GOD Is Good

GOD Is Good

I’m not a religious person, but I am a spiritual person who believes deeply in GOD.  I don’t go around quoting the bible or saying “Praise the Lord,” but I do give praise, daily – several times a day – for all that I have and all that I know the Lord protects me from.

And after I’m done thanking my Higher Power, I get to work, trying to create what it is that I want out of life.  I don’t feel I have to “fellowship” or convert evildoers who do not believe what I believe, nor do I judge the women I date based on their religion.  Sure, I may take a second look if a woman told me she didn’t believe in God or a Higher Power, but it’s not for me to judge her

However, most religious zealots spend their lives judging others based on their religious beliefs and practices, ignoring the very scriptures they’re supposed to be “living.”  And that’s the problem with people who hide behind religion, using the bible and or God, or whomever their Higher Power is, to place themselves on a pedestal, superficially above their insecurities and doubts.

My name is Walter Hilliard III. I have a B.S. degree in Public Administration and a Masters in Psychology (specialty in Media Psychology). I’m currently seeking publishers for a book focusing on Black Self-Destruction and two inspirational eBooks, having already published a multitude of articles in several different newspapers and magazines over the years. I’ve been a head basketball coach on the high school and college level, and taught success classes at a private college, created numerous community and college programs focusing on leadership, mentoring, college awareness (for inner-city kids), and employment and training. And I have worked as an employment and training manager, family therapist, behavior specialist, college retention specialist, juvenile detention center treatment supervisor, and a contractor, facilitating relationship and marriage education groups for couples. The purpose of Universal Soul Power is to confront negative media messages about African Americans, proliferate positive messages about the Black community, and inspire all those who are part of the universe, but especially African Americans, through my inspirational writings. The truth is that most African Americans haven’t lost their Spiritual Souls, yet (although some of us behave like we’ve lost our minds), but we have lost our “Soul” — that NewRhythmandBluesyContemporaryHipHopSoul that allows us to be compassionate, productive leaders who recognize what really matters in life and live our lives beyond fad terms like “Swag,” instead embracing more fulfilling concepts like being Calm, Cool, and Collected, and knowing what they are all about: being your “growing self,” dancing to your own Life Drum, in tune, on beat, unfazed by fear, and leaving the world a better place when they move on. Now dat’s Real Soul, and dat’s whatum talkin’ ’bout! Walter L. Hilliard III
