Saturn Jamaica Commercial

    All publicity isn't good publicity. Echoes rang out from Hanover to Portland about the recent commercial from Saturn. Couple weeks ago we were being praised for how happy and patriotic Jamaicans can be and ministers were honoured by the advertisement. Today, a new picture is being painted but to my surprise some Jamaicans see nothing wrong with this commercial, proud Jamaicans aren't they? When citizens can sit down and believe that the commercial is a good thing it leaves me to wonder how proud we are of the black,green and gold  of our nation. Then again I'm really not that shocked by the words of those who see nothing wrong with the commercial because some of us treat our flag with little or no respect so hey it really isn't no big deal if another country does the same thing.
   Its not even about comparing how America would react in this situation because quite frankly I'm tired of the comparisons. We area country set apart so why should we fall in line an accept any and everything that is thrown at us. Are we so desperate for a little attention that any attention will do? Come on disrespect is disrespect no matter where its is coming from.
     We will continue to remain the way we are because once again we have lost our voice because we tremble when the bigger countries speak.Then you have those who will say that everything some of us find fault with,you may look at it that way but I see it as looking beyond the obvious because clearly majority of Jamaicans just love a little laughter and a little excitement and greater thought isn't given to anything. The commercial indeed showcased a bit of our culture but we are better off without it what they showcased has been showcased in much more respectable manner by others and we can show the world we are on our own. Stop being silly and looking at the bigger picture we are small yes but small minds can do great things therefore stop letting other people take us for idiots.

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...
