Happy Kwanzaa

Happy Kwanzaa Folks!!!

I hope you all had a great Christmas! As you may know this is the last week of 2010. It has been a long time coming and guess what you made it through the year! I pray that next year will be a great time for you. But I come to give you some advice on how to change your new year for the best. We all make new year resolutions if you want to admit it or not. But we all need to know how can we stick to them. I think the best advice I can give you is: TAKE LIFE SECOND BY SECOND. I say that because sometimes we try to rush things and they don't end up like we imagined them. As people we also want to turn over a new leaf but in order to do that you must try to fight temptation, second by second. By that I mean do everything second by second. For example if you want to stop smoking or stop doing drugs count your steps by seconds. Once you do that seconds turn into minutes and they turn into hours and then they turn into days then days turn into weeks and weeks turn into months then months turn into years. Also in order for you to be set free from something then you must know the truth because remember "The truth sets you free." So lets start 2011 off with a bang! God bless and remember the first principle of Kwanzaa is UNITY!

Merry Christmas!!!

Its the Christmas season! So go out and spend time with your family, friends, and the ones you love! Celebrate the birth of Jesus and all the lovely and peaceful things he represents. And if you are not doing anything on Christmas Eve come join me and hundreds of other people at my church to celebrate Christmas. Get info here: www.courageous.tv

Being free

Earlier this week I was sadden by the death of Elizabeth Edwards. She was a great women who worked for the interest of all Americans. She was a great progressive behind-the-scenes leader. She was the wife to a former presidential and vice presidential candidate, John Edwards. But most likely the best virtue about her was that she knew everything about being free. She faced great adversity in her life and that taught her the meaning of freedom and how to be humble. She knew that her husband cheating on her would make her a independent women who was free. She also accepted the truth in that situation. Being free means knowing the truth and as long as you know the truth you will be a free soul.

I would like to end this post with some inspiration for you: Lets all be like Elizabeth Edwards a free, truth knowing, lovable, humble, and behind the scenes leader.

Confessions

Yeap thats right I have 3 confessions for my readers:

1. I really LOVE Jesus!

2. I care for everyone I come in contact with and I wish them well!

3. I really like this girl but the problem is that she already has a man.

Something to get you through your week!

Encourage yourself at all times. Don't give up, in, nor out. When you feel like throwing in the towel and quitting DON'T! Because what you have been hoping, praying, and crying for is right around the corner! And always remember: Everything good that happened GOD did it! -Chadwick Smith

Midterms

Man this was a tough year for democrats. We lost control of the house of representatives and lost six democratic Senators. One reason why this happened was because only 4.7% of black people voted. Now come on people if you don't vote, you don't count. You can't have a voice, if what all you do is sit back and complain. I live in the state of GA and not one Democrat was voted in a statewide government position. Now this is a mess waiting to happen. That means that there are no checks and balances in place. If all three branches of the state government of Georgia are ruled by republicans then that means republicans can put any kind of law in place. So I am calling on all the people of GA to vote in 2012 to put some checks and balances in place so we can save the state of Georgia. And for the People of the United States, in 2012 we have a simple choice to make, to let republicans take full control of the govt. and let them defeat our President Obama who is moving us forward or to let them take us back 50 years in time . (the picture above is the democrat who got the most number of votes in GA., Ken Hodges who ran for attorney general)

Prop 8-Prop Hate

The biggest news of today was not Barack Obama's birthday, or the President of Iran's assassination attempt but the overturn of the ban on Prop 8 which restricted Gay people in California to be married. Right now I sit in a tizzy because i truly don't know where I should stand on this issue. I have always said that a gay partner should have the right to see the other in the hospital when they are dying. And I have always supported legislation that list gay discrimination as a hate crime. But my biblical up bringing tells me that marriage is strictly between a man and a woman. The bible also mentions that a whole town was destroyed because there were some gay men in the town. But that was the old testament and the new one says "to do unto others, as you would want to be done unto you" (I'm paraphrasing) so does that mean to give gay people the right to marry just like I can marry a women? Also gay people don't go to the polls and vote not to let straight people marry but straight people go to the polls and discriminate and vote not to let gay couples marry. But I do think i have one position on this issue. The judge who ruled the case said that the ban on gay marriage was unconstitutional, now that is true! Because in the 14th amendment it says that everyone should have the same liberty as others. So that does mean that gay marriage is legal by the Constitution. But by the Bible's standards its not "moral". But do remember one thing GOD IS A GOD OF LOVE. So if two men or two women love each other, then let it BE.
