- About Me:
I'm interested in my Heavenly Papa who has always loved me, my best friend my Lord Jesus, and my legal counsel, power and companion the Holy Spirit. Through knowing and abiding in them daily, everything has become seriously interesting for me!
Take more than a minute to consider Jesus, because he came so that dead people might be alive...yeah, like its supposed to be, Jesus THE LIFE inside of you. It's a dangerous universe without THE LIFE inside.
Ephesians 1:4 (AMP) Even as [in His love] He chose us [actually picked us out for Himself as His own] in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy (consecrated and set apart for Him) and blameless in His sight, even above reproach, before Him in love.
Me and my wife Nalinee go to New Creation Church in Singapore. Each week Pastor Joseph Prince and the corps of pastors preach and teach of God's grace. God's love for us is complete, no longer imputing sin to those who are included in Christ. In Christ we are brand new creations, born of the incorruptible seed of the Word of God (1 Peter 1:23), and sealed by the Holy Spirit. Under the constant washing of the Word of God, I am living the love Jesus has for me and my family, so I walk with Jesus! Hallejujah!
I am the proud father of Hanan Jimrai Barrett, my 8 year old son. He is the apple of my eye, and the Lord is using him to help me become a more complete person on several levels. Hanan is just finishing his last term in primary 2 (second grade) after the glories of first grade, two years of kindergarten, and a year of play-school. 5 years of school already...wow! The boy is bold and truly my favorite person on earth. I have been active in his primary education, participating in school activities with gusto. A while back, we performed a musical cooking show entitled "Fun with TrieCat" for Octoburst Children's day at the Esplanade in Singapore. We dressed up like cats, cooked food and played music. Hanan is a joyful child, and a joy to me.
I'm a musical late bloomer, still growing with no end in sight. Hallelujah! I love jazz, particularly bebop, but these days I am writing music in what I call a New World Jazz Gospel Style. I have studied musicians/composers like Billy Harper, John Coltrane, Wayne Shorter, Mingus, Bach, Michael Brecker, Joe Henderson, Ellington, Basie, Herbie Hancock, Hezekiah Walker, Stanley Turrentine and the list will continue. There are so many genres and style that it's overwhelming to list them. I like everything from Blue Grass to Jazz.
I don't like "HATE MUSIC", or "YOU OWE ME SOMETHING MUSIC", because it generally has no respect for God or people. I understand angst...but that's not my bag baby. Down with HATERS...God has given us all access by his grace (favor), to prosperity and righteousness in Jesus Christ.
I most enjoy meeting Papa and Jesus in the Spirit each day. I also want to meet Caleb, King David, Jonathan, Abraham, Nehemiah, King Solomon, Queen Vashti and Esther. I also want to meet Elijah, Paul the Apostle, Martin Luther King, Mahalia Jackson, Booker T Washington, Duke Ellington, John Coltrane, Scott Joplin, Andre Agassi, Christian athletes great and small, and more than these, people who abide in the Lord Jesus and have the hand of the God with them.
The Bible contains God's love story to mankind, and the loving legal redemption of mankind through the death and resurrection of Jesus the Christ. Mankind has been redeemed from death and separation from God, and the rebellious angelic being called Lucifer has lost his power on anyone who accepts Jesus finished work at the cross. It's the greatest true story ever told for those who have an ear.

Summer Monopoly Disputes And The Sexual Journey by Otrie Barrett Jr
Summer Monopoly Disputes And The Sexual Journey by Otrie Barrett Jr
Summertime in Virginia during the early 1970's was time well spent visiting the approved neighborhood kids' homes till their parents came back home. We hosted our own day festivities till the home dinner sirens went off with sayings like, "It's dinner time, please invite your friends to go home", or the standard unceremonious and resounding Momma bell, "It's Dinner Timmmmmmmmmmmmmmeh"!

Affirmation In Season by Otrie Barrett Jr
Affirmation in Season
Love for you there is
but this longing
wisdoms ponder
success requires
Tarry, lie low, hold back
and lean not to the contrary
though passion begs consideration
Loves deferral means not
the absence of preparation
but the consideration
of true loves offer
What concessions make you
at the table of loves offer so true?
A man so true
whose heart says love
love me do, through loves tarry… Continue

As a young teen, experiencing the need for more freedom, I began to crave my own hard earned cash, because it was a lifestyle free from asking for it, and that felt great. I was a busy working kid throughout my entire secondary school life, which was 7th to 12th grade. I worked for Peoples Drug store, Montgomery Wards department store, sold chocolate, oranges, grapefruit, Christmas trees, di… Continue

Jesus Daddy Is My Daddy by Otrie Barrett Jr
Jesus Daddy Is My Daddy by Otrie Barrett Jr
The more I realize or seek God's (My Father) gift of righteousness in Jesus Christ, the more my prayers automatically agree with the Holy Spirit thus bringing me to see the Lords favor that I already have. When I realized that many of my prayers have been asking God for what I already have received in Christ, I began to really believe that God would provide the desires of my heart for his glory.
The Lord said, he would take… Continue

Agree With The Word Of God by Otrie Barrett Jr
Agree With The Word Of God by Otrie Barrett Jr
You have to call yourself blessed in Christ. Meditate on what He has given you already, and the authority you have been given to live the abundant life. Occasionally I get depressed, but I now know it's really a challenge to a seed of the Word of God sown in me. As I was on the way back from the grocery store one day, I started to feel this heavy tearful oppression, and immediately I asked the myself if there was any other day more glo… Continue
