Brother Isaiah Small, keep your hands up.

So I titled this exhortation, Keep Your Hands Up.

And after I tell this story, y'all will eventually come to see why.

So a couple of weeks ago, my brother, Ishmael, gave an amazing exhortation.

And he talked about picking up an old hobby again and the lessons he learned from paying what he calls wood tax at the roller skating rink.

So after I heard his exhortation, it actually inspired me to reflect on a hobby that I picked up and the spiritual lessons that I learned from that as well.

So unlike my brother, I am not a roller skater.
