Double Standards

I'm starting to get annoyed with females that say.."How come it's o.k that a man could sleep around with a whole bunch of females and he is celebrated for it, but if a woman sleeps with a whole bunch of men, she is considered a whore.

Think about it, it's how society perceive women and men to be.
To a females advantage, an image of a real woman is to be PURE, have morals, have self respect, and so on.
Society perceives men to be horny, macho, man whores, and so on.

Why would a woman have the audacity to complain that it is not fair that men could get away with things such as sleeping around.

Are women not happy that society makes them be the better half of a relationship, the backbone of a marriage, the glue that holds a family together… let alone that society looks at women as more moralistic than men???

Do they really have the nerve to say that it is not fair that men could sleep around but when in a group of females, they will gossip that "Brenda" is a whore because she sucked off the whole crew and let a group of 5 men run a train on her?

It is really stupid and it is not fair to say that a woman cannot commit an act but then judge a woman for doing that act.

There's a saying that says, "behind a great man, is a greater woman"…

So females should be proud to be women, and men should be proud to be men, because as much as society makes me to be less moralistic, I am proud that I am not as bad as society makes me to be and therefore, it makes me feel like a true man because I go beyond the standards of a man according to society.

SHUT UP !!!

The devil is good at observing you but does not have the power to read minds. So why say out loud what your weaknesses are, it being women or men or even money. He will use the exact same weaknesses you say you have out of your own mouth to bring you down and try to keep you down.

Haters also do not have the power to read minds.. but once you say out loud what your goals are, they will hate on you and make up the stupidest lies and rumors to make sure that you don't accomplish those goals..

So sometimes it's better to SHUT UP!!!

Not everybody needs to know your goals, everybody has goals but not everybody has accomplishments. Let your accomplishments speak for you because accomplishments are done because of actions and goals are just words..and actions speak louder than words.

Not every is trustworthy, but be grateful for those who are.

Complaining about little things...

We have all done it, complain when something bad happens to us… "WHY ME!!!!! ???"
Blah Blah Blah.. nobody likes a whiner , lol, just kidding...
Have you ever thought to yourself? Is this happening for a reason? And most likely, it is happening for a reason.

I've never been a person to complain about stuff especially after one crazy moment. Let's just say I was supposed to go to a place where I wasn't supposed to be going and doing stuff I wasn't supposed to be going. Deep inside I had a bad feeling, so I backed down. Later on I get a call from my friends and they told me something really bad happened and they are glad I didn't go because they barely escaped out of a bad situation. I immediately realized.."JUST BECAUSE IT DIDN'T HAPPEN, IT DOESN'T MEAN IT COULD'VE NOT HAPPENED"

When ever I give advice to my friends, that question comes up and I ask them, "If it didn't happen to you, would you be complaining right now?" The answers are usually, "of course not"…So I ask them afterwards, "if it didn't happen, would you be appreciating the fact that it didn't happen??? The answer vary with that,lol

In a world with many ways to die, we are literally living each single day by the grace of the BIG GUY upstairs. I've had many near death experiences and I KNOW I could've been dead a long time ago. But God knows I thank him most of the mornings for granting and blessing me with another day of life, I could do it everyday, but sometimes I wake up late, but even if that happens..for now on, I'll thank HIM first.

2012.. Here I come!!!!

     2011 was a pretty decent year for me. It wasn't the best but it sure wasn't the worse.
2011 was a great year to me because I spent a lot of time with my family and built respect back with my brothers and show them a good example of being of age to go drink and party but choose not to because I had important responsibilities in the morning.

     Other than that, I tried NOT to do the same things that I did in 2010. I did so much this year that I never thought I would ever do…BUT I DID IT =)
It is such a great feeling to know that I'm not falling into dealing life as a conformist, but rather wanting to break that and go above and beyond of what I thought I possibly could do. I also reconciled with God this year and that was the best thing I could've done.

     Therefore, in 2012, I will try my best to do way more photoshoots, travel to places I've never been before to capture great shots. Make the most money I can possibly make so I can pay for school in the summer and fall semester and most importantly, grow spiritually and get baptized by the summer.

     Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year !!!

This is a really touching and inspirational skit.. kinda brings you to tears.

Fighting Back

I am really getting tired of seeing pictures of Jesus portrayed in pornographic pictures lately on FB. It gets me really mad especially because nothing I say will make these pictures go away, so why not fight back and put up inspirational pics of Jesus =) anybody is more than welcome to join me if you guys want. In a way it's like fighting back ;)

Suicide

Having somebody close to you being killed (homicide) really hurts. Most cases, nobody knows when they are going to die but in some few cases, people plan their own deaths and take action upon them to kill themselves and this is called suicide.

People usually commit suicide when they feel that life is not worth living anymore. 

This feeling of ending the life of your own can be caused by many things including

• any kind of abuse including sexual, drugs, alcohol, etc…
• stress and/or overwhelming depression 
• bullies at school or at work or even on the streets
• no self love

They believe that they can't take it no more therefore they decide to end their suffering but little do they know because their minds are being clouded by evil is that an immense suffering is awaiting them if they do decide to end their lives.

Here comes the TRUTH !!!! 

Suicide is a one way ticket to HELL !!! and the main reason is because Satan is a murderer and a father of lies as it says in John 8:44

Here's what people may think before they commit suicide, "I don't want to live anymore, my life is not worth all this suffering".

Then they commit the act of suicide and because of that are committing the act of not honoring the SIXTH COMMANDMENT "Thou shall not KILL". Once you kill yourself, you cannot ask for God's forgiveness because it is already too late. You are also rejecting the fact that Jesus died for you so you shall be saved.

Imagine how long you have lived up to this point of your life, whether you are a reader that is in your teens, 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's or even 60's.

In comparison, the time we spend here on Earth is nothing but a quick blink of an eye to the infinite lifetime of where we are going to spend out eternal life.

Seriously imagine being engulfed in flames for a few seconds… now minutes…now days, 1 year, 5 years, 10 years, 100 years, 1,000 years, 100,000 years…

When I say eternal life, that means infinite lifetime, there is no limit of how long you are going to burn, that is forever for billions and trillions of years and even after those billions of years, there is no ending after that.

Luckily for you and for the person who is thinking about committing suicide. Jesus died for our sins and through accepting Him as our personal savior we can spend eternity in heaven.

Here's what Jesus said about the devil in John 10:10.."The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full" 

If you know anybody that is going through hard times, pray for them and tell them to pray to God because just as God said in Matthew 11:28… "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened , and I will give you rest"

Why give up on yourself when you have God that never gave up on you before even after all your mistakes, so if you know somebody that is going through hard times and is thinking about suicide, talk to them tell them life is worth living and direct them to a pastor so they can pray for him and her.

Special thanks to J.R =)
