Jesus Twerk

 
This video clip is of Deelishis (Flavor Of Love reality star, real name London Charles) twerking for Jesus. This clip is one of hundreds, if not thousands that circulate YouTube. Is praise dancing an approved way for women to twerk to gospel music? First off, there is no such thing as the Jesus Twerk, twerking for Jesus, whatever you want to call it. This is an example of how the enemy tries to counterfeit God's doing. A counterfeit looks identical to the original, except for one difference: The Jesus Twerk is usually performed by women in suggestive clothing. These women are shaking their behinds, but calling it Twerking for Jesus. I can see praise dancing because praise dance is about expression.
Of all the churches I've been to, the lady praise dancers had better sense than to twerk for the congregation. My church would boot them out with the quickness. It's shameful that Jesus is attached to foolishness. It's almost as bad as Gospel From The Pole (brief history: A stripper turned preacher is now preaching the gospel). When I think of twerking, Jesus is the LAST thing that comes to mind. I'm thinking of a scantily clad woman with boyshorts or a thong; woman starts clapping her cheeks together. Where's Jesus in all this "twerking"? Jesus would never co-sign this nonsense. The world has no respect for Christianity, so I wouldn't expect anything more.
There's not much difference between praise dancing and twerking. A praise dancer isn't going to ballerina dance to a Kirk Franklin song, they're going to let loose. Some gospel songs are designed for hooting & hollering, and I understand that. Twerking in God's house is disrespectful. When the moneychangers were conducting business in God's temple, Jesus got upset and overturned all the tables. In short, the twerk does not match Jesus work.

Kids Are So Fass

 
At 5 years old, sex should be the LAST thing on children's minds. Unless a 5-year old's parents have schooled them on sex, most 5-year olds don't have enough concept about sex to engage in the act, which leads me to this question: Were these kids sexually abused? I'm thinking so because I've been reading this article, and doing research. Research says if a child has been sexually abused by a relative or other closed friend, they will act out sexually with another child. Why else do you see so many twerk videos on WorldStar, YouTube and the like? These children were shown how to be fass. Everyone's coming down on the teacher, and rightfully so. With kids, you can't turn your head for one second without them doing something they have no business doing.
One of a teacher's responsibilities is to keep watch over her students, and to me, this veteran teacher knew better. She's been teaching 15 years so she should already know how kids can get into stuff. Then again, no matter if she watched them closely or not, kids are still going to find a way to get into some mess. Stories like this show how far society has fallen. Everywhere you turn, a student or teacher is caught sexing a student and that's sad. Well, when you take God out of schools what do you expect? The only thing that comes to my mind is these children had to have been abused, because what 5-year olds do you know can partake in sexual activity? Watch how some immoral people say "What's wrong with children having sex?" The fact that they're 5 shows what's wrong.
What should happen to the teacher? According to the article, she's suspended and the school board is recommending dismissal. I can't say I disagree with their recommendation. Educators, school administrators have a big responsibility to watch over hundreds of students, and the slightest infraction should be met with repercussions. If she gets dismissed, one factor is her tenure: Being a veteran teacher, the school board will say she had no business letting those kids leave her eyesight.

Has The Bible Made Women Lazy?

Yesterday, I posted a controversial statement that read: The Bible has made women lazy when it comes to pulling their weight in relationships. I feel as though the Bible has made some women lazy when it comes to pulling their weight in a relationship. Why? Let me elaborate. Many women are quick to utter her husband's responsibilities (with supporting scripture), but those same women forget her role as her husband's helpmate. Proverbs 31 is the kind of woman a wife should be to her man (and what a man should seek in a wife):
A good woman is hard to find,
and worth far more than diamonds.
Her husband trusts her without reserve,
and never has reason to regret it.
Never spiteful, she treats him generously
all her life long.
She shops around for the best yarns and cottons,
and enjoys knitting and sewing.
She’s like a trading ship that sails to faraway places
and brings back exotic surprises.
She’s up before dawn, preparing breakfast
for her family and organizing her day.
She looks over a field and buys it,
then, with money she’s put aside, plants a garden.
First thing in the morning, she dresses for work,
rolls up her sleeves, eager to get started.
She senses the worth of her work,
is in no hurry to call it quits for the day.
She’s skilled in the crafts of home and hearth,
diligent in homemaking.
She’s quick to assist anyone in need,
reaches out to help the poor.
She doesn’t worry about her family when it snows;
their winter clothes are all mended and ready to wear.
She makes her own clothing,
and dresses in colorful linens and silks.
Her husband is greatly respected
when he deliberates with the city fathers.
She designs gowns and sells them,
brings the sweaters she knits to the dress shops.
Her clothes are well-made and elegant,
and she always faces tomorrow with a smile.
When she speaks she has something worthwhile to say,
and she always says it kindly.
She keeps an eye on everyone in her household,
and keeps them all busy and productive.
Her children respect and bless her;
her husband joins in with words of praise:
“Many women have done wonderful things,
but you’ve outclassed them all!”
Charm can mislead and beauty soon fades.
The woman to be admired and praised
is the woman who lives in the Fear-of-God.
Give her everything she deserves!
Festoon her life with praises!
 
The responsibilities of the woman to her husband are clearly outlined in Proverbs 31. In short, a woman is to bring out the best in him, not the stress in him. Much of the discord between men and women in relationships is because of men and women not playing their positions. You have some women who want to be the leader, and men co-sign that. It took two to create a relationship, so it'll take two to make it work. Roles have to be defined and carried out, on BOTH ends. If a man is doing his job, and the woman hers, their relationship will have great influence. On another note, this blog message is to let men know the importance of being schooled on the Bible because there are some women that will twist the Bible to their benefit. They will tell a man what he should do, but conveniently leave out her role.

Strawberry Letter: Didn't Get Any Attention, So I Cheated

Letter: I'm a 30 year old young lady. I have been talking to this guy for about ten months now. We stay a couple of hours away from each other, so we don't get to see each other as often as we like. We used to call, text and video chat all the time but now we don't any more since I gave him the cookie. So now when I try to call or text I don't get any response except when he calls or texts. So now since I'm not getting that attention from him I try and find it elsewhere. I was intimate with someone close to him and three other guys he doesn't know. SMH. We talked about it; I told him how I feel and he told me I need to earn his trust, and that I have some making up to do. Please!!! Mr. Harvey and Mrs. Shirley, what should I do to make it up to him and earn his trust?
 
No No Nooooooo! She gave him the cooch, and now he got ghost. Why does this strawberry letter seem so familiar? Because it happens too often in relationships. A woman and man are getting to know each other, and she feels comfortable enough with him to give him some pie. After the man has eaten her pie, he's ghost. He has no reason to stay around because he got his, and that's that. Her first mistake was giving him the pie too early on. Then again, women know within minutes of meeting a man if they're going to sleep with him so maybe she was so attracted to him that she felt that connection. Since they live 2 hours away, they could've made time to see each other. You make time for what's important, and she wasn't important enough to him.
What makes it so bad, is she goes out and cheats on this man. Why do women do this mess, cheat because her man's not giving her attention. Two wrongs don't make a right. Just because he wasn't giving her attention shouldn't have gave her the green light to cheat. She made herself look bad by being a ho, and now she wants to make it up to him. This relationship is toxic all the way around because she's sexing other men, and he's not giving her the time of day. If he's not giving her the time of day, it can mean one thing: He's also cheating. Think about it, if a woman gave a man some, most men would be sprung and want to continue getting to know her.
I can appreciate her wanting to make things right, so the first thing she needs to do is fess up, and be ready for any repercussions. Yes, he will be upset but at least he'll respect her for telling him straight up. Then again, some women are better cheaters than men because they don't broadcast their exploits. Can she blame him for being upset? She shouldn't, because even though he was at fault for not being more attentive, she was wrong for going behind his back. She needs to do whatever it takes to make things right, and HE needs to give his woman the attention she needs. If a woman feels a lack of attention from her man, she will seek it elsewhere.

Weak Men DO NOT Run From Conflict

 
If you've been watching Atlanta Housewives then you know about the Kandi & Todd situation. In a nutshell, Kandi is letting Mama Joyce run her relationship. She talks crazy to Todd and Kandi doesn't defend her man. First off, if a parent is talking crazy to someone's (wo)man, it's the fiancee's duty to defend their mate. I commend Todd for staying around for as long as he has, because not too many men would tolerate disrespect. A man will not stay with a woman that allows her parents to disrespect him, and she doesn't check them. I'm not saying disrespect your parents, but put them in their place with love. Mama Joyce has issues, for real. Supposedly, Mama Joyce is worried about Kandi's money.
The reason Mama Joyce meddles in Kandi's relationship is because she feels Todd is trying to come up off Kandi. Kandi made it clear that she has no problem, because she has love for her man. If you love your (wo)man, you'll fight for them. You won't let ANYONE (parents included) talk crazy to your mate because you respect them that much. Todd has his own money, so why would he want Kandi's? That's crazy to me. If Todd was trying to live off Kandi, he wouldn't have nothing for himself. Todd would be spending Kandi's money (hint hint Peter and Greg). Todd said it himself that he's not impressed by Kandi's money.
How much can a man take? There comes a time where a man must make a decision whether to stay and endure the WORSE of an engagement relationship, or cut losses. If a woman refuses to check her parents, he's within his right to do so. Problem is, the (wo)man will get upset at him/her for talking loud to the parents. Maybe (s)he wouldn't have to check your parents if you would. According to some women, a man is weak if he runs from conflict. The same women who say a man is weak if he runs from this conflict, are the same ones that want him to deal with all of her mess. What these women DON'T tell you is that she won't tolerate HIS mess.
A strong man knows when to hold, and when to fold. A weak man will ALWAYS...always tolerate disrespect from a woman that's supposed to honor him, because he "loves her". Ok, let me know how that works out for you. Thank God I have sense enough to duck out if I sense a potential issue.

You Make Me Happy Baby

 
Relationships are about reciprocity. The man does for his woman, she reciprocates. Today's women have it twisted. According to the modern woman, the man is supposed to do all the giving. If the man is doing all the giving, she's doing the taking. It's that one-sided approach women have that turn men off from relationships. I see why a lot of men expect the woman to prove herself first because he doesn't want to be used, as he shouldn't. Men who give their all to a woman without expectation of reciprocation are setting themselves up to be taken advantage of. Even in relationships, people don't REALLY show their true selves. They have fathers that treat them like princesses that she looks for someone just like her dad. Fathers who DO NOT teach their daughters how to cater to a man are doing them a disservice because she will meet a man that although he doesn't mind catering to her, he expects the same treatment.
The common denominator in relationship discussions is women. Women want to have all the standards, they want to dictate how the relationship will work, and if a man isn't doing what she wants, she's out the door. DUECES! If a woman leaves because a man won't let her use him, she did him a huge favor. Why would a man want that migraine in his life? That's silly. Some men need to stop buying into the propaganda of "happy wife, happy life. Any man with a brain would expect to be treated like a king, especially if he's treating his woman like a queen. That's how relationships are supposed to work. Ultimately, happiness is the individual's responsibility. No (wo)man is supposed to make you happy, that's your job. However, if you're with a person that's adding stress to your life, get rid of them with no explanation. Life is too short to be miserable in your own home. The person you're with should be a safe haven from the nonsense of society.
 In closing, I want to share a brief story to wrap all this up: A Facebooker by the name of Aries Immortal posted this story: I would probably have never approached my current girlfriend because she didn't match my "norm". But she approached me and showed me her heart and EARNED my trust without question. She knew at first sight she wanted to devote herself to me. She saw me as her husband and approached our relationship as such. She has set the standard I will JUDGE ALL WOMEN BY. Only fools pray for husbands, smart women actually do something about it.
