If only we as humans could find it in our heart to look past class and race and see each other as human beings. God made us all equal but mankind have divided us into groups and have created social status because although we are one some want feel more superior. My question is, in the final judgment will there be two heavens one for the ruling class and one for minorities. Will God look on us and select us based on the color of our skin. We all need to look inward to the man in the mirror and change our ways.

Relationships
One important aspect of a relationship is understanding that the other person’s happiness matters. When partners are selfish and care only about his or her happiness the relationship is bound to fail. The ones that make it are the ones where couples care about each other’s feelings.
Why Women Keep Silent
In many relationship a woman who is not being treated right may keep silent. It is not because she isn’t aware that things aren’t going the way she would like them to. She stays silent in order to keep the peace.
While it is good to be silent at times, silence should never become a way of life. By remaining silent a woman gradually loses her voice. Her authority becomes diminished and over time she may lose confidence in herself and in her ability to make the right decisions for her life.
In a relationship each person matters. Do not suffer in silence. Find your voice and speak your truth. Your voice matters.
An End to Silence
There is a new revolution, the silence has been broken, women are speaking out. Our voices are powerful. Already we are seeing results.
Let us do the same for domestic violence. End the silence, speak up. Don’t protect the image of your abuser; protect your life. Expose abusers, stand up and fight.
Domestic Violence Awareness
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Let’s get the conversation going.
An Open Letter to Men
From Women Against Domestic Violence
Dear Men:
It is with tears in our eyes and fear for our lives that we pen this note to you. Domestic violence has taken the lives of many of our sisters leaving many of our homes broken and our children motherless.
Men we need you to understand that we are not the enemy so stop treating us like one. We give to you our love, our passion, our understanding and compassion, we trust you with our lives and all we ask is that you reciprocate and treat us right. Don’t see our love for you as a weakness, don’t leave us with cuts and bruises, don’t crush out our joy and leave us broken.
Men you need to understand that love is not supposed to hurt. If your love is causing your woman hurt then it means that you are doing something wrong. Any boy can hurt a woman but it takes a man to make her happy. So the next time you raise your hand to hit a woman stop and ask yourself am I a boy or am I a man. Treat women with love and respect….Be A Man!

The Most Painful Thing…
Relationships are Important
Treat your relationship as if it is important. When you enter into a relationship and decide to share your life with another person it is a big thing.
Most of us when we are about to make an important decision like buying a house, a car, a piece of land or making an investment we do due diligence to make sure we are making the right choice and the right decision. Yet we trust our lives to others without giving it a care or thought. If you think deeply enough we can all agree that our lives are more important than material things.
Relationships are important. We must take the time to find out who we are getting involved with before we go in too deep.
Domestic Violence Awareness
October is Domestic Violence Awareness month. Let us take a moment to reflect on the women who have lost their lives to domestic violence. Most of us know at least one person who was a victim of domestic violence.
As I reflect, a former classmate immediately comes to mind. She was a sweet beautiful soul who lost her life in her early twenties. She was in a relationship and broke up with the guy. Her ex got back in contact with her and asked her to meet him to talk things over; they had a child together.
Naively she went with him to a hotel room where her forced her to drink poison and later checked out leaving her dead body behind. This promising young woman’s life ended before it even began. She was the last person I expected to die that way. Her ex was charged and convicted for her murder.
As you reflect think of anyone know who is presently in an abusive relationship and encourage them to seek help.
Abuse is not Okay
Do you love yourself enough to know that you deserve the best in life? Do you understand that it was never God’s will for you to live a life of sorrow. Don’t settle for heartache and try to convince yourself that it is okay. Don’t tell yourself that you are too weak to get out of the situation you are in. By the willpower of the strength God has placed in you rise up strong women break free from the bonds of domestic abuse. Love yourself enough to want better for your lives. If you love him… love yourself more.
Man Kills Daughter for Dating a Muslim
A few weeks ago an Israeli Christian reportedly stabbed his seventeen year old daughter to death because he did not approve of her relationship with a Muslim man. Henriette Karra was killed in her family home a day after her high school graduation.
Before her murder she had reportedly left the family home to after abuse and threats from her parents and stayed part-time with her boyfriend’s parents. Her family proceeded to use threats to get her back home. After a meeting with a social worker she returned home. She is said to have told a family member that she was ready to convert to Islam. On learning this information the father stabbed her to death. He was arrested.
The question one must ask is which is worse her dating a Muslim or he murdering her. The things people do simply boggles the mind.
