There has been a lot of bad news lately. Two up and coming rappers both killed on the same day XXXTentacion and Jimmy Wopo. Then the teenager who was murdered in the Bronx in a case of mistaken identity Lesandro Guzman-Feliz. Also the shooting and killing of five people in Maryland. We should all be truly grateful for each day that we live to see a new horizon. Give a kind word to someone who you feel is in need. Lend a helping hand to someone that is experiencing a hard time. Tell someone that you love them. We are all only here for a moment and tomorrow is not promised. So be a blessing to someone if you can. Don't hold onto anger or bitterness. Be able to forgive and move forward. Let the light that God placed inside of you shine bright. Have a blessed day and remember to always put God first in your life.

Hello everyone, it's been quite a while since I posted but believe me I have been busy. There are not enough hours in the day. I would like to remind you to stay positive no matter what you may be going through. Sometimes life is hard and we lose our way. But keep your eye on the prize, stay focused, don't let anything or anyone distract you from your goals. Struggle builds character and makes you a stronger person. Do you know those people who always look for others to bail them out of their situations or who constantly whine, the ones who have no sense of responsibility. These are weak individuals and they seldom can overcome a drastic situation. They fall apart or have a meltdown. This is because their whole lives they have relied on the strength of others rather than their own. It's like if you go to the gym everyday to work out your muscles grow bigger and stronger. The same applies to your mind and your inner strength. If you don't use them they become weak and are no longer able to stand much pressure. You have to be strong and fearless through life's struggles and get up when you fall down. No one ever said the road would be easy but remember God is always on your side and he will see you through. Have faith in yourself and your Heavenly Father. Remember that all things work for the good of those who love the Lord. That's all for now. Have a blessed and prosperous day and remember to always keep God first in your life.

Hello everyone, it's been a minute since I've posted. Been very busy. But I had to comment on the controversy surrounding the film Noah, which I have already seen. It is a very good movie and I'm sure you won't be disappointed. But I have heard numerous criticisms in the media about the film such as threats of a Christian boycott. Also The United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Bahrain have banned the movie because it depicts a prophet, which, as Danish cartoonists will attest, isn't the peachiest of ideas in certain circles. This is all ridiculous as far as I'm concerned and only serves to take away from the true purpose of the movie. Do you ever notice how every time someone tries to do something that brings attention to God, the devil tries to stir up ignorance? I mean these same people talking negatively about the movie are the same ones who will run to see Paranormal Activity or Oculus, movies that glorify demons and demonic activity. People do not seem to appreciate the significance of getting these biblical stories out there for those who really need to see them. When Passion of the Christ came out there was a boycott as well. It truly saddens me to know that no one complains about all of the devilish movies that hit the screen but rather criticize biblical movies over their accuracy.
If you haven't seen the movie yet, I urge you to do so because it is very interesting and whether or not you agree with the details it will not disappoint you. Give the director credit for at least thinking about God or knowing enough about the Bible to have made it.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. That's all for now, have a blessed and prosperous day and always remember to put God first in your life.

Hello everyone. I just had birthday and can you believe that someone broke into my car and tried to steal it? They popped out my ignition and broke the mobilizer module. Now I have to spend $600 to get it fixed. So much for a happy birthday. I am so annoyed with people who are too lazy to work and buy their own things but prefer to steal yours. But anyway on a better note I would like to remind everyone that sometimes in life we experience unexpected hardships whether at our own fault or someone else's but we must always remember that troubles don't last always and that God does not put more on us than we can bear. So no matter what you may be going through, trust that God will see you through. Although I go through struggles sometimes I have faith that I will always prevail. I know that struggles only make me stronger as an individual. So do not allow anyone to steal your joy and do not allow other people to dictate your mood. Be the individual that you are meant to be and strive for excellence in all that you endeavor. Pray for those who use or do not appreciate you for they will reap what they sow. Thank God for each day that you live and try to be better each day than you were before. Remember there is always room for improvement. Remember to pray because prayer changes things. And if you can't change the world then change the way you see the world. As always be blessed and prosperous and most importantly always keep God first in your life.

Hello everyone, thanks for stopping by. As black history month comes to a close I would like to reflect on an eye witness to history. Mr. Dosh Jackson is 103 years old. What a blessed and lengthy life he has lived. Born Feb. 22, 1911, in Macon, GA, Jackson is the father of four children and has six grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. Jackson has lived through the civil rights movement until the election of a black President. He has surely seen a lot in his lifetime. What is significant about your life? What have you contributed to the world in your time here on this earth? It is not how long you live but what you do with the time you live that matters. Jesus died at 33 and did much more than any of us could hope to achieve. Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King died at 39 and accomplished so much in his short time here. So remember that while it is a blessing to live a long life it is more of a blessing to leave your mark on the world. Dare to make a difference. Be extraordinary and make the life that you live one that has meaning. Don't waste your days doing idle things that serve no purpose or have no value. Embark on endeavors that will create a place in history that leads people to sing your praise and that will have others remember you in the years to come. Who are you in this world? You are a child of the almighty God and he has many expectations of you. Do the impossible, live your dreams, contribute something worthwhile to the world in the time you have left. Be a blessing to someone if you can. God will reward you tenfold. The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be. –Ralph Waldo Emerson. As always be blessed and prosperous and always keep God first in your life.

Hello everyone, I'm perplexed that Michael Dunn was found guilty of second degree attempted murder in the killing of Jordan Davis. Three of the ten shots that Dunn fired struck Davis is his liver, aorta, and lung. Davis died so how in the hell is that attempted murder? The definition of attempted murder is when a person has the intention of murdering someone but for some reason, the victim is not killed. Whether its because they ends up surviving, or the perpetrator never got the opportunity to kill them, either way they didn't die, and that is attempted murder. If not for the seriousness of this matter it would almost be laughable. These people and (by that I mean non-blacks), in Florida are literally getting away with murder. I'ts ok to kill young black men no matter how trivial the reason I suppose. If blacks start killing whites under the same circumstances there would be multiple charges filed I'm sure. Young black men are being executed everyday and nothing is being done about it. How long will we continue to allow them to get away with this? Should we try to change the laws? Do we take matters into our own hands? What is the remedy? We have a black President but have we really come any further as a people? I think not. And after the confrontation in which Dunn claims he was defending himself because he thought he saw a gun (no gun was found in Davis' vehicle)Dunn then rather than calling the police to report the incident left the gas station and drove to his hotel, about three miles away. There, Dunn walked his dog, ordered a pizza, then drank rum and cola. As if nothing had happened. Dunn faces a lengthy sentence on all of the counts and while that is justice, he should have been found guilty of 1st degree murder as this was clearly premeditated. He deserves life with no parole. Have a blessed and prosperous day and remember to keep God first in your life.

Hello all, I was just watching the news and heard how Dr. Reverend Martin Luther King's children are in court fighting over his Bible and Noble Peace Price. It is so sad that it has come to this and I am sure that Dr. King is rolling over in his grave. His sons want possession of the items to sell and his daughter wants to keep them. I am so sorry for her. It's a shame what some people will do for money. Somethings are priceless and sentimental value is worth much more than money. These items should remain in the family as a part of his legacy. The fact that greed has allowed his sons to try to profit from this is scandalous. Some people have no shame. They should respect their father's memory and cherish what was notably two of his most prized possessions. The Bible tells us that the love of money is the root of all evil, well this is a prime example. I hope that the judge does not allow these items to be sold. I'm sure that his sons are not hurting for money. Always remember that pride, respect, honor, loyalty, and dignity are worth more than silver and gold. Mark 8:36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? These items should be passed on to his grandchildren and great grandchildren some day. So often people get caught up with money but when the money is spent what will you have left? Never sell yourself short nor be a sellout because in the end you will get short changed. As always have a blessed and prosperous day and remember to always keep God first in your life.
