I never would have imagined that a month before my father's birthday, he would pass away. Not only that, but the week of Father's Day. I got a telephone call. I was having lunch at work. When I heard the news, it felt like someone had ripped out my soul. My father was 54 years old. He died of a massive heart attack. I cried....
Health & Fitness > Therapy & Counseling Should there be a link between spirituality and psychiatry?: 7 of 39

As a mentally ill person, I believe that psychiatry and spirituality is the best method. I have been diagnosed with various mental illnesses. No two doctors view my illness in the same light. I was told by one doctor that I was schizophrenic. Later, while I was taking an anti-depressant, I was told that schizophrenia could n...
Politics, News & Issues > Natural Disasters Impressions of post-hurricane New Orleans: 1 of 4

I resided in the lower ninth ward before Hurricane Katrina. It truly devastated me to see the aftermath. The media tends to show visuals of a clean, nearly repaired city. National news often shows this visual. Sadly, even local news shows this image. Many areas in New Orleans are repaired. The area where I once resided is st...

I had my own personal issues with determining where to draw the line concerning finances. I have a child. I am a single mother. Therefore, it is difficult to take on jobs with excessive hours.

They often say, you get what you pay for. That is true to a certain extent. When you are shopping for hair care products, pay attention to the ingredients in the products.

Health & Fitness > Addiction Religion's role in addiction recovery: 9 of 27

Whether people know it or not, Alcoholics Anonymous was founded on Christian principles. There is a moment you have to admit that you are an addict or an alcoholic. You must also confess belief in a "higher power". My personal higher power was God. Not any God, but the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob. I attended A.A, and N....
Society & Lifestyle > African-American Issues African Americans: Shortening the gap between achieving and non-achieving: 1 of 3

So many African Americans are going to die waiting for their forty acres and a mule. Many believe they are owed something due to the unjust treatment of our ancestors during slavery. I did not have to suffer humiliation. I did not have to be separated from immediate family unwillingly. I did not have to toil in cotton fields...
Entertainment > Music Genres, Trends & Scenes Best love songs of all time: 7 of 20

The number one love song is "I Will Always Love You". I love Whitney Houston's rendition. However, Dolly Parton did a nice job with the song as well. I saw Whitney's video for the song the other day, and I was taken back. When the song was released, I was in junior high school. I had no clue of what love was. I had a very in...

There are many different doctrines. There are many different denominations. True Christians must be able to see beyond all the hype. My definition of Christian faith is this- Christ.
