Breaking Chains

 One of the healthiest things you can do to break generational curses, mentalities, patterns—especially if they’re destructive, is keep your children away from your relatives and move from your hometown.

God, Keep Me Hidden

Instead of praying for a good (wo)man, it's better to pray that God keeps you hidden from certain (wo)men.

Why Voting Hasn’t Been Good For Blacks

I'm understanding more why some blacks don't vote. No matter who's in office, the president is guaranteed to do little or nothing for black people. I must be one of the few smart folks that realize a president isn't supposed to do for one race, (s)he is supposed to do what's in the country's best interest. Some black folks say how Biden would be so much better for blacks than Trump, but let's be real: Biden is no different because some of the policies he supported have hurt blacks, plus he embraced segregation. Donald Trump and Joe Biden are from the same racist era, so while some blacks have valid reasons for not supporting Donald Trump, there's also valid reasons for blacks to not vote for Joe Biden because historically, Joe Biden's stance on black issues has not been favorable.😎

Honestly, I don't expect any presidential candidate to have a favorable stance on black issues, but what folks are NOT gonna do is criticize someone who has a valid reason for not voting. If two candidates don't line up with your beliefs, why would you vote for either candidate? Makes 0 sense to me. The whole argument of "not voting equals a vote for Trump" sounds crazy. I think blacks who don't vote are smarter because they have sense enough to know that neither candidate has blacks' best interest at heart, so it makes more sense NOT to vote. 

Minister Until You Die

When we’re called to ministry (whatever capacity that may be), we should complete our assignment until our time is up. 

Loud Bark, No Bite

 Most people who bark real loud don't have a bite! Ignore them and keep going!

Today’s Message: Represent For Jesus

 We’re (Christians) ambassadors for Christ, so we (believers) have a responsibility to make Him look good.

The Game’s Been Good To Me: Devin Rispress

This was too good NOT to post: This story is proof that God has another plan for our lives that’s different from our trajectory.

🚨 LONG SERIOUS POST🚨 

Title: The Game Been Good To Me 

Ford Arena in Beaumont Texas. A lot of people don’t know this story, This is the same place where I almost died and my life changed forever. Stemming from an off the field altercation I was stabbed my brain was bleeding and I fell out and had seizures from the injury. Minutes before that episode I was about to play in the game. I was unconscious for 3 days in the hospital. When I came through my mama was standing over me and I said. 

Me: What u doing here?

Mama: Nugga u almost died. 

I was changed, anybody that know me know I was fearless my whole life, after this ordeal I was different. I was afraid of my own shadow literally, I wasn’t the dog I was before. The doctors said that I shouldn’t play Arena Football anymore and and my mom and coaches felt the same. I took a year off and returned to football the following year. I was far from 100% with blurry vision and a tingling sensation down my spine and I was scared. God had a plan for me as I was traded to Sioux City Iowa and was brought in as the highest paid runningback in the league and to follow up Fred Jackson who was taken by the Buffalo Bills a year before. I thought was closer to the NFL after Jackson tore the league up and I was his replacement. I got there and played my first game and played the worst game of my life, two weeks later I was sent back to Texas to my old team. I was determined to prove that I still had it even at the expense of my life. That Saturday we played a team from Florida in the same Arena where I almost died and I scored 5 touchdowns in 1 half of football. 2 days later the team folded because of financial issues and that would be my last time playing football. God let me taste success in the game for 1 last time and I was satisfied, I returned home and the journey I’m on now began. I’m forever grateful for this journey God carried me on and I wouldn’t change anything.
