Thicker Than Water Season 2 Episode 6 | The Ben Honors

Since it's debut, Thicker Than Water has grown into the highest-rated family show on Thicker Than Water. It chronicles the blended Tankard family: Ben & Jewel, the Tankard daughters (Brooklyn, Brittney & Cyrene), Benji, Marcus. This is my favorite episode because it discusses Ben's rags to riches story as well as the tribute to 25 years in the music industry. One thing that stuck out to me was when Ben Tankard said: The death of my basketball career, created the birth of my music career. Sometimes, Christians have their trajectory planned out from Day 1 of what they're going to do, and most of the time God blesses our trajectory. What happens when unfortunate circumstances derail our trajectory? Some Christians get in their feelings and get upset at God because our plans didn't work out how we wanted. When Ben said "I can't read a lick of music, and I've had a successful music career", that had to be God's anointing. Take a look at this recent Thicker Than Water episode.

Focus On Who Wants You

One of my Facebook friends posted a stat about men's relationship trouble. He stated that men focus on women who don't want them, instead of those that do. When she repeatedly rejects him, some men want to get mad, and call her everything but the child of God. I think I can understand why some men try and go after women who don't want them; they like a challenge. If they're persistent, many men feel she'll let her guard down and say yes. By saying yes, he feels accomplished because he was able to conquer her; meaning, he wore her down enough to where she gave in to his advances. Now, I'm pretty sure when some women say no, that's what they mean. I know for me, no means no. I seldom go back on my answer unless there's strong reasoning stating otherwise. The way I'm set up, I don't have the desire of going after women who don't want me. Why? I don't have the patience to give her 10,000 reasons why she should accept me as her man. I know my worth, and what I'm willing to provide her with, and if she can't see that, it's her loss. For me, it's common sense: I check for those who check for me. It's a win-win situation for me & her. I'm about easy victories, and if I sense drama, I back off from it. Men need to stop that challenge nonsense, and learn how to pursue women who WANT them. That's why you have these Facebook Relationship groups with men and women bashing each other. Both genders wasted time pursuing those who didn't want them, and when they finally got tired of rejection, they become jaded and label all (wo)men as no good.

Purpose: By Khrystle Nichole

Had to share something from one of my Facebook friends.

Each of us come here for a purpose. Sometimes we often wonder what our purpose is. Whether we know it or not, we are all teachers and students. Many times, our experiences are lessons for others as well as ourselves. We are also comforters and servers. We have the power to comfort and serve others with kindness, generosity, and selflessness. Teaching and learning, comforting and serving is not always easy. Sometimes these come as the hardest challenges in our lives. Yet this is our purpose. Teaching does not come without learning and comforting does not come without serving. We will never figure out all the answers to the questions of why. It is when we recognize and accept the teacher, the student, the comforter and the server within ourselves that we find some purpose and joy while we are on this journey called life.

You Want To Know My Business? Become An Investor


 At what age do you stay out of others' business? I'm just asking because everywhere you turn, some folks have to know your every move: What you're doing, how you're doing it, are you ok, this, that & the other. There are two kinds of people who do this: 1. Those who mean well, and 2. Those who are fishing for information to use against you at a later date. If you're meeting someone for the first time, and their energy is right, those are the people you don't mind sharing your affairs with because you know they'll keep your business between you and them. Whatever issues you and them may have, you two immediately squash your beef and get back on good terms. You seldom have skirmishes with people who mean well because deep down, they want the best for you, and vice versa. You have to watch those in Group #2 because they slide in like a snake. Nobody's gonna come into your life just to cause drama. They're gonna play a wolf even though they're wearing sheep's clothing.
Those who are fishing for information to use against you at a later date, you have to keep an eye on them because you never know when they're going to strike. They act friendly, and want to keke with some tea. So far, things are going good between you until they start showing their true colors. What starts off as little skirmishes turns into epic confrontations. What you told them in confidence starts spreading like wildifre, and they start becoming besties with former enemies. Weren't you just battling with this & that person a week ago, and now you're besties? Get on with that nonsense. I pride myself on being a very private person, which is why I don't lead a drama-filled life. I don't keke with some tea with everybody because although some people may mean well, people are great actors. For those who want to know your business, tell them to become an investor. That's how you stop nosy folks in their tracks.

Cynthia Spills The Tea


Kenya and Phaedra FINALLY have it out. For 2 years, Phaedra has thrown so much shade at Kenya for flirting with Apollo, and Kenya's name was cleared because Apollo confessed to making up those accusations. Last night when all the Atlanta housewives sat down to a nice dinner, Phaedra had some choice words for Kenya (as usual). What Phaedra didn't realize is that Kenya had dirt on Phaedra from Day 1, and Kenya was looking for a reason to go in on Phaedra. According to texts sent to Cynthia and Peter, Mr. Chocolate and Phaedra were sleeping together. Being that Kenya and Cynthia are good friends, you knew Cynthia was going to tell Kenya. Telling Kenya how Phaedra was sleeping with Mr. Chocolate was extra ammo for Kenya to use against Phaedra at the dinner. Never mind that Kenya and Phaedra were battling for 2 years over Kenya's alleged affair with Apollo, never mind that Phaedra treated Kenya like a dog. Going further, a while back, Phaedra said something hurtful about Cynthia previously, so Cynthia used this moment to make herself look good. She gave Peter some tea, then she spills more tea to Kenya and she Kenya sips. Kenya was sitting in the cut chilling because in her mind, she knew Phaedra was creeping with another man before Phaedra and Kenya did battle. I called this from the beginning: I've been saying that Phaedra better tread lightly when it comes to Kenya because after she accused Kenya of sleeping with Apollo, Kenya didn't let that go and last night, she went in on Phaedra. I can't say I blame Kenya because a person can only take so much disrespect until they get you together. Phaedra was trying to get gangster by saying how she would blow Apollo away with a .357 & embalm him, slap Kenya, etc. Phaedra isn't about that life, so she needs to stop with the gangster rhetoric.
