What Manner Of Man Is This?

(Picture Taken By Gerard Bonner-GB Photography)
Words cannot describe what happened last night when Senator Barack Obama came to the Hampton Roads area for the 9th time. What amazed me was the people who were waiting since 6am. As the the hour drew near thousands on top of thousands gathered outside of the Harbor Park Stadium to await the arrival for a man who has captivated the world...Senator Barack Obama. As I was looking outside waiting to go in I was in awe because I was actually a part of history. The stadium holds over 12,000 indivudals BUT it was over 22,000 there. It was like going to a rock concert waiting for Michael Jackson, but we were waiting for the Next President of the United States. The crowd erupted with just the mention of his name, the chants of YES WE CAN, and OBAMA put me in a place where I said to myself "This moment will be in History books for years to come." As he came on stage just the mere sight of him would make one say, "This is Our President, but not only that one of the argue that he is one of the ALL TIME GREATS! His words will captivate you and inspire you. He has put in our mental capacity that if we feel like there is something we cannot do...we are wrong about it because YES WE CAN!

An AMAZING NIGHT!

Good People, about a month or so ago Pastor John P. Kee called me and told me that he wanted to bring the Gospel Refief Tour to the Hampton Roads area. Her insisted that we made it happen. So after talking to my father he decided to do it in conjunction with the situation going on @ the Tabernacle Christian Church. (Read about it on www.hotjoyradio.com) To make this as short as possible, as we were in preparation John called me and said "Ju, you have some haters." Some local promoters were upset that John did not go to them. I laughed because I thought about what my brother Earl Bynum told me "Favor aint fair, but it is Justifiable." SO TO ALL THE HATERS....Last night was ORDAINED by GOD!!! It was NOT to make the almighty dollar. Having said that, I had the esteem priviledge to introduce John on last night (You know.....JU JOYNER STYLE BABY!) John came on stage and the 1st thing he said "They said we were not going to come." The crowd erupted!!! The reason for that was there was a rumor that John has a habit on not showing up for concerts. GOOD PEOPLE JOHN KEE WAS THERE! He gave me some encouraging words while he has on stage. THEN THE REAL JOHN P. KEE went to work. I mean singing hit after hit John and New Life wrecked the stage for about 2 HOURS!!! The highlight of the evening was John's giving spirit. He 1st gave some money to a gentleman who was praising the lord. I mean everything in ONE of his wallets. He then asked the crowd to put $ on the pulpit/stage for the church to be a further blessing to the church. And he was the 1st to put money there. HERE IT COMES GOOD PEOPLE!! John saw a lady walking across to her seat and when she sat down John asked her "HOW MUCH IS YOUR MORTGAGE PAYMENT?" She was an elderly woman (a member of the church for over 50 years) and she could not understand what he asked, so she replied "I OWE $4,000." John replied " I WAS GONNA PAY YOUR MONTHLY PAYMENT....BUT IMA PAY OFF YOUR HOUSE!" The crowd lost it!!!
John told the crowd that he was looking for a harvest, so he wanted to plant some seeds.
Last night was amazing good people and I am ready to goto the next level. The John P. Kee concert was the greatest concert I have ever been to. He was and is a blessing. Holla @ me! jujoyner@gmail.com

Enough is Enough

Okay people, maybe I should have not done my SoUNDoFF's until I got paid 1st. See, I am being taken advantage of in the worst way! I WILL NOT SAY NAMES but I have yet to be paid by 2 artists for SoUNDoFF's I created. I want to give one the benefit of the doubt because it is still the top of the month. And I will be overJOYed when when they bless me. The other artist has to know that I want to TESTIFY from the blessing given to me. Better yet, since I know that the artist serves an ON TIME GOD then they should know that I would love to have my money on time!
Don't get me wrong good people I am not money hungry, but I was pressured to do the job, so why do I have to wait for my money? Hey! This is how I Feel. Peace
