The first time I saw Bishop Blake was at my uncle’s funeral in 1983. My uncle was Superintendent J. B. Eliga. And he was a friend to Bishop Blake. I was only 15 years old then and I was so impressed by him. He was still Elder Blake then and I remember in his remarks he apologized for being late to the funeral service. He was at an appointment that he couldn’t miss. But my uncle’s service was just as important to him. And he said he was not going to miss it. In the early days of his ministry at West Angeles, my uncle and Aunt were members there until my uncle was appointed to and installed at his own church. I never forgot the kind words he spoke about my uncle and aunt. After the funeral, he introduced himself to our family and spent as much time as he could with us. I will never forget how gracious and encouraging he was. The next time I saw him was in the 90’s at the annual Mclaney music festival in Southern California. Now, he was Bishop Blake. Although, he was internationally known by this time, he was still the same gracious and humble man that I met at my uncle’s funeral in 1983. Absolutely remarkable!

We're never as strong, as we are until we have to be. Never Do as much, unless the need we see. Only give our best, when we fail at mediocrity. We Love rather than hate when we admit we're one humanity. We always give more, when compassion moves our heart with unbridled generosity. We Become more of our potential when we are made to see, that clearly our minds can believe in unfathomable possibilities, while seizing every opportunity, here in lies one's destiny. More than our scars, higher than our stars, for in our flaws are what defines our features, they're uniquely ours, as human creatures. We can run faster than on our slowest day. Reason better, and thinking it through all the way, regardless which direction our emotions may sway. We can find our voice when speechless, our strong words with meekness and our Courage in weakness. Always patience not quickness. Silence for peace than loudness, quietness of fear, not hopeless, for time and effort are equally unbiased. We are more than the stories we're told, we're the one's we write, each page unfold. We are the sum of our Lies and truth, fantasy, fiction, faith, and myths, no matter how uncouth. These are what shape us, our lives lived is the proof. We can be more right than wrong. More just than judge. More godlike than unlike. Reflecting Sunlight in our darkest night. Providing refuge. Never more alive until we die within and begin again. A Human Ark Divine in our human spark. by Steven Gooden

I was raised COGIC. By way of Chicago. As I got older we relocated, visited ministries. Trying to feel that HOME (Querencia). I attended and later was diagnosed with cancer. I HATE CANCER. I rebuke it back to the pits of Hell from whence it came! During and after treatment. That sat me down and for years struggled with fibromyalgia. It was in those years I held on to EVERY teaching, prayer, song from my youth and that is what got me through. Honestly that is when I grew closer to the Lord. Didn’t mean to go there.☺️ If you have a heart too. Pray for me. At the time I was heavy into all of the fellowshipping that I SO MISS. Bishop Louis Henry Ford and GE Patterson were Bishop. I tried to stay somewhat in the know. Like I am doing now. I became familiar with who GE Patterson was. I love how he taught. The various sermons I listen to from him has been so encouraging. His personality reminds me so much of my home Pastor, Superintendent Eld RC Edwards. I loved him so much! He was a great man of God! We now have a new Bishop! I actually live in Michigan. Bishop Sheard preached at a church in my city that I was vetting. I love a good teacher! I was excited to know he was elected! As I washed dishes, I thought, I don’t know a whole lot about Bishop Blake. I can see that he has been a good leader. When he stood at the mic and spoke. You had no other choice but to listen. But right now, I am learning who the man is. COGIC for Life‼️ This is the Church of God in Christ... This is the Church of God in Christ… Oh you can’t join in… You have to be born in… This is the Church of God in Christ☺️ God bless everyone of you all‼️

Don't Weep For Me in Sorrow but in Joy. To have lived and loved anything or anyone or been loved by anything or someone, means you were given life's highest reward, the Gift of Love, for to have loved and been loved is no greater achievement. Love is too abundant to count, immeasurably measurless in it's bound, it's too wise to comprehend yet infinitely finite in each experience. I've lived to sip tea with her, eat with her, break bread with her. I've walked and ran with her and sometimes just sat beside her. Love wept with me and I with She. We laughed, cried and fought sometimes. We even parted ways but always returned. Love loved in every situation whether poor or rich. In our pain or pleasure, disappointments or surprises. Love was loyal even in betrayal. Whether near or far I always felt her heartbeat and She mine. Love showed up at times as a stranger, other times a friend, every now and then she was the enemy that once was, but never truly was. She was A family member or even a cherished pet. I heard her voice in the woo of the morning dove or the purr of a kitten. She sang to me in the melody of a song or spoke to me in the refrain of a poem. She told me many stories and tales of past present and future journeys and I shared mine with her. We shared our defeats and victories. Our shared suffering only strengthened the bond that tied the both of us together. We rose like a Phoenix from the ashes, freed from the chains of our pride that served to humble us. Thank you Love for every gaze in your eyes, every kiss and embrace. I got to pass you by and breathe your sweet aroma, hear your voice and taste the fruit of your love.I held you as a baby, maybe I was the baby held. We both gave each other life. If I say goodbye first or you to me, it won't matter for our love spans beyond the gap of death. Our Love In any amount is more than any tea cup of one lifetime could hold. My moment with you was an eternity and I am grateful. Don't weep for me in Sorrow but in Joy, for I have tasted Love. We passed in both the light and night of Life. - Steven F Gooden -
