Sunday Morning Solitude 2008-07-27 10:50:00 I am often chastised and frowned upon by members of my family and the extended community which I refer to as the immediate world around me simply because I don't attend church on a regular basis. Truth be known, I rarely ever attend church.Don't get me wrong, I am a strong Believer and Advocate for the teachings and works of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I can see the awesomeness of His power Read more:Sunday

Life in 3D 2008-07-26 23:45:00
I've always considered myself an optimist. I look for the good in man or as MaDear (my MaDear not Tyler Perry) used to say - "we all got some good deep on the inside".
Lately it's becoming more and more difficult to "look for the good"; let alone find any during your search - when everything points in the opposite direction.
I've been perusing the news headlines tonight online and there isn't m

How To Name Your Blog 2008-07-18 22:48:00 by Stephen FreinSince I just joined the teeming masses who think that their personal musings are somehow worthy of being recorded for all the world to see, I thought it would be an opportune time to tell you how I came to name my blog.Of course, I don't think anyone really cares about the history of the name of my particular blog (such an interest would qualify a person as a ninth-level etymology
Using The "N" Word As a Term of Endearment? 2008-07-18 10:55:00 On Thursday morning, "The View" had another heated debate similar to those of days gone by when Rosie O'Donnell shared a seat at the round table.This time it was Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Whoopi Goldberg who were sparring partners.Tempers began to flare when Hasselbeck expressed her shock and outrage over Jesse Jackson's use of the "N" word (a misfortune Jackson won't easily live down) when referri
Are we on the cusp of A Dream being Realized? 2008-08-11 02:28:00 On August 28th 1963, he stood up at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC and told 250,000 euphoric supporters of his dream for racial equality. Dr King's words are still instantly recognizable even four decades later. In fact it will be the 45th anniversary of this famous and thought provoking speech that Senator Barack Obama will address the Democrat Party, the nation, and the world at the Democ Read more:Dream

Posts of The Day 2008-08-10 10:58:00 Sundays are generally a special day for most of us. As Christians, we honor, give thanks and praises to the Lord everyday. However Sundays are a day of fellowship, reflection and on occasion - renewal. So in keeping with this very special day, I would like to acknowledge my fellow bloggers who's posts I've read this morning. Many of them have given me cause to reflect about where I am in my life a
Diary of A MAD WOMAN.... 2008-08-10 03:26:00 It's official. I am certifiably mad. No my friends...I don't mean angry, furious, indignant or wrathful. I mean INSANE! Any of you that have been checking in on me since I started blogging know that I've changed the template of my blog 732 times! I just don't seem to be able to satisfy my aesthetic palette. With each template change I vow that I'm not going through it again (at least not for a whi Read more:Diary

Obama's No Ditch Digger 2008-08-07 12:14:00 I sure do miss my Madea. For folks who are uncertain about that term, it is a term stitched deep into the fabric of the black family unit in America. It's the term I would venture to guess about 75-80% of African Americans use affectionately when referring to their grandmother.MaDea (condensed version of mother dear) became popular in the mainstream thanks to the beloved character Tyler Perry ofte Read more:Obama

Parents - How Perceptions Change As We Age 2008-08-04 10:10:00 There are few times in life that I can truly and unequivocally state that I've experienced an epiphany. However, realizing that my mother, a woman who provided me with a pristine example of what a woman and mother are, was simply flying by the seat of her pants was a stark revelation for me. She was, in essence, deciding as she went along, using her own intuition and perceptions rather than a pre- Read more:Parents

Opposing Reparations for Slavery - That's Right!! 2008-08-03 01:21:00 The President of the National Urban League Marc Moriel asked the following question: "What steps should we take as a nation to alleviate the effects of racial exclusion and racial discrimination?"There isn't anything that can be done to alleviate the effects of racial exclusion and/or discrimination in this country.

Barack Obama - The Messiah? 2008-08-02 06:42:00 As a Christian African American woman, I find it very distasteful to hear people attempt to label what Sen. BarackObama
is trying to accomplish in this country as the mere fanatical tactics of a man with a Messiah
complex.In one of Sen. John McCain's latest "low tactic" ads geared toward attacking Obama's character it opens with the lines "It shall be known that in 2008 the world will be blessed Read more:Barack Obama

Get High or Die Trying 2008-07-29 06:40:00 Morning peeps. Just perusing the net again this morning for whatever jaw dropping news was lurking around the search engine corner waiting to pounce on me with all four.

I Don't Get It... 2008-07-28 08:31:00 I know everybody has heard, seen or talked to someone that heard or saw the New Yorker magazine's incendiary "satirical lampoon" aimed at squashing the ridiculous notions outlined in the cartoon from the minds of those simpletons who actually view him this way.I was certainly disturbed by it. But I guess it just goes with the territory. And to add injury to insult Vanity Fair made their own cover
