God Is Good vs. Why Me Lord?

Believers are quick to say God is Good when they're blessed, but question God when they're going through a trial.

Anyone who's walked with God long enough can attest to this statement. If they're honest, they'll admit to questioning God about why they're going through a fiery trial that's of no fault of theirs. I've said it before and I'll say it again: God rains on the just as well as the unjust. Because we live in a fallen world, Christians will go through tough times like anyone else; it's the price of living in a sinful world. As a believer, I've questioned God many times about why I'm going through this and that trial which is of no fault of mine, and I get the same answer every time: Sin. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God, they messed it up for everyone. They were the reason why the good must suffer with the bad. I'll take it a step further and say that your faith is tested when you're going through a fiery trial. Are you going to sink or swim as a believer? I don't think some believers realize that even in the midst of fiery trials, God's still with them.

The following link is a prayer vigil held by one of my FB friends to confront the violence crisis in Chicago. It's good; anything positive, I'm with it.

Liberalism makes me sick

I hate this anything goes mentality that is prevalent in society.

Live & let live is the dumbest philosophy ever. People want to live and let live until someone's lifestyle choice affects them.

Men should stop emasculating themselves to keep up with fashion. There's no way a man should be comfortable enough to wear skinny jeans.😒😠

Public Service Announcement

I'm reading about the two girls that were shot in the head in Chicago this afternoon and they died, and I'll say this: You're not a "G" for killing a child, you're a coward who deserves the death penalty. Third, if I lived in Chicago, I'd always be strapped regardless of what the dumbass laws are up there that say citizens can't carry guns, yet the bad guys somehow end up with them. If you live in Chicago and you aren't strapped, even if you aren't involved in the thug life, you're a sitting duck. Period.

God forbid I have to deal with the murder of one of my nieces because I'm ensuring the shooter(s) and they're families are dead.

Men: Get Over It?

"When a woman is hurt by the men in her life and she hates all men, people show her compassion. Let a man be raped by his mother or aunts, and he's expected to get over it."-Me.

In no way am I undermining the hurt some women have been through by the men in their lives. I think it's foul that some women don't feel safe in the presence of so-called men who are tasked with protecting her. I'm talking about the monsters who sexually abused those women when they were toddlers, and even infants (P.S: No way around it, you are scum if you molest a baby.). I salute the women who have gone THROUGH that and didn't harbor bitterness against all men because she knows all men had nothing to do with what happened to them. What about the men who were raped by their mothers, aunts, grandmothers or female cousins? Nobody wants to talk about that. Men who have gone through that are expected to get over it; man up. If a woman hates all men because of what happened to her, people show her compassion. If a man says he hates women because of what he went through, he's crucified on the cross like Jesus. My point is this: The same compassion should be extended to men when they're abused by the women in their lives as it is for women.

Random Thoughts

Why are the majority of women receptive to hearing from God as opposed to some men?

The right person can turn into the wrong person, so why waste time trying to find the right person?
