I’m diverting a little to this particular song, not because it’s sexy, but because it’s all about taking care of the lover in your life. This young woman hasn’t received the credit she deserves. Jill is very talented, not only can sing, she can truly act. Society has misplaced values on full-figured women. There is nothing wrong with a woman who has some extra meat on her in all the right places. She can’t help it if she’s big-boned. She carries herself well, respect herself, and expect others to respect her, too. Jill seemed to have lost weight to be accepted, the same that Jennifer Hudson had to do. It’s a shame that we still value people by the way they appeal to us. We forget what they have to do to maintain good health and prolong their time with us.
We often look for excuses when things don’t go our way, shifting the blame onto others instead of taking responsibility for our own choices. But excuses only grow stronger the more we feed them. This same pattern shows up when it comes to doing what’s right—we stay silent, waiting for someone else to step forward, rather than holding ourselves accountable. “What’s your excuse now?” is a challenge to stop hiding behind hesitation and a sense of true comfort in our own skin.

I Feel Like Going On!
Let’s give credit to the Mississippi Mass Choir for their version, I Feel Like Going On. Where the author got Home from, I don’t know. I don't know why I went back and listened to these old songs. God knows just what I need and when I need it. No matter how far we've drifted from the Lord, He's always there. He loves us more than we will ever know, even more than a mother’s love. Thank you, Lord, Your mercy endures forever!

Domestic Violence!
This video says it all about the possible consequences of conflict. Unfortunately, this is reality. There are just too many people we love (d) that are in situations that could not see their way out it. “Lord, if you won’t move this mountain, give me the strength to climb over it!” We don’t just hurt the ones we love, we overdo it. What’s worse, we don’t realize it! People we have got to find a better way to respect and communicate with each other. We all have stress but we can find some way to turn it into something positive. Let’s not rely on how much time it’s going to take, we can screw things up bad enough. We must start now! We all had mothers and fathers, if they were abused, we must break the chain now and not use that experience as an excuse. We wouldn’t want any member of our family hurt by anyone, especially, by the very person that says they love them. Nothing worth having is ever easy, but trying to keep it can be everything. A link has been provided at the title of this entry.

Conflict!!!
Regardless of the definition, it is opposing what your mate feels that is detrimental to his or her physical or mental stability. Either way you look at it, the two opposing forces are not thinking in the same direction. I’m speaking of relationships in general. At times, it might seem that we are involved in a war. Words are said that can hurt the person you love because you need to make a point. I don’t always think from the heart but from the mind. This can cause an even bigger problem because I’m always too busy analyzing instead of listening. It’s remarkable the way so many marriages and relationships collapse and/or destroyed by the very people who were once in love with each other. It’s pitiful that they lose that love forever. I have attached a website called the Two of Us. I hope that it will help someone who wants to make their relationship work. We have to stand up for the ones we love, deep inside they still love us, too!
