It's Not Old School!

Morals (n) - a person's standards of behavior or beliefs concerning what is and is not acceptable for them to do. Values (n) - a person's principles or standards of behavior; one's judgment of what is important in life. I overheard this conversation five years ago: Woman 1:  “Hey girl, how are you doing? Woman 2:  “Hey - - I’m fine girl! I haven’t seen you in years. How many children do you have now”? Woman 1:  “I have four! Woman 2:  “All by the same man? Woman 1: “Girl no! I ain’t that crazy yet”! Woman 2:  (laughs) “Well it was good talking to you”! Woman 1:  “You too! I’ll holler at ya later! Woman 2:  “Alright”! “You take care”! My first reaction was, “Oh Wow”! What does she mean by, “I ain’t that crazy yet”! I pondered on this for a long time after I heard it and I'm still bothered by it today. Morals and values do not change and God does not change; yet our worldly behavior is forever changing in a way that cont...

That'sThe Ratio

We all make mistakes, we are all sinners and none of us are perfect!  Yeah Yeah Yeah is what you are probably saying! Well it is true~ but ~ so is ~ You are perfect in God's eyes, you are made for great things, God's grace is sufficient and brand new every day! He is a God of excellence and wants us to live that life too. T he quality of life I am talking about is not worldly ~ or put in simple terms - - materialistic !  Relationships take work ----such as co-worker relationships, family relationships, and a relationship with  Christ! All relationships are not balanced, because some give 80/20 and others give 60/40. It's like the fat content in hamburger. You all know the 80/20 or the 85/15! The more lean the meat, the better it is for us and our overall health. The more fat is in the meat, the more likely we are to develop poor health~ so it is with Christ - - - the more we read and study the word, the better our lives become! ~ However, He did it ALL!  So if yo...

I'm Determined!

Women are beautiful, valued, precious, and delicate! So why then do we as women, feel devalued, ugly, competitive, and worthless? Go way back in time and seek that answer! It's how society views women and we as women have accepted it! Yet, it does not make us feel good about ourselves, so we seek acceptance and value in all the wrong places ~ several sex partners, eating disorders, striving to obtain that high paying career even if we are not passionate about what it is we are doing ~ or;  "I don't know anything else I can do"!  Bishop T.D. Jakes told a brief story during his sermon, "Divine Expectations", of how on an Africa safari, the Zoologist stated that to rule the jungle, the young lions fight the lion who is already king per say of the pride. Bishop Jakes responded and said, "Oh, so only the strong survive"! The Zoologist said, "No, it is nature's way of making sure the weak lions do not reproduce! WOW ~was my respo...
