"You Made a Fool of Me..."
I must have been a fool to doubt myself. Got me looking at myself sideways like there was something wrong with me. PSHHH! I almost and I repeat ALMOST forgot how fly I was. Yeah, I was literally acting a fool. Falling back into my old ways? NO SIRRY! You can bet that never have to sweat that! Can’t have that happen. I’ve come too far. Oh, this isn’t a time for humility....

Notes from my Theology of Prayer class By Pastor Eli Lopez
Our Father
The very first connection with God is about relationship, intimacy, closeness
It declares how special we are in relation to the God to whom we are praying
In Heaven,
We are praying to a God who is above all…

"I Think I Better Leave Right Now..."
I would really love to be what you want. The female with the petite body and pretty face. You know her, she’s the one all of the guys like automatically. But in all honesty I know that I can’t be that person. She just isn’t me. It doesn’t matter how much I wish that she was me i’m still the same Tee. I sense that you can’t take me the way I am. Don’t feel...

I can either give in or continue my journey with a hop in my step and a smile in my heart.
One of Life's Truths...
You can’t love somebody to your fullest capacity until you love yourself just as much.

"Just One of Those Days..."
I’m not perfect. I don’t pretend to be perfect. I couldn’t even if I wanted to. On most days I’m simply trying to make it. Trying to find peace. Balance. Harmony. I question my life and ask “Why” much too often. Sometimes when I sit and reflect I feel that I am going against society, mainstream media, the world. But when I try to “fit in” I reject my...

thelifeandtimesofdontaemarxs:
So, in the downstairs common room of my dorm there’s a piano. For any one, any time. I’ve always wanted to learn to play an instrument, but never had the time, instrument or teacher/lesson/class/whatever you want to call it. BUT, there’s this thing right, called the internet, and I can pretty much…

Mad to Love: A Guide to Dating and Being Treated... →
corycopeland:
Believe it or not, I’m asked for dating advice almost on a daily basis. And even more shocking, most of these calls for advice come from young ladies (I know…I’m as shocked as you are). With this in mind, and because my Guide to Treating Women Right for Today’s Modern Male was so well received,…
Dreams Money Can Buy...
I’m in one of those moods tonight. I don’t feel like typing. It’s not personal enough for what’s inside of me right now. Give me a pen and paper because I feel like writing.

Galatians 5:22-24
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passion and desires.”

To Take a Life...
Mercy and compassion are two traits that the most almighty, GOD, displays on a continuous basis to everybody regardless of if you believe in this supernatural being or not. To think that us sinners are not willing to bestow these two vital traits to inmate, Troy Davis, is pitiful and immoral. Who are we to judge who lives or dies? To my belief their is only ONE who is great enough to make that...
Glimpse Into the Future...
The movie “Love Jones” is not a perfect portrayal of how I envision my future life to be, but it captures two extremely important aspects. These aspects being black culture and black love. POSITIVE black culture and love. Poetry, art, and intellectual conversations with a group of people you love and trust. What better way is there to spend your weekends? All in all this movie touched...

Life Is What You Make It...
…and I’m going to make mine a lovely, exciting adventure. Filled to the brim with love, peace, happiness, and sucess. ”Adios” to the past hindering my future. ”Ciao” to all my insecurities limiting my actions. Baby, i’m young, black, talented, and blessed. What else do i need? (Rhetorical Question.)
This Moment in Life...
How many times have I heard from my elders, “Patience is a virtue”? Oh, how true that statement is. For me, patience is in short supply. Being impatient leads to laziness and from there I give up. Not this time though. This time I am in too deep and there is no looking back. Today I thought it’s never going to get easier so I might as well do it now. The problem with me is that I...
