Remember back when the days of social media consisted of making your sibling get off of the house phone, so that you could dial-up to AOL Chat? Or logging onto Myspace to check to see if lil shawty from Arizona hit you back yet? I mean, the biggest dilemma you had was trying to explain to why your homeboy, who you hooped with everyday, wasn't in your top friends. These days there's no telling what you'll get sliding down your timeline. Videos of students fighting teachers. Brothers standing in the middle of the street, flashing guns and money. Social media challenges have replaced homework. Because let's face it, there's more family involvement there with hope of going viral. The invasion of of your personal and private cyber life. At least once every couple of months, we're all tuned into another episode of  "DM Gone Wrong: Celebrity Edition", waiting to see what new juice leaks out. Ready to start generating the memes and hashtags; The viral assaul...

In my last post, Who's Really Reforming Healthcare in America? , I left off what with the question: Why was Moses punished for hitting the rock that provided the people with water? This wasn’t the first time that he had struck a rock and provided water for the people. However, it was the second time doing it that kept him from entering into the Promised Land. Now, this is Moses we’re talking about, one of the greatest prophets and leaders that ever lived! Yet despite all of the things he did and how God used him, he still didn’t make it in. Now, this may be a little lengthy, and this only the first part. But if you stick with me until the end, you shall be blessed. Flint, Michigan ., this one is for you. So, having said all of that, let’s get into it shall we?! Float with me on this… Throughout the entire first chapter of Genesis , there is a significant amount of reference and use of water. However, it’s the subtle key emphasis of water that were intriguing to me. Immedia...

After trying to figure out where I was going to go with the follow up to What's Happening To Our Black Men , I checked a few of my social media feeds and I found it. Health Care! Healthcare is a major topic that’s currently going on right now and I thought I’d give my take on it. So with that being said, let’s get into it shall we?!?! My thoughts started me with Moses and the striking of the rock at the Waters of Meribah (Num 20) . Now, quick summary. This passage is most known for the being the cause of Moses not being able to enter into the Promised Land. Within the first month of being in the wilderness, the people got upset with Moses because they had no food or water. They even ask him why would he bring them into the wilderness to die (v.4) .They were almost ready to kill this man! At this point, Moses and his brother Aaron, manage to sneak away from the people. They had to go pray about it lol. God then tells Moses, “Take the staff, and assemble the congregati...

...in the wake of what's happening in #chicago ...ima drop this today There was an article published by The Courier-Times newspaper back in May that caught my attention. It was on the front page of the “Living in Person” section, with the headline: “Students Experience Roaring 20s”. Local homeschoolers had put on show bringing the 1920s “back to life”. Also on the front page, was a picture of a group of kids; all “dressed to the nines as flappers and mobsters.” Machine Gun Kelly, Al Capone, Eliot Ness and Coco Chanel, just to name a few. The article begins by stating that: “It was the era of gangsters, Prohibition, and all that glitters.” It then goes on to tell us about the invention of the juicer. Which they even demonstrated by making lemonade. The students were taught about the art deco style, choosing a “celebrity” of the era and creating their own art pieces. The program ended with a feast from a variety of foods popular in that decade...peanut butter cups, chow mein, C...

After hearing about the Philando Castile verdict, and given the current state that the United States is in, I was confused. Is this what really had come too? How has the African-American community fallen so low, as to be BLATANTLY MURDERED ON-CAMERA , and the killer still walk away? Where has the fight gone!? Baffled and confused myself, I went deep into prayer. I wanted some answers and with no solid black leadership to turn to, there was only one source I could think of. God. Now, this entry may be a little longer than most, but there’s some things that need to be said. HIS response to my question …..???? Float with me on this. “Founded in 1866, the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) extended into almost every southern state by 1870 and became a vehicle for white southern resistance to the Republican Party’s Reconstruction-era policies aimed at establishing political and economic equality for blacks.” The path to my answer sent me directly to my bible. Jesus was the subject, the cru...
