I &lt;strong&gt;love&lt;/strong&gt; that you can fall in love with the same person more than once.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I &lt;strong&gt;love&lt;/strong&gt; that making love is more mental than physical.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I &lt;strong&gt;love&lt;/strong&gt; that people can change.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I &lt;strong&gt;love&lt;/strong&gt; that we can create our own peace.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&lt;strong&gt; love&lt;/strong&gt; that we can learn from our mistakes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I &lt;strong&gt;love&lt;/strong&gt; that we can be healed through forgiveness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I &lt;strong&gt;love&lt;/strong&gt; we can procreate a mini me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I &lt;strong&gt;love&lt;/strong&gt; that our kids admire us no matter what our circumstances are&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
as long as we are in there life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I &lt;strong&gt;love&lt;/strong&gt; that we can meet that special some1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I &lt;strong&gt;love&lt;/strong&gt; that we can’t just fall in love with anybody.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&lt;strong&gt; love&lt;/strong&gt; that we persevere.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I &lt;strong&gt;love&lt;/strong&gt; that we can always do something different.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I &lt;strong&gt;love&lt;/strong&gt; that a smile goes a long way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I &lt;strong&gt;love&lt;/strong&gt; that we speak things into existence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I &lt;strong&gt;love&lt;/strong&gt; that unconditional love does exist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I &lt;strong&gt;love&lt;/strong&gt; that we mature.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I &lt;strong&gt;love&lt;/strong&gt; that the weather changes &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I &lt;strong&gt;love&lt;/strong&gt; that if we give it to God we can do all things&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I &lt;strong&gt;love&lt;/strong&gt; that I’m not a finished product &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;One argument that people tend to make regarding salvation or “being saved” is whether or not you can lose it or not. Paul said in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN" style="color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN;"&gt;Colossians 1:21-23: &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;“If indeed you continue in the faith”&lt;/b&gt; means it is possible you might not continue in faith. In other words, there is eternal security in &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;Christ&lt;/b&gt; as long as you stay in &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;Christ. &lt;/b&gt;No one can steal your salvation or force you into losing your salvation. God will not let you go. However, I believe the word teaches us that it is possible for a &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;Christians &lt;/b&gt;to forfeit or give up his salvation.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span lang="EN" style="color: black; font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; mso-ansi-language: EN;"&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;As I stated earlier, an individual gets saved by receiving Jesus as Savior and Lord by faith…In other words confessing with your mouth and believing in your heart. Jesus was, and is, a gift from &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;God&lt;/b&gt; to the world. Therefore, salvation is a gift. There is only one way to obtain a gift, and that is to receive it. You can’t buy it, you cannot earn it, and there is nothing you can do to become worthy of it. The moment you buy something, earn it, or work hard enough to receive it, it ceases to be a gift. It, rather, becomes a reward for works-or it is earned, such as a salary, which is compensation for work done.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;If you did not earn your salvation by doing works, then you cannot lose it by works. Somehow we seem to believe that the&lt;strong&gt; Blood&lt;/strong&gt; of &lt;strong&gt;Jesus&lt;/strong&gt; is powerful enough to save us, but not powerful enough to keep us. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He died for you…why would he let you go?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;What do you think?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Mjoec3ujcX4/ToIfN1hJd4I/AAAAAAAAAVA/JXU7Uctl7J8/s1600/thumbnailCALPXE82.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" kca="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Mjoec3ujcX4/ToIfN1hJd4I/AAAAAAAAAVA/JXU7Uctl7J8/s1600/thumbnailCALPXE82.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;A woman’s daughter had asked the local minister to come and pray with her mother. When the minister arrived, he found the woman lying in bed with her head propped up on two pillows. An empty chair sat beside her bed. The minister assumed that the woman had been informed of his visit.”I guess you were expecting me, he said.’ No, who are you?” said the mother. The minister told her his name and then remarked, “I saw the empty chair and I figured you knew I was going to show up.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;“Oh yeah, the chair,” said the bedridden woman. “Would you mind closing the door?” Puzzled, the minster shut the door.”I have never told anyone this, not even my daughter,” said the woman.”But all of my life I have never known how to pray. At church I used to hear the pastor talk about prayer, but it went right over my head.” I abandoned any attempt at prayer,” the woman continued,” until one day four years ago; my best friend said to me, “Betty, prayer is just a simple matter of having a conversation with Jesus. Here is what I suggest. “Sit down in the chair; place an empty chair in front of you, and in faith see &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;Jesus &lt;/b&gt;on chair. It’s not spooky because he promised, ‘I will be with you always’. “Then just speak to him in the same way you’re doing with me right now.” So, I tried it and I’ve liked it so much that I do it a couple of hours every day. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;I’m careful though. If my daughter saw me talking to an empty chair, she’d either have a nervous breakdown or send me off to the funny farm.” The minister was deeply moved by the story and encouraged the woman to continue on the journey. Then he prayed with her, anointed her with oil, and returned to the church. Two nights later the daughter called to tell the minister that her mother had died that afternoon. Did she die in peace?” he asked. Yes, when I left the house about two o’clock, she called me over to her bedside, told me she loved me and kissed me on the cheek. When I got back from the store and hour later, I found her. But there was something strange about her death. Apparently, just before Mother died, she leaned over and rested her head on the chair beside the bed. What do you make of that?” The minister wiped a tear from his eye and said, “ I wish we could all go like that.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;Prayer is one of the best free gifts we receive. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I asked &lt;strong&gt;God&lt;/strong&gt; for water, He gave me an ocean.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I asked &lt;strong&gt;God&lt;/strong&gt; for a friend, He gave me all of you…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If &lt;strong&gt;God&lt;/strong&gt; brings you to it, He will bring you through it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Happy moments, praise &lt;strong&gt;God&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Difficult moments, seek &lt;strong&gt;God&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Quiet moments, worship &lt;strong&gt;God&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Painful moments, trust &lt;strong&gt;God&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Every moment, thank &lt;strong&gt;God&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

It should be as Traders, in a pure capitalist system.&lt;br /&gt;

No charity! No sympathy! Just business,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
an exchange of value for value.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div closure_uid_5hvi3l="180"&gt;Or in dating terms &lt;strong&gt;“Friends With Benefits”!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div closure_uid_5hvi3l="180"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Disenchantment comes from the realization that the world isn’t what you perceived it to be! People lie, cheat, and steal and get away with it. &lt;strong&gt;Murders&lt;/strong&gt; become &lt;strong&gt;COLD CASES&lt;/strong&gt;! Marriages end in divorce…while mothers and fathers become &lt;strong&gt;Baby Mamas &amp;amp; Baby Daddies&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;"&gt;There are people who only deal with you because they think it might be beneficial to them&lt;strong&gt;…(Alcohol, Weed, Money, &amp;amp; Sex).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;"&gt;We are raised in this fairy tale world, where there aren’t any moral grey areas, where good and bad &lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;are clear, where there was never any real doubt over which side would win in the end! &lt;strong&gt;(Good of&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;strong&gt;course)…&lt;/strong&gt;but each horrifying death reported in the paper... made you a little more cynical: a little deader inside.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;"&gt;Maybe this sense of disenchantment came from not a flawed society, but a rather growing realization that we ourselves are flawed? Nothing’s more depressing than realizing that you can’t live up to your own hopes, that you’ll never live out your dreams, that you probably let those you care about down every day!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DAMN THAT’S A HARSH REALITY!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
This whole “&lt;strong&gt;Marriage&lt;/strong&gt;” subject&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
has gotten me thinking&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
about monogamy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
…..Not whether or not I can or have &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
been monogamous, because that’s a &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
non issue (not to mention I love my &lt;strong&gt;fiancé&lt;/strong&gt; and value my life as well)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My concern is that people have totally pushed morals to the side.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the past sharing yourself with more than 1 person was frowned upon….&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not to mention catching &lt;strong&gt;sh*t&lt;/strong&gt; penicillin can’t cure lls and the pain it cost your partner&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
isn’t quite worth the risk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;The Morals of Marriage have gone by the waist side for what people consider to be “&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;Happiness&lt;/b&gt;” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;I did some research!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;I found a book called “&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;The Ethical Slut&lt;/b&gt;”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This book discusses how to live an active&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Life with multiple concurrent sexual relationships&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
in a fair and honest way. Discussion topics include &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
how to deal with the practical difficulties and opportunities in finding and keeping partners, maintaining&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
relationships with others, and strategies for personal growth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;To me this makes a &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;slut&lt;/b&gt; sound &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;ethical &lt;/b&gt;duh smh… which I’m not here to judge…just stating what I’ve interpreted and to me that makes no sense….It implies that you can love someone, want him or her to be happy…but that shouldn’t change by having sex with additional people.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;May be this makes sense to others, &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
but not to me….&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When I was younger I probably would have thought it was possible.. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
but giving yourself to one is the ultimate commitment if you ask me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The book also posits that an artificial ‘economy of scarcity’ in sex leads to jealousy and possessiveness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is pretty much saying that&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
because sex is ‘&lt;strong&gt;rare&lt;/strong&gt;’ it has and increased value, and is therefore &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
treasured unreasonably? It’s not anti-monogamy, but it’s pro-polygamy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Don’t you find that these things don’t usually work&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
in real life? I know I want my partner&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To be happy, but I also want all of her hugs and kisses to myself?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;What do you think?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt;﻿I’ve been &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;thinking….&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;If my decisions &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;are based on my&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;desires, and my&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;desires are just &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;the product of &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;genetics and &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;environmental factors&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;beyond my control,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;then I have no &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;control over the decisions that I make! &lt;strong&gt;Right&lt;/strong&gt;!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;See, If I am a product of my environment or&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;genetically predisposed, then each actions&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;I take….. could not have been taken any other way.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Meaning I had &lt;strong&gt;No Choice!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-WiERSZJzHwA/TYzGmaQYkJI/AAAAAAAAATU/fj7mvH7ydDw/s1600/Ugly+Chick.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" r6="true" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-WiERSZJzHwA/TYzGmaQYkJI/AAAAAAAAATU/fj7mvH7ydDw/s1600/Ugly+Chick.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Like sleeping with any chick that I know isn’t going benefit me to say the least &lt;strong&gt;(UGLY) or&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;(Dysfunctional)&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;strong&gt;smh&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;I could say that &lt;strong&gt;"Poppa Was A Rolling Stone"&lt;/strong&gt; and that it’s in me to knock her down…or&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;all the men in my family are &lt;strong&gt;"Alcoholics"&lt;/strong&gt; so there’s really no avoiding it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;I would also be implying that &lt;strong&gt;Free Will&lt;/strong&gt; doesn’t exist.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wouldn’t that be convenient?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;This &lt;strong&gt;Theory&lt;/strong&gt; fails to account&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;the fact that we &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;obviously can make decisions,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;and that we do so constantly&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;on a regular basis…not to mention that&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;#SlaveryIsOver&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Can you tell me that you &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Think that your brain is&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Nothing more than a &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Complicated computer with&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Delusions of &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Grandeur?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;If you think &lt;strong&gt;Yes&lt;/strong&gt;…&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;than you &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;are probably &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;DRUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Let’s stop with the &lt;strong&gt;#ResponsibilityDeflection&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;and take back control over our&lt;strong&gt; Lives.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;What Company Are You Keeping?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Luke 8:18 (New King James Version)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;18. “Therefore take heed how you hear. For whoever has, to him more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he seems to have will be taken from him.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;What you have in this life is tied to what you hear on a daily basis and what you hear affects your faith. This is why &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;Jesus &lt;/b&gt;goes on to tell His disciples that whoever has, more will be given and whoever does not have, even what he seems to have will be taken from him. If you don’t use your faith, which is a product of what you hear, then you will not be able to obtain or protect the things of this life. That goes the same with who you keep in your presence on a daily basis affects to some degree affect what you believe. …because people around you can have an influence on your thoughts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;People today love not knowing cause Ignorance is &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;#bliss&lt;/b&gt;…. And people take pride in not knowing..Listen to the music of today which goes completely against &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;God’s word&lt;/b&gt; or gives out false representations of what &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;God’s Word&lt;/b&gt; is. You got albums with Love making hits on it and on that same album have the nerve to include gospel songs smh. &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;#MentalGames &lt;/b&gt;their playing and the shame is the crime is undetectable by the &lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;Feds&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Cuz in the head of our kids is where the track is&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the music shoots str8ght to the soul it’s so potent&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So much more addictive than crack…now the high is just an illusion&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lies and confusion…but just for that rush the young bucks will listen to it&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So in essence… their still flooding these streets with drugs and killing&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Their just using record labels to do them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
See America makes you an opportunist..&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then at the same time institutionalize you..&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So the fact that you see people getting these fat record deals, big money, then go to jail&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shouldn’t surprise you.. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That’s what lies do&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
and most of these guys have raw talent..just infantile education&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;So the business feed them&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;All the weed, ecstasy, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;And the little bit of paper to provide&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Some pacification from all the bullsh*t&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Frustration they serve you&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
See they took all of our business men and made the drug dealers….&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Took all of our messengers and made the rappers ..just flapping their gums afraid to admit their treason.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Took all of our soldiers and made the killer for no reason …&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And being f cked up…that’s in this season&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So if you’re negative you positive and if you’re positive you’re called a &lt;strong&gt;#hater&lt;/strong&gt;….&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That’s why I maintain control over my soul…because I know it get greater later….&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And I can do all through &lt;strong&gt;God&lt;/strong&gt; my creator…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That’s why &lt;strong&gt;Jesus&lt;/strong&gt; lets us know by acting on faith, that you will be able to receive and keep all that the Lord has for you. So, If you “do not have”, then you need to check up on what you have been hearing, and consequently believing in your heart and confessing with your mouth.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In life we all have a purpose….we all have a fundamental reason we exist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That’s simply means &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
that we all have some affect over your life and our own.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are &lt;strong&gt;Mothers&lt;/strong&gt;…&lt;strong&gt;Fathers&lt;/strong&gt;….&lt;strong&gt;Sisters&lt;/strong&gt;….&lt;strong&gt;Brothers&lt;/strong&gt;…&lt;strong&gt;Best friends&lt;/strong&gt;….&lt;strong&gt;Confidants&lt;/strong&gt;… &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;employers&lt;/strong&gt;…&lt;strong&gt;employees&lt;/strong&gt;…and even if you are &lt;strong&gt;unemployed&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;drug addicted&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;homeless&lt;/strong&gt;…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Your Lives Are Not In Vain!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;More Importantly we are &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Men/Women&lt;/strong&gt; 1st&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;Some of us grasp our purpose early on, while the rest of us go through a multitude of trials and tribulations to finally figure it out. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"&gt;Others die trying ….not realizing that your purpose really isn’t that hard to find.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Calibri&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;sans-serif&amp;quot;; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;I know that I am guilty of making life harder than it really is….I’ve over analyzed the littlest things,&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;complicating things that may make one question life itself…..but in the end I found out that &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;I am faith, trust, hope! I am the profound belief in a power larger and more important than us. I am truth and beauty! I am love and humility!&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;If you notice faith, trust, hope! I am the profound belief in a power larger and more important than us is the definition of &lt;strong&gt;Religion&lt;/strong&gt;… That’s all we are people… Believe in something &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;…..You have a better chance at cracking this thing called &lt;strong&gt;Life&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9072829223801092661-9004632353641101000?l=25champ.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;2. Anything you say will be held against you in a court of law.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;strong&gt;21. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it’s fruit.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The same thing is true with the words you speak. Even just one spoken word can change your life for the better or worse. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You choose for the better or for worse with the words that you speak.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Have you ever talked your way into trouble? Or spoke something negative into in existence? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is why we must say what the &lt;strong&gt;Word of God&lt;/strong&gt; says. That is what we should be speaking. &lt;strong&gt;God’s Word&lt;/strong&gt; has a solution to every challenge we can face in this lifetime.

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;﻿The answers to life inquiries manifests itself in the most unexpected forms. While we can surely seek them out, they’re better received when they reveal themselves, naturally.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everything we go through in life is a part of a larger journey, that requires us to endure certain parts so that we may grow into better beings. Before we walked we first crawled. We could not ride a bike, without first learning with training wheels, and a helmet, and kneepads.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Such is the same for relationships. No one wakes up one day Married, and or magically with the “Man of their Dreams”. Nor do they abruptly go from a break up to quickly being “Over It!” Hopefully, in due time they will get to that point, where they’ve successfully and happily moved on, but such is not a process that can happen overnight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I’ve attempted to just cut things off with the Ex. To go cold turkey, and not take his calls or just simply not see him. Besides, everyone has told me to just cut him off completely. I’d heard their stories about how they’d gotten over and moved on from their Infamous Ex(es). The recurring theme had been that one day they had just had enough, and voila they were soon on to the next.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But no one tells of the days before, of cried tears and pathetic wishes on shooting stars. No one utters the longings felt for loves now past. No one tells of the journey that led up to that moment of “Enough. I’m over it.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sometime ago, the most random person gave me the best advice about how to deal with the awkward relationship I now have with my Ex. Her words, encouraged me to let things play out between us as they are. Wait, before you holler STUPID, from the tips of your tongue, here’s why.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She confirmed that I would get to that point where I’m fed up or just tired of the back and forth, but the abrupt cut off, only inspires more of the merry-go-round. Instead, she recommended that I let this “quasi” relationship, run its course. The course would get me to that breaking point. And that’s when it will be over.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Surprisingly (or not), I can’t help but to agree with her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So, instead of fighting the wave, I went along with it. I enjoyed the beautiful moments we shared, such as quiet walks or weekend breakfasts. Even the nights spent together. Instead of fighting in my head, “Where’s this going?” “Why doesn’t he want me back?” I just relaxed and enjoyed it all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shortly after, my moment came. Followed by the point where I just couldn’t do it anymore, and the feeling of another tear rolling down my cheek angered me. The thought of telling another, “I HATE MY EX Story”, though, made me laugh. It got to the point where I could no longer be mad at him, but instead at myself for enabling him…Yep, that was the icing of my moment and the motivation I needed to strengthen myself to getting over it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9072829223801092661-1792088383892149796?l=25champ.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;The thought of wanting what you can’t have is what adds fuel to our fire. Is it that you really want what you are seeking so desperately, simply because you can’t have it? Some of us operate this way. &lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;I can remember a time myself where I wanted to be with a certain someone to where it consumed my thoughts day and night. I stopped at nothing. Every trick and tactic you can think of; I did. And yet, it got me nowhere. It was only after I realized I was driving myself insane did I stop.&amp;nbsp; It took absolutely no time for him to come knocking on my door trying to get back in once he figured out I had moved on. I ended up going back simply because I had wanted the relationship to work for so long, or so I thought. To be honest, I was completely miserable! I was in a place where my heart wasn’t and I’m not the type of person to fake it till I make it, so I bounced…I guess it was just the thrill of the chase (rejection).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9072829223801092661-4638833681469905711?l=25champ.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

I’m 30yrs old now and I’d have to say&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
that I pretty much know what’s best for me by now. I’m not implying that I know everything, but I’ll be the judge of me and you be the judge of you.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have absolutely no right to judge your beliefs and you have no right to judge mine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What’s the point!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All beliefs and ethics are “relative” anyway!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I drink this Henny because I feel it’s what I want to do! Don’t judge me! Even if you believe its wrong…… Which one of us is right anyway? What you can’t handle might be fine for me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It can be argued that in every rational person (the definition of “rational” is touchy subject I won’t explain for now) there are certain properties common to all. The problem ( well, one problem) with relativism is how it, nihilistically privileges the experience of the individual above all else, making every ethical decision the right ethical decision: who would not like to have his or her beliefs guaranteed to be as correct as anybody else’s? But this is done at the cost of ignoring our shared qualities, turning away from the fact that despite different languages and cultures (and continents and skin colors) we all believe some of the same things. With that striking fundamental truth removed, the &lt;strong&gt;Prostitutes &lt;/strong&gt;and the &lt;strong&gt;Saints &lt;/strong&gt;stand side by side, equals in righteousness. What do you think?&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Did you hear those words underneath the loud lyrics&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;or was you just a victim of your inner desires&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;that held you hostage in this game&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;of supply and demand.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;We’re you oblivious, or did you just lack self-control.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Either way you didn’t walk to the beat of &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;your own drum and now you stand still&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;in line wondering how did you get here in the first place.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;See your conscious mind told you&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;that it wasn’t okay to buy that, but the&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;waves within sound system told you otherwise.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;While you thought you were &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;listening to &lt;strong&gt;Janet Jackson&lt;/strong&gt; over those speakers,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;there were subliminal messages that attacked &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;your mind like a plague on your immune system.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;With your brain occupied, your reasoning becomes impaired&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;leaving you capable of buying any&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;and everything the store has to offer.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;When you realized you were home&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;your brain took back over and as you go&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;to open your bags: a &lt;strong&gt;Mariah Carey&lt;/strong&gt; CD&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Who the f ck bought that!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Keywords: Christ, Lord, Savior, Jesus&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hello. My name is &lt;strong&gt;Jesus-The Christ&lt;/strong&gt;. Many call me &lt;strong&gt;Lord&lt;/strong&gt;! I’ve sent you my resume because I’m seeking the top management position in your heart. Please consider my accomplishments as set forth in my resume. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Qualifications:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;I founded the earth and established the heavens, (See Proverbs 3:19).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I formed man from the dust of the ground, (See Genesis 2:7).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I breathed into man the breath of life, (See genesis 2:7).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I redeemed man from the curse of law, (See Galatians 3:13).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The blessings of the Abrahamic Covenant comes upon your life through me, (See Galatians 3:14).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Occupational Background&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;I’ve only had one employer, (See Luke 2:49).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I’ve never been tardy, absent, disobedient, slothful or disrespectful.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;My employer has nothing but rave reviews for me, (See Matthew 3:15-17).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Skills/Work Experiences&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Some of my skills and work experiences include: empowering the poor to be poor no more, healing the brokenhearted, setting the captives free, healing the sick, restoring sight to the blind and setting at liberty them that are bruised, (See Luke 4:18).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I am Wonderful, Counselor, (See Isaiah 9:6). People who listen to me shall dwell safely and shall not fear evil, (See Proverbs 1:33).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Most importantly, I have the authority, ability and power to cleanse you of your sins, (See I John 1:7-9).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Education Background&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;I encompass the entire breadth and length of knowledge, wisdom and understanding, (See Proverbs 2:6).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;In me are hidden all of the treasures of wisdom and knowledge, (See Colossians 2:3).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;My Word is so powerful; it has been described as being a lamp unto your feet and a lamp unto your path, (See Psalms 119:105).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I can even tell you all of the secrets of your heart, (See Psalms 44:21).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Major Accomplishments&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;I was an active participant in the greatest Summit Meeting of all times, (See Genesis 1:26).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I laid down my life so that you may live, (See II Corinthians 5:15).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I defeated the archenemy of &lt;strong&gt;God&lt;/strong&gt; and mankind and made a show of them openly, (See Colossians 2:15).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;I’ve miraculously fed the poor, healed the sick and raised the dead!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;There are many more major accomplishments, too many to mention here. You can read them on my website, which is located at: www.Thebible. You don’t need the Internet Connection or computer to access my website.&lt;/li&gt;

Believers and followers worldwide will testify to my divine healings, salvation, deliverance, miracles, restoration and supernatural guidance. In Summation Now that you’ve read my resume, I’m confident that I’m the only candidate uniquely qualified to fill this vital position in your heart. In summation, I will properly direct your path, (See Proverbs 3:5-6), and lead you into everlasting life, (See John 6:47). When can I start? Time is essence, (See Hebrews 3:15).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectation.” -Jack Kinder&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Our strength often increases in proportion to the obstacles imposed upon it.”-Paul De Rapin&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success. ~Dale Carnegie&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The road to achieving great things always has adversity. If there's a road with no obstacles, it probably leads to nowhere.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;As a recipient of the versatile and beautiful blogger award, I must provide seven random facts about myself….&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;1. At times I can be one to be considered a know it all which is a blessing and a curse. Ppl come to me for answers all the time, but when I offer a friendly advise I’m often hit with “you think you know everything”… see it’s not that I think I know everything, it’s just I’m an independent research guy and I know what I know if you know what I mean lol. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2. I Coach little league football (Rosedale Cowboys 13 under) and I’m a diehard Redskins fan which can be a conflict of interest I suppose lol. I loves my football and wouldn’t change either.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3. I’m also a pretty good artist and have won numerous awards and contest over the years….something ppl closed to me would only know. I paint, sketch, calligraphy. I do it all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4. I love movies I remember everything that puts a smile on my face and I can quote movies with the best of them. Sometimes I feel like I am a walking movie. “Once again I say what you scared to say, but u thinking the same God damn thing”….Bernie Mac Kings of Comedy Lls . Ppl think I’m pretty fun even though I’m just being myself minus the movie quotes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5. I’m very big on Fam. Loves my family and my Kids to death. Without them I’m nothing. They make my soul smile.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
6. I work at the College of NotreDame in the billing dept I also run the Mail Services dept. It can be very demanding, but I multi-task it pretty good, just wish I could multi-task my personal life a little better.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7. Best for last even though he is First in my life. I’m a man of God I’m proud to say it. Aint no shame in my game. I’m always working on self and I know that I’m nothing without him. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;
I will award a few bloggers for both awards &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;I know that a lot of you readers out there know all about the double standard between men and women. People tend to believe that men have it easier than women when it comes to being &lt;strong&gt;Promiscuous&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;It's Very&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;True!&lt;/strong&gt; Men do have it easier, but men don't get off scott free. While women tend to get judged more by their peers, men tend to have more problems in their relationships. Yeah our girlfriends my not call us skanks and sluts, but they do raise their eyebrows when it comes to giving us their complete trust. Men are more than likely to except a woman with a &lt;strong&gt;Promiscuous &lt;/strong&gt;past than a woman would of a man. When have you seen a women come home to her family and introduced her stripper boyfriend. Not that all strippers are promiscuous, but men fall in love with strippers all the time. They even have songs glorifying it like... "&lt;strong&gt;I'm in&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;love with a stripper&lt;/strong&gt;" by &lt;strong&gt;T-Pain&lt;/strong&gt; or the movie "&lt;strong&gt;Pretty Woman&lt;/strong&gt;" where &lt;strong&gt;Richard Gere&lt;/strong&gt; falls in love with the prostitue &lt;strong&gt;Julia Roberts&lt;/strong&gt; . While women are being put down for the exploits they are more likely to be forgiven. People question their upbringing, childhood, etc......but on the otherhand men we are just dogs, immoral beings so to speak. All men want is sex according to society. We underline what's in bold "&lt;strong&gt;Promiscuity&lt;/strong&gt;", but does anyone really care why.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Sorry it took so long for me to write about it, but I’m writing about it now. I don’t personally think gifts equal love, but I could understand how a man may think gifts are an equal way of showing love. First of all &lt;strong&gt;real men&lt;/strong&gt; are givers by nature so anything that he could give to his significant other may make him feel as if he is showing her some form of love. Note that I said "&lt;strong&gt;real men&lt;/strong&gt;". When you see the look in your women’s eyes after you have given a present, you can tell that she feels some form of love or affection. Secondly I have never known a female who met a gift that she didn’t like. I’m not trying to be offensive in anyway, but theirs more demand for what a man can do with his pockets then that of a women. Usually you win her over by doing nice things for her. Not necessarily buying gifts, but by taken her out to movies, dinner, or by sending flowers. I do believe that men do more than buy gifts to show love, but it’s usually overlooked when the gifts stop coming in. The first thing your girl would tell you is you don’t do the things you used to do. That’s usually centered around something financial. All of a sudden your jokes aren’t enough anymore. Neither is your charming personality.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Remember the phrases “&lt;strong&gt;no romance without finance&lt;/strong&gt;” or “&lt;strong&gt;what have you done for me&lt;/strong&gt; l&lt;strong&gt;ately&lt;/strong&gt;". Independent women of today don’t want a man with less than what they have, even though men still are willing to take a woman with less .Even men who make less money than his girlfriend still end up spending more money showering her with gifts. As far as men using gifts to break the ice in the form of an apology…. that depends on the women. Again something that I’ve never done or at least I don’t think I’ve done consciously. I know men are opportunist and will take advantage of anything that will get him out of a situation. If you are that simple that you can’t see when he is buying your forgiveness than that’s a damn shame. When I am mad at a women the only thing that you can do to resolve the situation is to take responsibility for your part in the situation, no gift can overturn that. I guess that’s what’s makes men and women different huh.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I’m no cave man, but in &lt;strong&gt;2010 &lt;/strong&gt;women aren’t that big on cooking or cleaning. Even when they stay at home instead of working they are more concerned with proving to you that women don’t have to cook or clean anymore than they are with just taking on a role of some form. I do believe that there are some women who are still willing to cook or clean for their men, but not that many. I know the question was geared towards the women who cook or clean so here we go. Men are big kids; it doesn’t take much to satisfy most of us. Feeding us and taking care the house hold makes a man feel like what he is doing is worth while. We love to feel appreciated and the women in our life who are willing to do those things will inherit man who will go through extreme measures to put a smile on there face.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It’s not just about us being lazy, it’s about appreciation. &lt;strong&gt;Real men&lt;/strong&gt; and note that I said &lt;strong&gt;real &lt;/strong&gt;can’t be bought and since most of us do provide (&lt;strong&gt;that’s real men again&lt;/strong&gt;) instead of gifts we prefer a nice home cooked meal.

This era in time will rely heavily on parents teaching their children moral values at home, because they damn sure aren’t going to get them anywhere else. Whatever happened to "&lt;strong&gt;it takes a village to raise a child&lt;/strong&gt;", now you hear celebrities saying things like they aren't role models. These are the people who have a heavy influence over our children. Also &lt;strong&gt;Christ&lt;/strong&gt; has been removed from his own Holliday and replaced with &lt;strong&gt;X-mas&lt;/strong&gt;, while prayer has been taken completely out of our schools. “&lt;strong&gt;In God we Trust&lt;/strong&gt;” reads the back of our dollar bills, yet we do everything opposite &lt;strong&gt;God &lt;/strong&gt;to earn a buck. It is easy to see how the world has fallen so far so fast.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Right now our children are at war with themselves. When you turn on the news they are killing each other and committing the crimes. They are more concerned with who look the best and who's blinging, instead of who they can trust and depend on the most. It was teenagers who killed the NFL's rising star &lt;strong&gt;Sean Taylor&lt;/strong&gt; and teenage students who beat up their teacher on YouTube. Where is the guidance? When is their going to be a voice that they are familiar with that is going to step up and saying this isn't cool. This is not the way. Instead we have rappers who like their sprite easter pink, and spiritual leaders who molest children. Parent's, it's time for us to take our house holds back. Aren't you tired of seeing kids who can do the &lt;strong&gt;Stanky Leg&lt;/strong&gt;, but can't count to 10. It is up to us to set the example starting in our own households. Stop trying to be their homie and start trying to be their leader, their guidance, their confidant.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Obama&lt;/strong&gt; said it best when he said "&lt;strong&gt;We are the ones we've been waiting for&lt;/strong&gt;". It is time for us to stop waiting on the next generation to clean up our mess. As parents we need step our game up. Our children are running our households. Let's bring back the respect and discipline that they need. Let's eat together as a family even if you are single parent home. Let's get our children back in bible study or Sunday school. You let them go out on Saturday; they can get up for church on Sunday. Let's support our kids in their extracurricular activity instead of their gang friends. How do you think this world got out of control in the first f ckin place? We allowed society to adopt our children instead of spending the necessary time with them that they needed. Let's remove the play stations out our living rooms so that our little children can have an imagination. Let's instill faith, hope, and prosperity into their lives. Most importantly let's stop telling our children what they can't do and start telling them what they can do.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Attention People: The Illuminati is real.
