Rethink with Ayodele

Last night, I was watching a video of Pastor Driscoll and he was reacting to the trailer of the new Netflix movie “Will and Harper”. During his reaction a thought popped on my mind and it’s something I have heard/read different variations of it  — this idea that we all have our truths and we need to be true to ourselves.  I find this very conflicting everytime I hear it… and I question myself on how much should we care about people’s self serving “truths” even when they are not in anyways helping us to become better as a society.  I don’t have answers here but I am very worried we driving our society towards a place where people will do things because they feel like and their defense will be “their truths”. As with every society if the “good” side is unlucky enough to not be popular, we will have a situation where evil will reign and we will not be able to do anything about it.  What are your thoughts on  people’s truth?

I was chatting to a friend recently when I mentioned Dee W Hock to them and to my shock they’ve never heard of Dee. Still, the interesting thing is that we interface with the work Dee dedicated about 40 years of his lifetime to — Visa (the financial technology company that powers 47% of credit/debit cards issued globally).

In addition to his Twitter page, he maintained a very simple website where all his writings were hosted.  A few weeks before my discussion with my friend, I randomly thought about Dee and I went through his X/Twitter account to re-read some of his tweets. At that moment, I remembered his website and wondered how it would be managed.  Well, I checked, and I noticed it’s been redesigned. Now, it serves as Dee’s legacy beyond VISA....

I know it’s been a while but I just randomly thought to share only of my prayers. This prayer is one for accountability and responsibility, and I hope you say these words:  Lord I thank you for the blessings in my life,  I pray I’m not carried away by the bliss thereof that i am not available for your purpose for me.  Help me to know that which you’re doing and help me be a part of it.  All that I have and am, is yours and I pray to be a great steward that’s accountable and responsible for the blessings.  Thank you for answering me always.  Your Son, Ayodele
