No Fear In Fighting Injustice...
"When I began to see that this was going to become a part of my life and that part of my life was going to be public, I did my best to try to build a fence between my public life and my private life. I'm a very, very private person. I'm very protective of my family. I'm very protective of my children, because you have a healthy fear that something you say may offend some lunatic out there will come back on someone that you love; that somebody will attempt to do your loved ones harm. That's how people are. If they can't get to you they get to someone that you love.
My mother has admitted to me that sometimes when we stand strong it makes her afraid, because she knows historically what they've done to people who have stood strong against the powers that be. Yet, what do you do? Do you allow those fears to muffle you, to shut you up, to shut you down that you might not do what you were born to do? Of course not! That is where faith in God comes in. I thank God for giving me a purpose in life, and I thank God for protecting me and my family while I'm doing this work."

Discovering the True You & Your Full Potential
By Kimyon "The DIAMOND Coach" Zari
God has placed within us a power to change the world under His guidance as we gather information, formulate questions and discover the answers along the way. We can walk fearlessly under God's Master plan.
As we think about the many areas of our lives that cry out for attention, material things are usually not at the top of the list. Our incredible life lessons instead reveal to us how we can serve one another, and not merely show off.
God's love refocuses our thinking from how to WOW! I am on the path of LIFE! Now I see what I am supposed to do. I see how I must serve...

KARMA: The Universal Law of Justice
By Niedria Kenny
I'm being challenged personally in my life with how I will react to things that are going on. People who were once close to me and called me family are now playing the enemy to me.
Karma, in lay is the belief that all of your actions will have equal repercussions, affecting you. The basic theory is: 'cause and effect'.
Someone asked me what do you do when you try to be positive and the people around you are so negative... You have to continue to be that positive force hoping to change your surroundings...

Seeing the Rainbow While In the Storm
By Mavis Jackson
My attitude while in the storm will determine the results I get when I come out.
Sometimes God allows negatives to happens in order for us to appreciate the positive when it comes.
I remind myself of how blessed I am and stop adding up my problems and start counting my blessings!
If I can find nothing else to be grateful for, I just look around and see that I am still waking up on top of the dirt; and as one of my sons likes to point out, "everything else is negotiable"...

The Good of Gadhafi, Yes, the Good
By Jesse Muhammad
The media has a keen ability in making a good man look wicked and a wicked man look good. Sadly, most of us as American citizens readily embrace what we see and hear on television and on the Internet without doing further investigation. Some of us mock or tease others who jump on the bandwagon after a certain team wins a championship yet in our hypocrisy we allow this government's opinion of world leaders to give us our full perspective on them-even if it is outright lies. Therefore, we have continuously jumped on America's bandwagon. Sorry to disappoint you, but many of us can't go along with it. Never have, never will. There is a long list of good works that was done by Muammar Gadhafi that we have chosen to ignore and has been underreported. Yes, good works. According to this article, some of the good works of Gadhafi, not known by most, included: *Gadhafi nationalized Libya's oil reserves and used the oil revenue to build schools, hospitals and repair infrastructure for the Libyan people. *Money from Libya's oil revenue was directly deposited into the bank account of every Libyan. *He raised the life expectancy from 44 years to 75 years. *He raised the literacy rate from 20 percent to 83 percent. *All people in Libya had access to doctors, hospitals, clinics and medicines. And it was free! Read more HERE... |
