The blind,deaf and dumb leaders of Jamaica





   Firstly, let me point out that I am in no way making a mockery of the blind, deaf and dumb community of Jamaica. What I am strongly addressing at the moment is the state of  present day Jamaica and how I currently feel about those who I have to depend on to make the best decisions for us the people. Our leaders do listen to the people but only when election time is approaching, when election comes and goes they become blinded to the tears of the people.
  Have you ever stop to look at the posture of the leaders of other countries when they sit to discuss the affairs if their nation? They are upright, they are bold and confident. Take a look at the leaders of our country when they are making decisions,they argue about whose parts compared to whose parts, they sleep, they chew bubble gum they are as far as possible from the idea of professionalism. I will forever remember when the Prime minister  stated that she doesn't watch the news because she doesn't want to hear what they are saying about her. Simply put, she blocks out the perfect outlet to hear the concerns of her people, she remains deaf to the cries of the country.

   Our prime minister is known to be the lover of the poor people. Based on how I see she behaves towards the people I think the word love has lost all meaning. When you love someone you do what you can to ensure that their best interest is your number one concern and you communicate with the people. Kissing children and dancing on stagein front   of a selected few is not reaching out to the people it's just gaining political points.
   My recommendations are that our aging leaders step down and give the young people an opportunity to show what they can do. Our leaders need to learn how to communicate with the people. Let us know what is going on and what we can expect,show some form of interest in the people who put you in the positions you are currently fighting over.

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...
