“Across the Waters”

I have to say, Haitians are some really strong, brave people. Now I know everyday
there are people traveling “Across the Waters”, but today, my heart
really went out to the boat full of Haitians who arrived on the shoreline of
Hallandale Beach. I was shocked to learn just how long they’re traveling
for freedom. They were crossing the waters for 22 DAYS! Surviving off of RAW
RICE! That’s struggle! We think we know but we really have no clue. To
top it off authorities are sending them back! Aye look, I know this happens
all the time, but can they at least stay for a little while? I mean gosh! Look
at what they had to go through just to get here! Keep ya’ head up!

Pastor preaches “Gay Acceptance”

Wow, over there in the ATL, churches are losing member’s of the church
because of “gay acceptance”. How did the controversy occur?? Well,
Rev. Dennis Meredith of Tabernacle Baptist Church began attracting gays to his
church since his “preaching acceptance of gay men.” Since then,
over the last three years, their Sunday attendance has gone from 1,100 to 800.
The statistics clearly show the decrease in membership…there are some
out there who seem to be in support with the Church’s acceptance…according
to Rev. Kenneth L. Samuel, “The church has come to a point when it has
to embrace all the people Jesus embraced, and it means the people in the margins.”
He continued to say, “It really bothered my congregation when I said that
as a people of color who have been ostracized, marginalized, how can we turn
around now and oppress other people.” He has a point (as most pastors
do). The way I see it, most thing that are in the bible are contradicted anyway,
so what’s the big deal??? If the gays want to get a “WORD”
then let just let them! They know they gotta keep that freaky stuff out of the
church.

Olivia Gets Dropped from G-Unit?

So yeah, there’s this little rumor going around about Olivia
being dropped from G-Unit. Let me say this first,
if she did it’s probable best for her. I mean let’s be for real…were
they really focusing on her projects like that anyway??? She’d be better
off on another label in my opinion. Anyways, I don’ know hoe reliable
this source is…I mean, it came for an “Official Fan Page”…so
hey, you never know. If you’re a “true” Olivia fan, you may
find it interesting; check it out here www.myspace.com/ 148119271
