"The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated"......

Gossip!!! ARRGGGHHH!! I will not name names as to who was "falsely accused" of dying. Look it up.
This has happened more times than I would like to acknowledge on the Internet.
"A gossip goes around telling secrets, but those who are trustworthy can keep a confidence." (NLT:Prov-11:13)
Every morning I try to read a little Bible and I also try and read what is hot on Google. Think about it.The two are centuries removed but some things never change. I found 16 different references to gossip in the Bible and 248,000 to gossip on Google search.  What is wrong with this picture??? I am sure if they had the Internet  back in Biblical days, there would be as many references as there are today. Pray that for all that is happening in the world right now, that we stop gossiping.  Let's, (including me!!), try to be more understanding of people's rights and quit trying to slander their good names all over the place. Scoop the story?  Is that really more important than hurting the loved ones surrounding the person who is being scooped? Think about it the next time someone wants to tell you some juicy GOSSIP!! May God Bless you on your decision.

Teena Marie a sad day for the world, a happy day for heaven......

I saw the story this morning.  She will be sorely missed by anyone interested in r&b who has heard her velvety voice.  But now she will be singing with a choir of angles. Alia Rose, mom is OK.  Always work hard and do your work knowing mom is watching you and make her proud!!! God please watch over Teena's family. We know she is fine but please give them strength to get through their days. "Congo Square" (album released in '09) was a compilation for all those who influenced her life. Coretta King (Dr. Martin Luther King's wife), Marvin Gaye and Curtiss Mayfield just to name a few. Those were some pretty heavy hitters.

JESUS Stats, Santa Stats, and Christian Stats...

WWW used to mean World Wide Wrestling... now obviously it is the World Wide Web.  Nowadays we have access to everything around the world right at our fingertips.  What does this have to do with Jesus, Santa and Christian statistics? Everything!! We can find out who is googling who in the world about what.  I didn't realize that the U.S. is the highest ranked Christian Community and Santa is huge in other parts of the world that I have never even heard of. WOW a real eye opener for me.  Anyway I am in that U.S. majority and personally, I love Jesus and we sang happy birthday to Him as we do every year before opening gifts.  The best part of our celebration is sharing good wishes with family and friends.  To all of you in my family out of state and to everyone I did not get cards out to this year again, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!
