Scenario

A question was posed in a FB group I'm in that went like this: God sends you a mate that meets 75-100% of your expectations, but he's not physically attractive. Do you accept the mate God sent or bypass? My answer is this: I understand looks are important, but they're not the final say. Looks are going to fade over the years, and then what? You have to have something concrete in order for the relationship to make it.

It takes spiritual maturity to accept the mate God sends you, even if they're not "fine" by your standards.

Having Others' Back & Not Your Own

One time for the brother who wrote the original tweet. It goes along with what I said plenty of times: Blacks are the first to stand up for other races' plight because "we know how it feels" While blacks are so busy caping for those who don't care about what the black race goes through, who's standing up for us? Who's looking out for us? It's long overdue for black people to start looking out for self, but we have to come together as a people first.

Preach! Black people are the first to cape for those who don’t care about us and what we go through daily. We look out for others before we look out for self. https://t.co/5pmNlF1BNN

Orlando To Be Florida's New Capital?

Orlando to be FL's new capital?

It would make economic and business sense, since most of our state senators and legislators are from Central and South FL. They have to come up to Tallahassee anyway, so by moving the capital to Orlando, Orlando native politicians will be in their backyard. There's so many benefits to moving FL's capital to Orlando. I don't think it'll be a major loss to Tallahassee if the capital were moved because let's face it, I've lived in Tallahassee long enough to know that there's no major commerce here. If you take away FAMU & FSU Homecoming, North Florida Fair and other sporadic events, Tallahassee would suffer. I support moving Florida's capital to Orlando.

Thought For Today: No Difference

Once upon a time, your friends were your friends. You could trust them & vice versa. Now, friends do the same thing enemies do. In that case, I'm good on having little to no friends because I don't have the patience to figure out who's who. With me, you're for or against me; no in between.

Baby Abandonment

I'm not gonna judge the mother other than saying, at least she left the baby at a place where this baby will get the needed love & support. Still, this baby is going to grow up resentful and have so many questions as to why she wasn't wanted by the one who gave her life. The only explanation I can come up with is she probably felt inadequate as a potential mother to be able to provide for this child, so she felt the church could take care of the baby better than she could. Who knows where the father is...Hopefully, I'll read an update on how this baby is doing.

Christians vs. Christians

Not one lie was told with this. One thing I respect about the world is they come together to get things done in their favor. They may go to war with each other from time to time, but the world knows how to come together for a common cause. Some Christians on the other hand...too busy at war with each other over stupid stuff. I truly believe this is one of the reasons why the world wants nothing to do with Christianity because the world sees Christians at war with each other.
