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.

  How can we SOLVE violence in Chicago? Let's examine a map of Chicago to see where all the killing is happening. Next, let's determine who the alderman is. What kind of tasks do they perform in their ward? The precinct captions are Who? Who are the home and property owners in these areas? Who leases their real estate? What was the selection procedure? How frequently do they inspect their buildings? Next, what schools are in the area? Who are the administrators of those schools? Does each school have a behavior management team? What are their roles and responsibilities? What continuous and comprehensive training do they need? What resources and training in restorative justice and de-escalation can we provide for the teachers? How can we give control of the school's classrooms and hallways back to the adults? Also, where are the churches in those neighborhoods? Who are the ministers? What services do they offer in the community? What have they done in these neighborhoods...

In Leviticus 23, it is commanded to fast at least one day each year for spiritual reasons and as part of God’s plan to usher in his kingdom. However, there is a hidden health benefit. Once a year, God allowed us to rebook our immune systems. He’s thoughtful like that. What happens, though, when we make intermittent fasting part of our lifestyle? Recent scientific evidence suggests fasting reduces liver triglycerides and increases the expression of genes that prevent fat from being stored in the liver (Muenchen 2016).   Fasting is also associated with increased lifespan and reduced risk of diseases, including cancer and diabetes. What are triglycerides? They are a type of fat, also called lipid, found in the blood. Our bodies convert calories it does not need right away into triglycerides when we eat.  These fats, lipids, are then stored in the body’s fat cells for later use between meals. When we make it a habit of eating   more calories from high carbohydrate foods t...
