Darren Canning: 'America, Get Ready for Blessing, Wealth and Gold!'

I felt led to make this a blog post because the times we're living in warrant this. God's word does say the wicked's wealth is stored up for the righteous. Reading about Trump's commitment to protecting religious freedom gives me faith that I made the right choice in voting for him. I'm riding with anyone who's riding with Israel because God blesses those who bless Israel.

Wednesday Gospel: Life Isn't About Pleasing Everyone

I'm over trying to be a people-pleaser because it just doesn't work. No matter what you do, some people will never be satisfied.

Life isn't about pleasing everybody. It's about bringing out the best of you and spending time with those who appreciate your best :)

Tuesday Wisdom

Quoted by Sampras Myrie Ashby (Chill)

"When you go fishing in a polluted pond, you're not so quick to eat what you catch"

Matter of fact, throw that catch back in the pond. The meaning of this quote is not every catch is a good catch, be it a relationship, job opportunity, etc.

Women: Male friends vs. Female friends

Is it that big a deal to some women if another woman has more male friends than female friends? Must be if some women have a problem with another woman's friend choices. Maybe she has more in common with men, or she could've grown up with men and she sees them as brothers, who knows.

Why are some women slighted if a woman has more male than female friends? If she feels women are catty, that's her right.

What's On My Mind? Christians With No Backbone

I have to question some Christians' Christianity because there are issues that God's people SHOULD NOT compromise on, gay marriage being one of them. Some of these Christians are soft like toilet paper regarding this stance because like the world, some Christians support gay marriage. Either that or they cower on their view(s) for fear of being labeled as close-minded, intolerant, narrowminded, whatever the case may be. You have a few Christians that believe that it's God's responsibility to judge, not ours. True to a degree, BUT...God's people have a responsibility and a right to stand for righteousness. If the world can stand for what they believe in, why can't God's people do the same? Some Christians need to tighten up and stop being so scared of being labeled as close-minded, intolerant, narrowminded, etc. because they don't or won't co-sign ungodliness. I have no ill will towards anyone, BUT if I see something that's ratchet, I will speak against it with no fear of being labeled as intolerant or regardless of what heat I will catch. Hey, if some Christians want to be the Cowardly Lion, go right ahead. *Shrug*

Years and Years of Cheating!

Years and Years of Cheating!

Regardless of what he's not doing, that doesn't excuse her cheating. These issues didn't just crop up, they were lying dormant for a while before they had a chance to surface. He needs to man up and get himself together because he's got a wife to tend to.

FB Scenario: Domestic Violence

1. FB SCENARIO Question: I am a 27-year old woman. I've been dating this guy for over a year, and he has been very understanding of my temper and tendency to hit him when I'm angry. Last week we got into a very heated argument, and I decided to hit him as I usually do when I'm angry. This time he hit me back, and I ended up with a black eye. I was raised that a man should never hit a woman for any reason, and now I'm considering leaving him because I don't deserve to be abused. What would you do? 

My Response: He allowed her too many passes to hit him, and he got fed up so he decided to sock her dead in her eye. He had no business letting her hit him when she gets mad, and all of a sudden he wants to hit back? Cut the crap. No one should be understanding of a mate's tendency to hit them out of anger. I tell you what, depending on my mood, if she hit me out of anger, she runs the risk of getting jawed, and I'd be ready for any of the men in her family should they come for me. What goes through the minds of some men when they LET their woman beat on them, but they won't hit back because "a real man doesn't hit a woman for ANY reason"? Sorry ladies, but you lose the right to play victim when you put yourself in a man's position. It's not like it was back in the day, where a woman could get away with putting hands on her man, or any man for that matter. Personally, the first time my woman puts her hands on me out of anger, we're through. I have zero tolerance for domestic violence. Folks have got to learn how to control their anger. Shoot, go for a walk, pray, work out, do whatever to get rid of that anger.
