Random Thoughts

Today's blog message is titled Random Thoughts. Many of them will come from myself, others come from various tweeters on my timeline. Let's get right to it:

 I hate how some men think their size means that somebody supposed to be shook by them. Big guys get dropped just the same as anyone else.
 I already know a woman will be difficult if she says: What's life without a little drama? Pretty dull, I'd say.
I can't stand these sucker for love folks; the ones that'll take any and everything from someone because they're scared to be alone.
The police should be grateful that the hood gives them job security.
@TheDestinyDome: You can't be afraid to testify because just hearing your story will encourage someone else.You never know who is on the verge of giving up.
@RichardMIATL: "To avoid doing too much, sometimes you must simply do nothing."-Chill Sampras Myrie Ashby
@RichardMIATL: Half of the mess in society wouldn't exist if zero tolerance was enforced across the board.
@RichardMIATL: Don't worry about tomorrow. It will take care of itself. You have enough to worry about today. http://t.co/O6qqWXNO9O
@RichardMIATL: Funniest part this season was when the twins (Latisha and Lakisha) asked Marcus who's butt was the biggest. Marcus knew.πŸ˜‚πŸ˜­ #ThickerThanWater
@RichardMIATL: Some folks got me messed up thinking you can spread God's Word for free. It costs πŸ’΅πŸ’΅πŸ’΅to deliver the gospel of Jesus Christ, so cut the crap.
@RichardMIATL: Shout out to the Tankards for a wonderful season and a better ending. Looking forward to Season 3. #ThickerThanWater
@RichardMIATL: Nene is full of crap. When she can't dominate a conversation, she runs off. Nobody feel sorry for her.
@PatriceJWill: How people treat others they don't like is how they'll eventually treat you! #RHOA
@RichardMIATL: The way Mama Joyce all up in Kandi's marriage, you'd think Todd is married to Kandi & Mama Joyce. That's why Todd has checked out. #RHOA
@RichardMIATL: You have to crawl before you walk, but after that, you need to be running your own.
Pardon the profanity, but this makes sense:
@ugglyyy: if you don't see yourself having a child with this person why the fuck are you doing an act with them that MAKES BABIES?

Choices: The Set Up


Many of these Strawberry Letters seem to have the recurring theme: Woman meets her man's father and brother, and she magically ends up on her back in the basement with each of them. She's just nasty because if she's getting down with her husband's father and brother, there's no telling what other men in his family she's doing it with. If she was being tested by Shaun & Harold and the father, she failed miserably because all this was was a test of temptation; would she yield to temptation? Guess what, she did. That alone signals she can't be trusted because what if they get married, and she meets some more handsome men? Chances are, they're going to ask her to come home with them and she's going to end up on her back. Oops, my bad: She's used to being on her back. When I tell you this family is messy, this family is MESSY. Everybody sleeping with everybody, and whenever drama breaks out, the first thing that will be brought up is the (wo)man sleeping with a family member. The minute I heard that my woman sexed a male family member, marriage would go out the window: I don't want no explanation, NOTHING. Foulness of this nature can't be explained. The woman's more at fault because she chose to be a ho. She chose to violate her commitment to Shaun, and he's foolish for considering to still marry her after she pulled this. I guess I got one thing from this Strawberry Letter: It's No Fun If The Family Can't Have None. The family set her up and she fell for the okie doke.

Spreading The Gospel

Megachurch pastor Creflo Dollar is getting lit up on social media, so much that he took down his Facebook page asking supporters and his parishioners to give him $300 so he can buy a new jet to continue spreading the gospel worldwide. The cost of this jet is $65,000,000. Personally, I knew this was adding fuel to the fire; it gave unsaved folks more of a reason to go in on Christianity. Even some  Christians are going in on Creflo Dollar. Some folks irk me thinking you can spread the gospel for free. It costs to spread God's word, any minister will tell you that. This isn't Biblical times where Jesus spread the Good News on a donkey, so why do some folks feel that ministers shouldn't ask for money from their regular members? It's crazy to me because you're being fed on Sunday and Wednesday (plus reading God's word on your own, which is what Christians should be doing), so the least some members could do is financially support the Man Of God who's speaking into their lives.
I expect backlash from unsaved folks because many of them don't know any better. They're looking for any reason to criticize Christianity, so they don't count. Let those same folks get in a bind, and the first thing they want to do is run to the church for help; yet they have so much to say about ministers asking for financial help from the congregation that they minister to on a weekly basis. I have so much respect for ministers who labor on God's behalf. Ministry is a thankless job, and it takes a selfless person to give of themselves in that manner. I remember when Creflo Dollar first started World Changers Ministries, he paid his & the church expenses out of pocket. He had to because he was getting his ministry off the ground. God multiplied Creflo's ministry to where it's one of the most popular ministries in Atlanta, and worldwide. If anyone thinks the Gospel can be spread for free, they're crazy because in today's technology age, spreading the gospel costs money, and rightfully so. This isn't Biblical times where Jesus rode a donkey and spread his gospel for free.

No Quality Men Left?

This is a message from Lotus (real name withheld for confidentiality reasons) of How To Be A Woman:

How to Be a Woman
March 9 at 3:50pm · 
Ladies,
There are many women that believe that there are no quality men left. That idea is a fallacy by the way. But, to those women I say, if you want to see more quality men, raise some. Let's be clear, it's our belief that a woman can't raise a boy to be a man. We must foster environments that are conducive to healthy co-parenting relationships. In the absence of the child's father, it is your duty and obligation to expose your boys to positive male role models. Do single mothers raise boys that turn into quality men? Sure. But, in the absence of the boy's father, somewhere along his journey to adulthood to becoming a quality man, he got to see another MAN being there and raising his children. He got to see another MAN going to work everyday providing for his family. He got to see another MAN treating his wife like a Queen because she did the same for him. He was privileged enough to witness a man's integrity because that man kept his word. He was privileged enough to observe a man lead and was taught that he should do the same. He was privileged enough to witness positive male role models that made him want to be one for other boys. And, he was privileged enough to be exposed to the soul of a warrior, the mind of a God, and the actions of a King and was privy to the lessons that only a quality man can teach.

Where My Doggs At?


I want to give praise to God for keeping me covered under the blood of Jesus. He's given me hands-on parents that bathe me in prayer, & because of that, I haven't been sucked into the streets. My heart breaks for these young cats who don't have the love & acceptance from their parents, and they look for it in gangs. My question is: You're in the streets head first and you form bonds with your crew; y'all hustle and thug together until both of you get caught up by the police. It's no surprise that black neighborhoods have heavy police presence because unfortunately, inner-city black neighborhoods are violence-plagued. When you're in the streets with your boys and the police catch up to you, what do you think the cops are going to do? They use the Jedi Mind Trick; butter you up by offering you coffee and cigarettes, get you comfortable enough to start telling. Once the suspects get real comfortable with the investigator, someone will start singing.
You don't believe me? Watch First 48. Two people are arrested for a triple murder & neither of them want life with no parole or the death penalty. Friendships go out the window because both of these dudes want to get back out to one of these women, riding your chevys and bentleys, etc. Some of the nation's most notorious gangsters will tell you the same thing: The streets don't love you, they take you away from those that do. That's why I couldn't be into the streets, because the way I see it is that I've got too much to lose. I've got success out there with my name on it and if I'm jammed up, that messes up my plans. I also wouldn't be able to trust those I'm hustling with because when it comes down to it, if the cops arrest us for major felonies, I don't know if my partner in crime will have my back. He's fighting for his life, which is what he's supposed to do.
The way the streets are now, it's not like it was back in the 60's and before. You had loyalty among notorious gangsters & criminals. There was a strict code of ethics among gangsters that if you're doing dirt and you get caught, you face your time like a man. If a man was doing life, he had his friends look out for his family. You don't take your partners down with you because for whatever reason, you want to get back out there. Fast forward to 2015, you have young brothers telling on each other because they don't want to do that 50 to life bid, yet they knew what they were getting into when they were in the game. Where My Doggs At? Your "doggs" won't be there for you when the cops are asking you what happened the night of the murder, and if they are, they're looking out for themselves. They're not taking a first-degree murder charge for you.

Me Or Her?


Once upon a time, a man broke up with his woman and that was that. Sometimes, he had good reason to leave, other times he left out of haste. It was seldom a man left his woman out of haste because he wanted to make sure he had good reason to leave her. Fast forward to 2015, and you have (wo)men breaking up with their mates and getting back together. When I hear someone say they've been together with such & such person for 8 years on and off, I shake my head in silence because that's bonkers. You break up with someone, then you get back together; rinse and repeat. At some point, you have to make up your mind. If you're going to be with a person, be with them. If you decide to break up with them, do it and stick to your decision. The woman has every right to question her man's feelings for her because he doesn't know who he wants. The first time he and her split, all contact should've been ceased: No e-mail, text, call, NOTHING. Whenever a person decides to leave their mate, unless they have children together, all contact is to cease and desist. 
He needs to make a solid decision on who he wants: His current wife, or his ex. Once he makes a firm decision, he needs to stick to it. If he decides to stay with his current wife, he is to have NO contact with his ex whatsoever. There's nothing wrong with a divorced couple remaining friends, that shows that even though they didn't work out as a couple, they can still be cordial. I can tell by the tone of this letter that he regrets his decision to marry this woman because he wouldn't be keeping tabs on his ex. He married the other woman out of convenience because he doesn't want to be alone. Studies have shown that men are more likely to remarry than women because they need that companionship. It's crazy how a man can get a divorce and 6 months later, he's with another woman. This man is married to his current wife, but he's using the other woman as a rebound in case his current marriage fails; that's why he doesn't want to sever ties with his ex. He wants to know that she'll be there if things don't work out with this woman he's with now.
