Hello, blog followers and family! For this week’s blog, I endeavor to embark on a ship of discourse that has dominated our current news cycle. By the Good Lord’s grace, I am praying to process and position this topic in a manner that is put forward in faith and in the Spirit of God. This is an essential objective because what is done in the flesh will never please our Father God. Moreover, it is always unprofitable in the economy of our Eternal God.
Read MoreAs faithful followers of our Father God, we know that we have a gracious and giving God. He shares with us from the Scriptures that we are not deficient when it comes to what we need. And what God gives comes from the goodness of His heart.
Read MoreHello, my fellow blog recipients! This is Bernard, the Baby Boomer, with this week’s blog. Now a “Baby Boomer” is generally defined as an individual born between the years 1946 and 1964 during the post–World War II baby boom. When I was growing up, I remember the government giving me and my family Government cheese. As a child, I always wondered why the cheese did not come from the local supermarkets like A&P or Piggly Wiggly. Also, my grasp of the government, that is the form or system of rule by which a state, community, etc., is governed, was extremely limited as a four-year-old child.

This sentiment is echoed in the phrase: ”There is no place like home.” According to Dictionary.com, the phrase “There is no place like home” means that home is the best of all places. This saying originates from the song “Home, Sweet Home” that was written by American lyricist John Howard Payne and English composer Sir Henry Bishop. “Home, Sweet Home” was originally included in an opera first produced in London in 1823. The song became intensely popular throughout the United States. When our nation was explosively engaged in a Civil war between the Union (North) and the Confederates (South) the song Home Sweet Home was a favorite for the soldiers of both sides.
Read MoreOn December 11, 2002, a brand-new reality television series launched on ABC called Extreme Makeover. The show brings attention to the actions of ordinary men and women engaged in "extreme makeovers" which may involve them subjecting themselves to plastic surgery, exercise regimens, hairdressing and wardrobing. As a result of the incredible transforming external makeover, the participants are lavished with “oohs” and “ahhs” and a floodgate of tears of joys from their significant love ones. Thus, they experienced an extreme makeover by a team of medical, fitness, cosmetic, and fashionable experts. These were individuals that enjoyed the knowledge, the means, and the power to alter the appearance of the participants.
Read MoreIn last week’s blog, I invited you to consider with me the essentiality of exercising wisdom with those in this world who are void of wisdom. Those without wisdom in this world refers to the condition of men and women who walk with a will which consequently cancels communion with God. It is no secret that the secular humanist and their sycophants are absolutely attached mentally, emotionally, and especially spiritually to an anti-Christ spirit. This is unequivocally evident in our political, judicial, educational, medical, scientific, and entertainment systems with their attitudes and actions against our Judeo-Christian ethics. In addition, consider the contributions of the multi-headed leviathan of liberal churches and seminaries who are in sync with a condescending sentiment on the veracity and infallibility of Scripture.
Read MoreFor this week’s blog I invite you to consider with me the essentiality of exercising wisdom with those in this world who are void of wisdom. Those in the world without wisdom connotes the condition of men and women who walk with a will that cancels communion with God. Our opening text identifies individuals that are without; without means “without, out of doors.” Therefore, those without wisdom are outside the doors of both religion and a relationship with God.

Read MoreFor this week’s blog entry, I was encouraged to elucidate on conflict resolution in relationships. All of us are familiar with the fixture of relationships in our human experience. We all have different relationships with spouses, parents, children, employers and fellow employees. Some of them move in smoothness providing an abundance of joy. Others provide an abundance of jail time and a yoke of unpleasantness.
Read MoreHas there ever been an event in your life for which you had no answer? You know, the kind of event that causes your heart to pound so loudly and so quickly that your mind is forced to keep the same pace but then they suddenly both come to an abrupt stop? No, during these events you are not dead but delayed by a disconnect of discernment. Before you can connect back to clarity, your mind and heart have been supplanted by questions that you know cannot be answered. Questions such as “What just happened? What is going on? Is this really happening? Can you believe what I am seeing?” overwhelm your mind. They demand to be answered!
