  • Politics Is Like Hiring A Hitman
    by Scott Woods inPolitical on2020-08-13

    For me, politics is like hiring a hitman. I have values and things I care about. I care enough about them to at least bother voting for 5 minutes every year for one issue or another. And because I care at least that much, I vote for people who align with the ability to realize the things I care about.

  • Punching Above Our Weight
    by Roger Madison Jr. inPolitical on2020-07-24

    I believe our vote is the punctuation of our voice. Without that resounding exclamation mark, I believe our voices are just incoherent noise.

    by Roger Madison Jr. inOur Community on2019-10-28

    There are many narratives that define the Black experience in America in this 2nd decade of the 21st century. Our striving over the centuries of our sojourn in this nation is a tapestry of every human experience -- oppression, enslavement, forced assimilation, dehumanization, exclusion, segregation, isolation, struggle, perseverance, achievement, excellence, celebration, mourning, despair, progress, setbacks, lynching, assassination, genocide, terror, self-hatred, low esteem, pride,...

  • Fighting Racism
    by Scott Woods inOur Community on2018-10-25

    I had a boss who was racist. Not an outright bigot, of course; her toolbox was more subtle than most. We bumped heads a lot over inconsequential things. She frequently couldn’t keep my name out her mouth. Lot of gaslighting. You know…2018 style. I tried a lot of ways to combat or navigate her issues. None of them worked, and that’s saying a lot because I’m really good at fighting racism. But at the end of the day – every day – she was my boss, I had to deal with her, and that was that. Finally I...

WWW/Life Management/Christian Leadership


by angelawatkinsblog

Invest – Teach – Mentor: via of classes, study groups, or seminars.

 

Watch and Pray

 

Wolves in Sheep Clothing: Be sober minded/alert

 

Teach Biblical Truths: II Timothy 2:15; Deuteronomy 4:2, 12:32; Revelations 22:18,19

 

Now I must share that I have never attended Theology/Seminary School; so someone with greater insight may be able to expound further.

 

Jesus’s Ministry was about meeting the needs of people: healing, teaching, service, & preaching. (I am not a preacher nor evangelist)

 

God’s Plan For The Church – Matthew 16:18; I Corinthians 12:12-26; Colossians 1:15-29; Philippians 2:5

 

Success – Joshua 1:8

 

The Upright are Blessed & Prosperous —— Prosperity in Biz & Finance (success means different things to different individuals)

 

Matthew 5:45 – Works of God; God’s Providence Among Men; Sends God & Evil to Good & Bad Alike. God Attributes of God As Person, God’s Goodness

 

The WWW/Internet provides an avenue that might not be available in your city, state, and or home location for possible network opportunities …. now this is the reason why I went to the Internet in 2000 and have not looked back.

 

The Internet has given birth to a new Entrepreneurial Force on a Global Expansion that has and could be developing into greater ways for ministry as well as starting a home business and the growth of a home biz, possible job creation, and company growth for brick-and-mortar biz. (5/15/2000 Angela Watkins)

 

There is no excuse for no ministry, organization, biz, or individual not to have a social media presence or own a blog. Blogs and social media at this moment are free.

 

Use your time wisely on social media and creating/marketing your blogs.

 

Personally I have had a free website, writing profiles, domains, and blogs ever since I have been online. Don’t think I had lots of money for I did not. I did though use free resources in all my daily activities from my home. (At a later date I will share more on this subject)

 

Holy Spirit – Comforter, Guide, Help …… Galatians 5:16-17, 18-21, 22-26; Acts 9:17-18; Acts 8:29-38

 

We are not to boast/belittle but uplift the Church/Kingdom of God – Colossians 3:23

 

Leadership – Mark 10:42; Romans 12:6,8; I Peter 4:10; Deuteronomy 1:13

 

Kindness – Luke 10:30-35; Matthew 25:31-46; Romans 12:8; Galatians 5:22

 

Kindness knows no race, color, social background, but acts where there is a need. (This might be my gift … I don’t know what my gift is)

 

If someone does not receive you/me move on ………..

 

Life Management Skills: Study Groups, Classes, Seminars Ideas:

 

Domestic Violence/Abuse(mental, verbal, emotional)

 

Healthy Lifestyles

 

Caregivers

 

Women & children welfare & safety

 

Financial Management/Planning

 

Loneliness – singles, senior citizens, widows, divorced

 

Two Book I Reviewed could be great tools for Financial Management Tools:

 

January 2005 – The Debt Diet … An Easy To Follow Guide To Shed Debt & Spending by Ellie Kay (Ellie Kay is known as America’s Financial Expert) I might revisit this book and do an updated review

 

November/December 2012 – The Heart of Financial Matters by Eddie Hedges …. Mr. Hedges is a retired banker, CEO, President of 3 banks in Texas. This book shares on Biblical Principles not a get-rich-quick-book.
