Haiti

Nine months after a 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti, more than 3 million people are living life under tents. In January of this year, the United States and other countries raised more than 30 million dollars - separately. Regardless of these raised amounts, it seems as if there's no system in place to distribute these funds properly - and donations are still pouring in (including more tents).

It seems as if the real Haiti Tragedy resides in NOT being able to access and distribute donated funds.

Kim Kardashian

Do you recall the Kardashian staged bar fight that took place in New York City? Well, Kim Kardashian and her sister Khloe wore the same dress within the same week and this blog ran a story about it. Within the same month Kim decided to wear the dress again and one of her friends threw a drink on her - so the media wouldn't pick up on the issue.

Drama always pulls the attention away from the real issue and most of you actually focused on the bar fight and not the dress.

False Prophet: Bishop Eddie Long

"...We cannot control painful situations but we can control our response to it I've been accused, I am under attack. Like I said before, I'm not a perfect man. But this thing I'm gone fight. I feel like David against Goliath, and I got five rocks that I haven't thrown yet...” Quoting: Eddie Long

After reading through several articles related to the sex scandal that surrounds the bishop who sermons at New Birth "Missionary" church in Atlanta, Ga, thoughts and prayers are with the victims who had the courage and strength to stand for what is right and against what is wrong.

While browsing through the website, Pulpit Pimps, a post was discovered questioning the symbol that is displayed throughout Bishop Eddie Long's Church. To me, it seems as if this is a inverted symbol of poseidon's trident. To Melvin Jones, the symbolic meaning rest on a deeper level:



The "Bishop" Eddie Long has stated several times that, he's not perfect and also revealed that, "I got five rocks that I haven't thrown yet" - but - the bible verse actually states, "let he who is without sin, cast the first stone" -- now why is the Bishop holding five rocks?
