WORKPLACE GOING ALONG…TO…GET ALONG: In other words… “Kissing Ass”…to get Ahead. “What A Damn Shame!”

AssKissingBook

O.k…I have a question.   Since when…did “Ass Kissing” become such a normal & pervasive way of interacting in the workplace???    I’m COMPLETELY serious.   Now, don’t misunderstand…I’m sure it has existed almost since the beginning of time.  Really.   I know in my heart…there has always been “Ass Kissers” just around the corner… meditating on the next ass they were planning to kiss…to get ahead.   And, in the process… “pissing off” straight-up kind of folk who try to succeed simply by working hard.  Novel idea…huh??? To advance…in the workplace… by working hard.    Doing the damn job…& doing it well.

Mmmhhh.   I must tell you the truth and shame the devil.   I have brownnosediseasealways…ALWAYS…hated working with people who tried to advance themselves on the job by brown nosing & kissing up to the people they saw as in charge.    It has always disgusted me.   Now, this is how it would normally break out.  Let’s call the “Ass Kisser”…Tom.   In advance, I apologize to all the “Toms” in the world who have never been “Ass Kissers” but…I need a name to use & Tom is as good as any.  O.k.  Anyway…

Now…when Tom is working with the crew (the non-supervisory people), he pretends to be as disgruntled as the next person… in terms of the bullshit going down in the work place.   However, when “Tom” gets alone with the employer…it’s a WHOLE different story.  Oh Yeah.  You know what I’m talking about.  Tom’s KIssingAsstogetaheadlips are spread so far across that person’s ass you would think his lips are super glued to it.  No joke.  In these meetings & interactions…what does Tom do?  Tom’s two-faced ass goes along with everything the supervisor says & does.  Why?  So, Tom…can try to advance his position on the job.  What makes it so bad is this…Tom, in his heart, might not agree with even 10% of what that supervisor is putting down.   But, again, he goes along…to get along.  O.k.

I was in a meeting… just last night.   There was a woman in the meeting who started talking about how she got shut down on a job because she complained about some things that just weren’t right.   Now…her response to being shut workplacemistreatmentdown was this & I quote, “I guess I won’t do that again.  I have learned that I need to keep my mouth shut & just go along with the program.”    I just stared at her…thinking to myself…”Why would you do that?   Why would you stop…speaking the truth…regardless?   Why do you think the solution is that you need to just shut-up… even though you raised legitimate problems with an employer?”   DAMN…where is the HEART to stand-up for what is right?

God knows…I’ve lost or quit many jobs because my spirit will not allow me to be quiet when shit ain’t right.   I’m telling you the God in Heaven’s truth.  I have went to many employers/supervisors & complained about there mistreatment of others.  Oh yeah.   These bastards had the audacity to look me square in my face & say stuff like this, “Well Iris, we don’t understand what your fussing about because we love you.  Why are you so angry with us?”   I looked at them…I was ALL FROWNED UP & I said, “How can you love anybody if you treat others so foul.”  They didn’t get it.  They…just…didn’t… get it.

You know what?  There was a time when principles really meant something.   Meaning?  Meaning…You stood for something that counts for something.   Meaning…You challenged insanity…to the death.   WHAT IN THE HELL HAS HAPPENED???   Where did it get lost?  And…Why???  Why have we become oh…so…powerless, where we feel oh…so…helpless?  When did we let it all slip…down                                                                                                                                               down…                                                                                                                                            down…???

And…More importantly…How do we get back the self-respect that has been just handed away?   I know you know what I’m talking about.  O.k.  We know whisteblowerthat in a capitalistic society…it takes money to make the world go around.   And…around it goes…   We have to work to make ends meet.  I get all of that.  I really do.  However, we do not…& I repeat…we do not have to sell our souls to the devil to survive.  HELL NO!   So…I don’t buy that trifling ass excuse given to justify….going along…to get along.   Jesus says & I quote, “For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” (MATTHEW 16:26)

And….I’ll tell you another thing.   For the record…I’m going down with my boots on…fighting for what is right…come hell or high water.   I don’t give a damn about trying to please man about anything.  Let alone…trying to kiss up to some employer to keep a job.   My real job is… as God’s Ambassador.  And… that job requires me to please him… & him alone.    We must stand up, as the people of God, for what his will dictates…not our own.   If we would remember this…it will be easier to stand your ground & fight for what is right…even if your job is on the line.   Know… it is ultimately God who really takes care of you…not some no good employer who treats people like shit.

Donald Trump Mocks Disability of Serge Kovaleski : “Donald Trump…Oh, I know so well how you work for the devil, but, Mocking a Disability… You’ve even stooped to a lower level.”

Just when people thought that the devil couldn’t fall any lower…here comes devilfallingfromheaventhe Republican Presidential Candidate, Donald Trump, to prove them wrong.   This devilish ass has reached another low.   What has he done now??? Donald Trump has mocked the disability of a reporter, Serge Kovaleski.   Let me tell you how all of this came about. Shortly, after the terrorist attacks in Paris, France…the snake called “Donald Trump” slithered to a podium & sought to take full advantage of the horrific events that took place in Paris.   On November 21, 2015 in Birmingham Alabama, he said & I quote:

“Hey, I watched when the World Trade Center came tumbling down. And I watched in Jersey City, New Jersey, where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that building was coming down. Thousands of people were cheering.”

On 22 November 2015, Donald Trump appeared on ABC’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos & elaborated about who “the thousands” DONALDTRUMPwere  that were cheering in New Jersey on 9/11.   He said, “There were people over in New Jersey that were watching it, a heavy Arab population, that were cheering as the buildings came down.  Not good.”

To back-up his claim, he cited the New York Times.  Specifically…he quoted an article written on September 18, 2001, by Serge Kovaleski,  which said that newyorktimesauthorities’ were detaining and questioning “a number of people” who were “alleged” to have been seen celebrating at parties on roofs in New Jersey, watching the devastation of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center site a week earlier.  This reporter, Serge Kovaleski, has since said that his reporting did not bear out “thousands” or even “hundreds.” OH, NO!…Serge has now undermined Donald Trump’s claims about  Arabs cheering in New Jersey on 9/11.

Well…You already know.  If Donald Trump feels that someone is attacking him, in anyway…he feels the need to retaliate.  And, true to form…he did.  But, before I tell you the specifics of what Trump did…I first need to tell you this. sergekovaleski Serge Kovaleski has arthrogryposis, a congenital condition that limits his ability to move his joints.   The picture I saw of Serge showed one of his arms not extending all the way down.   His condition reminds me of someone with cerebral palsy who is unable to extend their arm all the way down.  Now…back to Trump.   During a rally he held in South Carolina on November 24, 2015, Trump retaliated against Serge Kovaleski.   Donald Trump mentioned the article written by Serge Kovaleski & then sarcastically talks about how Serge recants what he said back in 2001.   Now… the donaldtrumpmockingsergekovaleskikicker is this.   As Donald Trump says, “You’ve got to see this guy” (talking about Serge Kovaleski), he jerks his arms like a robot and bends his right wrist…like he can’t put it down.   This bastard was actually mimicking & mocking Serge’s body movements.  WHO THE  %&*$  DOES THIS???  Who mocks someone’s disability?  That no good ass Donald Trump…that’s who.   I thought to myself…”Trump, the Father is watching & your ass is gonna burn in hell!”  You see God hates ugly…& Trump’s behavior is downright ugly.

Now…when the media called Trump out on how despicable he was in mocking Serge’s disability…Trump lied & said that he didn’t do it because he didn’t even know Serge.   Well guess what??? Serge Kovaleski challenged Trump’s lie & states that he and Trump know each other on a first name basis.    According to Serge…He & Donald Trump go way back.   He said during the 80’s he covered Trump a lot & they had met… one on one.  Serge covered Trump numerous times while he was at The Daily News, including on a daylong maiden voyage of the now-defunct “Trump Shuttle” in 1989.  Well…it clearly sounds like Trump knew, without a doubt, who Serge was when he recently mocked him.

His behavior so clearly shows…that nothing & no one is off limits from his mockery.  No One.  This *&^%$  doesn’t care about anybody but his damn self.    I can’t imagine how Serge felt when he saw on national & worldwide television how Donald Trump mocked his disability.   You know…I keep telling you all how Donald Trump reminds me of Hitler.   Believe me…I don’t say that shit lightly.   I really don’t.    Trumps mentality & language is similar to how Hitler thought & talked immediately before the Nazi’s started annihilating the Jewish people in great numbers.    Trump’s behavior cannot be condoned & neither should it be taken lightly.    This is very serious.    This man wants to be President of the United States.   At this point in time…because of some ignorant asses who are going along with his bullshit, Trump is leading the Republican pack of candidates with his biggest lead ever.   CNN’s recent poll put out yesterday shows Trump having 36% of registered Republicans and Republican-leaning independents behind him, while his nearest competitor trails by 20 points.

So…what do we do?   On this one…we don’t need to just wake up and smell the coffee.  OH NO…that’s not enough.  We need to smell it…drink it…wake the &*^%  up… & deal with this situation.  We need to fight against this man becoming President of the United States with all that we have & with all that we are.   Oh yeah…& don’t forget to include praying against him becoming our President.  Know that God is listening.

U.S. GOVERNORS to SYRIAN REFUGEES… “Don’t Bring Your Muslim Asses Here– We Don’t Want You!” And, I say to you Governors… “Shame on You… You Heartless Devils!”

Mapstatesrefusingsyrianrefugees

31 of the Governors in the United States, vehemently oppose letting syrianrefugeeboatsSyrian Refugees into their states.   This kind of talk is a result of the recent ISIS attacks in Paris.  The Governors’ announcements came after authorities revealed that at least one of the suspects believed to be involved in the attacks in Paris…entered Europe among the Syrian refugees.  The U.S. Governors are saying that the Syrian Refugees “pose too great of a threat to U.S. national security.”   In other words, ChrisChristierefusesrefugeesthese Governors are echoing the thoughts of many, “If we let these Muslim Syrian Refugees into the United States, they will try to blow us up…shoot us…& cut off our heads.”  New Jersey Governor and Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie said that New Jersey will not take in any refugees – “not even orphans under the age of five.”  Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal has said that he has directed Louisiana State Police to “track” the Syrian refugees in his state.

They are also looking at these suffering people as a “Trojan Horse.”   This past trojanhorseMonday evening in Tennessee, Republican Presidential candidate, Donald J. Trump, questioned whether Syrian refugees are part of a “Trojan horse” plot.  He told a large crowd of supporters, “Is this a Trojan horse? We all know the story of the Trojan horse.”  Remember…the “Trojan Horse” metaphorically has come to mean “any trick or stratagem that causes a target to invite an enemy into a securely DonaldTrumpSyrianRefugeesprotected place.”   So…for Donald Trump, these Syrian Refugees are pretending to be “fleeing refugees from Syria” to induce U.S. sympathy so they can get into the U.S. & destroy it.   Today,  in an interview on ABC’s “This Week,” Donald Trump went so far as to say that he’d monitor select mosques, bring back waterboarding and keep refugees on a watch list.

You see…to the Governors, Donald Trump & others…it doesn’t matter that syriancivilwarthese Syrian Refugees are fleeing for their lives.   No…it doesn’t matter that human rights watch groups state that the Syrian government continues to use “barrel bombs”  against its civilian population.   The “barrel bombs” are crude weapons made out of barrels filled with oil, explosives and shrapnel.    The government uses these weapons despite a United Nations Security Council resolution (passed in Feb. 2014) that bans the use of such “barrel bombs.”  Since the passage of the resolution,  the Syrian bashar al assadgovernment has killed more than 6,000 civilians — including 1,892 children —  by barrel bombs.   President Bashar al-assad’s government used siege and starvation tactics in 2014, with desperately hungry civilians eating leaves and grass just to survive.  There is also very credible evidence that Bashar al-assad used chemical weapons against the Syrian people.   The United Nations estimates that more than 240,000 people have been killed since the civil war began in 2011.

The one saving grace is that the final say on this contentious Syrian Refugee issue will fall to the federal government.   The question of who should be PresidentObamaSyrianRefugeeallowed in this country is one that the Constitution commits to the federal government.  So, legally…the Governors have no authority to prevent Syrian Refugees from coming to their state.   However, without the state’s participation and assistance, the federal government will have a much more difficult task in efficiently getting the Syrian Refugees settled in this country.  In September, the Obama administration announced that 10,000 Syrians will be allowed entry into the United States in 2016.

Am I surprised about the Governors’ attitudes towards the Syrian Refugees? Am I surprised that these leaders, who espouse to believe in God, evidence such ungodly & heartless behaviors toward other human beings? ABSOLUTELY NOT.  Why would I be?   Jesus says, “10And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.”  (Matthew 24:10-14)

christoncross

So, a man soweth…so, shall he reap.

To the U.S Governors, Donald Trump, Chris Christie & anyone else who doesn’t want to help the Syrian Refugees, I say this, “God never sleeps.   He is watching everything that anyone says & does.  EVERYTHING.  Meaning?  24/7… your asses are in his clear view.   Nothing is hidden from him.  He has heard and seen the venomous poison…dripping from your mouths.  He has heard your arrogance… exuding from your lips.   Don’t you know that God holds you accountable for everything you say?  Don’t you know this?  You have publicly…turned your backs…on the weak, hungry, homeless & the needy. Men…Women…& let’s not forget…the babies.    Do you not understand that many…oh, soooo many…of these people who we are calling “Syrian Refugees”… are the Heavenly Father’s children???  And, unless you repent to God…truly repent…& change your direction towards his children…He will turn his back on you.    He will turn his back on your children.   Is that what you want?  And, will you be able to stand it (mentally & physically)…when the Heavenly Father flips the scrip?  Remember, God says, “The last shall be first & the first shall be last.”  You might think you are on top of your game… with your arrogant ways, but, do know this.  Know that what goes up….must come down.  And, when God brings it down…it comes crashing down…with a thunderous jolt.”

Being fearful…hateful… & without compassion… are ways of the devil…not, God.   Do you actually believe that acting like the devil will keep you safe…anywhere??? Acting like the devil…will only bring other devils to your doorstep.  Mark my word!!!  I am telling you the truth.  The truth of God.

PRAISE BE TO GOD…IN ALL HIS GLORY

PARIS & MALI TERROR ATTACKS: SURE…Evil Attacked & Evil Killed. But…FEAR is not an OPTION!!!

Today, CNN, MSNBC, & other news broadcasters…told us about “the Breaking maliattacksNews” that happened in Mali today.   Gunmen stormed a hotel hosting diplomats & at least 21 people were killed in the attack.   Witnesses are saying that, “They were shooting at anything that moved.” An al Qaeda affiliated group is taking partial responsibility for the attack.

From last Friday Night’s Events…the Headlines say:  “130 Dead, 350+ injured in Paris Terror Attacks”

Many…Many…are thinking, “WHAT THE $#*^ IS GOING ON???

Last Saturday, ISIS claimed responsibility for the terror attacks in Paris, parisattacks3calling them “the first of the storm” and mocking France as a “capital of prostitution and obscenity.”   As I have watched events unfold in Paris…the streets were almost completely deserted.   People were following the government’s directions to stay in.   The few people who were out & about…speaking about what they saw, are still walking around in kind of a daze. Their spirits are trying to absorb the trauma their city, Paris…has suffered. France is parisattacksstruggling to deal with the deadliest violence on its soil since the Second World War.  So much death.  So much grief.   And, while these people have surely seen the beheadings & the POW pilot being set on fire by ISIS…there is nothing…absolutely nothing that prepares you to see terror happening right in front of you…on your soil.  Nothing.

People fear that the next attack is around the corner.  They are right.   But…that message is not just meant for the people in Paris.   No.   Terror attacks will happen throughout the world…including the U.S.   Make no unitedstatesterrorismmistake about it…the U.S. will be attacked, again.  And, soon. I’m not telling you this truth to cause you fear.  I am telling you this…to warn you.   To be forewarned…is to be forearmed. Forearmed with the only weapon that can protect you…always & anywhere. That weapon is a holy one.  That weapon is GOD.   You see… I understand that it is only God who can protect me…under any set of circumstances.   With this understanding embedded in my heart…I don’t fear being attacked.  I just don’t.  Why?  Let’s talk about it.

What good does fear do…here?  Does fearing that attacks are going to happen…stop the attacks?  No.   Does fearing ISIS… stop the attacks?  No.   So…what is the point of this fear we have about ISIS?  These people are human beings.  Yes…they are being influenced by the devil…but, still they are men.   God says, “If I am for you…who can be against you.” (Romans 8:31)  This means that if God is in my corner…it doesn’t matter who comes against me.   And, I don’t give a damn about what they try to do to me.   How can I say godisincontrolthis…with sincerity? I’ll tell you.   I can say this… because I understand that God is always in control of what happens to me…at all times.   No one can do anything to me unless, God allows it.   If He allows it, no matter how bad someone might think it is,  there is a godly reason for him allowing it.  I then, deal directly with him to gain understanding about why He allowed it.   God always knows best…even when what He allows me to go through, doesn’t feel so good to me. You see…God wants me to walk by faith…& not, by my feelings. Feelings can change like the wind…but, God changes not.  Not ever.  He is the same, yesterday…today & forever.   Understanding this & walking by faith…allows me to put my complete trust in him…& not be controlled by fear. The bible says, “Above all be sure you take faith as your shield, for it can quench every burning dart the enemy hurls at you.” (Ephesians 6:16)

FEAR—FEAR—FEAR—FEAR—FEAR—FEAR—FEAR—FEAR

fearonlythingtofearisfearitself

Fear is a hell of a thing…isn’t it???  Fear can cause you to hurt yourself.  How? Fear can paralyze your thought patterns…so, you are stifled from moving forward.   It can make you want to close yourself off from the rest of the world. It can make a loving heart turn from love…to hate.  And, quick.  Damn right…real quick.  It can cause you to want to inflict on others, the same pain & sadness that you feel.   If you think I’m lying…keep listening.

At the U.S. Congress yesterday…a bill passed in the House of Representatives that requires the secretary of homeland security, the FBI director and the director of national intelligence to each certify that a refugee was not a threat to national security before they were admitted to the United States.   The bill is called the American Security Against Foreign Enemies Act.  It passed in the house with almost unanimous houseofrepsyrianbillRepublican support & 47 Democrats.  In essence, this bills makes it a lot more difficult  for refugees from Syria and Iraq to enter the United States.   It basically rebukes President Obama’s refugee policy.  While it is understandable that people want to protect themselves…some things are just too much.    How in the world, practicably speaking, is the secretary of homeland security, the FBI director and the director of national intelligence suppose to assure (operative term being “assure”) that any Syrian immigrant is never going to attack the U.S.?   REALLY???   If you believe this…as the saying goes…“I have some ice in Alaska that I’m trying to sell.  All reasonable offers WILL be accepted.”

I don’t give a damn how much vetting any of these people do…it is not going to stop the United States, or anywhere else, from being attacked.  All this bill will essentially do…is cost this country more money…&, trick people into having some kind of false sense of security.    A few days ago, New York’s Police Commissioner, William Bratton, said & I quote, “Be aware but do not be afraid.  The NYPD will protect you.”   I thought to myself…”His crazy ass NEWYORKCOMMISSIONERmust have been drinking or smoking something.  And…he needs to cut that shit out before going on tv… if, he’s going to be talking like that.”  He ain’t God. So…how is Commissioner Bratton going to be everywhere…at the same time…to stop shit from happening?   He can’t.   And, neither can his police officers.  It’s an impossibility to even expect them “to protect us.”  Sure…they can do what they do…but, that’s it…& that’s all.

But, you know what???  Even with everything I am saying…all is not lost.  Not by any means.    Why?  Because…God will be there for you if you are here for him.  I need to say that one more time, so…be patient with me please.  God will be Godiswithusdonotfearthere for you if you are here for him.    I tell you the truth!!!   Have that peace that comes from being in a close relationship with him.  He will give you a peace that truly passes all human understanding.   People will be wandering…what makes that person walk in such a peaceful state?   Truly…Hell can literally be breaking out all around you…& you… will not be moved, if God is with you.

If you want to release your fears & embrace peace… say this prayer with me:   Heavenly Father, you see all the craziness & evil that has been going on in Paris & in Mali.   Bless me to walk closer with you…everyday.   Bring my thoughts & actions into the obedience of Christ.   Take any and all fear out of my spirit because you do not give me a spirit of fear.  You gave me a spirit of inprayerfaith.  The faith to believe that you are who you say you are…no matter what is going on in the world.  You are the beginning and the end.  You are simply…everything that is good.  So, I look to you to guide my steps…every moment of my life.   Bless me to be a blessing for others…solely for your purposes.    Have mercy on me by accepting me the way that I am…but, love me enough so that you don’t leave me in my present fearful state of mind.   I pray these things to you in the name of Jesus & by his precious blood.  Amen.

PARIS TERRORIST ATTACKS KILL MANY: SO, DEVILS…YOU KILL & YOU KILL. THE CHILDREN OF GOD… YOU STEAL. FOR WHAT??? BUT…SURE ENOUGH…YOU WILL REAP WHAT YOU SOW. YOU SEE…GOD CAN’T LIE!

RIGHT NOW…As I write this post…Paris is turned upside down on it’s head.   People are running in every… which… way.  Why?   Terrorists attacked Paris & kept right eiffel toweron…attacking.  For sure.   There were multiple attacks & killings in central Paris tonight. These devils have killed so many people…that, at this time…they don’t have a solid count.  They just don’t.   Police are scrambling from place to place…& the people…are just baffled, dazed…scared & confused.  Thinking…“WHAT IN THE HELL IS GOING ON?   AND…WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?”

What we have is this.  Beautiful Paris… has been turned into a blood bath.    A weekend night that was intended to be enjoyed, being out on the town …has ended up as, a night of terror.  Absolute terror.  One witness stated…that the gunmen entered the Bataclan theater, said nothing…& concealed nothing.   They didn’t even bother to wear mask.   You see…they wanted to be seen.   They wanted the people who they terrorized to know…“We…who you see…did this.”   It parisvictimswas reported, by French radio reporter Julien Pearce, that 2 gunmen may have been shooting AK-47s in the Bataclan concert hall. Pierce said “the gunfire lasted 10 to 15 minutes… sending the crowd into a screaming panic.” He said… when the wounded fell to the floor, the gunmen shot them again, execution-style.   So…for certain…no love was loss.  Only an evil heart, full of hate…could slaughter people in such a way.

At this time…they are saying there may be as many as 7 attacks that took place throughout the city.   French President Hollande has declared a state of emergency.  Meaning What?  Meaning they have literally closed the borders of Paris.   And…everything is on lock down.  People are told to go home &…stay home.   President Hollande said & I quote, parispresidentobama“Terrorist attacks of unprecedented scale are underway.  There have been dozens of deaths, there are many injured, it’s a horror.”  President Obama commented, “This is an attack not just on Paris, not just on the people on France, but an attack on all humanity and the universal values we share.” He called the attacks an “outrageous attempt to terrorize innocent civilians.”  

So…What do we have here?  What does all of this mean?  What are people suppose to do?   First,  God understands that FEAR…OUTRAGE…& SORROW are all natural emotions that are being exhibited at this time.   He understands that people are absolutely stunned by the events that took place this night of our Lord.    With all of this said… God wants us to thoushallnotkill1just PAUSE.  Sit down…feel what you feel but, PAUSE. Pause & look to him.   Ask him all the questions that are spinning through your head.  Why did God let this happen?   Why would God let evil people kill all of these people?    Why didn’t God prevent this from happening?  These very questions are on the minds of many…tonight.    God understands these concerns and…He instructs me to say this. God tells us to love one another & He tells us not to kill.  Remember… “Thou shalt not kill” is one of God’s 10 commandments. So…for these killers (& that’s what they are) to kill as they did on Friday night…goes against the will of God.  So, for the record, Our Father who art in Heaven, does not condone these killings.   For the record…God did not cause these killings to happen.   So…

God is not to be blamed in any way…shape or form…for the misdeeds of man.   Tonight in Paris…Man chose to do evil…not God.   These killers worked for the devil…not God.  God weeps for what has happened tonight.  Yes…He weeps for his children who have been stolen from this world…by…the devil.   His children, who were killed, will never…ever have the chance to fulfill their God given destiny.    These wicked people actually interfered with the plans that God had for his children.   Now…make no mistake about it…God will not allow what has happened to go unpunished.   He says…vengeance is mine.  Romans 12:19 says, “19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.”    You see…God does not want the hate that killed in Paris on Friday night to make you…also, hate & kill.   

So, what do you do?  You Must Pray.   Pray for those… whose hearts are heavy with sorrow.  Pray for those… whose hearts are full of rage.  Pray for those… whose hearts are full of fear.   Pray for those…whose hearts are full of hate.   Pray that God touches these hearts &… heals them.  Pray that God brings light, into this dark world, to defeat the wickedness of the devil.

Presidential Candidates – Donald Trump & Hillary Clinton: Pick One??? How about Pick None!!! Because…One is Just As Bad As the Other!!!

hillaryclintondonaldtrump

I keep trying to tell myself when I wake-up in the morning… “GIRL…IT’S JUST A BAD DREAM.   DONALD TRUMP & HILLARY CLINTON ARE NOT RUNNING TO BE PRESIDENT OF THE U.S.   AND, IN ACTUALITY… DONALD & HILLARY  HAVE BEEN KIDNAPPED BY THE MINIONS.   SO…UNLESS… YOUR IN HELL…YOU DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THEM.”   Then…I realize…that ain’t true!   Those two devilish asses are up here with the rest of us.   And…hence comes the prayer (I’m not kidding yall) “FATHER, IN THE NAME OF JESUS , WILL YOU PLEEEEEASE PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN FROM THAT LYING DONALD & THAT LYING HILLARY.”   littlbopeepOne lies…& the other swears by it.   They are two sides of the same damn coin.  And…It doesn’t matter that one says their a “Democrat” & the other says their a “Republican.”    Do not be fooled by labels.   These are tricks used…to confuse…& to confound.   O.k.  Would the devil be any less the devil if he called himself  “Little Bo Peep?”  Of course not.    Now…he might put a pink bonnet on his head, but damn…he would STILL be the devil.  Alright, then.

These 2 characters lie as easy as they breathe.   And…you know…you breathe involuntarily. You don’t have to think about it…right??  It just happens.   Same thing.   Meaning what? Meaning that being a charlatan (“a fraud”) has become so much of who they are…they don’t even have to try to deceive people.  They don’t.   It’s effortless for them. There is a saying…”What you do the most…You do the best.”   And…these 2 have been carrying it like this for soooo long…they are “masters” at it.   And… I don’t say that lightly.  Now… let’s look at this a little closer.

I want to hip you to a few things.  Back in March 2008, Hillary Clinton gave a foreign policy speech on Iraq.   She talked about her days as first lady & a trip she made to Tuzla, Bosnia in 1996.  Here is what she said, “I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.”   She was running against Barack Obama for the Democratic Presidential candidate at the time she made these statements.   Now…here’s my point.   WHAT SHE SAID…NEVER HAPPENED!!!   Let me repeat this.  WHAT SHE SAID…NEVER hillaryclintonbosniaHAPPENED.   Meaning?  Meaning…SHE LIED HER ASS OFF.  Who does this???  There were other people, including the media, at the airport when she landed.   Why did she think she would get away with lying about being “fired upon.”  Yes…”fired upon.”  Seriously…   Why would I go around telling people…I have been “fired upon” if…I have never been “fired upon?”  I tell you this…in my entire life…I have never said that.   And…why have I never said that?  Because it is an absolutely CRAZY ASS thing to do.

ABC News ridiculed her statements & the media that accompanied Hillary Clinton on the trip stated that there was no sniper fire.  NONE.  A video of the trip, actually shows Clinton walking from the plane with her daughter Chelsea.  They were greeted by a young girl in a hillaryclintonbosnia2small ceremony on the tarmac.   That’s it and that’s all.   There was no sniper fire at all.  No danger of any kind at all.  When Hillary Clinton was confronted with the lies & the video, she said she made “a mistake” in claiming she had come under sniper fire during the Bosnia trip.  Here’s how she put it & I quote, “So I made a mistake. That happens. It proves I’m human, which, you know, for some people, is a revelation.”  O.k. here’s my question…Who mistakenly goes around saying that people are “shooting at them?”

This was not a mistake made by Hillary Clinton.   A mistake… is when you dial the wrong telephone number.  A mistake…is when you try to break into the wrong vehicle because it looks like yours & you… forgot where you parked.  (O.k. FINE…I’ve been there & done that)  Hillary Clinton’s lying was intentional & she hoped that the lies would make people feel sorry for her.   Well…you see how that worked out.  IT DIDN’T.  And…You know what else??? carlbernsteinhillaryclinton A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Carl Bernstein, wrote a book about Hillary Clinton, titled,  A Woman in Charge: The Life of Hillary Rodham Clinton.   In a July 2015 CNN interview,  he says this about Hillary Clinton, “Clinton has had such a “difficult relationship with the truth” for quite some time that she now has become a “specialist” in fudging facts.”   What does he mean when he says she is “fudging facts?”  What the hell is that?  Fudging???   Why do people like Mr. Bernstein try to clean up… dirty shit?  (Another story for another day)  Why can’t he just tell it like it is?   You know what I’m saying.   You either tell the truth or… you don’t.  O.k.  Here’s what I’m gonna do.  I’m gonna to help Mr. Bernstein out.  I’m going to translate what he is really saying.   FUDGING FACTS = LYING.  Therefore, he is saying this…“She now has become a “specialist” in LYING.”   And…so is Donald Trump.

He is no better.    He actually prides himself on his ability to “con” people.   And…this Presidential run for him is no different.   It’s just another day…where each day brings forth new  opportunities for him to exercise his elevated skills in “manipulating & DONALDTRUMPdeceiving” people.    Donald Trump finds most people to be gullible & inept.  For damn sure…he thinks himself to be far superior to most people.  Thus…he looks at the world as a place…ripe for the picking.  Ripe for his domination.   You see…he loves to “lord” himself over people because he loves having people “look up” to him.   And… lying is one of the weapons he uses…to make this happen.   He is not choosy about what he lies about. Donald Trump will lie on anyone… & about anything.  What the hell does he care as long as he gets what he wants?  For him…the end…ALWAYS… justify the means.  He did it again at the 3rd Republican debate.

During the 3rd Republican presidential debate held on October 28, 2015, Donald Trump stated, “I am the only person in either campaign that’s self-funding. I’m putting up 100% of my own money.”  This was not true.  According to Trumps’ cnbcrepublicandebatefederal filing, his campaign has raised $5.8 million.   Sixty-seven percent (67%) or $3.9 million came from about 75,000 individual contributions.  Trump has put $1.9 million or about thirty-three percent (33%) of his own money into his campaign.  Since when is  accepting campaign funding from 75,000 people… “self-funding?”   And…since when does 33% = 100%?   It’s not that Trump doesn’t know this.  It’s not that he can’t properly add up the numbers.  So…what is it?  Remember what I said earlier…Donald Trump is a specialist at lying…too.  Just like Hillary Clinton.

Jesus says, we are not to allow ourselves to be duped by people like Donald Trump & Hillary Clinton.  He says, 14″Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. (Matthew 15:14)  So…do not be misled by either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton.   Know who you are dealing with regarding these 2 people.   Either 1 of these people could be your best friend one day… & the next…your arch-enemy.  Why?  Not…because of something bad that you have done…but, because they think it’s expedient for them to do so…in what they are trying to accomplish.    FOR SURE!   This is why you MUST see them for who they REALLY are.    Do not be fooled into believing… they are the people… they’re trying to convince you… they are.   Because…they ARE NOT!  Know a devilish spirit when you see one.  Don’t just accept what they say…at face value.   What we have here are 2 “birds of a feather” trying to perch their lying asses in the White House.  And…they want it bad… REALLY BAD.   So badly, that they will say almost anything to get it.

My question to you is this?   How can devilish spirits lead this country into a better state of being?   How can devilish spirits, who lie for a living, ever be trusted?  They can’t.   Think about it.   Since when… do devilish spirits work for God?  I’m just asking.   Jesus says. 24 No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. (Matthew 6:24)  And…for the record,  pathological liars do not work for God.   Lying is not something God does…or condones.  So, choose this day who you will serve.   Will you choose a person to lead you who serves, not God, but himself or herself & the devil???  It’s always your choice.  And…I pray to God…that you choose well.

Spring Valley Black Student: She Won’t Listen—Put Down her Phone—or, Leave the Room. Still…I say DAMN!!! Did Any of her Pettiness Warrant… DRAGGING & A BODY SLAM???

springvalleyhighschoolO.k. Yall…Here’s what went down.

Yesterday, a Black female student, was in class at the Spring Valley High School in Columbia, South Carolina.   They’re saying that she refused to put down her cell phone when her teacher asked her to.   The teacher then, asked her to leave the classroom…she refused.  An Assistant Principal then, came… & asked the student to leave the classroom. Again…she refused.   With all of that,  the school’s resource officer came into the classroom, &…he too…asked her to leave.  Yet again, she didn’t move.

Another student… pulled out her cell phone & started recording the events.   The video seems to show the officer standing over the student… who is seated at her desk.   He puts his arm near her neck, then… yanks her backward.  Her desk tips over & she crashes onto the floor…backwards.  Then, he roughly tosses her toward the front of the classroom.  She separates from the desk & slides across the floor.  He proceeds to arrest her.  Now…before I continue, I want you to watch the video, if you haven’t already seen it.

(Click on the Video below – obtained from NYDN)

This officer is, Ben Fields, a Richland County Sheriff’s Deputy.

deputybenfields

O.k.  First, I think it would be helpful to say this…  The world will be a hell of a lot better off if we always keep in mind & follow the rule… “Treat others as you would have them treat you.”  Jesus, puts it this way, “31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.” (Luke 6:31)

So, what do we have here?  Let’s be fair & look at it… step by step.   O.K.  We have a student who is told to put her cell phone down by her teacher…and, she refuses.   Should she have put the cell phone away?  God says yes, of course.   Alright, then…  Next, she was asked to leave the classroom by the teacher…and again, she refuses.  Should she have left the classroom?  Again, God says yes…she should have followed the teacher’s instructions.   The teacher was in charge…not, the student.   An Assistant Principal, then, comes into the classroom & asks the student to, again, leave the classroom.   The student still refuses.   Should she have left the classroom when the Assistant Principal asked her to?  God says yes.  The Assistant Principal is in charge…not, the student.    So…what do we have at this point?  Let me tell you.

We have a young lady who is being defiant, stubborn, disrespectful & disobedient.  Simply put… she has a bad ass attitude towards the people in charge.  God…in no way disrespecclassroomcondones her attitude or her behavior.  But, I need to ask this question…Why?  Why did this child not listen?  What might have been going on with her that made her act this way? Food for thought.   That is…if we are seeking understanding.   O.k. Let’s continue.

Now…when the officer approaches the student…she is sitting in her chair while he stands over her.   Was it proper for him…to proceed in the manner he did?  Now, remember…we are coming from God’s perspective.   God says this.   Deputy Sheriff Ben Fields…had absolutely no right putting his arm near her neck… yanking her backwards so that she crashed on the floor.   No right at all.  Why?  Because… all of that was not necessary to achieve the goal…he was suppose to be trying to achieve.  And…what was that again?  To get the student out of the classroom.   You might  be thinking… “But, Iris…she won’t move. She refuses to listen!” O.k… I hear all of that.    But, with that said…God says this.   The Deputy is suppose to be trained to use the least force possible…to gain control of the situation.    You can tell that Deputy Fields is a very strong man.  Yes…& he threw her around like a rag doll.    O.k.   The student did not have a weapon that she was trying to use against anyone.  With that said… he should have asked her to stand up.   If she refused, the Deputy could have pulled her up out of the chair…to stand her… up.  Again, using the least force possible to make that happen.  He could have held her firmly and guided her out of the classroom.

I know…If this Deputy has worked as a Deputy for any length of time…he has confronted people that were a lot more belligerent & aggressive in their actions, than this student.   Of course he has.  Confrontations… where he had to really wrestle with people so he could hand-cuff them.   Why?  Because… they were really fighting their asses off…against him.   However, that is not the case here.   It’s just not.   Once he put his arms around her neck, then, you see the female student hitting at him.  You do not see her hitting at him before this.   The Deputy escalated the situation…& went from 0 to 100…in record time.   It’s that simple.   The excessive force he used… indicates his thinking towards this young girl.   His attitude was this, “I don’t give a shit about you & I’m going to make you do what I want you to do.”  Now…why would he feel this way?   I know this man…would not want any children of his to be slammed backwards & dragged around.  So, again, why did he do whitemenblackwomenslaverythese things?  Is it because she is a Black female? Now…this question was asked of the Sheriff about his Deputy.   And…he said, “ I don’t know.  Deputy Fields has been dating a Black woman for a while.”  The Sheriff then, insinuated that this fact would lean towards the Deputy favorably viewing Black people.  So…  Does the fact that Deputy Fields is dating a Black woman…mean that this man is not a racist???  HELL NO.   A White person dating a Black person,  in and of itself…is not determinative as to whether that White person is racist or not.   Hell…all you have to do is take a glance back in our history.   It is no secret that many, many…White men known as “slave masters” slept with the Black women they enslaved.   The fact that these White men had sexual relations with these women did not make the White men any less “racist” in their views about Black people.  They still held them enslaved.  They still thought themselves better than these Black people.   O.k… let’s move on.

To be honest with you…if she was my child, I probably would not be writing this blog post to you right now.  Why?  Because my ass would be in jail.  Why?  Because when my child jailbirdcliparttold me what happened to her,  I would have been down at that Sheriff’s office…FIT TO BE TIED.  God as my witness…I would have come through those doors,  held out my wrist & told them…somebody better handcuff me right now…because I’m getting ready to go off up in this *&#$@.   I think you understand what I’m trying to say.   Think about it… Some man is gonna put his hands on my child, body slam her backwards…& drag her on a dirty… ass… floor.  HELL NO!  WHOA!  Oh Yeah…I would be locked up…right now.   God says, “Tell the truth & shame the devil.”   And…I’m telling you nothing but the truth.

It has been reported that some are defending the officer by pointing out that the video is not complete.   Complete or not…it doesn’t matter.   Let me explain.   Again, the officer is suppose to be trained to handle these situations…using the least force possible.   No one has come forward, not the Teacher nor the Assistant Principal, & said that this child was attacking anyone.   No one has said that the student was threatening anyone.  Why haven’t they?  Because she wasn’t.  The people who are trying to insinuate that this Deputy was justified in his behavior…can’t change the “truth” of what happened.   As a matter of fact, the School officials for the district did a press conference today & here is what was said by one of the School Board members (a White man), “What we all watched on that shamefully shocking video is reprehensible, unforgivable.”  

To the officer’s defenders, I say this:  “I don’t give a damn if she cussed out everyone in the room, over and over…if that was all she did…the officer still would not be justified in what he did to her.  Her behaviors in no way justified him having his arm near her neck, yanking her backwards causing her desk to tip over so she crashes onto the floor…backwards.  He had no right dragging that child across the floor in the way he did.”

So…What Now?  Deputy Ben Fields needs to be fired.   Yes.   His behavior indicates that he does not have the necessary temperament to be dealing with the public as an officer of the copangrylaw.   He seems to have a short temper that can lead to more tragic events if…he is allowed to continue as a Deputy Sheriff.   He crossed all kinds of lines in how he interacted with the student.  He used excessive force in how he dealt with her.  He just did.  And… I can’t clean-up what’s dirty.   He blew it & he needs to go.

You might ask…what about the student since she didn’t act right either?  As for the student, the school can punish her for not following the directives of the teacher & the Assistant Principal if they so choose.   Would that be o.k.? It’s not an issue of being o.k. or not…the school has a duty to keep order in that environment.   As a school, you do not want to encourage other students to behave defiantly as this student did.   You know…they just may end up feeling that she has been through enough.  I think she has.  But…whom am I?

When all is said & done… we must remember this…the student is a child.  And, children can say & do…some very foolish things at times.   Nevertheless, a child is still a child.   A child… that should not be thrown & tossed around like… trash.

Ahmed Mohamed – Arrested 14-year Old Inventor: Says “GOOD RIDDANCE” to Racist Ass U.S… & “HELLO to Qatar!!!”

UPDATE!!!!!   UPDATE!!!!!  UPDATE!!!

O.k.   Many, Many…Many people have been asking for an UPDATE on that genius young AhmedMohamed1man, AHMED MOHAMED, who was ARRESTED for bringing a homemade clock to school in Irving, Texas, last month.   Yes…Remember, the Irving Police arrested him, even, after they knew the device he brought to school…WAS A JUST  A “CLOCK.”   These devilish rascals didn’t even bother to contact his parents…first.   Of course not…that would have been too much like the RIGHT THING to do.   Why call the parents…when you can just harass a Muslim child???  Now…not to know that Ahmed’s arrest was motivated by the fact that this child is MUSLIM…is just being too damn naive. Why do I say this?  First, because I speak nothing but the truth.   Second, because many…many….maaanny Americans are so afraid (shaking in their shoes…AFRAID) that every Muslim in this country… wants either to “Blow them Up” or “Cut their Heads Off.”  I’ll let them choose which one, or… if both, applies to their type of thinking.  O.k.   Now…to add insult to injury…the child was also suspended from school.  Who does this shit to a child??? Racist Hearts…that’s who!!!

Alright.  So, for Ahmed…Where do things stand at this time???  O.k.  About 2 weeks ago, Ahmed went to visit the Qatar Foundation’s sprawling Education City.  In a news release from the Foundation, Ahmed said, “I was really impressed with everything that Qatar Foundation has to offer and the campuses are really cool.

On this past Monday,  Oct. 21st…Ahmed met with President Obama at the White House ahmedhuggingPresidentObamaAstronomy Night.  Ahmed was among 300 visitors to “Astronomy Night,” which celebrates science and learning.  How cool is that!  President Obama had asked Ahmed to bring his “infamous clock” to the White House but Ahmed, wasn’t able to show his “clock” to President Obama because… it was still in the Irving Police’s custody. (GGGGRRRR – that makes me soooooo mad)  Anyway.

About 24 hours after Ahmed met with President Obama… Ahmed’s family announced that he was offered scholarships for school & college in Doha, Qatar.  And…the scholarships were accepted.  Meaning???  Meaning…Ahmed, his parents & siblings will leave the U.S. this coming week…for Qatar.    Where is Qatar?   It is next to Saudi Arabia in the Middle East. mapqatar2

Ahmed will take part in the Young Innovators Program at the Qatar Foundation.  Ahmed said, “I got to meet other kids who are also really interested in science and technology.  I think I will learn a lot and also have lots of fun there.”

So…Why Now?  Why did Ahmed’s parents decide to allow their son to accept scholarships ahmedmohamedfamilyfor a school (that’s on the other side of the world)… where the whole family would have to be uprooted?  You have to know that this was a major decision for this family.   You have to know that this was also…a very painful predicament that this family found themselves having to do deal with.  No doubt.

Soooo..Did it have anything to do with the negative (to put it mildly) experiences that Ahmed just went through at the Irving, Texas high school???  OF COURSE IT DID!  How could it not!  You would have to be living under a rock, or something, not to understand…how such harassment & how such a clear display of prejudices…against a 14 year old child…would impact the child & his family.   It had to be traumatic. Very…Traumatic.

AhmedMohamedarrestAccording to the Dallas Morning News, here’s what Ahmed’s father, Mohamed Elhassan Mohamed,  said about the situation, “We are going to move to a place where my kids can study and learn, and all of them being accepted by that country.”   The operative term here people is… “accepted.”   How could that man continue to feel “accepted” by a country that went from “zero to one hundred” in escalating a “nothing” situation into an “arrest” situation regarding his son???  HIS MINOR SON. How could that man continue to feel “accepted” by a country that didn’t even have the decency to contact him or his wife, before they interrogated & arrested his son?

Oh, yeah…&, don’t let me forget this part…   The Irving Police department didn’t even bother to read Ahmed his rights before they arrested him.  An oversight??? HELL NO!  In their minds…what rights did Ahmed have that they were bound to acknowledge?   In this justicetaneyland of the free & home of the brave…where have we heard about this scenario before???  Let me see…   Yes, I got it.   Remember the statements that were made by a United States Supreme Court Chief Justice who called himself, Roger Taney.   It happened on March 6, 1857, when Chief Justice Taney issued the court’s decision in the Dred Scott v. Sanford case.   Justice Taney noted that the question of law before the Court was… Whether African Americans are citizens of the United States and thus able to file suit in federal court?  Justice Taney’s analysis of that issue is as follows:               [African Americans] had for more than a century                                                        before been regarded as beings of an inferior order, and                                            altogether unfit to associate with the white race, either in social                              or political relations; and so far inferior, that they had no rights                            which the white man was bound to respect; and that the negro                                might justly and lawfully be reduced to slavery for his benefit.                                He was bought and sold, and treated as an ordinary article of                                  merchandise and traffic, whenever a profit could be made by it.”

So, what we have here in Ahmed’s situation, is this…a different factual scenario…but…the same racist mentality.  A mentality that thinks & acts out,  “Look here Brown Boy… You have no rights that a White Police Officer has to respect.”   Hence, no parents contacted…no rights read…etc…etc…   You get the picture.

ahmedmohameddc

It has also been reported that Ahmed’s family was pushed… not just by the trauma of the arrest but by the anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant attacks on him and his family that followed. (SURPRISE! SURPRISE!)   The Dallas Morning News reports that Ahmed’s uncle, Aldean Mohamed said, “This has destroyed the whole family, you know.  We are here for 30 years. We love Irving and want to be in Irving but this is their choice [to leave].”  The Washington Post reports that Ahmed’s sister Eyman said the Middle East won’t feel too different from the U.S., except that the family will be surrounded by Muslims like themselves.    That says it all, doesn’t it???        “Muslims like ourselves.”  People seek the comfort…& the sanctuary of others, like them…who they can relate to…when they are harassed, maligned & treated so harshly.

You know what else?… To this day, neither the school nor police have apologized or expressed any regret for suspending Ahmed & arresting him…again…for having a clock.   But, while I have been disgusted & upset about what this family has gone through…I talkingtogodthink the saddest part for me is this…  It’s been reported that this family has no intent on ever coming back to this country.   I know in my heart…it is our loss…not theirs.   So, I say this to Ahmed & his family…“I pray nothing but the best for you.   Keep God always first in your heart & you will be able to sustain anything that this life throws your way.  Just know that you are loved by many…who you will never see… face to face.  May God Bless You & Keep You & Always make his face to shine upon You.  Much love, Iris.”

P.S.  Ahmed, tweeted Friday:

 GOT MY CLOCK BACK FINALLY!!

5:14 PM – 23 Oct 2015

Let me explain.   Spiritually speaking…there are 2 sides to any human being.   We have the “flesh” side which is the “evil” side of us.   Then, we have the “spirit man” side which is the “godly” side of us.  And…NO!  I am not making this stuff up.  I’M NOT.    The bible says & I quote…”  19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. (Galatians 5:19-21)

You see…if we are to combat the things that hinder us (including ourselves), than, we must understand what’s going on.    When we operate from our “fleshly” side…we can easily be TIRED.   Yes.   And…it is no small matter to get beyond that feeling, when it comes upon us.   Not, like a thief in the night…but kind of.  (Well…maybe not)  Maybe…it’s more like sleepiness coming on.  Yeah…like that.   When the “TIRED” feeling within us…rises up…it all goes south…down                                                                                                                                                               down                                                                                                                                                                down.    And, it goes South…quick.   The shame of it…is this.   You are not going to get anything meaningful done when your in the “TIRED” mode.  Your not.   So…What’s to be done?   I’ll tell you.   You must fight against the “TIRED” within you & tap into the “spirit man” side.    The “spirit man” side is tapped into by talking to God.          
It’s easy.   Let me tell you how I do it.                                                                                                                                      powerofgodlightningWhen the “TIRED” within me is trying to take over… I say this to God, “Will you pleeeeease…give me what I need, so I can get done all the things I need to do.  I ask this in the name of Jesus.”   And, God as my witness…IT WORKS.  It works for me every… single… time.   In the past, sometimes it would take all I’ve got for me to get my ass going…& do what I was suppose to do.   And, sometimes…it just didn’t happen.  No joke.   Nowadays …I don’t have that problem.     You see… once I learned that I have no power to do anything…and, that all power comes from God, the hard part was over.    God…is limitless in his power.    Human beings are not.   God…is all powerful.   Human beings are not.  So, I simply…tap into the limitless power of God.

Now, I am sure that it’s easy for me to get God to shower me with his power because of my close relationship with him.  So…just get closer & closer to him…& watch him give you his limitless power…too.   Getting closer to him… is easy.  I wouldn’t lie to you.  Just start talking to him on a regular basis & read the bible.

No more…Lazyinbed

Former NBA star Lamar Odom: Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places. Man… God’s Right In Front of You !!!

Alright.    First, I want to give praises to God, on behalf of Lamar Odom, for the work that God has already done.    THANK GOD…Lamar Odom, former NBA player, came out of Lamar Odomhis coma yesterday.   You see… they took him to the hospital this past Tuesday, after finding him unconscious at the Love Ranch whorehouse in Nevada.  That’s right…a whorehouse.   (You know the media makes me laugh when they try to clean-up shit.  There calling it a “brothel.”)   As…I was saying…  It appears Lamar may have been doing cocaine & taking some kind of natural form of Viagra, while at the Love Ranch.  They are saying that he spent $ 75,000.00 there,  in a 4 day time period. ( You know what pisses me off about this…children are starving to death everyday…& some of us…just throw money away like it grows on trees) Anyway…

Dennis Hof, the owner of the Love Ranch in Crystal, said that Khloe Kardashian’s Image: Dennis Hof publicist contacted him…trying to get him to be quiet about what happened at the Love Ranch.   Hof said that Khloe’s publicist thanked him & asked him,  “you been doing any media?”   Hof replied …that he was speaking to various news outlets.  The publicist then, said “Just send that information to me and Khloe will be speaking about Lamar.”   Hof told NBC News that he then, responded, “Excuse me, this is my place of business, and I know what happened, and Khloe Kardashian is not going to speak for me.  And would you do me a favor? Tell Khloe Kardashian to go to hell.”                                                                                                              Hof (by Ray Tamarra)

It appears upon arrival at the hospital, Odom was hooked up to a ventilator and the doctors deemed his condition to be critical.  They are saying that he suffered a stroke & has some brain damage.  It seems like he was taken off the ventilator for a short time.  But, make no mistake about it…he is still in critical condition.   Lamar is sedated, back on the ventilator and requiring a breathing mask.

So, what has been going on in this young man’s life that might have brought him to this point?  Now, while only God & Lamar know what’s been going on…there are some indicators here.   At only 12  years old…he lost his mother to  cancer.  He grew up with a lamarkhloedad who was a drug addict.  His son, Jayden, & his grandmother passed away.  Amidst claims he was using drugs,  the LA Clippers dropped him in 2013 as his performances faltered.   He separated & is going through divorce proceedings with Khloe Kardashian.  Recently, he was devastated by the death of his best friend who had issues with heroin.   Lamar, once said,  “death always seems to be around me.”

You know what???…People either don’t know or forget that…God is here.  God is the ultimate love that can fill your heart.  It doesn’t matter what crap life throws your way on any given day…&… you better believe it…It’s coming.   No doubt.   But…that’s not the point, because…that’s life.   It’s what you do…when shit hits the fan…that counts.   How you respond to what happens to you…is what defines you.   It’s that simple.   So, what do you do?  Do you run to God for help…or do you think you know best…& take another path???  I’m just asking.

stopsignhand

                                           WARNING!  WARNING! WARNING!                                   There will be no tip toeing done here.  We don’t have time for babysitting grown ass folk. O.k.   So, if that’s what your looking for…STOP READING THIS right now.   I’m not the one.  The devil is busy…stealing God’s children & I was not sent here to sugar coat…shit.  Now…if your still with me…HERE WE GO!!!

The problem Lamar Odom has here …is this.   Many of us have a tendency to run…to the devil & devilish things when crap comes our way.   Instead of running…to God…we, run away from him.   And…I know…that You know…what I’m talking about.   Yes.  We tend to run…to what we see… as the quick fix.   Here’s what we think,  “What can I do, right now, to make me forget about this shit that’s going in my life?”    You partyingmight even call one of your friends or your buddies to partake in the…lifting of your blues. But, let me tell you one thing.   There is no place to hide from life.  No place.   I don’t care if you try to sex it up….drug it updrink it uplaugh it upgame it upwork it up…your PROBLEMS…are not going to disappear.  They ain’t going no where.  When you finish sexing it up…drugging it up…drinking it up…laughing it up…gaming it up…working it up…Guess What???  That’s Right.  Those PROBLEMS that was there, before…are still there.   The only difference might be this.   Your  dumb acting ass might have added additional problems to your situation.   That’s all.

Think about it…What good has it done this young man…whom we know as Lamar Odom… loveranchto have drugged it up with cocaine &…sexed it up @ the Love Ranch?   It has done him no damn good.   Anybody with good sense will tell you… having a stroke is not a good thing for your body.  He is only 35 years old.  DAMN.   That’s really messed up.    God did not desire for his son, Lamar Odom, to end up in hospital, like this.  He did not.  God loves that man.   However, here is what God does say.

Proverbs 3

                            11)   My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline,
                                    and do not resent his rebuke,                                                                                                         12)   because the Lord disciplines those he loves,
                                    as a father the son he delights in.

Now…Lamar Odom’s children, Destiny and Lamar Jr., issued a statement on Thursday.  In part, it says: Thanks for your outpouring of prayers and support for our dad. We ask for your continued prayers.”

If you are reading this…I want you to pray this prayer with me …for Lamar Odom:             “Heavenly Father…We know that you already know what is going on with Lamar Odom. For…you know the end at the beginning.   And…Lamar is your son.   Please touch him with your Holy Spirit & turn him from the wickedness of his ways.   Let him understand and know… that you have everything that he will ever need.  Let him understand  & know without a doubt… that you have never left him or forsaken him.   If he is distant from you…let him know…it was not you who left…but, him.    And…Father…let your son feel the love that you have for him.  Let it shower down upon his spirit like a beautiful, soft morning rain.   Let him know that there is no problem, on earth, that is bigger than you.  Remind him, that all he has to do is come back home… to you.   Remind him, that he has a wonderful purpose on this earth…that does not include using cocaine & sexing it up at any whorehouse… anywhere.    Bless him and keep him Father & make your face to shine upon him.   Let him know that as long as there is breath in his body…there is hope.    The hope that he will carry out the godly purposes for which you have created him.  I pray all of these things in the name of Jesus, Amen. “
