Bishop T.D. Jakes & Media Mogul Tyler Perry Plan to Buy 132 Acres of Georgia’s Fort McPherson…

Hello World,

Bishop T.D. Jakes & media mogul Tyler Perry will continue to expand their respective empires as they plan to buy 132 acres of former Army base Fort McPherson, which is located in metro Atlanta! Although both men are buying property in the same area, it’s not a joint project according to what I’ve read. See an excerpt of the Atlanta Business Chronicle article by Byron E. Small below.

Atlanta film mogul Tyler Perry and religious leader, author and film maker T.D. Jakes have reached a deal to buy a total of 132 acres at the former Fort McPherson.

The Fort Mac Local Redevelopment Authority board today voted unanimously to accept a proposal from Tyler Perry and Tyler Perry Studios to purchase another 37.5 acres of the existing Fort McPherson property, according to an announcement.

The board also approved the sale of 94.5 acres for future development to the T.D. Jakes Real Estate Ventures group. The Fort McPherson LRA in March said it had begun negotiations with Jakes.

The parcel being acquired by Perry sits on the south side of the existing Fort McPherson LRA property between Tyler Perry Studios current entrance and Lee St.

The Gift of Powerlessness…The Paradox…

Hello World,

It’s been a while since I’ve written an introspective post, a post that captures my inward being instead of posts about events of the day or the people that I find fascinating or various and worthy initiatives…

But introspective is how I am feeling right about now so here is what flows…Over the past couple of weeks, I have experienced some events in my life that have reminded me that no matter what achievements I have accomplished, no matter how optimistic I am in general, no matter how many people I have in my corner and on and on…at the end of the day, I’m powerless…and it’s alright. It’s even a gift…Think about it…None of us are even in control of the next breath we take, and so when life reminds me of that, I am forced to cling to God yet again and acknowledge apart from God, I can do nothing…And yet, with God, I can do everything…

And I think trials of our own making or random events of evil or even delays in blessings come (filtered through the loving-kindness of Jehovah-Shammah) to remind us it is God, not us, that controls our destiny. Over the past 6-7 months, I have found myself in a near constant state of “gotta do this, gotta do that,” and as things have happened, I can sometimes think that things are happening because of all my activity…And while I may have tended to my garden, it is only God that has given the increase…Trust. The moment I get that thing twisted, something or someone reminds me that it’s all God and none of me…

That’s why I love this video that Tyler Perry created on how to be successful. He acknowledges that it is only the grace of God that has allowed him to achieve his success…

And it seems that Tyler Perry is experiencing one of those events that reminds us of our powerlessness…the fire at his beautiful studios last week. We cannot prevent the calamities that happen in our lives from time to time, but we can see the calamities for what they are – opportunities to recognize that we are powerless, but with God, we are powerful and capable of enduring and overcoming…What a gift! And I always have to reclaim my favorite Bible verse Romans 8:28. And we know that in all things (good and bad) God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
