My Wish for Jamaica

Firstly, what a blessing it is to live in a country where we still are afforded many privileges. When I look around I don't have to look far to find something to smile about in Jamaica on the other hand however I don't have to look far either to find something to be sad about. The source of a Jamaica's many problems stems from selfishness. Selfishness from politicians,children,old people,teachers,pastors,selfishness can be found all over the island. When I enter a taxi I always pause to say good morning or good afternoon and am often met with strange stares as if I have done something wrong. People have sent me messages saying I bash my nation too much,really? Even when I address the negativity I always highlight the positivity. I want a change in my nation therefore I will make known the wrongs that I see taking place.

Parents, the bible speaks to training up a child well when he is young and when he is old he will not depart from it yes that is true.But honestly I have seen many parents who have instilled the best values in their children and they have deviated from that path. Before we jump up ready to blame parents for the wrongs we see on a daily basis by young men and women in society you should take a
look at the mindset of the child themselves.

Politicians, when you realize that it takes more than just a 500 or 1000 to bring a change to a community or a once a year visit to remind people that you represent them. Investments need to be made all across Jamaica people need something to do and yes opportunities are around and some refuse to grasp them but that's ok let them be we can't force everyone to want to make a difference in their lives.

Children,are so quick to become adults these days but then again what can we expect when parents put false hair in their children hair,place makeup on their faces, put them in high heels and buy them the most expensive gadgets. Don't use your child as an accessory to show off to your friends them turn around later on and complain that your child is too materialistic and have no manners.

Jamaica can be changed I believe it with all my heart but selfishness needs to leave the hearts of men

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...
