ENCOURAGEMENT: Before You Die There Is One Thing You Must Know and Do!

It is more than sad, unfortunate, egregious, or a crying shame for a person to leave this earth having never known, or having known but never having lived, their divine purpose in life. Such an existence, specifically in the latter case, is absolutely criminal. Indeed, it is a colossal personal loss, a very, very serious human rights violation, and an extreme offense against God who did not predestine His creatures to walk the earth aimlessly and without purpose. On the contrary, God ordained a… Continue

When you lose friends!

This year has been brutal and thought provoking. Loss is a loss,no matter how it comes. My Mom said to me one day as we sat on the porch, my face drawn and pensive, the corner's of my mouth turned down. She said," All great loves end in tragedy, either by death or seperation"! I shall never forget that day, it was shortly after she had lost her husband/Poppa to Cancer, most of you know I lost a little one to cancer just three years ago. Even though I know those who have passed over are free from… Continue

ENCOURAGEMENT: Ascending the Stairway of Gratitude

His stories were definitely saddening and even horrifying. He told of one loss after another, after another, after another … including at times feeling like almost losing his mind. He mentioned one setback after another, after another, after another … and how he, though completely jaded, would always manage to muster up the strength to continue working towards fulfilling his dreams and attaining his goals in spite of very difficult delays. He spoke of one failure after another, after another, af… Continue

SAVE MONEY: Stop Being Wasteful! You Don’t Need a TV, TiVo, Cable or Satellite Service!

WARNING: The following statements may cause confusion, sheer disbelief, shock, pity, or even tears in many people, namely you television, TiVo, cable or satellite loving folk. Get ready for this. Believe it or not I have never had cable television in my entire adult life. It’s true. It’s true. Come to think of it, I don’t recall watching much, if any, cable TV as an adolescent either. And you can forget about TiVo and satellite service! I know, I know, this sounds totally fabricated. Al… Continue

ENCOURAGEMENT: To Date or Not to Date? That is the Question!

Dating is usually an uncommitted or non-monogamous sexual pastime that can last a day or span decades. In most cases the goal of one of the daters, especially if the individual is already married or involved with another person or other people, is not the land of wedded bliss, nor even the attainment of a blissful friendship. Generally the objective of the dater(s) is immediate gratification of the basest urges, be they emotional/psychological, physical, and/or financial. This premarital or ext… Continue

SAVE MONEY: Don’t Replace Your O2 Sensor, Not Yet

When I hear any noise coming from my baby, or when I see any lights pop up on the dashboard, I freak out. My baby is a 1999, over 130,000 mile old, but very reliable (THANK YOU LORD!!!) Toyota Corolla that I intend to gleefully drive until he absolutely cannot be driven any longer. Even though I know my baby is a very good car I still panic something awful when he makes noises or when he lights up. After all, he is old and he is aging. In the past 5 years the oxygen sensor has triggered the eng… Continue

ENCOURAGEMENT: “Here’s Looking at You …” and Your Healthy, Beautiful Skin!!!

(NOTE: This is Part I of the Skin Care Series.) Male or female; young, old or in between; black, white, mixed, striped, pokey dot or other, who in their right mind doesn’t want to be (more) attractive and to be as pleasing to look at as they can possibly be until the day they take their last breath?! I’ll be the first to raise both my hands and my feet too because I do not at all believe that desiring and working to attain, maintain or improve on radiantly clear, firm, smooth, youthful,… Continue

the lawful kings of Ethiopia were descended from Solomon, King of Israel

Menyelek was performing the Will of God in removing the Tabernacle of Zion from Jerusalem, as God was satisfied that the Jews were unworthy to be custodians of the Ark wherein His Presence was, and the Ark wished to depart. Ethiopia had stretched out her hands to God (Psalm 68:31) and He went to her with the Ark, to preside over Menyelek's kingdom, which was established in accordance with the commandments that He had given Moses and the prophets and priests of Israel.

SAVE MONEY: Is This Program a “Real Commitment to Education?”

I was filled with an unbelievable amount of joy when I learned of this program that could greatly facilitate parents’ efforts to home school their child/children or supplement their child’s/children’s education with a home study course. In fact, had I been judged at the very moment of my discovery my jubilation probably would have been misinterpreted as being that of a parent or at least an aunt or someone who is involved in a child’s life. The judge would have misjudged. I’m neither, not yet. N… Continue

ENCOURAGEMENT: Financial Recession or Unlimited Holistic Progression?

Have you ever read anywhere in scripture anything even remotely similar to the following: Thus saith the LORD, God, When the American dollar starts falling, when the economy starts failing, when the country slips into a recession or depression I, God, will have to ration out blessings to My Children, My People, My Servants, because in that day I won’t be able to supply all their needs? Nowhere in God’s word does it come close to saying anything like this. However, the Bible does contain the foll… Continue

ENCOURAGEMENT: Holistic Encouragement: Your Invitation to a Fantastic Spiritual, Psychological, Physical, Familial, and Financial Voyage!

(NOTE: This is Part 2 of a 3 part introduction to me and to this blog. Part I is the introduction to me.) “When you reach the end of your rope you have to tie a knot so you can hold on a little longer.” I was given this advice as a teenager. Since then I’ve reached the end of my rope countless times and have had to tie many knots in an effort to avoid falling. I wasn’t always successful in my attempts to hold on. Fortunately, whenever I did fall Divine Love always caught me. Divine Mercy… Continue
