Be What You Claim to Admire

The internet is still buzzing about the comments that Ayesha Curry made about her preference to dress modestly. I’m really confused as to why such a mundane comment sparked any kind of controversy. I actually didn’t see much disagreement to Ayesha’s comments. I saw a lot of support for her opinion. Many of the internet pundits that are…
When Christians Act like Christians

Ayesha Curry, wife of NBA MVP Stephen Curry is trending on Twitter today. She tweeted that she only likes to reveal her body to her husband. I’m unsure why she made that statement because it seems obvious to me that any married woman would make a similar statement. Most of the Tweets in reference to…
I Love Shoes

I really love shoes. I’ve had this fascination with them since childhood. Earlier this fall I decided that I wanted to get rid of all of my shoes and get new ones. I can’t afford to buy all new shoes so I just god rid of some of them and gave them to the…
The Trouble with Modern Dating

One of the many problems that I’ve found with dating in this age is that people forget to try and make a simple connection. I believe that romance can not happen until there is a basis of friendship between two people. That’s not to say that I believe that a man and a woman should…
Black Friday

It’s another Black Friday in the U.S.A. I’ve seen several memes and hash tags on social media encouraging Black Americans to boycott Black Friday this year. Some of the memes are ridiculous and historically inaccurate in their implications. But overall I share their point of view. Black people should not break their necks to throw…
There are Some Good People in the World…Really

Last Wednesday afternoon my car tanked on me. I was running an errand for my job and the car just died as I was turning into the parking lot. It was very frustrating and embarrassing too. The car sat in the middle of the street at an angle until two men helped me by pushing…
We Call Them Street Gangs but They are Really Demonic Cults

Another child has been killed in America’s gang wars. His name is Tyshawn Lee and he was nine years old. Men lured him into an alley way and murdered him because the little boy was thought to be a snitch of sorts. His father is said to have gang ties and he is not cooperating with…
Sick and Tired of Hostility Towards Christians

I use social media frequently and one of the most vocal groups that I regularly encounter are African Americans that are very critical of Christianity. Believing in Jesus Christ is a choice and it is a valid decision to not follow Christ. I understand that everyone has different opinions and different experiences that makes them…
You Never Know What’s Around the Corner

I watched the Kansas City Royals defeat the Houston Astros in a thrilling game this afternoon. The Royals came back to earn a Game Five which keeps their World Series hopes alive. The 2015 Postseason is pretty exciting because there are so many underdogs playing this year. Over the years the Cubs, the Royals, the…
Answered Prayers

I feel guilty about feeling so surprised. I’m a Christian and Bible teaches that if we ask God for something he will give it to us as a blessing. We are supposed to believe in and trust the word of God but sometimes I wonder if we truly believe all of what we claim to…
