Thought For Today: A Good Source Of Therapy Is...

Prayer has always worked for me. It's nothing more than conversation with God; I don't have to ask him for anything, sometimes I just talk to him just because. 

Give Honor To Whom Honor Is Due

When I was a child, it was instilled in me to respect adults just because they're adults. That rule no longer applies now that I'm adult myself. I honor adults who are worthy of respect. As I've gotten older, I've learned that not all adults are worthy of respect.

Thought For Today: Daddy Failed To Protect Her...

My heart goes out to ALL women who have been violated by the men in their lives who were charged with protecting them, the worst of which happen to be her uncle. I have NO respect for any so-called father who doesn't protect his daughter(s) when she tells him her uncle raped her. This "what happens in the family, stays in the family" foolishness as it relates to sexual abuse in families has destroyed so many families, I lost count. I can see why some women hate men based on what happened with sexual abuse in their childhood.

How does a woman respect a MAN (her father) who doesn't protect her when she's violated by her uncle? Depending on the woman, she probably won't.

Favor: Ron Carpenter

Truth be told, most people can't handle favor because they abuse it.

Favor doesn't change who you are... it just changes your position.

RIP Billy Graham: You've Finished Your Assignment

This man is a legend in evangelism. When I read about his death, I wasn’t sad because he finished his race and God has called him home. He wasn’t into titles, just souls. No other evangelist had the longevity of this guy, 60 something years of ministry. I recall watching many of his televised crusades, and going to his revivals when they came to Tallahassee. His son Franklin Graham was a rebel, but his dad's life led him into ministry and now, his son is going to do a great job carrying on his father's legacy. What I respected most about Graham is that he was consistent and simple in his messages. I know he led millions to Christ.

Self-Proclaimed Kings & Queens

I'm all for thinking the best of yourself, but if you're going to label yourself a king or queen, then you better have the characteristics to back it up.
