Remembering Grandma....

Owen Pride, Grandma how we long for your wisdom. Grandma known as Mama because it was your love and comfort that was there when needed, there just because, there even today in our heart. Grandma ever so missed but is seen in the generation's of your Grandchildren and Great -Great Grandchildren. Not to much of anything can bring such Joy with a sting of pain because we often think. Wow if Grandma was Here today I would, Or We would and They Could have a a chance to Experience what we Have when we Had you here with us Physically. But no matter Grandma. We have you spiritually, We call upon your Wisdom and your Word's to guide us. You are Gone Grandma but Never Forgotten.
Love, from Your Seed your DNA your Legacy.

Change is an action word

By Verna Steele

I was thinking about some of the literature that we put out there (people in general no one in particular)


We oftentimes verbalize our frustration and desire to be change, yet individually and collectively we do very little


Knowledge is key, applied knowledge is power…. We can not continue to make verbal declaration of CHANGE and not move on it.


Change is an action word…………………………….


I see the people in our neighborhood put updates on facebook and they start each day Thanking the Lord God who is ahead of their lives and the rest of the day their updates are filled with perversion, lust, profanity and other topical conversations that bring absolutely no Glory to the God they mentioned this morning.
Really, do we think that God is setting somewhere with his chest poked out thinking “ I am the man” because someone gave them Glory, I don’t think so.
He has no identity issues and if he don’t tell him how great he is someone else will.


Change is evident it is an emotion to be displayed  Energy in motions (e-motions)
I see the filth of our hands all the time and we have great expectation for God, but what are we willing to sacrifice to come into compliance with him.


The mentality of our people is “ ME DO BUT ME DON’T “

When our Sisters Speak, Our Youngest Sisters should always listen...

By Brandy Williams


No offense to anyone in regards to this status! But, I wish there could be an age limit on when a female could have kids. I mean, these little girls having babies when they don't have a clue about instilling morals, values, respect and regards about life. Then, there are the grandparents that are literally a decade older that's living the same kind of life as there kids. It's becoming a domino effect and major problems in our community. People please stop embracing foolishness! Just because you had kids young and by different baby daddy's, didn't finish high school, drink, smoke, don't work and just simply not trying to better yourself don't allow your children to follow in your footsteps. Each generation is suppose to be better in all aspects. I hate that a lot of the bad issues in our community have become the NORM! STOP HAVING KIDS WHEN YOU'RE JUST A KID! STOP THE VIOLENCE! STOP THE IGNORANCE! STOP SETTLING! We are a RACE that is going to be left behind and we can no longer blame it on the WHITE MAN!
