KUMBAYAH my Lord

  I feel like singing! I need you, Lord, I'm crying and praying, desiring to be in a position to make my calling and election as I wait for you to come! When you come Lord, come by here! A song by The Natural Branches says, "Let my record show that I did my best and I fought a good fight" if it's my time to go. Have mercy on me Oh God. Psalm 71  1  In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion. 2  Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thine ear unto me, and save me. 3  Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress. 4  Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. 5  For thou art my hope, O Lord God: thou art my trust from my youth. 6  By thee have I been holden up from the womb: thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels: my praise shall be continually

Let the Children Play!

It is important for children to play, early. In light of the growing disunity and violence raging with the minds of the nation's adolescent youth, researchers are investigating various methods for dealing with the problem. However, those who are experienced in teaching our youngsters conflict resolutions and behavior management, have discovered that good old-fashioned play is a viable use to combat disruptive behavior. Unfortunately, children are often left in swings and baby seats, left in front of the television watching videos, or left to play on an iPad and Tablets void human conversation, eye contact, and old-fashioned play.  It started with Sesame Street parenting and has escalated out of control. Play as a therapeutic tool, through project-based learning, is one of the central components of our professional development program, which modifies behavior in disruptive youngsters. Play is as vital as love, good nutrition, care, and hope. It is very important in the learning and

No, Not in the church!

  Marriage and Divorce The way I am addressing this topic is one of controversy in the church.  Moses allowed divorce because of the hardness of men's hearts.  You ever lived with a hard-hearted man, I am here to tell you that it "t'an't nothin" nice.  "In the beginning, it wasn't so", but neither was polygamy, meat-eating, and a whole lot of other things.  The Lord said he hated divorce, and most of us do too, but he didn't say it didn't need to happen nor did he say it won’t going to happen.  Well, guess what?   "Shit happens!", It's life in this crazy, mad, evil world.  Sometimes bad things, things that are taboo, unspeakable things;  they do happen and very often we become better when it happens.  Yes, if each of us performed our duties in the manner in which the scripture dictates there would be no need for living with the pain of abuse nor would there be a need for divorce. It is often about intimacy, being admired, smil

Ten Quick Tips to Show Love to Others

  Meditate on 1 Corinthians 13:13 and let God fill you with His love so you can share the love with others.  Encourage your loved ones, hug them, and tell them you know they can do whatever they put their minds to, and reassure them you will help.  Love the people closest to you. Pray for others. Give your heart in prayer and intercession for others. Stand in the gap for them. Keep praying until you see a change. Make someone feel special by paying very close attention to them, listening to them attentively, staying focused, sharing their pain and worries, and encouraging them to stay strong. Share the words of kindness they need. Make them laugh. Give someone who needs it a smile and a hug. This is simple and does not cost you a thing.  Use your voice to edify others. Just be joyful and share it with others. Volunteer your time to help the needy, visit the homeless, the fatherless, the orphans, the elderly, and the widows. Adopt a single-parent family; look around you. There are plent

Becoming a Praying Woman

            There is so much tragedy in urban communities. Black on Black crime runs rampant, while police shoot our men like animals in most urban city streets. We exist in a conundrum. We are living in a time of Jeremiah 51:20 were our sons are standing on corners angry as wild bulls in a net filled with the fury of the Lord. Residents in our community believe we are under constant media attacks. This may be so, but we must also look at the source for the attack. In just about every urban place where we live, we see news of youth violence, one Black person killing another, and of course police brutality against. Is it the media attacking our community? Could it be ‘US’ not digging deeply into ourselves and purging those hidden evils and debaucheries that only we, and ‘me’ and Jesus can see? We are supposed to ’be’ a nation of Kings, Queens, Leaders, and Priests. Do you think if we could figure out how to ‘be’ ourselves with integrity we could be a nation of Kings, Queens, Leaders, an
