Donald Trump Rhetoric

Donald_TrumpDonald Trump rhetoric of Anti anyone who is not American is getting media backlash. His recent comments about banning all Muslims from coming to America is the latest to stir controversy. Donald Trump loves controversy. He feeds on it. He lights the fire, stirs the pot and watch it boil over with indifference.
Trump is feeding on the fears of a nation on edge and apprehensive about terrorist attacks. Based on their fears people are gravitating towards Trump thinking he can keep us safe. However the path he is taking will only create more enemies and plunge us into war. A loud mouth and bullying tactics is not the answer.

Gun Control

Another mass shooting and the debate continues about gun control. There are those who are adamant that there is no need for stricter gun laws. Some are quick to point out that the states that have little or no gun laws do not have much shootings. Few give thought to the fact that it is these states that allow people who shouldn’t own a gun the ability to do so.
Maybe my viewpoint stems from the fact that as a little girl in rural Jamaica in our district no one owned a gun and gun crime was unheard of. Times have changed and it’s not the same anymore. The ease at which guns are available in the US has cause our Caribbean countries to be flooded with guns.
Anyone who believes that we we can stem gun violence and mass shooting by allowing everyone to bear arms is misguided. Weapons of destruction has never and will never bring peace.

Inspirational Words

Dedicated to those who are grieving and those who survived the California Shootings


Be still my soul, know He is there

To comfort you in deep despair

The depths of it…the numbness, loss,

Shall draw you closer to His cross

Be still and trust! The deepest gloom

Can lead you to that quiet room

Where, Him with sweet communion share

An inner peace…your soul repair.

Be still and know His way is best;

You will be strengthened through this test.

There are no losses without gain

And joy restored shall follow pain

Be still, that through you He may shine,

Thereby another path define;

For in this know the victory;

The sting is quenched and you are free.

Inspirational Words

Sometimes we must walk in valleys
Before we reach the peak
And we often think of self alone
Before it’s God we seek.
The stumbling blocks are many
As along life’s path we trod
But we can have a secure haven
In the arms of our living God.
How can we face the vast unknown
And the nights that are dark and long?
Without our God beside us
I’m sure things would go wrong.
Some days are bleak and dreary
And there is no sun to shine
But know that God still abides
Within your heart and mine.
No soul so ill, He cannot heal,
He can wash it white as snow.
If we make Him Master of our lives
Then His love in us will glow.
(Shirley H.Powell)

Inspirational Words

An Attitude of Love

Life presents us with challenges that we must overcome

And sometimes all the detours can leave the senses numb.

Life is filled with stumbling blocks we pass along the way,

But it can become a stepping stone when love comes into play.

Whenever there’s an obstacle that we must rise above,

It helps to overcome it with an attitude of love.

For anger never solves a thing and stress will bring us down

But love unlocks the doorway where hope and faith are found.

So many things divide us throughout the human race,

But love’s the great uniter, the smile on mankind’s face!

Life presents us with challenges that we must rise above,

And blessed is he who can maintain an attitude of love.

We must be extra vigilant, keep our eyes and ears open and avoid phone distraction. Let us all play our part in keeping our selves safe and have a happy Thanksgiving.

Glamour Women of the Year Award

So much has been going on lately that this sort of drifted onto the back burner but I cannot help but comment on it. I found it ironic that Caitlyn Jenner -someone who lived for 65 years as a man and less than a year as a woman was given a Glamour Woman of the Year Award. Can’t say I am shocked as hypocrisy has become an acceptable part of society and you can get an award because of you social status undeserving though you are. It is a damn shame and an insult to women and anyone who says Caitlyn Jenner deserve this award is delusional, perhaps lying to themselves or perhaps just trying to be political correct – saying the right thing so no one gets upset. For all who are afraid to say it, let me say it for you…Jenner did not deserve that award!

No Honor in Being a Murderer

The worst kind of evil is the kind in which people are willing to sacrifice their lives in order to kill others. There is nothing heroic about killing defenseless, unharmed people. It is like stabbing someone in the back and only cowards do that. They probably have been brainwashed to believe they are martyrs. Maybe they think they will be rewarded for their troubles in another life. They think they have won but all they have done is book their tickets to hell and they will not escape the judgment. Mankind think they are powerful but God has the final word.
