Submission and Slavery

Submission

It’s listed in the Bible and used as one of the greatest weapons against women/ men/ and Christianity. Women say that men use the word to enslave them, men say women don’t do as the Bible commanded, and non-Christians say that word IS what keeps the poor and dispirited - poor and dispirited…

Tithing For a Husband....

I was watching BET's series The Game the other night...perhaps last week, when I noted a rather disturbing scene.

In it Melanie was writing her "weekly tithing wish" on the sizeable check that she was filling out to give to the Church that week. In her mind, if she tithed, and tithed big, then God would reward her with her wishes...like a Genie, or Santa.

I thouhgt it a sad scene until a friend of mine, *Kallie* related this story to me.

Is Being a Groupie bad???

On Valentine's Day I was looking up stats on this Blog and ran along this google search as being one that led someone to my site. I was saddened and then sightly bouyed by the fact that such searches even go on...because if there are those who are asking the question, then I definitely want to weigh in.

What is my Worth????

Now that I have entered a new phase of my life where I am actually seen as a viable part of society....as a woman...and not a girl...LOL, I have begun to wonder what it is that men see in me that makes them want to have me around.

Why You're Not Married Pt3

So here is my final part of this three part mini-series. And I think that it must be said that these are of course my own opinions based on the fact that for the last 25+ years I've been watching these very things keep women from getting what they believe they want or need most of all...a man/husband.

"I Don't Date Virgins....Part Deux"

Not too long ago....well maybe longer than that...I wrote a post on my personal thoughts about why I don't find it an insult when a man says "I don't date virgins", and now I've found a great article for anyone interested in the male POV on a closely related topic.

Happy New YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...Where's the Love?

So it's a New Year and tons of things have changed...and then again nothing has changed.

The SEC is still number one in College Football....but instead of Alabama, Auburn is #1

The Braves made the Playoffs, and lost in the first round...but coming up...no Bobby Cox

The Celtics are great and Shaq is on a playoff contending team....again

And just like clockwork race is still a factor in so many areas of our lives; sports, movies and dating.....as in Black women are still bitter about Black men choosing to date outside their race.

"I don't date Virgins" ...... :-)

The age old wisdom says that if a girl sleeps around, she's a slut, but that if a guy does so, he's an accomplished bachelor.
Newer wisdom has said that a girl who sleeps around is still a slut, but now a guy who does likewise is a manwhore.
So do men really prefer women who are considered sluts over virgins?....If they are a manwhore, yes.

But there are decent men out there who don't act like Britney off of Glee, they simply prefer a woman with experience...is that so bad?

Beauty and the Church

It's crazy, but I've been doing a Bible Study with a friend about Beauty and its merits, and it amazes me at how little this topic is actually talked about in Christian literature, outside the Bible that is. It's like those in the Christian world would rather not look at Beauty as being important in this world, because it cannot be quantified.
