Is homosexuality a sin?
May 4, 2012 / I THiNK, Lifestyle, Mind Food, Social Media, Water Cooler Talk
Is homosexuality a Sin? I may make some of my good Christian friends upset but here is my response. The real sin is how some Christians relate to the Gay community. When I tell someone they are sinners the first thing that happens is a wall goes up. The second thing that happens is we alienate a group of people who God loves. The problem with how many Christians is, they are only known for what they are against. They [...]

Wisdom from the streets, Part One
March 29, 2012 / Entertainment, Inspirational, Lifestyle, Water Cooler Talk
I think everyone has a saying or quote that means something to him or her. I remember my next door neighbor who was a professional boxer saying to me,” a quitter never wins and a winner never quits.” I was about seven years old and to this day it is one of my favorite sayings. So, with that in mind I thought we would start a segment called, “Wisdom From The Streets.” People picked at random who are willing to share a quote or saying that has meant something to them.
