I have to share this with you! I was on YouTube watching different clips and I came across this video of an older Oprah Winfrey show where KING JESUS was the HOT TOPIC! 

Well, during the show, they start out discussing about two forces, good and evil. After this point is made, Oprah moves toward the subject of different ways to get to heaven and states that "Jesus was not the only way". If you know what the Word of God says, then you know that Oprah is WRONG!

It is written: "Jesus answered, "I am the WAY and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."-John 14:6

Then, she tries to 'on the spot' come up with a possible option as to how someone may not hear about Jesus before leaving this Earth. Really Oprah? So, she states that "What if your somewhere on the planet and you never hear the name of Jesus and yet you live with a loving heart...you can not get to heaven, you think?" 

I LOVE how the lady in the audience stood on the WORD OF GOD! I got excited right there!! She responds to Oprah with the WORD!

It is written: "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the WHOLE WORLD as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come."-Matthew 24:14 NIV

If you believe the Word of God, shout YEAH! So, I want you to watch the video for yourself and leave a comment because I want to talk about this with you!


WORD of Encouragement, "Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand"-Ephesians 6:13 KJV

I was sitting here trying to think of what to write about today and I thought..."Why not share something with my readers before we start a long blogging journey ahead?" So, here you have it...5 things I LOVE! 

I figure I could open up a little more so that you could get to know me better! Pretty cool huh? I think so. So here you have it:

5 Things I LOVE~

1. I LOVE sports! 

I'm very athletic and love to play sometimes too. My favorite sport to play is basketball AND I'm very competitive...which means I DON'T LIKE TO LOSE! Lol. However, I'll take a lost if we as a team tried our best! Oh and I'm a Kevin Durant fan! Go OKC!

2. I LOVE old jazz! 

Yes...I love the old jazz music. Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Charlie Parker, Duke, Satchmo (Louis Armstrong), Sarah Vaughn, Pearl Bailey, Count Basie, Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra, etc. The list goes on and on!! I think these people really created smooth unique music! I started scatting from listening to Ella!! I also love live jazz music! 

3. I LOVE outdoor stuff!

I love outdoor stuff. Camping, fishing, paddle boating, canoeing, archery, zip lining, etc. Now for fishing, I WILL NOT put the bait on the hook nor take the fish off the hook. LOL! You guessed right, I'm a pull and reel in girl! LOL. For camping, I have to have a tent. I can not do the open air camping with just a sleeping bag!! NOT COOL! 

4. I LOVE dancing! 

I enjoy dancing and I must say, I'm very good at it! I enjoy Salsa dancing so when Zumba came out...that was right up my alley! I was thinking that the game wasn't ready for me! LOL. Well, you guessed right again, I was WRONG! That game will wear you OUT! And that's what it did to me, so I stopped playing it...but, I'll probably play it again someday!

5. I LOVE Martin!

Ok, do you remember the sitcom Martin? Well, that is my FAVORITE sitcom of all time! I think Martin Lawrence is one of the funniest people to ever create a sitcom. I mean, literally, the entire cast was hilarious! From Miss Jerry to Shawn down at the radio station. These people were a combination out of this world! So, you know that I had to buy the DVD series when it came out right? OF COURSE!! 

So, there you have it...5 things that I LOVE! There is more of course, but I figure that I start small and as we grow together through this blog, we can learn more about each other. Leave a comment and share some things you LOVE! I'd love to hear from you. Thanks for reading!

WORD of encouragement-"16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven."-Matthew 5:16

I want to encourage you today to Hold On! I know that things can get rough and tough but know that GOD is going to strengthen you in the midst of it. Galatians 6:9 tells us to "Be not weary in well doing, for in due season, you SHALL reap if you faint not." What is this telling us? This is telling us not to give up before we get what is due to us. 

Would you believe me if I said you are almost there? You can't afford to faint right now...not RIGHT now! The race is on and the finish line is in your view...keep moving forward. You're going to be alright after while!! You are going to overcome, but in order to get what is promised to you, you have to HOLD ON!
