Are you kidding me? All counts? All officers aqcuited of ALL charges?
This is stupendous. I firmly believe that the judge in this case is a part of some secret brotherhood.
I mean, not even one charge? When these police officers were in plain clothes?
Black people, wake up! You thought the brutality was just from white cops? The 3 cops in this case were black, hispanic and Cyrian-Middle Eastern. You need to walk upright. I'm not saying Bell deserved what happened to him, but if he wasn't at that club, he may be alive today.
God don't like ugly. These officers and this judge will pay with their souls.
God will recompense, Nicole.

Seventh Day Adventists and MySpace

In this age of social networking and online profiles, it's easy to get caught up in the negative stigma associated with online profiles, such as stalkers, harassment, online misuse and abuse of camera feed sharing, and the age old concern for teens and their online safety.

While these dangers are evident, we are to take what the bible says about being in the world but not of the world to the online atmosphere.
MySpace, and other social networking sites, while riddled with creeps is a wonderful method of ministering to other non Adventists and letting them know what we really are about... spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ to a lost and dying world.

Mistaken for years by other religions as a cult, Seventh Day Adventists have often been misunderstood. Especially in light of the negative attention that the David Koresh saga brought, we are often shunned or side glanced, ignored, or written off. It's human nature to remember negative things in spite of all the wonderful accomplishments that one may have attained. Keeping this in mind, Adventists can reap the benefits of social networking, while still a light in a dark world.

SDA Website Maker Software

Good News for Churches, Bad News for web development businesses? It all depends on how you look at it. I've personally seen where a church can be at the mercy of a webmaster. Lost number, moved, or just can't be found. Net Adventist puts the power of web development into the hands of the hands of the churches. A great example of viral marketing and brand awareness, Net Adventist is sure to bring more Adventist churches under one umbrella, and solve the problem of "getting with the times" for Adventist churches all around the world.

I'd rather have Jesus

Kirk Franklin's old song entitled "Silver and Gold" is a true God send. It is very uplifting and certainly STILL rings true today.
"I'd rather have Jesus than silver or gold"
Your cars, money, your riches and fame and fortune won't hold you in the midnight hour.It won;t wash you and make you clean. Your money did't sacrifice itself so you can live...So why then do so many of us sacrifice ourselves for the money...the silver and gold?

Forgiveness

Once again I attended Queens Light House, and once again, I was not dissappointed. the topic of the sermon was "forgiveness". Forgiveness is important for all of us to obtain from Chist and in turn give unto others. Many Adventists will be lost because of an unforgiving spirit. Sad. Maybe I'll record next week's sermon and post it. Stay tuned.

Black Women Excluding Black Men

After watching this, I'd have to say that I never really thought of this point of view ever. I think it's something to consider

Be Real

In the attempt to find happines. it is easy to become involved in the appearances.
Do not stay in a relationship because of fear of being alone.
Do not settle for anyone below your standards, because you think that he is the only option. And yes, the pickings are very slim for today's woman of color.
see video:




HOEVER, this is not to say that good quality men do not exist.
In everything, BE REAL, be yourself. Don't pretend to be anyone else but you.
Anything other that this is a form of lying. There is a difference between putting YOUR best foot forward, and someone else's.

Black Sisters Speak Candidly

Random Thoughts

Wow, well a few things happened over the past few days.

A Jamaican national was arrested for bomb materials possession.

I discovered a very creative and well put together network for Natural Business-Minded Sisters
like myself ;-) Natural Success Network (Thanks Wes!) The site founder is the well known author of Nappturosity

Mashable, a site that I've heard of before has some really great articles that anyone interested in the development of the social networking scene should take an interest in.
