I wanna be your Superman for real someday
This “S” on my chest stands for super
I still remember the day I “met” you with your profile pic greeting me with a smile so pretty that I had to request to be mine…as a friend
As time passed I grew to like you more and more and nicknamed me Superman
Even though it’s our jokey-joke sometimes I wish I was your Superman to take care of trouble for you
But I’m too far away to ask you out and be my Wonder Woman to my Superman
Never a day goes by when I don’t think about you and your smile
And when my “enemies” and “supervillains” seem to get to me I know your got my back and that helps me fight for another day
I know there’s no kryptonite in the world that can stop me or steal my powers because you keep me powered up
There were many days when we didn’t speak and I really missed you but you know I woulda “flown” down to see you and make sure your ok
Hopefully one day I can be your Superman for real cuz I wanna be there for you

A Blog for Valentine's Day
This weekend is Valentine’s Day, a day set aside for the one you love. I know many people out there are searching the mall, stores and card shops for the perfect card and gift. Planning dates to the movies or dinner at a romantic restaurant or going to the first place you met and then proposing is a one of the many ways to show someone you love them on Valentine’s Day. But for many out there they do not have that someone special. It can cause most people to feel depressed and lonely just because we don’t have a Valentine or that special someone in our life. And for those of us out there who don’t have anything or anyone there is someone out there who will be our Valentine not just for Valentine’s Day but everyday afterwards. You know who it is the same person who is a mother to the motherless, a father to the fatherless, and a friend to the friendless. But for those of us who don’t that same guy can be our Valentine, that’s right Jesus will be your Valentine …, He’ll be right there when you call on Him. He’ll never leave you or forget about you. It’s like how the Apostle Paul says, in 2 Corinthians 13:14 “May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.” (NIV) So, when you feel alone on Valentine’s Day just know that Jesus is with us all who aren’t with the one or that special person or husband/wife. Also, no card or gift can compare to the love of Jesus on this Valentine’s Day. Have a Happy Valentine’s Day!!!

Fear
Fear by Jason L. Moon
2 Timothy 1:7 says in the KJV “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”
Even though the scripture flat out says that God, Himself, didn’t give us the spirit of fear yet here we are a bunch of people full of fear. Full of fear afraid of almost every single thing and so much so that people are afraid to say something as I love you or I love God or better yet I love Jesus. We’re so full of fear that Christians, any Christian is afraid to say anything without looking like some kind of judge, jury and executioner. You’ve got people out here full of fear because of what the world says there’s some kind of economic crisis. Why is it that you can be so afraid of that situation but when it comes time to church or ministry work you’re not afraid of anything? Two and half months ago on October 20th 2009 I lost my job that I had for six months; yes you would think that I would be over it by now. But on with the testimony I didn’t tell a whole lot of people that I lost that job because either I felt (feared) they would pity me or think that I done something to get laid off or my personal favorite get off your keister and look for something you’re a man after all. See, not telling anyone was done in fear not in the power of love that God gave to me. See, I was so worried about what they were going to think of me that I kept my mouth shut. Fear of what people would think was in total control and not God. So, now once again I’m back on the grind searching for a new job again I have to fight the fear and also the thoughts of others coming my way.
Next point, fear can keep you from something that has been pre-ordered for you to do. See, there’s this call on my life that I need to answer but again I am afraid of why and how this call has been placed in my life. Once again that spirit of fear creeps in with its no one will accept it and family members will get upset. Now, family members that believe are the ones I’m concerned about not the ones who may not believe I’m afraid when God gives me a word for them that the believers will not do what God has sent for them to do totally looking at me and thinking that I’m speaking as me and not God’s representative. Well not anymore will that fear hold me anymore 2010 is the year I answer that call and stop worrying about what you, you or you is going to think about me. Now, it’s Jason Moon’s turn not to think about you or your words of “preparations for the future.” The spirit of fear is not going to hold me in 2010 or the next year or the year after that. That fear is bound by God and only God has bound that I have to say one thing and that is hallelujah!
