Worship Wednesdays - "In The Middle" by Isaac Carree

Don't wait til Sunday to get your praise on people. Hump day is here and Isaac Carree wants you to know that you can praise Him "In The Middle" of the week, on the job even if you have no food to eat! The former member of gospel group Men of Standard and John P. Kee singer will be releasing his highly anticipated solo album "Uncommon Me" sometime this year. In a class by himself, his musical style may draw some comparison to gospel's wonder boy Deitrick Haddon. So clap your hands, do your dance cause this gospel hit will lift your spirits, get you moving and snapping your fingers. So despite your situation, stay encouraged and praise Him anyway!

Let's Hear It For The Boy (VIDEO)

After watching the NBA on NBC this afternoon, I had to give it up to all the guys for playing so hard. After the Bulls beat the Magic by the skin of their teeth in the 4th quarter (thanks to my boy Derrick Rose) and the pitiful loss by the Celtics to the Heat in today's doubleheader, all I could say is "let's hear for the boy(s)". The Celtics & Rondo failed to make a comeback in the 4th quarter after a short 11-0 run and was blown out in the end 77-100. Well the playoffs start next Saturday so for all that you guys do to entertain fans like me, GOOD LUCK. Here's my tribute to you: Music Video by Deniece Williams - Let's Hear It For The Boy!

PS- And, much respect to Deniece (Niecy) Williams too, who can forget the classics like "Black Butterfly" okaaay, nuff said. THANK YOU...

CD Pick of The Week

Don't sleep on Uncle Charlie! The man still got it. His voice is timeless and he is putting some of these young so-called R&B cats to bed (we won't mention any names…lol).With Valentine's Day right around the corner, guys this will definitely get your ladies in the mood. On the new CD "Just Charlie" I couldn't help but to enjoy the sweet lyrics Charlie Wilson belts out throughout the entire album. The first single “You Are” I predict will be one of the top wedding songs played this summer. The classic remake of “I Want to Be Your Man” with Fantasia holds its own but the original is better and the up-tempo track “Life of The Party” is one my favorites. Overall, the album is a charmer. One could only imagine he dedicated this album to his wife (after his recovery from prostate cancer) because the underlying testimony of love I believe surely influenced his creative process. This is definitely for the Grown & Sexy. You won't be disappointed!

Scenes from the recession - The Big Picture

Foreclosures, layoffs, high gas prices and mounting credit card debt is just the sign of the times as recession only gets worse. The downturn of the economy is showing threats of a "Great Depression" and globally affecting the stock markets. Meanwhile, our retirement accounts are dwindling and $170 billion of our taxpayer money was totally wasted on AIG. Oh, did I forget to mention - they just issued $165 million on executive bonuses. You kidding me right? The photos speak for themselves (view link). There's no justification except the rich keeps getting richer while the poor gets poorer!

Will the New Jersey Nets move to Brooklyn fail?

As a born Brooklynite who now resides in Jersey, the idea of the New Jersey Nets moving to Brooklyn is so exciting and great for the city. Although, I'm not a NJ Nets fan - I can't really stand to see them play since Jason Kidd, Tayshon Prince, and Kenyon Martin days. I think the idea of Brooklyn having their own team is just a good look for obvious reasons, (the Knicks suck). With the help of Nets owners Bruce Ratner and rapper Jay-Z (who grew up in Marcy Projects) they need to seal the deal, settle all the logistics and make it happen. The move date was set for the 2009-2010 season, now I hear its been delayed again for the 2010-2011 season. Only time will tell. So much speculation has been surfacing regarding this acquistion to building construction, zoning and eminent domain issues; to see it fail will be such a disappointment.

Brooklyn Nets Fan,
