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…
