God bless this beautiful qentleman. ... and I'm sure blessings will continue to shine down on him. Too many people are directed by the "Popular" crowd today and thev don't take time to check fact fiction. The media doesn't help one bit either. It's not about Liberals or Conservatives. It's about standing up on our own two feet & expressing what we honestly feel AFTER taking the time to look at facts presented from any SIDES involved. One side only checked on is not a "whole" picture. How can there be with only HALF of information Observe too- both sides; their lanquage, behavior, demeanor, respect and demands on each controversial issue. THEN one wil be able to make an Honest and Informed Decision based on what THEY are looking for, instead of the " popular crowd". In other words... Lets Get Back to our America of old.. being honest & forthright The man in an outstanding example of his decision: it wasn't skin color but it was ashining and glowing example of a sincere & caring heart. He saw an overqrown lawn; this woman told him to return in a week since money was low at the moment. He came back later same day & she went out to tell him to stop because she couldn't pay him. He wasn't back because he misunderstood her. He came because his way of living pulled on his heartstrings. He was concerned for the woman's kids safety He didn't want them getting bite by snakes that may be in the tall qrass. magine that! Here's a sincere, caring man who was concerned about the safety of a stranger's kids. Did they look like they were in danger? No they didn't; they were playing & having fun! He didn't look at their color. He looked at their SAFETY: not their COLOR at all. Do you see and understand what assumptions can create if we don't observe with a clear and honest mindset? So, those of us who may be guilty in habit of "following the crowd ", take a moment andtry to change your mindset. Thinking differently, or openly, can sometimes allow US to "see" a different thing

Ecclesiastes 12:1-3 NIV 1 Remember vour Creator in the davs of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say, "I find no pleasure in them"- [2] before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars grow dark, and the clouds return after the rain; [3] when the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men stoop, when the grinders cease because they are few, and those looking through the windows grow dim; This passage continues to remind all of us that the dav will come when we will have trouble seeing, hearing, eating and getting around. This tells us how important it is ta learn about God early in life. Studies have shown that those who come to faith early ir life, even if they walk away for a while, will return to God. Often this happens after they have children of their own, or when they experience a tragedy and it turns theirhearts back to God Reading this reminded me of a book I once read. 1 am an avid - some might say obsessive - knitter. I learned to knit as a child and have used this skill to make clothina for my familv as well as to earn a little money for my craft. This book was on the history of knittina in the United States. In it, it spoke of the need to teach children when they were young ana they were required to finish at least 3 or 4 rounds on their stockings before they could play. Learning young was considered important so that thev could continue to knit and contribute to the family when they grew old and had trouble seeing. If learning to knit was considered important to a person and that person's family, then consider how much more important it is to have God in our lives. God's presence brings the warmth of his love, protection from evil and the promise of everlasting ioy when this life comes to an end. What better reasons for faith are there?

April 26, 1970 - Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins Was Born Tionne Watkins. known to the world as T-Boz. was born in Des Moines, lowa. As one third of TLC, alongside Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes and Rozonda "Chilli'" Thomas, she helped shape one of the most important gir groups of the 1990s T-Boz had a voice people recognized instantly: low, smoky, calm, and cool without trying too hard. She did not sound like everyone else, and that became part of TLC's power. At a time when many female groups were expected to fit a certain mold, TLC brought something different. They plended R&B, pop, hip-hop style, bold fashion, and messages that actually meant something. With songs like "Creep," "Waterfalls," "No Scrubs," and "Unpretty," TLC gave fansmusic they could dance to, cry to, and think about. They spoke on self-worth, health relationships, beauty standards, and the pressure women face, all while making hits that became part of music history April 26 also carries a deeper meaning for ongtime TLC fans. Lisa "Left Eye' Lopes passed away on April 25, 2002, just one day before T-Boz's birthdav. So this date sits between celebration and remembrance, honoring T-Boz's life while also remembering the sisterhood, loss, and egacy connected to TLC T-Boz's iourney is also one of survival. She faced serious health struggles, industry pressure, public grief, and the weight of continuing after losing a group member and friend. Still, her voice and presence remain part of a legacy that has never faded TLC was not just a girl group. They were a cultural moment. And T-Boz was the voice that made that moment unforgettable. #TBoz #TLC #MusicHistory #RnBHistory #History

Outspoken

I want to vent a little bit about a certain restaurant that I love! I won’t mention the name , but this is oh so wrong! After receiving my hotcakes/ sausage breakfast from drive-through, I politely asked for napkins. The response was rude and abrupt. “ We don’t have any !” Her demeanor was that of an opponent waiting to do battle! 😳I laughed within myself, thinking that she likely had had an earlier verbal altercation. Maybe. I was still polite and kind, responding “ thank you ! With a smile on my face. In actuality, I’m thinking; “ what in the hell ?”How can you serve breakfast foods to the public with no napkins? 😬With this being said, I have noted that there is a lot of violence erupting between these fast food restaurants and their customers. Let’s do everything in our power to serve the customers efficiently and effectively! And let us as customers maintain our self-control when we feel enraged! What would you have said? 🤷🏾‍♀️

If you or someone you know is taking any blood pressure (BP) medications or any medications that can affect your BP, you must learn how to take your BP at home or have someone taking & keeping an eye on your numbers. Take the BP shortly before taking the medication and if possible, about 1 to 2hrs after. Keep a chart of date, time, BP numbers & heart rate. Take this with you the next time you go see the prescribing Provider. They will use that record to determine whether you are taking too much or too little of your medication(s) i.e. they will evaluate the effectiveness. You & your Provider will then determine which BP & HR #s they'll like for you to have. A spot visit in your Dr's office doesn't tell your Provider the whole story. The goal of managing your BP is to prevent a stroke or sudden cardiac arrest. Failure to effectively manage your BP can lead to these complications. Take action while you can by doing your part.
