Meet You Halfway

I’m not a particularly big fan of compromise. Let me explain.  When it comes to God and His Word, it is absolute. There are no loopholes with God. You can’t do what you want want (against His Word) and expect no repercussions. Thus, anything that causes me to compromise my salvation or the standards God…

We Will Rise Above

It’s been an emotional week. If I thought people were nasty before the election, then I surely was not prepared for the storm of ugliness that awaited me after the election results. Personally, my emotions were all over the place. Anger. Sadness. Dejection. Disbelief. Numbness. I was even on the verge of tears. It wasn’t…

Campaign Season

The gong show that is the 2016 Presidential Election is almost over, and I couldn’t be happier. Unfortunately, the damage has been done. And it’s ugly. I have never seen as much vitriol in the American people as I’ve seen within the past year. Let me rephrase. I have never seen this much hate with my…

Debate Night: Part 2

Tonight was debate number two for the 2016 Presidential Election, and it was painful. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton had one of the worst presidential debates in modern history. I would venture to say it holds the title of the worst. These two sounded like toddlers screaming in Wal-Mart. Trump dodged questions and rambled. Hillary…

It’s Debate Night

The night we have all anticipated has come. The Presidential debate came in all of its glory, and it was just as entertaining as everyone thought it would be. The two candidates for the two major political parties did not disappoint.Republican Party candidate, Donald Trump, was his usual self. Flinging accusations at his opponent. Painting…

The Forgotten

Editor’s Note: This is from one of my statuses on Facebook posted on 9/11/15. I’ve added to it because I feel like there’s a bit more to explore. Enjoy!! On this day in 2001, America was terrorized. People’s lives were lost. Law Enforcement, fire fighters, and first responders died for their fellow Americans. On this…

It’s a Simple Question

The BET Awards the last few years have been filled with nonsense. In fact, the further I distance myself from my old life,the more I wonder why I watched BET. That being said, it is no surprise that I skipped this year’s awards. I had absolutely no intention on watching them, and I’m still glad I…

Lies the TV Told You

In my search for quotes for the three days three quotes challenge (I’m way past due on this thing), I ran across the following words. I couldn’t help but think about how much it holds true today. “The media is the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty…

America On Fire

I cringe as I watch America’s presidential election unfold before my eyes. To be clear, I don’t have any interest in the frontrunners for the Republican, Democratic, or Libertarian parties. In fact, I believe there’s corruption in ALL of the political parties. Probably more than we know. I shake my head at my friends who…

The Love Affair with Free Speech

If there’s one amendment that is known nationwide, it is the First Amendment. It is as follows: Okay, so let me rephrase. A portion of the First Amendment is known nationwide, and that is…. Freedom of speech. Americans love that right. The right to speak our minds when we get good and ready. The right…

Super Tuesday

Are we really going to do this? Seriously. Are we really going to elect Donald Trump as the Republican nominee for President of the United States? The man who won’t denounce the Klu Klux Klan. The man who wants to build a wall between Mexico and the United States. The man who will openly, brashly…

Why I am Going to Vote

If you’ve been paying any attention to the news, then you’ll know this is a presidential election year. Although nominees for the respective parties have not been announced (to my knowledge), candidates have announced their bid and debates are on-going. Truthfully, there is not one person running for President of the United States that has…
