acknowledge him for all his blessings that he has received.  He has finally come to a crossroad where money cannot buy him happiness or fix the problem and he is finally wondering why.

The Story…

There was a doctor that had just about everything that he wanted.  He was the best in the land for what he did when it came to saving lives and delivering babies, he was loved by many.  But when that doctor would get to his house, he often noticed that it was not a home.  He had someone that he was dating, but the relationship featured so many ups and downs that he often found himself simply wanting to give up.  Or he actually found himself by himself more than often.  He really wished and hoped for his significant other to realize what he wanted to form with her.  But for some odd reasons, she never could see eye to eye with him when it came to certain things.

Well one day the doctor was on his way to work.  As his stepped outside of S-Class Mercedes, he noticed a guy sitting on a bench outside of the hospital.  For some odd reason he approached the guy and spoke to him.  The man spoke back, but as the doctor turned and walked away, the man utter these words to him, “seek him first, that he will provided your empty space with the blessings in which you’re heart so much desires.”  The doctor turned in shock and continued to walk inside of the hospital.

After a crazy shift, the doctor checks-out and prepares himself for departure.  Once he got outside of the building, he noticed the man was still sitting on the bench.  The doctor approached him and asked him, “What did you mean by your statement in which you spoke of earlier?”  The guy on the bench replied, “Nothing is free doc, you have to pay the piper.”  The doctor then responded by saying, “Well I have no cash on me, I’d have to go to a nearby bank to get some.”  The guy says, “Doc for what I am about to tell you, no money can buy.  But if you promise me one thing after I tell you what it is that I have been lead to, that I can pray with and for you, I will share this information with you.”  The doctor looked in amazement and nods his head yes.

The guy on the bench stands up in front of the doctor and tells him that you relationship is null and void because you lack the key thing that will bring it to life; you lack Christ.  The same God that guides your hands on the operation table; blesses you with the knowledge to perform in the manner that you do; keeps you financially stable the way that you are so that your mind and heart is always clear, you must let him into your life.

You go to your house after work to a woman that doesn't even want to spend time with you.  Doesn't seem to ease the pain and void that you have by attempting to be a life partner.  You search for all the qualities of a wife in a girlfriend that doesn't even know how to be a woman.  She must first too allow God to be the head of her life in order for you-alls union to be blessed.  One thing that you must remember is that God has placed everyone in our lives for a particular reason.  For everything that you sow into people lives in the hospital as a doctor, I’m talking the grief for those that have lost someone; the happiness for those that have brought new life into the world, the joy that a disease has been removed from one’s body.  Doc you need a woman, a wife, at home that understands the man in which she has, your worth, your now ongoing relationship with God and she understands it is her duty to pour back into you what it is that you put out every day.

The doctor looks at the guy from the bench as his eyes begin to water.  He asks him, “So I am not selfish for wanting to spend more time or want to be with in her more than what I am now?”  The guy looks upon the doctor as says, “God wants for us to all have someone, especially someone that performs his miracles right here on earth. “

Finally the guy from the bench tells the doctor, “that emptiness in which you face in your relationship must be filled first and foremost with a relationship with God.  Once he sees that you’ve accepted him, he will work on everything else for you.  But you also need to allow for him to send you a woman that understands both how you feel and how you operate, so that your relationship is not hardship, but something that is prosperous for the both of you.”

The doctor had his head down and he felt the guy from the bench place his hands on his head and he began to pray.  The doctor begins to weep more because of were his faith and belief lied with Jesus Christ.  How his relationship was nowhere near what he wanted it to be.  As the guy continues to pray harder and harder, the doctor begins to speak, “father I repent for not accepting you into my life.  Father I just ask for forgiveness right now.  Father I just ask for a relationship that you will bond through your strength that no man can break.  Father I just ask for you to send me someone that understands the importance of time, sacrifice, and communication.  Father I want to know more of you, I want a partner that is just as eager for your love as I am.”

While the doctor continues to pray, he feels the guy from the bench hands leave his head.  As he dries his tears and wipes his face, so that he can stand and walk to his car, he feels a slight breeze.  When he stands up, his significant other is standing in front of him and she asks him, “Who were you talking to?”  He responds, “Did you not see a man standing over me?”  She responds, “No.”  And then she tells him that, “I've been standing here for a second now and I heard your prayer.  I want you to know that I want to be your better half. I want to work on everything that we lack and do it in the name of Jesus.”  The doctor’s heart trembled as he started to weep again.  He grabs his significant other to give her a huge and begins to walk to his car.  But right before he got in the car, he looked back over to see the bench was still empty, however, a shadow was bending the corner.  The doctor then looked up to the sky and said thank you Lord, for you know best and I thank you for that angel in which you sent to speak over me.

The Conclusion...

Men that doctor represents the duties in which we have to God, our family and our love ones; we have work to do.  Ladies we as men need a woman that backs us and supports us so that we can continue to do the things in which God has called us to be.  No matter if it’s a Doctor, Writer, Lawyer, Preacher, or whatever.  This story does not represent struggle and taking our women for granted.  But it does represent that we are at our best when our support system consist of you.

-Minister LaCheston T. Moore

Paul changed and Peter changed, so LaCheston can change.

By: Minister LaCheston Moore

A couple years ago, I despised music artist that went from hip-hop, rap or R&B to gospel.  I honestly felt as if they only decided to pursue a music career in Gospel because they had no success in their first choice of genre.  Well I’ve been forced to look back on my opinion of these people as I have found salvation of the same nature.

For those of you that know me, then you know that I have been known for music, frat guy, partying, party promoter, and most importantly, a businessman.  It has been through grace and mercy that God has held me all these years, but the same guy that thought musicians that did not seek him first had alternative motives in pursuing Gospel music simply for a promising career and money; is the same guy that has also been delivered and accepted the calling of God and its sincerely not for a career or money.  However, it is to glorify his name and in the words of Elder James Earl Cray, “save one soul at a time.”

It is with grace and mercy that we are all saved.  But to the answer of a calling, one must be of the elite “300”. 

In 2009, I took part in a play written and directed by Elder James Earl Cray at Troy University.  During this play one of my lines was, “If Paul can change and Peter can change, then Maurice (the character from the play) is subject to change.”  I never thought that this would come to pass; however, my message today is that we are all subject to change and become more Christian-like to do the work of God.

In the Bible, Paul was a man that defied the church and everything that it stood for.  He ordered the slaughtering of many church people both men and women.  However, after Jesus spoke to him on the road to Damascus this revelation caused a dramatic change in which Paul became of humble servant of the word.

Peter was a disciple of Jesus that was extremely close to him.  However, he would be the first and only to disown him when he was arrested, but he repented and was forgiven.  Peter would later preach the Pentecost that saved 3000 people through the grace of Christ.

I say this to any and all that may read this, that God is alive and well, for he lives in all of us that accept him as Lord and our Savior.  Sometime we seek the wrong things, but know that there are better days to come.  My life is definitely a living testimony.  However, Pastor Kelvin Bryant of Faith Walkers Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama tells us, “Fear nothing that you have been through or where you are because it is all a set up.”

The message has been laid upon my heart to simply let those who may be exposed this blog know that God has a plan for us all.  Through his grace and mercy he has showed me where I am headed.  You may not receive him through me because of whom I am and where I’ve come from.  However, I do simply request that you find God and your relationship with him for yourself.  For eternal life will be revealed through his divine intervention with you. 

I’ve confessed with my mouth and I believe in my heart that Jesus died for my sins.  And though I have been a businessman that promoted to bring people to clubs and parties for years; I’ve simply left that behind to bring souls closer to Jesus Christ and in the house of the Lord.

So to my family, friends, and business partners, when you see my tweets about the word, retweet them as you would do an event I was promoting.  Like my Instagram postings so that they may generate through the news feed so that other people can see them.  Email a friend a blog that you’ve read that may be that inspiration they need for the day.  Bring your girls and your boys to church to worship with you.  If you can be a believer by having faith the size of a mustard seed, than you can do the smallest work for the man above.  I promise you that it will all take its place and God will begin to show you things.

I’ve said this all to simply say that we all can change and we all have a purpose.  I respect and love my Pastor, Pastor Tadera White of the Greater New Heights Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, as I am currently under the direction of him there.  I will be preaching my initial sermon (trail sermon) on November 17, 2013 at 11:00 a.m.  I’m asking for all family, friends, and associates to come out and worship with us on that day.
