Jennifer Hudson is about to sing on Dick Clark's New Year's Show...on ABC...

Happy New Year!

If you’re going to drink alcohol, even a sip, then please get a safe, alcohol-free driver to drive you…

Kudos to the Florida State University Seminoles for being in the Chick-Fil-A Bowl!...It's scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m. ET...Let's get to choppin'! Go Noles!

Sometimes, people want you to stay quiet because they're not ready for the great things that will come from you...In 2011, don't let others impede your voice...Open your mouth, and say what needs to be said...

As 2010 is ending, I’m thankful that I got to be a part of this year. I’m singing an old time gospel—We thank You, Lord. We thank You for our journey. You brought us from a long long way….Through tear stained eyes You brought us….ups and downs, You brought us. You brought us, Oh Lord, You brought us…You’ve been leading us. You’ve been guiding us along life’s narrow way…--Please, sing with me if you know it.

Sometimes, people mistake my calmness for lack of understanding. It's not that I don't understand. I get it. I'm just not pressed....

is singing an oldie---It's gonna be a bright (bright) bright (bright) sunshiny day...

Though some might take offense, it's good to guard your business from those who don't need to know even if they smile in your face....

Jennifer Hudson is Sanging on the Kennedy Center Awards....on CBS...Whew!

Sometimes, there's more to be heard in silence than in noise... inspiration

Sometimes, there's more to be heard in silence than in noise...

When you own a company that needs to make and save money, be thankful for haters. Haters can function as assets. In their ridicule, skepticism, and/or lies, they provide free marketing…As such, they work for you for Free!...

It's been said that it's important to wisely choose your battles. When people speak foolishly, you don't have to show them all of their logical errors. Sometimes, you have to be quiet and let the foolish slide. Though they'll think that they out smarted you here and there, when they really didn't, if you continue to use wisdom, in dealing with them, then it will pay off for you....

Sometimes, when you're on the brink of a breakthrough, distractions will come to hinder you. Don't get caught up in the pollution. Focus on your purpose, and reach the promise...

Though there was already snow left on the grass from last week (in Cinti, OH), this morning, we got a fresh sprinkling of snow! We have a white Christmas...Yay!

The Bible indicates that we ought not think more highly of ourselves than we ought (Romans 12:3)...It's interesting that some people think that you need their stamp of approval for everything little thing that you say and do...You only need God's approval...

Merry Christmas!

Some people project themselves on others. If they’re mean, then they view others as mean. Ironically, when they “see” others, they actually see themselves. They’re looking at the man in the mirror but not asking him to change his ways….

For some, love is stamped on their image rather than ingrained in their essence...When you get to know someone based on essence rather than image, you'll see the depth of their love.

When I last posted, we were in northern TN. About an hour ago, we made it to Cincy...Yay!

What I'm about to say might go against some people's theology. Here it is...I believe in Christmas miracles. This Christmas will yield many great memories!

As I sit here looking at things and thinking, Maya Angelou's poem "Life Doesn't Frighten Me" adequately describes me...

During the holiday season, as some men might try to work on getting Christmas love or holiday love, the Temptations provided one key to getting a women when they sang, “Treat Her Like a Lady.”….

It's not good to entrust information to people who aren't ready for it. They might abuse it...

Some people say that they don't know how they got caught up in mess....It's hard to get caught up in mess when you're not in it....

It's interesting how some people mistake a statement for a question...For example, you can tell them what you're going to do, but they give their opinion of what you should do, as if you asked...

Don't let your present delimit your future....

Gifts for Jesus on His "Birthday": On Christmas, many celebrate Jesus' birth. In giving on His birthday, don't forget to give Him a gift. This year, in addition to my daily prayer time, I'm giving Jesus 2 straight hours of praise and worship, as part of my gift, on His birthday. What are you giving Jesus on His birthday?

Sometimes the small sacrifices yield the large payoffs...

Today's my mother's birthday. She’s laid hands on the dead, and they came back to life. She’s laid hands on the sick, and they were healed. For over 35 years, she’s preached with a Serious Holy Ghost anointing. She’s a True woman of God. In addition, she’s a fashionista(including tight jeans and 4”+ heels) and does high kicks during exercise. Happy birthday Mommy (Deborah AJ Walker)…At 62, you’re a diva! I love you!

It's not good to let people, who can't see your vision, talk you into doing things that go against the plan...

If you really want to know something, then get to know it for yourself…Don’t rely upon someone else’s distorted view no matter how accurate it might appear…Their distortion could mislead you….

Don't minimize you to accommodate others' fears...

It would be sad to give a child the latest shoes, phone, gadgets, or clothes instead of needed educational services. If you know a child who needs tutoring, then please, prioritize your gifts. Give the gift of education.

It's nice to give...However, some people want you to give to them because they know you have the resources. Remember that you need to be there for you, when you need you...

Don't listen to egocentric people who say that you can't do something because they've never seen you do it. They don't realize that even if they never see you do it, you can do what you can do...

This has been one of my favorite quotes since high school: "Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far".--African Proverb and Former President Theodore Roosevelt

When people raise the bar higher for you than they do for themselves, surpass their expectations...

When you stop making excuses for people, you're better positioned to see them for who they are...

Turn everything into your advantage...

Ritz crackers taste pretty good dipped in ranch dressing….

It's good to live such that if other people don't start arguments, then there won't be any...

I'm not letting the what ifs and nos stop me. I have a vision, and I'm going for it....

Undercover Boss is on CBS...

Well, there are 12 teams in the ACC. Only two played in tonight’s championship game. My team Florida State lost. Though they lost, they can say that 10 didn’t make it, but they were one of the ones who did. Kudos Florida State for representing us with dignity and grace! Congratulations Virginia Tech on your win!

If you're in a tough situation, then pray and ask God for a word. He lifes His words. If He could speak this world into existence and it's still sustained, then surely, He can life and sustain the word that He gives you.

Some people want the results without the process. However, it's hard to get good results without going through proper process...

When people, who don't support you, expect you to support them, keep smiling.

Adaptability can allow you to maneuver through tight places...

So I'm thinking about taking my first cruise....If you've been on a cruise, then please, share insights...Thank you

Wisdom expedites processes. Use wisdom to get it done.

When you have an eventful day, it's good to focus on the positive...

O.K....In my previous posting, I asked you the definition of a good woman...(drum roll)...Now, FB, what's the definition of a good man?

So I've been told that I'm a good woman...However, I hear women who cheat call themselves good women...FB, what's the definition of a good woman?

I've tutored tens of children, and I've heard a number of parents say, "I didn't know my child was that far behind."...Check your child's homework every night, and you'll have a good indication of where they are...Take time to help them, or get someone to help them as soon as there's a problem...

It's interesting when people want their opposers to listen to their view, but they can't take listening to their opposers' view...

Most people, who know me, like the fact that I stand for what I believe...I've pretty much been like that all of my life....If I like something, I like it; and if I don't, I don't...It doesn't matter if others agree....

Money is not worth moral compromise.

In the Bible, God commands that we neither touch His anointed nor do His prophets harm (Psalms 105:15). Some people touch and do harm by lying on God’s anointed and telling at least one other person the lie. Sometimes, such people wonder why things go wrong in their lives…They need to look back to see who they touched and/or harmed…repent and get it right…God meant the command. I pray for such people…

Fear is a root to jealousy. Some people are jealous because they’re scared that someone will outshine them. It’s sad that such jealous people will do whatever (lie, cheat, steal) to discredit the person who’s the object of their jealousy.

Yay! I'm back in Albany, Georgia...Cincinnati was great!...I enjoyed being with family (from those that I see everyday to others that I hadn't seen in years), and I got to see a little snow....Wonderful!

Florida State won and Maryland won...so Florida State is going to the ACC Championship! Go Noles!

Maryland....38....North Carolina State...31.....Congrats Maryland!

Florida State....31.....Florida....7.....F -L-O-R-I-D-A S-T-A-T-E....FLORIDA STATE ....FLORIDA STATE...FLORIDA STATE...Whew!

If the shoe doesn't fit, then why wear it? Do you really want to add unnecessary pain?

Mmmnn…I’m chillaxin’ and thinking about dressing, greens (with hot sauce), ooey gooey butter cake, candied sweet potatoes, and macaroni and cheese…I’m just too sleepy to raid the refrigerator--lol

I love love love my family and enjoyed them sooo much on Thanksgiving…I have a number of other family members who are great (loving and fun for me to be around) like the ones I was with on Thanksgiving…I’m blessed….

Don’t minimize who you are to fit into another person’s frame of view…

My tough times happen for God to get the glory as my deliverer. As such, I'm not focused on my story. I'm looking at His glory....

Yay! I'm in Cinti, OH....Grandma's doing great, and I look forward to seeing more family and friends...

I look forward to going to Cincinnati (home)tomorrow...I'll be there from tomorrow afternoon until Saturday morning. I would like to see as many family and friends as possible. I want to get together so here's my cell phone number 229-395-3625...

In qualitative research, the researcher analyzes data without preconceived conclusions. Likewise, in life, it’s good for us to analyze situations without preconceived conclusions. Draw conclusions based on what happened not how we thought it should have happened….

It’s good to have discretion in associations. Sometimes, the company that you don’t keep says more about you than the company that you keep…

Here's a restatement of my cousin Teddy Walker's notice:
Do not click on the Christmas Tree application on FB. There's a virus associated with it.

When you let people control your thoughts, they control your results...

Though most forms of slavery are illegal, currently, some people sell themselves for a price (cars, money, food, or the like)...Then, those slaves wonder why it’s hard of for them to obey God…It’s because He’s not their master….

Here’s my take on some of tonight’s Undercover Boss moments…Sheri (the second Sandwich Artist) had a great attitude…DeWayne (the last Sandwich Artist) displayed great humility…...Jesse (the first Sandwich Artist) had Poor internal customer service...So why reward Jesse’s bad behavior?…

In watching tonight’s episode of Undercover Boss, one concept surfaces…..Customer Service…No matter how you’re training someone, you should have a great attitude with your trainee (internal stakeholder) and customer (external stakeholder)….

Some couples debate over "who wears the pants" in the relationship. Well, I wear the tight pants. I don't date men who wear tight pants...

When I was younger, I didn’t understand when older people said, “Leave well enough alone.”….Now, I get it. They were right. Sometimes, you have to leave well enough alone.

So my hair is thick and tangly, and I experiment with detangling methods that pull out the least amount of hair….On a regular, people tell me that my hair looks like a weave (Some people don’t believe that this is my hair.) Last night, I sprayed some weave detangler in my hair, and it quickly detangled my hair (I pulled out very few strands). Go figure---LOL

This will be a great day!

I thank God for favor…. I Needed Him to flex His arm and show how strong He is… I fervently prayed believing Him to be a prayer answering God. I knew that if He didn’t do it, then it wouldn’t get done…..Well, He flexed and moved some mountains. Today, I saw the manifestation of His hand. He worked that situation out like only He could do it. Where the mountains once were, He left His mark. Thank you Jesus!

In life’s “complexities”, sometimes we overlook the “corners” of our lives. It’s good to look in the “hidden” areas to see if you already have something that you’ve been trying to get.…

Sometimes, you just gotta do it how ya do it…

People, who cheat on God, find it hard to stay faithful in other relationships…

I enjoy listening to Dick Vitale commentate college basketball games...I just heard him on ESPN. I've loved Dick Vitale since the 90s! In my Dick Vitale voice, "Yeah Baby!"

Though I'm in a battle, I'm preparing my victory speech because I feel like I'm coming out soon with a win....

Sometimes where you go, and what you do, speaks more about your character than how you verbally describe yourself….

Kudos to Michael Vick for a historically, spectacular performance! You put on a clinic, and your team was superb __defense and offense...Thanks for the instant classic!

Tonight's Undercover Boss was pretty good. Lucky Strike's CEO has a heart for people, and his compassion oozed in how he interacted and empathized with his employees....Yes, I cried!

Undercover Boss is on CBS...

So this just happened for the umpteenth time…. I turned and noticed men apparently taking my picture, Without My Permission, with their camera phones...How Rude! Get Permission! Permission! Permission!

Cincinnati Bengals: Let’s get fired up! Hold your heads high, and play like winners. Go out there with a Who Dey attitude, and beat those Colts! Who Dey! (Bengals vs. Colts 11-14-2010 at 1:00 p.m. ET CBS)

A little hope goes a long way...

Clarity of mind is important. The more people justify wrong, the more confused they get about right...

When you have a lot of work to do, sometimes you have to break things up into chunks. Working and focusing on one chunk at a time can help reduce anxiety.

When people properly discipline children, they show the children that they love them enough to correct them. Some "adults" find it difficult to discipline children because those "adults" are stuck in childhood...

is singing and bouncing to an old time favorite Christian song---All in His hands, I put it all in Hands....This and that, this this this this and that...I put it all in His hands...

You are better able to live in the present and move into the future when you deal with how the past happened versus how you wish it happened (or how someone else wishes that it happened)…..

Undercover Boss had a sweet touch at the end...Instead of the normal heavy cry, today's episode evoked a light cry....

Undercover Boss just came on CBS...

Most of the United States falls back an hour starting early Sunday (November 7th) morning...Yay! Definitely, I will enjoy my hour of Extra Sleep. Whew!

Today, I had a good time yard sale shopping. All items, that I bought, were "like new" at great prices: computer desk ($5), desk organizer ($1.50), waffle maker ($4), and two rings ($10).

Don't give up...

Is singing Donald Lawrence’s song “Seasons”---… “You survived the worse of time. God was always on your side. State your claim, and write your name. Walk into this wealthy place”.

When you’re not a puppet, it’s hard for people to try to string you….

It's nice to have a backbone. It takes more time to scoot, without a backbone, than it does to walk with one.

It's important to wear a thinking cap. My first grade teacher Jan Anderson used to tell us to put on our thinking caps. Some adults need to be reminded that wearing a thinking cap can reduce blind followership.

Academic integrity is important. If it’s not your original thought, then put it in quotes, and cite the source.

If you haven’t already voted, then vote today, November 2, 2010. The Health Care Bill passed because strong congressional Democrats voted for it. Though over 32 million uninsured Americans, which includes Democrats and Republicans, could benefit from the Health Care Bill, all congressional Republicans voted against the bill. We need representatives who will push, not impede, the change. Yes, we can!

Today, I enjoyed attending the Fulton County (GA) Vendor Opportunity Day…I met and networked with some great people…

I enjoy running into people who I haven’t seen in a while, and they’re friendly (stop and speak) as opposed to brand new (act like they don’t know you).

It's good to be home (Cincinnati, OH). Though I look forward to seeing family and friends, I'm mainly here to go to my paternal Aunt Mary "Sis" Whaley's (Grandma Bernice Benyon's sister) funeral and celebrate my sister's (JoVonne Walker) birthday.

Yay! Today, my company Top Brainiac Inc. moved to Atlanta, GA. Here’s Top Brainiac’s new address:

Top Brainiac Inc.
3455 Peachtree Road, Northeast, Suite 500
Atlanta, GA 30326

As Top Brainiac moved to Atlanta, I will move to Atlanta in the near future….

When you take time to live in the moment, you make better decisions for the future.

Though some political candidates are slinging mud, and some of it might be true, don’t get caught up in the mess…Stay focused when you vote…Choose the candidates that will represent we the people and not a select few of the people….Vote early (now) - November 2, 2010.

If your situation requires strong faith, then don’t tell doubters your business…The less doubt imposed, in your situation, the better.

Foolishness is not cool…It’s not good practice to act foolish to fit in with people who are certifiably crazy….

So, I was at the end of Undercover Boss and hadn't really cried...Then, on the last employee's meeting with the CMO, I got my serious cry on....NASCAR offered to pay all of the employee's child's, unmet leukemia related, medical expenses...Whew!

Undercover Boss just came on CBS....Yay!

Some people waste time when they get angry about stuff that’s none of their business….Let’s make good use of our time.

According to an African proverb, it takes a village to raise a child. Likewise, it takes a village to run a country. Though President Barack Obama is the head man in charge, he needs help to get decisions passed. Let’s help him get his village. Let’s vote for people who’ll help, not hinder, Obama. Yes we can!!! Vote early (now) –November 2, 2010.

Every now and then, it’s good to have a good dose of laughter…

It’s interesting that when some people get a little somethin’ somethin’ they start smelling themselves…Yes, arrogance stinks…

A little love goes a long way...

President Barack Obama declared October 2010 as National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. President Obama appointed the first White House advisor on Violence Against Women to work with federal agencies to end domestic violent in America. Also, under the Affordable Care Act, insurance companies can no longer consider domestic violence as a preexisting condition. Victims can get the care that they need! http://ping.fm/Rxmz8

Yes, it’s nice to give to others. However, sometimes you’ve been blessed with favor for you.

Don’t’ let your current circumstances keep you from moving into your future…

As usual, Undercover Boss was awesome! Whew!

Undercover Boss comes on at 9:00 ET on CBS.

So, in the BCS standings, Oklahoma is #1 while Boise State is #3....hmmm....What do you think?

Some people mistake questions for doubt…According to Socrates, questions can be used as a means to gain more insight…

Florida State University...24......Boston College...19.....F-L-O-R-I-D-A S-T-A-T-E...Florida State...Florida State...Florida State...Whew!

Before speaking, it’s good to make sure that you have a good understanding….

The “Yes We Can” chant sounds good, and the T-shirts look nice. However, they mean little to nothing if people don’t vote. We have to vote in order to push change. Let’s vote__Early Voting (now) through General Election Day November 2, 2010.

Early this morning, in Albany, GA, a woman allegedly shot and killed her ex-husband. Late last night, because of arguing, police were called to the home, and the ex-husband was ordered to leave. However, within two hours, he returned. The next time police were called to the home, the ex-husband had been shot; and, later, at a local hospital, he was pronounced dead.---Get out alive and legally. http://ping.fm/LnMQS

Some people mistake confidence for arrogance…The two are not synonymous…

Georgia Voters: We are in early voting for the November 2, 2010 General Election. You can check your voter registration status and poll locations by going to http://ping.fm/MBwZd Georgia, let’s get out the vote!

In light of the United Negro College Fund’s famous phrase, “A mind is a terrible thing to waste”, let’s try to make the best use of our time. Have a great week!

Cincinnati Bengals, how much worse does Carson Palmer have to play in order for you to make a quarterback change? Carson’s problems have been ongoing; and, today, they manifested in 3 costly interceptions. Come on Coach Lewis. Let’s call someone else’s number. Let’s make a change.

Florida State University....45.......University of Miami (FL)...17......F-L-O-R-I-D-A S-T-A-T-E....Florida State....Florida State....Florida State....Whew!

Vanderbilt University….52………….Eastern Michigan University…6……Go Vandy!!!

South Carolina...35....Alabama...21....Way to knock off Bama!!!

Homeschooling does not mean that you let your children stay at home and dropout of school…When done properly, people who homeschool provide their children a great education….

If you keep trying to perfect it, then it will come together for you...

When brainstorming, don't let the "what if"s stop you...

Today is my dad Joseph Walker’s birthday! Happy birthday Dad! I love you and thank God that you’re alive!

I refuse to live in oblivion, though others might embrace it....

In light of the adage, “Where there’s a will, there’s a way”, keep trying until you get the solution. Sometimes you have to approach the situation from a different angle…

I’m looking for a church in Atl. Will you recommend one? From attending Overflow Christian Fellowship (Albany, GA), where my mom Deborah Alma Jean Walker is pastor, I’m used to the following: 1. Anointed praise and worship and preaching; 2. Church that puts all collected money towards the advertised purpose (no undercover stealing); 3. A pastor who attends and participates in the entire service ; 4. Tongues; and more…

If you keep looking for it, then you'll find it....

Louis Armstrong put it nicely when he sang, “When you smilin’, the whole world smiles with you.”…Though it might sound cheesy (no pun intended), smiling can help improve your day as well as someone else’s day….

I pray for all affected by Sunday’s church van crash in Early County, GA. All 19 passengers were injured in some capacity with four dying….This unfortunate event enforces the fact that people should wear seatbelts, keep babies in car seats, inspect vehicles (especially when they’re old), and not overload vehicles. http://ping.fm/KIrWO

You win some. You lose some. Life goes on…. Goodnight

Oh my goodness, I'm crying so hard...Whew! Undercover Boss on CBS is awesome!

Cincinnati Reds...3.....Milwaukee Brewers...2.....Da Reds!!!

Though, my local CBS stations didn’t show the Bengals game, and I watched parts of the game online, from what I can tell, the Bengals need a new quarterback…Though T.O. got 222 yards and 1 TD, Ochocinco only got 59 yards; and Palmer threw short passes…. Any thoughts?

Here's a clip of an overview of the 4th Annual Butterfly Release...The video includes an interview with me. http://ping.fm/wmfP1

Alright Cincinnati Reds! Way to get the Milwaukee Brewers….Reds…7….Brewers….4……Da Reds!!!

Today, I enjoyed speaking at the 4th Annual Butterfly Release (Albany, GA). We had beautiful weather for such a beautiful event. We released butterflies in honor of domestic violence victims. I pray that at least one person, who’s affected by domestic violence, realized that if I got alive (not through death) and legally (not by committing a crime against anyone), then s/he can get alive and legally. Thank you Liberty House for having me speak!

Good try Cincinnati Reds! We'll get the Milwaukee Brewers next time!

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. As a domestic violence survivor, tomorrow, I’ll speak briefly at the 4th Annual Butterfly Release. Liberty House of Albany hosts the event which honors those who have died and those who fill our lives with love, joy, and hope. Special thank you to my FB friend Clara Knight Lewis for asking me to speak!--Details: 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. at the Ray Charles Plaza, Albany, GA

is thinking about how Forrest Gump just ran and ran and ran; and, while he was running, good things happened to him….Sometimes, you just have to start running…

I make no apologies for the incredible things that God is doing in my life. Also, I make no apologies for the crazy praise that I’m giving Him for it. As such, I don’t ask anyone to “please excuse me while I dance”. I just pop up and dance…

is singing an old time gospel song---I've gotta feelin' everything's gonna be alright. Oh-oh-oh, I've gotta feelin' everything's gonna be alright. Be alright. Be alright. Be alright....Please, sing it with me if you know it.

When life stings, don't stop livin'. Keep on tickin'.

Though emphasis is placed on teaching children and teens to stand for their beliefs, many adults need instruction on standing for their beliefs…

Cincinnati Reds...3.....Houston Astros....2...Kudos to the Reds-- National League Central Champions--Da Reds!!!

Today, I had a great day in Atlanta. My mom and I drove there to look at housing for me….I need to get the right place at the right time…

Focus on solutions...not distractions...

O.K. so I’m crying while watching Undercover Boss on CBS…I love this show!

Cincinnati Bengals….20……Carolina Panthers….7…..Who Dey!...Who Dey!

As great mysteries have been solved in silence, let's take time to hear what's said in silence......Goodnight

Florida State...31....Wake Forest...0.......F-L-O-R-I-D-A... S-T-A-T-E... Florida State...Florida State... Florida State...Whew!

Contrary to what some might say, it’s very stylish for women to be fabulous rather than ghetto fabulous…

Wake Forest… vs…. Florida State (Seminoles)….at 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC….. Go Noles!!!

Iteration without revelation equals irritation…..It’s annoying when people act like they got a fresh idea, but repeat what someone else has said, without adding any meaning….

When you allow others to dictate how you stand on issues, ultimately, they run your life…

As one of Branford Marsalis' CDs is entitled "I Heard You Twice the First Time", sometimes, when we hear news, we get a revelation of more than what is said....

Sometimes a little encouragement goes a long way...so hold on...You can make it!

If you're in an abusive relationship, then I'm a witness that, though your abuser might say that you're ugly and worthless, you are Beautiful and Valuable...Most of all, if you're to get out of the relationship, then you have the power!

Eating Hershey's special dark chocolate at this time of morning doeth wonders for the soul.....

Controlling people tend to get very upset when you show them that they can’t control you, but you have to do what you have to do…

Sometimes, you just have to “kill ‘em with kindness”…..

Today, Florida State beat BYU…. 34-10…F-L-O-R-I-D-A… S-T-A-T-E…Florida State…Florida State….Florida State…Whew!

Ignorance complicates processes and wastes time....

There's so much more to life than meets the eye. Hear, feel, smell, and taste more of life...

O.K., the cold "bug" is going around, and I have a question. When I hear people cough, sometimes I think of the movie "Outbreak". When people are riding in a car, should they open the window, to let in fresh air, after coughing?

It's poppin'....

When people focus on why something can’t happen, change is easier said than done…

Congratulations to Michael Grimm for winning America's Got Talent.....I prayed for him to win! Yes! Thank you Jesus! Whew!

I look forward to watching America's Got Talent: The Finale...at 8:00 p.m. ET on NBC

Liars lie. Though this might sound intuitive, it’s not good to get information from liars…..

Diversity is a beautiful thing....

While one hand serves to help brace me, my other hand is open and stretched up, reaching for a higher level not a handout....

It's not good to hang with messy people...They could ruboff on you...

According to dictionary.com, chatter means “to talk rapidly in a foolish or purposeless way”… A lot of chatter is annoying…Sometimes I want to offer people Chewy when they chatter….

Yesterday, a man expressed interest in dating me. After asking me if I’ll re-marry and hearing my affirmative reply, he asked what I want in a husband and told me that he makes a good candidate. Yes, he is saved, an established businessman (millionairish)…As I’m not interested in him, he told me that, if ever interested, then I should take him out to demonstrate sincerity. I told him, “No.” Ya’ll am I old fashioned?

Sometimes people can't see who you are and what you stand for because in their minds, they've already made you out to be something else....

While some have worn white sheets, killed, and burned crosses, there have been people who’ve committed acts of hatred in the name of “Christianity”… Now, we have a group who intends to burn the Qur’an. The Bible states that people will know that we are Christians by our love. Christianity is based on love not hate…I sincerely pray that no one burns the Qur’an and that people stop masking their evil as “Christianity”…

Today, I preached "Comin' Out the Fire"--Daniel 3:19-30. I touched on identity; the relevance of 3 (special completeness) and 4 (creation); the importance of having the right people around you; humbling yourself while in the fire so that Jesus shows up, looses you, and walks with you; having all of you go through the fire (purification) so that when you come out all of you will be ready for the elevation.

One of the weirdest things just happened...I was in a study room at the library. A man opened my study room door, stood and stared at me, told me he needed to use the phone. I told him, "Not in here." He kept standing and staring at me. As he tried to close the door, I reached out and pulled it open. He kept staring at me. I kept telling him, "Not in here." Then, slowly he went to the books by room (about 1 foot from me) and stood at the books for a while. I kept my eye on him and watched him go downstairs. As he was going down the stairs, a library staff member (who hadn't seen what happened) was going down behind him. I tried to get the staff member's attention so that he could get the male, but the staff member didn't hear me....I reported the incident. The staff here have been very nice in the process, and one reported that the male had been lurking around and seemed suspicious... Security is looking for the male...I'm now sitting on the first floor in front of offices (with glass walls so staff members can see me)...Thank you Jesus for keeping me!...Now, I need to focus so that I can finish chapter 4 of my dissertation...
