Sherdavia Jenkins

Today marks what would have been the 24th birthday of Sherdavia Jenkins who on July 1 2006 at the tender age of 9 year-old was killed by a stray bullet while playing in front of her Liberty City (Miami) home in 2006. Many prayers to her family and friends who cherish her memory. Her story was featured on a Miami episode of First 48. The killer was caught and he's doing 50 years to life. Honestly, this story pissed me off because she was just playing in front of her home when a gunfight broke out between two men in the Beans (Pork & Beans), one bullet struck & killed her instantly. Children in the ghetto should be able to play freely without fools shooting. The hood is at an all time low with kids being cut down by gunfire. I can rattle off a list of names of kids who died in the Miami ghetto, but I won't. The sad thing is that her mom died a few years ago.

 

Fake Love

Me & fake love will never get along because it's not real. I don't want people's love if it's based on what I can do for them, and they shouldn't want my love if it's based on what they're doing for me. Love has become so overused a term that it's lost its meaning. People are quick to say "I Love You" to everyone. 

Submission

I'm in Facebook groups where a lot of men in relationships complain about non-submissive women. The below tweet sheds light on why some women don't submit, but even if a man is leading correctly, it's still his fault because why would he put a combative woman on his team? That makes 0 sense to me. Men with good leadership ability should seek out submissive women who know he'll lead the right way. Would a General take direction from a Petty Officer?  

The State Of Society

The more I see, the more grateful I am that I'm NOT having children in this pathetic world. If unarmed black men aren't being shot down like dogs, it's some deranged fool who killed Asians in Atlanta and the surrounding area. How about the racist announcer who made N-word comments because a girls HS basketball team kneeled, then had the nerve to blame it on his diabetes? In light of these incidents, folks want to say "This is not who we are" Wrong. THIS is exactly who we are. As I said before, we're TOO FREE. Free to be stupid, hateful, etc.

George Floyd Trial

Every time police misconduct footage is posted on social media, people see two different things even when it's crystal clear that police are abusing their authority. Derek Chauvin is set to go to trial, and as much as I saw the footage & it was clear as day Chauvin had his knee on George Floyd's neck for almost 10 minutes, the jury selection can't be trusted because there won't be equal representation, and we know that white folks will have each other's back.

 

Thought For Today: Church & 501c3

 

Your Relationship With God Is Not A Team Sport

I'm aware that this post may cause some people to question my salvation, but rest assured my relationship with God is made of steel. Unlike many believers, I don't need to run to church every Sunday & Wednesday to get a word from God when I can go directly to Him for myself.
