Good morning and Marvelous Monday. As we come to the final blog teaching in the month of Reflection and Projection in December based on Psalms 121:1-6, Philippians 1:19-23 and 2nd Timothy 4:6-8 as a teacher of the word of God I at times struggle with things. I am going to school and graduating from college is important to me. I am working one full-time job that at times is demanding dealing with the attitudes of some people and then seeing others whom I respect and admire being let go of constantly. I work a part-time job and see that my great customer service skills are not being recognized and it seems as they use me as they see fit. I am still not in communication with my sons, whom I love which also means I am not seeing my grandchildren. Writing these blogs for myself and even for the church is time consuming and giving a brief teaching on Facebook daily is becoming a pain. It seems like I am at a crossroads of To Be Or Not To Be ( A Christian).
To Be Or Not To Be is a quote from the play written by Shakespeare called Hamlet. Prince Hamlet is going through a lot such as the death of his Father and the marriage of his mother to the person who
murdered his father. Hamlet contemplates death and suicide with this question. There are times when this teaching the gospel makes me just want to stop and live my life. To Be Or Not To Be.
In beginning this teaching of To Be Or Not To Be I go Philippians 1:19-20. In these verses Paul writes of although he is in a prison that he will be delivered and that he will chose Christ always.
There are times that I know that Christ is with me and I want to be bold but I look at others who seem to prosper by not even believing in God and I want to quit. To Be Or Not To Be.
In going to Philippians 1:21-22 in this passage Paul writes about how being a believer of Christ is to live and even in death we as Christians gain. But it means as long as I live I have to do the work such
as teach by blogging or continuing to be part of a mentor programs. I am tired and just want to do my own thing and live my life like every one else. To Be Or Not To Be.
As I go the Word of God one final time in this teaching of To Be Or Not To Be I go to Philippians 1:23. In this verse Paul writes about receiving his heavenly reward or being here on earth. As I see
that although there are those in the world who are living and doing better than I am here on earth and may not believe in Christ the prospect of a heavenly reward far outweighs all. To Be Or Not To Be.
As I end this teaching I chose to continue to press forward and teach the Word of God through social media. This is my assignment. There are some who have a calling that is different from mine. You may be gifted enough to be a factor in the arts and entertainment world. You may be talented enough to have your business be a focal point in advancing the kingdom. There are those who can change the dynamics of the family structure, make education of Christ be their ministry. There are many who are tired as I am, who has a plate full of things like I do and who see others do well or better than them. But we have to chose to Be With Christ no matter what as eternal life and even a great life here on earth exist when we continue doing his work. To Be Or Not To Be? Which do you chose for 2015? I give God all the glory and honor for this teaching and ask him to bless all who read this. Join me Saturday for the theme for the Year 2015. Happy New Year all.
Good morning and Happy Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. This past month I was riding with my friend Angela Francis. On this particular day she had to go get her hair done and her friend Roxanne' shop. I had done this numerous times in the past so when I was getting ready to leave I told Angela I was going to the forest preserve to sit and wait as she got her hair done. At the forest preserve I would be able to do two things while I was there. I would be able to think of ideas for my blog, my radio show and my daily postings on Facebook. When you attempt to write you sometimes get writer's block and need to get to a different atmosphere ( Hmmm Writer's Block may be a blog soon LOL ). The other reason I wanted to go to the forest preserve is because it was hot that day and I needed some shade. So as I approached the forest preserve I put on my left turn signal and waited for traffic coming southbound to clear. After
Good morning and Happy Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. Growing up we used to love to take pictures. Maybe not myself because I had a self confidence problem, but everywhere you went there was someone taking pictures. In grammar school we took pictures every week. In high school we took them every year. At church we took pictures. In the club we took pictures as a group to show we all went to a party. Most of the pictures we took were with a Polaroid camera which had great quality then. But if you wanted the best pictures you wanted the photographer to take your pictures. This was one of the coolest professions back then because all the ladies who wanted to be models or actresses had to go to the photographer to get that photo to take to the different agencies to show how they look. So in order to get the best quality the photographer had to go someplace where he could get the best results. It was his Dark Room. This is the na
Good morning and Happy Friday. The summer is now beginning and the weather is now reaching its highest temperatures. It has reached a high point of 90's so far in the Chicagoland area and it appears to be nothing in sight to relieve us of these conditions that are almost drought like. As the summer gets ready to start in earnest next week we anticipate the warmest temps of the year after a winter that saw a little snow but the hawk, ( that's what we call the wind in the CHI ) was in full effect. But the sun has been out daily and we need a little moisture in our lives. We expect things to get wet in order for us to not only cool off but to wash away some things and bring a freshness of new things in our lives. The hotness of the weather coincides with the hotness in our lives. We need things to cool off a little bit but need some things to come down so we can enjoy the things in our lives that is promised to us as Christians. We are faithful and trusting in his Word. So as we
