"The Judas Effect"

Recently Bishop OC Allen (thevisionchurch.org) mentioned the fact that Judas played a key role in the life and subsequent death of Jesus Christ. Until I heard Bishop speak and teach on Judas' purpose, I had a different take on negative people in my path. I never fully understood their purpose. However when looking at it from the 'Judas Effect' perspective, things look totally different.

When I think about the recent commentary I wrote on the US military and how racism and sexism still exist, I now realize that the Judas' in my life are real and necessary for my growth and advancement. I tweeted a few days ago about how I think President Obama should continue to allow God to 'expose' his footstools. The specific footstool I'm referencing is that of Donald Trump.

Donald Trump's display of ignorance and hatred (in a timely and likely failed attempt to gain the stature equal to that of our President) will ultimately play a part in the advancement our current Commander In Chief, President Barack Obama. Mr. Trump, in my humble opinion, is President Obama's 'Judas.' President Obama's growth and advancement, as a result of the short lived negativism from Donald Trump, is what I consider to be 'The Judas Effect.'

Be Blessed,

US Military

Today I was reminded of the fact that discrimination and racism still exists in the US Military. Though much less overt, the harsh reality is alive and well today and unfortunately reminds me of the days when I was a Private in the Army over 20 years ago.
This reality is similar to the debate regarding gays and lesbians serving in the US military. I have many opinions on this topic and I will share them over the next several months as I continue on my journey of documenting and publishing the DADT Novel over the next several months.
One of the purposes of this blog site is to provide an open forum for discussion on gays serving openly in the military. I hope you will take this journey with me and provide your opinions; whether good, bad, or indifferent.
Blessings,
