Why Ask Why?

Why, why, why? Why did this person hurt me and so on? Do people really need an explanation for why people hurt them? They shouldn't, because the guilty person will rarely, if ever take responsibility for their offenses. They'll always find a way to deflect or offer some half-hearted apology. Some people are that foul, so the best course of action is to cut them loose and move on. Stop seeking an apology from someone who will most likely show no remorse for their actions. I'll never understand some people who continually confront their offender(s) looking for an apology for their wrongdoing against them. If someone hurts you, and they haven't made amends, it's a sure sign they don't care. Because they don't care, you're not as likely to get remorse from them. It's easier said than done, but like the Disney movie song from Frozen states: Let It Go, Let It Go.

Levels To Provision

When most people think of provision, it's always in the financial sense. Providing financially is part of what it means to be a provider. Because providing is Biblical, and the man is tasked with being a provider, then provision means a Godly man provides financially, spiritually and emotionally. When his wife is frustrated, he provides her with peace of mind to know that everything will be alright. His kids look to him to provide financially, to give his family a roof over their heads and clothes on their backs. From a spiritual standpoint, a man provides his family with a lasting spiritual foundation that continues after he leaves this world. I know the Bible has 800+ verses dealing with money so God obviously values money, but I think finances is at least 25% of what being a provider is all about.

Leaving Madness Behind

Everyone should do what's best for them, even if it may make others upset. Going further, who's someone to get upset at the choices you make that'll benefit you in the long run? That's crazy. If you're tired of the madness going on in your city, you have every right to plan your exit strategy. It's not running because you want to live in peace. In my opinion, it's foolish to stay in a chaotic environment because it's a matter of time before that chaos touches your life.

Greenleaf

Unlike some of my favorite programs, Greenleaf was so good I was hooked from the start. You can tell this show was well written from the acting to the storyline. Oprah could NOT have gotten a better line-up for this show, and I watch this show every night at 10pm Wednesday night. Personally, I wish this show would move to Friday or Saturday night at 8pm, but sometimes you have to save the best for last. What I like about Greenleaf is this show exposes the scars and secrecy that's prevalent in some black churches. This show teaches that it's nothing wrong with vulnerability, because your secrets will come out anyway. Too many black Christians try to appear high, holy & sanctified that it makes me want to vomit. Each character has their own scars and you can tell by some of the most touching scenes in the show.
Gigi should have known she would be found out about sleeping with Noah; she works at the church and word travels fast. Isabelle already knew Noah and Gigi slept together, and she didn't have to ask either one of them! Women have a strong sense of discernment that they know what's up. I called it that Charity knows her husband is gay, and it's just a matter of time before she finds out. Bishop got gangster on Mac. He got that gun ready, walked into the office all calm, and he was ready to shoot Mac. I really think on the next episode Bishop will shoot Mac unless Gigi intervenes (which she will, because she was already on her way to Uncle Mac's office at the end). Lady Mae KNOWS Mac violated those girls, but wants to live in denial.

Unsolicited Parental Wisdom

I said it, and I don't care who's slighted. If the stepparent is giving YOUR child(ren) what they should have gotten from you, what's the problem? At least someone cares enough about your child to give them a better shot in life. The problem is that some parents have done a horrible job of raising their child(ren), so they get upset when the stepmom/dad outshines them. By outshine, I mean the child is getting the love & support from the stepparent they never got from their biological parent(s).

Gentle Parenting

  Gentle parenting breeds disrespectful & entitled kids.🀦🏾😎I’m glad I was raised old-school.
