This was one of my first sermons years ago. Sometimes I can be my own worst enemy. 

At the time I did the message I hated it. Not because of the content because of the mechanics I was trying out.  This is the reason why you should always be yourself, because what's good for the geese isn't always good for the gander.

5 years later, (today) I listened to it deciding whether or not I should post it. And well you already know the answer but today I smile and laughed and said, it wasn't as bad as I first thought. 

See sometimes the things we do a one point may seem difficult and you may think you messed up. Then years from now you will look back at that thing and say it was necessary 

On March 4, 2017 I had to preach a Eulogy for a mother figure in my life, my Best Friend Mother. 

What's funny about this is when i became a licensed minister she always told me I was her pastor and I would preach her funeral.  We joked about all the time. I would tell her she needed to be in someone church and she would tell me why I get prayer and the word from you everyday.  

She was from a part of Miami that we call Overtown. Which is known for everything bad and have been seen on the first 48 tv show.  I had did business and lived in the area for over 15 years. I did drugs there and  when I almost had my first overdose she and her daughter kick down my door and saved me.  Right after here mom curse me out something decent.  I bond had grown from there. 

We never know the impact on people lives we have, or the reason we are in people lives. She saved my life and I was a part of her transition. 

This is the actual Eulogy, so there will be yelling a clapping but I hope the parts that you can hear touch you to look at your situation differently.
