Greetings and Salutations and welcome to HPM's Real Talk. This is blog inspired honestly out of a conversation that I had with a co-worker. He suggested that due to my very intellectually opinionated personality (which basically means I don’t shutup about most things) I should start a blog. I was very much so against it at first because the idea of doing a glorified public journal was quite frankly not something I could ever see myself doing. Usually when I express myself it is warranted by conversation and opportunity. Here I would have to just simply (in my opinion) insert myself into the lives of whomever chooses to follow this blog (and by the way thank you for doing so), putting out there for all the thoughts and feelings I hold close to me. I don’t care about the being vulnerable to criticism, I’m a black male who sported a Kat Williams like relaxed hair (down to my shoulders often worn in a ponytail ) from 6th grade till I was 28 years old. I’m definitely no stranger to criticism but I’m not a fan of imposing myself on people. I believe in letting people be themselves even if them doing so goes against what I believe.
So why did I decided to this blog? I decided because one I was told that there would be enough of a following to do so (that remains to be seen and seen in consistency). Really there’s no other reason. I took a poll on facebook and asked all that were in my friends list would they follow it if I started it and enough people said yes. Bottom line is I wasn’t going to pour my heart out and put myself out there on a weekly basis for no one to read it,, be touched by it, and hopefully their life be changed or effected in some way by it. So I created it, the question now is what will it be about?
This blog is going to basically be a weekly blog (not necessarily the same day every week but all new posts will be up Saturday’s end) whose contents won’t just be devotional in nature but I will have God lead inserts that deal with the state of the Kingdom of God that we continually and almost exclusively refer to as the body of Christ. This will be a blog that will look to encourage, correct, edify, instruct, and challenge your faith, ministry, and life to no longer be content with the mundane and ordinary that we as believers have become accustomed to but be elevated and pushed to full fill the purpose that God has called you to. So with that this blog’s essence is all about purpose fulfillment. Everything posted will primarily be to get you closer to your purpose in God and to fulfilling the purpose of God by growing in His love which will cause you to truly love like Him. It was suggested to me that to keep this blog comment free, thereby preserving the purity of the blog and allowing all purposeful negative and outlandish comments from contaminating the blog. I have taken that under advisement and have decided to do just that with this blog. However, at the end of every blog will be my email address, that you will be allowed to comment freely and uncensored to concerning my posts. I will read all emails personally and may even turn some of the emails in to the topics of subsequent posts without exposing your identity. I also like to advise that you as my followers check back with my blog at least every other day as I may open it up over time to an ask me post. Where periodically I will via email take questions concerning either things I have previously posted or just questions you may have in general and post a few of those with responses in an upcoming blog.
I hope that you all will enjoy this blog and that it will bless and enrich your life. Thank you so very much for your support it is greatly appreciated and will not go un-noticed. Grow in God’s peace and abide in His love.
Sincerely Jesse C. Jones
