Out For Self

When it comes to political & social issues, this tweet couldn't be more true.

Everyone can't stick together because too many folks have their own agendas.

Friday Thought: Anything Goes

Anytime we condone 12 year olds having sex, we've sunk to a new low. Next, it'll be 10 and under, if not already.😒

Classic Post: Men, Stop Complaining

Men should stop complaining about women who want bad boys. If a woman wants a thug, that's her right. Understand that she loses the right to a good man after that bad boy mistreats her. That's how I see it. As crazy as it sounds, some women don't want stand-up men. That is a good thing because those women automatically weed themselves out.

Hurricane Harvey: Joel Osteen Criticism

The people criticizing Joel Osteen feel like fools since he's opened Lakewood for Houstonians affected by Hurricane Harvey.

Megachurch Houston pastor Joel Osteen has been crucified for not doing enough to help Houstonians that have been affected by Harvey. I've read the twitter hashtags, the FB comments, etc. Honestly, I'm sick and tired of folks talking junk about Joel Osteen. Joel Osteen's not doing this, he's not doing that and so on. Houston is the 4th largest city in the nation (2.4 million in the city limits, 6.5 million in the metro), and I'm sure Joel isn't the only Houston pastor. He may be the most famous Houston pastor, but anyway...people need to let the man be great. What's really the problem is some people are jealous of Joel Osteen's success. I'm sure he does a lot for Houston (as he should, since he resides in Houston), and from what I read, he's opened Lakewood Church for shelter, so what do those clowns who talked mess about him have to say now? I'll wait.

While some people are talking mess about what Joel Osteen is or isn't doing, what are THEY doing to help those affected by Harvey? It's easy to sit back and criticize from your smartphone, computer or IPad tablet while others are out there trying to make a difference. What's ironic about this backlash is that none of the foolishness that people are saying about Joel not opening up Lakewood is true. The following link proves this:

The Truth About Joel Osteen's Church

How can anyone expect the man to open his church when portions of his church was flooded? El Stupido.

Hurricane Harvey

Hurricane Harvey is showing out, but I rebuke that storm in Jesus name. Cease & Desist!

Lord, send ongoing relief to the City Of Houston and everyone in Texas affected by Harvey.

Sunday Thought: Following God

I get it, we all have our comfort zones (myself included). Once we get to our successful place, we become content because we feel as if we've accomplished all we've set out to do. One issue: God has so much more for his children that we don't have time for contentment, let alone comfort. If God has better for you that required him taking you elsewhere, why wouldn't you want to go? One of my FB friends Babette Glenn gave a good answer: Because they don't have the vision to see where he's taking them. That answer is confirmation that some believers don't trust God's leading like they say. It's easy to say, "God, I'll go where you lead me", but when it comes time to follow God, some believers find excuses not to follow Him. I enjoy my comfort zone, but if God has better for me elsewhere, I'm going.

If God has better for you that requires him taking you elsewhere, why wouldn't you want to go?
