Luke 16:10: Faithful In Little

“Whoever is faithful with little is also faithful with much, and the one who is dishonest with little is also dishonest with much.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭16:10‬ ‭CEB‬‬

Translation: If you’re not responsible with little, you won’t be responsible with much. It’s like a poor man winning the lottery & going buck wild because he’s not used to wealth. He blows through those millions and ends up back in the same spot: broke. That’s why I say you can tell who’s not used to money by how they spend their wealth. Some of the wealthiest people dress regular because they have nothing to prove or people to impress.

Who Eats First? Kids Or Husband

 Who Eats First? Man Or Kids

From time to time, this subject is debated on social media. Like Jordan vs. Lebron, this debate is infinite. Some people feel the kids should be fed first, others think it's the man. Those who feel the man should be served first understand it as honoring the provider, but...a provider would also make sure everyone eats before him. When I was coming up, my parents would feed me & my brother first, then we started fixing our plates once we got older. 

Repost from Nikki Brooks (FB friend):

"That’s what I’m saying. The hypocrisy of one calling themselves a provider, but then refusing to allow the children to eat until they have been served is crazy.

What’s lost on a lot of folks is how generational toxic masculinity actually hurt and wounded so many men that they have changed the narratives because they refuse to be their fathers.

And honestly, the kids and family units are so much better now."

This the one. I can't call myself a provider if my kids are starving while I'm eating; I wouldn't feel right. Besides, making sure my kids eat first is part of sacrificing for them. They're growing kids so they need their strength to grow up healthy & strong. It's not about me, it's about them. I can eat anytime, but my kids need to eat first. Shout out to all men BREAKING generational curses because they don't want to be their toxic fathers. I'm old school with a modern twist. Generational toxic masculinity needs to be destroyed and thrown into a river of fire & brimstone because it's done too much damage to men, and the black community as a whole. Let me get Biblical and say: Leaders are servants. Leaders have to put others ahead of themselves. So while men are barking about being fed the biggest piece of chicken, most of them don't realize that indirectly, they're providing for their families. Every move they make, whether good or bad will affect themselves & their families. What it boils down to is dynamics: Some men prefer to be fed first, other husbands have no problem feeding their family first. I know for me, if I had a family, they're eating first, then me. I don't need to eat first in order to prove that I'm the man of the house.

Old-School Discipline: Whoopings

 

Old-school discipline was how most black children were raised. Black parents believed in sparing the rod & spoiling the child. While that's Biblical, the same Bible instructs parents not to provoke their children to anger. I thought this question was worth writing on because it makes parents think about how they were raised, vs. the alternative discipline more black parents are using today. Both have their place, but for me...I was raised with old-school parents who used the belt as a last resort. All it took was a look from either of my folks and that was it. When I did get spankings, my parents explained to me why I received them, and I did my best not to repeat the same offense that warranted them. I do think constant whoopings can cause issues in children later on in life if they're done out of anger. From self-esteem issues to teaching kids to react with violence, the side effects of constant whoopings are documented, so that's why many black parents (or parents in general) are going towards alternative discipline. I'll say this: Each child requires a different form of discipline. Some kids react fine to spankings & the occasional smack, other children, not so much. Today's kids are a different breed with the disrespect because when I was coming up, I would NOT have gotten by with a fraction of the disrespect today's kids give their parents, and other authority figures.

Biden Regime (Repost)

 Repost (Jackie Boulle):

The Biden regime has enforced mandatory vaccines for all healthcare, peace officers, rescue workers, and military. But that’s not enough now they’re after our kids. If you want them in school..which means low options for single parents trying to survive plus homeschool? Parents are one step away from both CPS removing their children for neglect says Biden administration. Also being inserted into re-education camps & mental health counseling? Who’s the crazy one here…?!? Excuse the hell out of me? Oh also the icing on the cake is this… $450,000 dollars Biden & Kamala want to pay EACH illegal immigrants. This country is 100% DOOMED!!!

My response: People wanted Trump gone, they got him out. Only problem is, Biden is undoing everything good Trump has done. Trump was brash; he could’ve done more to condemn racist white supremacy & crack down on corrupt law enforcement officers, but that’s another blog topic for another time. I can’t be too upset because I’ve been paying enough attention to know this was coming. Too bad those who didn’t vote for Biden have to suffer with those who voted for a liberal agenda.

For My Believers

Nothing can stop God’s children that walk in faith. If God can bring dry bones to life, he can do a new thing in us that believe. 

The Lesser Of 2 Evils Is Still Evil

Evil is evil, no matter how much people try to lessen it. I hate when people use that term “lesser of two evils.”
