| Val-Val, is a name that I remember being called so many times as a child by one of my favorite cousins: Man-Man. I called my adult cousin this because I could not pronounce his name (smile). I hope that you will receive my music in ministry that the Lord has given me to share with you. Now let me take you over the history about how I learned to appreciate music. My ma, loved to sing from as early as my grandma could remember,my dad did also. They sung in the church up until their home going, also, in the Vashon High School Choir and Drama Guild. My dad was also in the Jewish Synagogue he could even tap dance and performed in the St. Louis Muny Opera-dancing and singing. Ma sung around town as did he, but she would allow me to accompany her to rehearsals of Jazz music with the late Chick Finney Band. I remember her singing in St. Louis' reknown Gaslight Square neighborhood-where all the popular singers would come to town to perform. God is good, all the time and all the time, God is good. I had no idea that watching her rehearse, practising on some of those same songs (in private-I was afraid to compete with the true singer (ma)) and rehearsing with her and my brother MG in her living room would help to establish the musical and societal timing, tone, and rhythm in me. My brother has traveled all over the world just about and I have always respected his natural artistic abilities and especially the fact that he is the one who taught me how to judge whether a song was a good song or not. He stated,"listen to the lyrics-you don't know if a song is good or not until you listen to the words". I've got to tell you, since the Lord has given me the space and time to say it, (smile), MG is ONE SOUND DRUMMER. He cares for his art like a parent cares for their children and he started off building his own drums from my mama's hat boxes and by the age of 13, he was a professional musician. He played with Mel & Tim and performed on the songs "Backfield IN Motion" and "Starting All Over Again." This is why I contributed a drum instrumental track to him. Hamstring, Sr., is a branch off of the same musical tree as is his son Hamstring, Jr., and his children Joshua 1:8,Mon Petit Fils "A President In The Making", and Mon Petit Fille "The Scholar, Model/Singer". . I am very conscientious of how I represent them all. ENJOY!
Qualifications: Qualifications that start from on high (in heaven) and trickle its way down to earth are in deed the qualifications that shall last and count. Remember with me, if you will, there was a certain young boy/a certain young teenager/a certain young nation that had help from on high. The outcome was tremendous. The things that we would have called foolish in our time and even if we had lived in those days, in a far away land, from the above individuals that were qualified by heaven to rule and to reign-the Heavenly Father used those same individuals to confound the wise. The way we look at qualifications even down to our GPA's are different in heavens point of evaluation. I've been on the dean's list at my junior level college and at a c-avg. at my university level. I even pulled 2 minors that were both above the avg. of 2.0, one in business and the other in communications. I am so glad that my work in the ministry and as an entrepreneur have both taught me to use God's word to measure and balance my decisions in this life. The first case with the young boy was David better known as King David whom God sent his spirit and anointing on his life as the upcoming king over Israel before the residing King named Saul was off of the throne. It tickled me when I researched the information that surrounded God's choice an approach, because it was the children of Israel who begged Father God to be like all the surrounding nations. These surrounding nations answered to a King and not directly to Father God. What a big mistake-to lust after a middle barrier instead of hearing and obeying (complying) to the creator himself. Well, Father God decided that the first kink that he would allocate to the children of Israel would be in the form of a punishment and that punishments name was King Saul. Father God was so angry with the chosen ones at that point that he sent an evil spirit in place of the anointing that he had originally placed on Saul, while he was still on the throne. Which meant they were left with a mess of a fulfilled request as their king. The second example I would like you to consider is that the young teenage girl that Father looked down through time and chose to send his son through her blood line was the virgin girl Mary-who became the mother of our lord and savior Jesus Christ. What is beautiful in both of these real-life examples are that God's decisions are final. You see we as a people always over or underestimate each of God's choices based on our own biases. We fail to realize that if we were clued on everything known to man then there would be no need for God The Father/The Son of God/or The Holy Spirit. King David-a kid, if you will, officiating over the armies, the elite, and the commoners-as a young boy!!! Mary, Carrying in her womb, the future King of Kings and Lord of Lords-that would hold the governments of all nations on his spiritual shoulders. Umh-Umh-Umh. Please tolerate me a little longer. I was led to think about those examples of greatness-when I thought about my choice to elect Senator Barack Obama as the 2009 Inaugurated President and Senator Joseph Biden as our 2009 Vice-President. Senator Obama is MR. INTERNATIONAL-BY BIRTH AND EXPERIENCE-HE LOOKS BEYOND OUR EXTERIOR CLAY SHELLS KNOWN AS THE HUMAN BODY-AND FOCUSES ON WHAT IS THE NEED THAT LIES INSIDE THE HUMAN. Senator Biden has been one of my favorites for years. I love to watch his excellence and comical ways when he officiates on government panels. When I see him look across the table at those who are being drilled about their activities, I know that he will not rest until the truth (the real skinny) surfaces. America- SENATOR BIDEN IS BRILLIANT-DO NOT PLAY HIM SHORT. I believe in my deepest of intercessory prayers that Heaven is pleased with the way they are running their campaign. May God Bless All of His Children
