A Human Partnership for Epic Change
Ever since I was young and told my parents my dreams about Africa, I have always had a special place in my heart for that continent. Like Paul the apostle whose heart was for the salvation of the Jews but whose calling was to the salvation of all, I often feel that I have been placed too far away from Africa to actually make an impact.
Of course, the Internet bridges the location gap through a...

Leaving aside the differences between how blacks relate to Puerto-Ricans in the Bronx, versus how they relate to Cuban-Americans in Florida, it is borderline delusional to pretend that some beef between some folks in L.A is the equivalent of Martin Luther King. Or even Rodney King. It isn’t. And the fact that we can’t tell the difference is still haunting us.

I was just telling someone this is one of the few things that makes me angry. Like brings out righteous rolling...
Unposted Comments: Love
But love? Love is greater than all of this. Love is bigger than our everyday grudges against people who have hurt us or people who continue to hurt themselves and others. Love is giving. Love is an unconditional force that can uphold unlimited, unending, unimaginable sacrifice. Our world dies for lack of knowledge of this Love. Every single soul on this earth cries out for this Love but...

but idk where to start.. any suggestions??
Start at why? For the fashion? For the statement? For health reasons? This will help when times get tough and you’re craving a double cheeseburger dripping with special sauce.

Thanks to the people who are copy/pasting photos without credit from here and Sweet Home Style.
That’s real cute.
It is. But you don’t put the source of the photos in your posts, and you want people to credit you for posting them. Unless you took them yourself, then I’ve just put my foot in my mouth.

My weekends are generally spent in a recurring cycle of inebriation, recrimination, and suicidal ideation.
