Is Your Soul 4 Sale?

"I sold my soul to the devil."

Some of the world's most talented artists have said those words, especially when someone asks them how it is that they became so creative and so talented.

At what price do you sell your soul for wealth and fame, and how much is it worth to you to put someone else in harm's way in exchange for whatever it is you want badly enough to do it?

Was it worth it? Do you have what you want? What do you do when it's gone? What do you do for an encore?

The Joshua Generation is that generation of people who are direct frontline beneficiaries of the Moses Generation - all of those who directly benefitted from the work and sacrifices of the Civil Rights Movement and are more than likely grandparents and even great-grandparents by now. Born between the Baby Boomer years of 1935 and 1970, we are the parents of the GenX'ers, Generations Y and are about at grandparent age for the Millennials, who began to be born at the turn of the 20th century ... Years 1998 and later. Many around our age have apologized for "dropping the ball" on the Civil Rights Movement and going for the okey-doke of the freedom of living the let's get high and party lifestyle, but many of us did not drop the ball - we were just very very alone in trying to continue the work that had already been set before us. Here we are now, with plenty of challenges that still remain undone and many lies that have been told that need to be untwisted and set upright. How do we do it and how much time do we have left to make up for what was left undone, or even how our children were left wide open and miseducated on our watch?
