Ghetto logic: If I can’t feed my family & you can, one of us gotta go.
If another man is feeding his family, what makes you think he’s not prepared to kill you to continue feeding his family?
Better yet, get on your hustle and stop trying to take what another man has. These cats in the hood are something else.😒
If unconditional love & forgiveness isn't staying with someone through 2 health crises, I don't know what is. Truth be told, I see why the younger generation is less likely to tolerate foolishness from a significant other because unlike the older generation, younger people have more options whereas back in our parents/grandparents time, there weren't a lot of resources for an abused spouse to leave. A man could take care of his family & still feel entitled to dog his wife.😒. My eyes were opened to a lot in my 40 years of life.

We live in a culture where we don’t care until it’s time to care. Your homeboy been trying to get in touch with you for months, your spouse has been telling you what they don’t like that you’re doing and how much it’s bothering them, mama been asking you to stop by the house. Now he lost his job and house then you want to reach out, now that divorce papers are served and you want to change, now she’s told the doctor says she only has 6 months now you want to spend time. I know everyone has a busy life, but you make time for what you care about. Start doing what’s genuine instead of what’s customary.
3 Takeaways from Kalief Browder story:
1. New York authorities waited until Venida (Kalief’s mother) died before they finally agreed to $3.3 million settlement to his family.
2. The father is a classic example of a coward: Left the family when things got “too much” for him. He believed the narrative about his son being a criminal. But when money was involved, he was all in.
3. Kalief had more heart than most because how many of us would fight to the death to prove innocence? He did that.

They're not on my level. How many times has this been said? However, the reality is that God probably didn't call them to be on "your" level. That He elevated you to show others what is possible and for you to be a solutionist. It has nothing to do with your perceived "greatness" in God. Even though Jesus is the Son of God, He walked the face of the Earth to show others the way. He is the ultimate Example of being the Way to the Father. We were not on His level either. Yet He humbled himself, and came to us to direct, teach, and help us to become who we were initially called to be before the foundations of the Earth. Therefore He is our Prototype and who we are to emulate. Let us be mindful of the subtlety of pride.
Morning Chronicles:
One common misconception of the Bible is Proverbs 18:24, where it says if you want friends, show yourself friendly. Aht Aht…No matter how friendly you are to some people, they won’t reciprocate. Christians really need to understand the context behind scriptures instead of taking them at face value. 🤦🏾♂️
