God bless everyone visiting this page...been away for awhile mainly because MySpace is trying to take over the Internet...LOL...so there are not too many folks here anymore...and the other problem was that I couldn't access my page for a while because BP wants to imitate MySpace and created access problems in the process. LOL.

My dad recently passed away from complications associated with pancreatic cancer and its treatment. Since African-Americans are especially susceptible to this kind of cancer, and funding for this kind is lacking, I would ask that you would join me and my family by donating annually to the cause to find a cure for pancreatic cancer. Please consider donating to this cause at Johns Hopkins : http://www.path.jhu.edu/pancre as/

The darqueknight has come in shining armour (and a pic) and is ready to whisk one special princess away into the paradise of his spiritual, passionate, and romantic love. One thing you should know about me is that I just love animals, especially dolphins.





I enjoy a number of things, which include, but are not limited to, fine dining, watching and playing sports like basketball and tennis, and treating my woman like the queen she is at ALL times. Are you ready for me? Can you handle being loved beyond your wildest dreams? We`ll see :-) And ladies, please understand that I am indeed an intelligent brotha (two degrees so far) and I like thinking women. I am currently in the process of teaching NT Greek online. But I also have common sense and what can be called "street smarts." :-) So don`t get anything twisted...lol.





Please excuse the fact that my pic is not the best quality, but I assure you I look much better than the pic can show. But more importantly, I am a person with a "heart of gold," who does a good deal of volunteer work for church, youth and homeless organizations. A good heart is far better to have than a model`s face or figure, because one can always be taken away while the other is eternal.



Keep coming back...the darqueknight can and will get deep...deeper and still deeper...can you swim with me? Let`s see...



Something to think about:





In the office where I worked, there was an inspirational picture on the wall with the words,



"P.E.R.S.E.V.E.R.E On the road to success, you can be sure of one thing...There is never a crowd on the extra mile."



Things I`ve noticed on BP:

1. Women who like to show too much "flesh" online and turn around and complain when guys notice and make remarks about it...lol. Ladies, please take notes...if you want a man to notice your mind or spirit, stop showing him just your body. You`re sending the wrong message whether you know it or not. In psychology it is a well known fact that men in general are more visual than women. We like to "see" a woman looking beautiful and sexy. I`ll be the first to admit I like seeing a woman in a nice dress and heels lookin sooo good, as God made her to look to us. But if you really want an intelligent and good man to notice more than your body, then post some original and creative things online that will make "us" take notice of things other than pics of you wearing almost nothing. Don`t let me start preachin up in here...up in here...LOL.



2. Way too many so-called lesbians and bi-sexuals goin buck wild. How about we learn something from Jesus, who said: "Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning made them male and female, and said,`For this reason a MAN shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his WIFE, and the two shall become one flesh`" (Matthew 19:4,5, emphasis added). Let`s keep it "real" with the Divine order of things. Don`t hate...regenerate and renew your mind and heart. :-) Don`t get mad at me. I`m just repeating what the Creator said. Get mad at Him. LOL.

And you all KNOW God is displeased with all this so-called "gay marriage" going on. Christians, and all other God-fearing people, stand up and be counted and make your voice heard! This ungodly attempt to degrade the sacred institution of marriage must be fought. If God wanted these people to "marry" and procreate from such a union, then He would have given "same-sex" couples the ability to procreate biologically. Well, wonder of wonders, that was rendered impossible by the Creator. Come on, people, you don`t need to be a brain surgeon to figure out the message in that. Vote and write letters to your legislature. San Francisco Christians STAND UP!


UPDATE: Apparently the law of California has been upheld,and all those so-called marriages of same-sex couples have been dissolved. Thank God some folks have sense in San Fran.

Unintelligent Decision on Intelligent Design:

IN THE NEWS: On December 21, 2005, a federal judge in a case involving a Dover, PA school board recently ruled that allowing a one minute statement questioning evolution and referring students to a book on intelligent design is "unconstitutional." Yet it is interesting that the very document that preceded the Constitution and was the basis for it, the Declaration of Independance, speaks of the "Creator," or the intelligent Designer. So how can it be "unconstitutional"?

The judge also ruled that intelligent design was not science. So I guess we cannot determine that our computers, cars, boats, planes, and buildings were the products of intelligent design from science, if that`s the case. The human mind is far more advanced than a computer, and yet the complexities of the human brain and body had no designer? Nonsense. Perhaps this judge should get a degree or two in science before making sweeping and ridiculous claims about a field of science he obviously knows little about.

I`ve been really busy of late so I haven`t had much time to update. But since what I`ve said is so relevant I decided not to change much. One thing I do want to add is that we seem to have gone astray in how we raise our women. We teach them how to get their hair done, their nails done, their toes done, but we seem to have forgotten the most important thing: how to get their hearts "done." Ponder on that one until I elaborate next time...

3) Women who try so hard to be "sexy" and "fine" outwardly but forget that the most important thing a real man needs is a woman of character and integrity. If you don`t have those, I don`t care how sexy you think you look (or might even be), or how many magazine covers you`ve been on. True, you can GET his attention with looks, but you can`t KEEP a good man`s attention with just good looks and a smile. Remember, age makes all looks fade in time.


Relationships, whether intimate or otherwise, are supposed to be reciprocal; meaning that both parties are to participate equally in the relationship. One-sided relationships are not true relationships. And some of you wonder why you can`t seem to find a good man who will love you the way you want and deserve to be loved? Yeah, some men are crazy, but you have to really take a hard look in the mirror if you seem to always choose those kind of men. Is there something you`re missing? Something you need to change? Think about it.



In the meantime, I think the Bible is instructive and gives women practical advice on what to focus on:

"Do not let your beauty be that outward adorning of arranging the hair, of wearing gold, or of putting on fine apparel; but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible ornament of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God" (1 Peter 3:3-4). And I might add, it is precious in the sight of good, real men too. :-)



Now of course this passage isn't saying women should never get their hair done or never wear gold or never wear fine clothes. It's simply making the point that these thing should not be the FOCUS of your attention. I can't tell you how many "fine" women who dressed well I have run into in my life, but I would NEVER marry them because of their selfish heart and attitude. So, let us all learn to focus on what's most important: character.



Things Are Not Always As They Seem:



I`d like to share some words of encouragement that God gave me. Many times we go through things that we don`t understand. The righteous seem to suffer for no reason, while people who live sinful lives on a daily basis seem to be living in mansions. I won`t mention any names in the Hip-Hop/rap music community because it simply isn`t necessary. There are clear excesses that they don`t even try to hide.



Yet even David the psalmist recognized the fact that we should not envy the workers of iniquity, for they shall soon be cut down like grass (Psalm 37:1,2). In that same chapter God used David to remind us that "A little that a righteous man has is better than the riches of many wicked" (37:16).

God seems todelight in showing up "just" when we need Him, when things seem like they are at there worst. But God wants us to understand that in His economy, things are not always as they seem.



A few examples help us with this point. In Genesis we read of a man named Joseph who suffered greatly, initiated by the jealously of his own brothers (Genesis 37). Yet even more problematic is the fact that this jealousy was a reaction to the gift of prophetic dreams that God had given Joseph. A gift of God leading to bad things happening? Say it isn`t so...



We even find that Joseph became homeless and destitute, and was even sold into slavery by those same brothers. Yet despite how things seemed, God was with Joseph (and Jospeph with God) all the time, and ultimately revealed His higher purpose in allowing (key word) all that had befallen him. God made Joseph, through divine providence, the second in command in the most powerful nation at that time (Genesis 41). Things did look bad for Joseph. Some people may have thought he would not "amount to anything." But God had aplan...and things were not as they seemed.



I am also reminded of Moses and the children of Israel after they left the bondage of Egypt and were caught between the water and Pharaoh`s army. Did God bring them out of bondage only to die at the hands of the army or to drown trying to flee? No. Things were not as they seemed. God used that situation to demonstrate His power in times of crisis. If there were never a crisis, there would never be anything for God to deliver us from. It is rather logical when you think about it. As the old saying goes, "If you never had a problem, you would not know God could solve them." (Exodus 14).

And finally, in John`s Gospel we read about a rather strange situation. People send a message to Jesus asking Him to come and heal a man named Lazarus. Yet Jesus deliberately did not go when He was called. Did Jesus not care? Was He being cruel? Was He impotent? Was He (apparently) non-existent, as some atheists would have us believe? No. Things were not as they seemed. Jesus had a plan. His plan was to give the people MORE than what they had asked for. They wanted Lazarus healed before he died, but Jesus wanted to raise Lazarus from the dead after he died. But for that to happen, Lazarus, logically, had to be allowed to die (John 11).

The point of all this is that when we face life`s problems and things seem so bad that there is no hope and no way out, we need to remember that with God ALL things are possible. Especially if we are lovers of God and serve Him from a pure heart, God is on our side and will not forsake us in times of trouble. No money in the bank? No problem. Pray for it. It will come. Too many bills and not enough salary? No problem. God can help you handle that too. Can`t find a good man or woman? No problem, but we need to reallly pay attention when God reveals who that person is, or miss the "boat." But no matter what the problem or concern is, things are not always as they seem.

I am reminded of a story that recently appeared in the Ebony magazine of January 2004. It was about a man named Tyler Perry, who had gone from homelessness to a 5 milion dollar mansion. He gave the glory to God, and you should see this house. It is a wonder to behold. But yet there was a time when such would have seemed impossible for Mr. Perry.



And one final note I feel necessary to say because too many women seem to have a problem with brothas that seem to be going nowhere. If you can`t stand by a man when he`s down and homeless like Mr. Perry was, then you should check your character very seriously if NOW all of a sudden you`d like to date Mr. Perry. There are many brothas out there that will follow his path, and we don`t need superficial sistas who can`t see the true spiritual blessings in the MAN before the physical blessings manifest. In other words, if the heart is right, the rest will follow.
