Rachel from the Bachelorette, so sad

I was forced to watch the first episode of this show and here are my thoughts.  Cornballs is all that came to mind.

I have a question, if this was the first season for a black contestant, why was it that, the only black men on the show carried the title of "cornball" except one.  Sorry, if throughout the show these guys personality changed, but I am going off of first impressions. Those were cornballs all except one guy. The End.

It is stupid to buy a BRand New Vehicle, EVER!!!

I had to do it!  Yes, I had to get rid of my truck note, It was killing my wealth.  According to Dave Ramsey, having a car note is the first thing that needs to go when trying to become debt free.  But, this was not an easy feat. I was $10,000 upside down on my truck note!  I prayed earnestly to God for a solid year asking God for the opportunity to get this money to pay off the difference. 

 

A bit of history, I got the truck the day before thanksgiving in 2015. Why I did that, I do not know. I was very impressed with my negotiating skills I suppose.  I had been wanting to get a Toyota tundra since 2008, and I felt as if the time for me to have my truck had come.  WRONG!  It is never the right time to get stuck in a high car note.  My note was $702/month and $200 insurance for a total of $902/month.  I can’t afford that, what was I thinking?  Every month Id watch Dave Ramsey and try to plan my budget.  I prayed with fervor that I could get the money to get out of this truck note. God finally answered my prayer!!!

The answer to my prayers came in the form of a Nursing strike in Minnesota!  Thank you, Minnesota; you have been good to me!  The money I made on that strike allowed me to get out of two financial holes I had dug myself in.  Both debts were $10,000 each.  Thank God for Minnesota! 

Fast forward to last week.  Well last week I wanted to sell my truck for the quote that was originally given. In June I was offered $30,000 for my truck, last week I was offered $27,000, 28,000, and finally 29,000. The $29,000 came from another Toyota dealer surprisingly!  A bit of advice, if you purchase a brand new truck, do not expect to sell it back for a good/righteous price. Everyone is out to make a dollar. Remember that! 

 

Don’t by items you can’t pay cash for!  I wish I had listen to my own advice. Im sad that I actually signed the lease and I am happy that God made a way out of it.  These days I am going to buy a bike first then I will buy a cheap vehicle for emergencies. If you don't have the cash to buy an item, don't buy the item!

Also, I tried to sell the truck on craigslist for an entire year. NO luck, only people trying to scheme you and hustle, “time wasters.”  I might do a youtube video on this one.  It feels so good to not have to come up with that car note money before the 9th of each month. I am very happy though!!!!!!!

Changing my life through Minimalism!

I would like to talk about how I plan on changing my life through minimalism. I can’t say that I am a true minimalist but I do subscribe to the philosophy. I love the fact that getting rid of clutter is a lifestyle. But, what I want to do is learn how I can apply the healthy eating to my life style and also decreasing debt. I will become accountable to my audience and post weekly or daily on my progress.  My goals are as follow:

 1. Continue to educate myself on minimalism, 2. Lose about 100LBs  3. Get out of debt.  I believe if I can achieve all these goals my quality of life will improve.  Debt causes one to work more hours than necessary.  And the eating out at fast food places is detrimental to the mind and body.  So if I have anyone that is interested in doing this with me let me know. I will let May 24, 2016 be my start day to achieve my goals.  I will post and be accountable daily if I can on my progress.

Jesus and Homo's

Would Jesus be friends with homosexuals? Would he attend they social get together/party? Would he openly defend them against the Sanhedrin council? Jesus did hang with zachias whom everybody hated, he was a known sinner; yet Jesus ate dinner at his crib. It appears our job is to be Godly men among men, and let God do the rest. 

I only wonder, because are we modern Christians the new Pharisees? They hated the adulteress sin so much that they wanted to stone her.  Would Jesus stand by the homo and be like, "let he who has not sinned cast the first stone?" I just want to know how Jesus would treat gays?

Remember the acronym "ASL"

Who knows what the acronym "asl" stands for?  I know people from the 90's who when the internet first started we used this in chat room sites. Back in those days when you got on a chat, it wasn't possible to know or see who you were talking to so the first thing you would do is type "asl." This stands for "Age,Sex and Location." That was just a brief history on the internet.  Welcome to Internet History 101.

It's All Spiritual

I now believe all things are spiritual, let me explain.  I have always known all things was spiritual but it didn’t dawn on me until today. Why is it that you will be presented with a temptation but it’s not the best of the temptations.  Let me be clearer. I like a BBW but, I also like a nice slender.  Years ago, I was tempted by a BBW and a nice slender. What I didn’t know back then was that this was not a sexual temptation, though I thought it was.  See, if it was a true sexual temptation, then the BBW and the nice slender would have been top notch beauties, but they were NOT! So, what type of temptation was it?  It was a temptation that would lead to emotional distress and spiritual bondage.

 

  The goal of the enemy was not sex, but emotional and mental bondage that these women would bring into my life. It is often more severe to receive a person’s spirit than it is to receive their disease.  One of the women dealt with depression and the other dealt with low self-esteem.  Before I met these two women, these emotions never crossed me. Thus, now I understand it’s all spiritual. The way you get a person’s spirit is through physical and emotional attachment, the act of opening up ones gates.  There is a perfect reason to AVOID fornicating with every female you meet. You don’t want to leave with her spiritual flaws/issues or vice versa for the women.
