On my 3rd wedding anniversary to my first husband, we didn't do anything. I was pregnant and we had a 2 year old, so we ordered a pizza and stayed home. He said "We'll do it big next year." He died two days later. I always do things big now. You may not get another chance.
Seriously why y’all birthdays mean so much to y’all? I don’t get it! Is it because when y’all was supposed to celebrate them in early years of your life your parents didn’t and now you gotta go all out every year to make up for that Shìt?
Many people are missing the point with Christianity. Jesus never forced people to follow him, or pray with him, or serve him. He gently bid them to come. He didn’t become the president and force people to follow his way.
Covid was an opportunity to reimagine everything, but people just want to go back to the same antiquated practices that were making everyone miserable and unhealthy to begin with. Don't talk to me about "holy imagination" when you can't even reimagine the workplace.
I really like that

suggests that places we deem safe spaces for Black people are not indeed safe spaces. They are constantly infiltrated and under surveillance. That's a word.
As a Black girl growing up in the 80s and 90s, there were ZERO Disney characters who even slightly resembled me, and yet, the cartoon "The Little Mermaid" is my favorite Disney princess film. If millions of Black kids had to watch and accept being LEFT OUT, why can't you?
@MrAndyNgo
As a redhead I loved Ariel growing up. She was always my favorite. I am sad they changed my childhood favorite princess because of the new woke religion. In the grand scheme of things that Disney is doing that is morally wrong, this doesn’t even hit the list. I am still sad about…

You really thought this was a flex huh? I’m praying for you. Someone can have $100 and not have $2,000 for rent. I hope your tenant knows their rights during this pandemic.
It is very toxic to believe that you cannot vent to God. Venting, crying, shaking my fists in the air, screaming to God and having God respond to me with peace and love washing over me is how I made it through my 1st husband’s death. It’s how my faith was strengthened.
@MollyJongFast
Has she been drinking? Why do people use the argument all THE time “My closest friends are...” So what! I have folks who MARRIED into my family and they’re still racist and ignorant.
When I was a young woman working at a megachurch, I answered the pastor's calls during my honeymoon. After my husband died and I told the pastor I would never get that time back, he said "That was your choice." I will NEVER let a job take time from my family again.
How can Christians say in one breath “We’re not under the law. We’re under grace” and then work their hardest to make sure the rest of us are bound by their religious laws through public office?
My late husband was a musician and minister of music. My daughter (7) who never got to meet her biological father because he died 2 months before she was born just asked me if “praise and worship songs could be written by her.” Her latest song is “The Lord is in Me.” Amazing. 😭
This is my first husband. He died at 28. He would have been 38 years old today. I think about the man he would've become. I still think about him a lot. I wonder if he can see us. I see his face every day in our daughter's face. I wonder if he's proud of me.
@Eatmorefruitz
You must think we are really simple. Despite his preferences, sins, shortcomings, etc., an innocent man was shot 20 TIMES and murdered in his own backyard by the police. This is WRONG and they should not get away with murder.
@tiersaj
I have a son and this makes me extremely angry. They also need to study how constant surveillance creates a HOSTILE learning environment which leads to “self fulfilling” prophecy situations. I’m equipping my baby to WIN.
Today’s my 2nd wedding anniversary. Although our entire marriage has been during a pandemic, and it’s been extremely triggering for me as a former widow, God has been good. I selfishly pray that God will shield us and allow us to experience many more years.
Help me celebrate my husband for his birthday. He's a great husband and father. He married me as a widow with two babies, and he does his best for all of us! I always say I can't tag him because his account is a burner account and I can't out him. 🤣🤣🤣😂
Racist and corrupt corporations and politicians always go to the Black Church to do their dirty work and get their foot in the door. Don't trust them. Stay away from Wells Fargo.

Today is anniversary of my first marriage. If my husband would have lived, we would have been married 11 years. I was so happy this day. I just knew we’d live a charmed life. Who knew three years later, 2 days after our third anniversary he’d be gone. He’s never far from my mind.
Remember Christian Cooper? Central Park Karen tried to tell 911 he was threatening her when all he was doing was birdwatching. Karen lost her job and Christian got a new job. He'll be the host for National Geographic's new show "Extraordinary Birder".

I’m glad you have a welcoming community but we can’t ignore the DR’s history of extreme racism and genocide towards Haitians and those who look African.

It means you're doing the most over a cartoon. You're a whole grown woman. You had representation as a child. Thank God and move on.
My son is 10. I have 7-8 years left to try to teach him how to safely navigate things like traffic stops with racist cops. It doesn’t feel like enough time. God, please be merciful.
It’s time for the church to hold these “prophets” accountable. You should not be allowed to falsely prophesy 35 times before the church recognizes you are not hearing from God.
My 1st husband died in a seizure in his sleep. The residual grief manifests in me needing to check on and kiss my kids multiple times after their bedtime before I go to bed.

Since there is this whole conversation happening about HBCUs, I'll share another story about Howard Divinity. One semester I didn't have the money to sign up for classes because my financial aid package hadn't come in, and my associate dean paid my tuition with his own $.

The pandemic has revealed how much American individualism and culture is killing us. We were never meant live in individual kingdoms. God intended for us to live in community. Hearing and caring about how our actions impact our neighbors.
Kyle Rittenhouse is getting off. They’re going to paint him as a young, passionate, patriot who was sick and tired of the negroes burning down cities and complaining just like they are tired of the negroes being ungrateful.
Now, we have to watch them pontificate about helping mothers, daddies, and babies. How long have you had to do that? They can’t even address the abuses that happen in their churches. They can’t even protect women and girls in their congregations.
@ijessicagreene
As a married woman, race has nothing to do with a successful marriage. Culture, values, maturity, shared interests, mutual respect make for good marriages.
We don't need context to know you put a 13 year old CHILD in handcuffs and all he was doing was taking out the trash. You could tell from his small, thin stature and clothes he wasn't armed. You're racist and incompetent.
