Sometimes, we tend to find excuses for the things that don't work out for us. We tend to blame others instead of taking responsibility for our actions, which only elevates the excuses. This behavior also applies to standing up for what is right. We often remain silent and wait for someone else to take the initiative instead of holding ourselves accountable. "What's your excuse, now?" is about empowering ourselves to make choices that will help us feel comfortable and confident in our skin.

Perception!
We don’t know for sure who’s right or wrong.. Sometimes
we draw the wrong conclusions from our personal perceptions. Yet, we all can
agree that whatever it is, the nation is divided and pulling us further
apart. What is the solution to bring us
back together? Who is responsible? Is this a deliberate intent from
inside/outside forces to see this nation implode? Our moral standards have
already blown apart.
Mz C, Dorothy, Harold, TS Florence
victims and all the sick and lost, you are in my prayers.

Make America Segregated Again!
I called up a friend of
mine today after she texted me about not keeping up with my blog. My
explanation was too many things to discuss and I didn’t know where to start.
Her answer was simple, “Get on the job and find something!” She also said I
sound depressed. Well, I’m disgusted. The party that prided themselves as the
party of Lincoln and Reagan is gone. What I see is a majority who is so afraid
of losing control and their position in this country and in the world that they
will accept any methods, even if following the devil, to maintain it. If what I
see is a repeat of the turmoil from the biblical perspective, I see a country
heading towards destruction and chaos while the invisible enemy watches from
the sidelines. We have an administration that is promoting enemies of the
United States to high esteem and tricking us that the “fake” news is exploiting
the common man while lying so much and confidently that people believes the
lies as truths. How can biblical messages be used to separate families and
support hatred? Here’s a quote that DOJ can use: Matt 22:36-40 (NIV) Jesus replied: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” Apparently, no one wants to use this as a template for doing the right thing.
Christians aren’t standing up and the party is turning blind ears and eyes away from this mess. Even some of the women are taking part of making white supremacy seem more acceptable and less like the systemic racist mindset that some people have a hard time of letting go. Some of these folks are comfortable making negative statements about other cultures and races that are offensive and mean. People don't seem to care. They must have "If it's not me or mine, why should I care" mentality.
The devil will not win and he knows it. Ephesians 6:10-13 (NIV) “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.” Indeed, the battle is not ours!

Rest Bobby, My Friend, My Brother, Rest in Peace!
We
have come a long way from childhood, sitting under the old oak, wishing to get older
and having our own home. No one told us as children, that being an adult was
being responsible and accountable for our actions. We just wanted to be grown.
Well, children, grandchildren and even a grandchild later, you left to return your
heavenly home before us. We are so blessed to have known each other for 60 plus
years and have seen each other this past year. We were fellow Sagittarians, born
one year apart. Harold was the one born in May. Interesting enough, his
birthday is coming up on the 20th. We were the original three. We’ll
miss you, Bobby! Love you! We will see each other on the other side.
Momma Bennett, Dorothy, Mz C, Harold, Lolita, Nae, Mike, Bill & Tonya, you all are in my prayers.
