No Kindness for Nadya Suleman

Octomom Nadya Suleman

Octomom needlessly overexposed...

I didn’t want to write this post.  And so, I’ll be brief.  I kept quiet when Suze Orman and Oprah Winfrey on the Oprah Winfrey Show seemed to have more genuine interest in the length of Nadya Suleman’s eyelashes than the welfare of her children.  I’m sure that Oprah in one of her famous acts of benevolence offered her golden help and the Octomom in her agitated state of mind, batted her lashes, and enthusiastically, but foolishly declined.  What’s more aggravating—and what I cannot keep quiet about—is that, for some reason, Oprah and Dr. Phil seem to think that there is some high honor in announcing to America:

“The Octomom did not get paid to do my show.”

Idle Mind

You can take the low road or climb to the mountaintop.

Outside is pretty, too bright for eyes. Shine, sharp as a knife. The first time, by accident, mind absently thinking.

Wearing Your Heart on Your Sleeve

King David, the Bible says, edified himself when he was being chased by the enemy or when strife stirred in his home.  Edify means to uplift the soul spiritually or morally.  And, of course, King David used God’s words to do so.

Deuteronomy 11:18 of the Cambridge Edition of the King James Bible states:

Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.

God’s Word (1995) translation of Deuteronomy 11:18  makes the meaning of that scripture clear:

Allah Who?

Radical Islam comes with a cloud of black smoke.

Followers of Allah, coming in a cloud of black smoke, bringing misery and death.

As a born-again Christian who serves the one true God, who is Almighty, Omniscient, Omnipotent, and Omnipresent, for the life of me, I cannot understand why Muslims go buck-wild whenever miscellaneous individuals insult their god.  Wif crazed protesters foamin’ at the mouf.  With fire.  Violence.  Murder.

A lot of unnecessary discourse was trending around the web about the hairdo musical stylist Jill Scott is rockin’ for the October issue of Essence Magazine.  Or, so I thought.  There may actually be more to the story.  I just happened to be in a certain store today.  When I saw the Essence cover, I must admit that how Jill’s hair was coiffed never even crossed my mind.  I hardly noticed her hair at all.  Frankly, I assumed it was pulled back in a pony.  This is the cover you may see on the web:

Chad Ochocinco has a new tattoo of guess who?

Chad Ochocinco is a mad man on a mission.

… get a tattoo of Evelyn Lozada!  I stand corrected.  Some people just may need mental health counseling more than they need Jesus!  Would someone please kindly explain to this poor misguided manchild that the final curtain has dropped and the act is over.  Where’s Rihanna when I need her?  Dude, “take a bow” already.

First Lady Wows at DNC

Michelle Obama wows at the Democratic National Convention.

First lady Michelle Obama delivers a winning speech in a Tracy Reese dress.

First lady Michelle Obama’s speech was a riveting tear-jerker (for those of us who are not robots)!

It was a speech honoring the hope of mothers and fathers; the strivings of the human spirit; sacrifices at home and abroad; a speech in support of simple human rights such as healthcare, education, and liberty for all; and of American pride.

President Barack Obama must be as proud of his wife as his beautiful daughters–and all of the U.S.A.  “How hard you work,” Michelle Obama said, “is more important than how much you make.”
