I SEE You!

Was that an accident or did you intend to go out with your bottom showing? Noooooo, I want to believe it's a mistake. Well if you did, can I please give you a few tips on proper attire?


It hasn’t been that long ago when people left the house, especially women, with class. Their hair was styled, their clothes were ironed, their shoes were shined and polished, their clothes did not show any tears or dirt on them, and they smelled nice. (ALL WOMEN ARE NOT BUILT THE SAME, SO WEAR CLOTHES THAT COMPLIMENT YOUR SHAPE)


 As a child, it didn't matter what time of the day, what day of the week, hot or cold; you never saw Mr. Deacon Jenkins in anything else but a suit, white shirt, tie, and hat. (Picture above is not actual person) Now I know many of you are taking this literally. No one would work out in a suit; but there are locker rooms to change once you get there (smile) Or you would not wear a dress and heals to play softball. But to put it in perspective, we should iron our clothes before we put them on; and make sure we will not get noticed for indecent exposure!

Fashion trends come and go and torn jeans are a big trend now; however, it depends where they are torn and how you wear them. For instance, torn around the bottom and your bottom shows ~ Oops! Whew ~ put on a nice pair of stylish leggings underneath them, and wear a nice shirt, put on make-up and sport a cute hair style ~ as shown below


INAPPROPRIATE!

APPROPRIATE!


Proper dress does not have to be uncomfortable or dressed up all the time. Carry yourself with respect and you will receive likewise. After all you are representing God, your family and yourself!

WORK ATTIRE

 But clothe yourself with the Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah), and make no provision for [indulging] the flesh [put a stop to thinking about the evil cravings of your physical nature] to [gratify its] desires (lusts). Romans 13:14 AMP

Can I "Love" You This Much?

Negative words tear people down and exposes them.  "Every prudent man deals with knowledge, but a [self-confident] fool exposes and flaunts his folly." (Proverbs 13:16 AMPC)  (Folly biblical definition: 2a. : criminally or tragically foolish actions or conduct. b. obsolete : evil, wickedness especially : lewd behavior.) Confronting someone is different than badgering someone! Badgering means to repeatedly pester.  "By pride and insolence comes only contention, but with well-advised is skillful and Godly Wisdom." (Proverbs 13:10 AMPC)  When we lovingly and patiently correct others the response will be peaceful, loving and accepting also; however, words spoken in anger and with the intention to hurt, comes from a malicious and wicked heart. Hurtful words repeatedly play over in a person's mind (like a broken record) of how they don't measure up to the World's standards; therefore putting that person in the forefront of a sure target for Sat...

God is in "Control"!

The students who marched boldly, stepped out and reached out to gain the attention of our leaders. It is a sad situation and the act of violence that truly needs to cease! As I briefly listened, the stories were not just with our schools, but in our communities, our homes, and our jobs. We are in harms way every where we go. It's not the guns, or is it poverty, wealth or the situation our lives have turned to; it's deeper than that! It comes back to the fear, the anger, and the hate that is warring in our spirit and soul to ignite the violence and use weapons that destroy and kill.  Picture Courtesy of my nephew Dere While listening to the protestors, I heard anger, fear, and exhaustion in their voices also; because they too want change that moves all of us to a state of "Peace" and "Love"!  Not so long ago, we heard, "Black lives matter"; and now it's back to addressing the numerous and continuous shootings in the schools.  The struggl...

It's About Time!

You are given $100; however, you cannot keep it. You have to give it away to a charity or a person. Who would you give it to and why?  This is a question that the students I was substituting for was given to journal. Almost all of the students argued that $100 was not enough money to give to anybody. "Hmmmm", I said. You can do quite a bit with $100  - - - - - -  Our Sunday School class did it with pennies! "How", the students asked. All of the Sunday school classes were informed that it doesn't take much to give to others and if they would begin to bring in pennies, we would be able to give back to those in need. The first year, they gathered enough pennies to provide a Turkey dinner and the roaster to cook it in for a family of five. In addition to providing clothing for a child at Christmas. Each year the giving of pennies grew; whereas, the giving to others in the community grew as well. So if they can do it with pennies, you can do it with $100. Wh...
