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!

Our prayers are with you Mommas Bennett and Irby, Mz C, Dorothy, Harold and the families.

Congratulations to the New Royal Family!

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 20^th. 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.

Love you, Sis!
