Females vs Males in Sports

Another sponsor for the Reggae Boys that's not a surprise. Everyone is aware of the Jamaica cricket team and their accolades but how many Jamaicans are aware of the accomplishments of the netball team, the football team or even or cricket team. For the every improving netball team its always comes as a shock to me to know that they have to come together and put on fund raisers to gain the money they need to compete. I believe that sponsorship from the government should be given to teams based on how they perform not based on how popular they are to the majority of the population. There are so many talented females who are doing just as good or even better than some males. If you haven't noticed women are no longer restricted in any area of life. While watching sports recently I saw a female boxer quite accomplished but as you can see I'm not even aware of her name and I'm sure many others aren't even aware of who I'm talking about.The government continues to push for improvements in our country yet we play the favourite card and propel males forward while females have to work ten times harder to come to the fore front. Even with our female track stars they are recognized but they aren't the ones who are approached first to represent a company or to headline an event. Not to speak negatively of the Reggae boys but I believe too much importance and finance is being placed on them while other sports not just those dominated by females are left to make their own way out yet the government is the first on hand at the airport to shake hands and place a kiss on their cheeks. Why say that Jamaica is making strides when the government is only steering the capital in the direction of the fancied areas of sports.

Church ministry without God

Have you ever been to a church service and when the singers are singing you feel nothing? You can hear the words coming out of their mouths but they have no conviction whatsoever? Music is one of the most important parts of church ministry and if God isn't in it, it shouldn't be called Gospel music to begin with. Some singers in church sing for self! They know they are blessed with beautiful voices so they use the church to showcase it but it isn't about ministry. It is simply to let people know what they have going on. They stand before you and they have blank expressions on their faces, while they sing such powerful lyrics. They aren't moved by it but they somehow expect that the congregation will be. The next issue is that of the modern day Gospel music. Call me old fashion but it isn't my flavour at all. Why should I have to be wondering whether I'm listening to Gospel or I'm at a dancehall event? Why does the church have to change itself to resemb...

Be more thankful

It's so easy for us to complain it's like we do it everyday. Are we more thankful for the blessings we have no matter how small they seem? It seems to me that more than ever people are more ungrateful than they are grateful. No matter how bad things are always remember that they could be much worse. Our house isn't big so we complain rather than be thankful that we have a house. Our pay cheque is small so we complain rather than be thankful that we have a job. Our skin isn't flawless so we complain instead of be thankful that we still have our skin to protect our bodies. Our body isn't sculpted perfectly so we complain instead of being thankful that all our body parts are still functioning. Our world is very ungrateful and we can never seem to be satisfied no matter how many blessings we have. This week I ask of you to be thankful for something everyday no matter how small it may seem.

This World

A world where people don't love you if you can't supply them with all the material things they need. A world where people marry just to get citizenship in a country. A world where the most educated aren't the ones given the best of jobs. A world where the television and internet are left to teach our children values. A world where the leaders of the church spend more money on church buildings tha n feeding the poor. A world where children receive guns before they receive a book to read. A world where in one half of the world people fight for an apple to eat while in the other we pick,choose and refuse what to eat. A world where we cry when we have no new clothes or shoes but some have never felt the warmth of a shirt and pants on their cold flesh. A world where politicians get increases in pay while the citizens are placed on wage freeze for years. A world where everybody proclaims they can't trust anybody. A world where girls value are always occupied with their look...
