The obsession with Celebrities




   So today, I was just scrolling through my facebook feed and it hit me that most of the talk of the day was centered around the lives of celebrities. Do some of us even form our own opinions or we just simply go with whatever celebrities promote? Perhaps many of you are not aware of the fact that these celebrities have no idea who you are not do they care about your opinions. Then there are some individuals who will sit and write paragraphs under celebrities photographers proclaim get their love for them or telling them how to live there lives. The time you spend pouring out your heart to some of these celebrities you could be using to help improve your very own life. I am not saying that it's wrong to have role models or see someone who you would like to emulate but for heavens sake can you try and look up to someone who is adding some form of substance to this world. The world has enough women with the perfect bodies and the perfect skin, what the world needs is women who have a voice that will promote some form of change that the world so desperately needs. 
  So many of us know the entire life stories of these individuals more than we do of the people who have actually contributed to the freedom that we enjoy today. This is black history month or so they proclaim. How many of you have stopped to reflect on the culture of the black race? Instead we are consumed with the sexuals lifestyles of these celebrities. At the end of the day these celebrities will jump in their nice comfortable beds and reflect in their lives while you are reflecting on their lives. Can you imagine how much good could be achieved if the time you spent on these celebrities was spent on your very own development? You are the ones who are making these people feel as if the world is centered around the because the more you promote them the more of a celebrity they become and in the end that's only just more of a benefit to them while you cry when your high internet bill comes at the end of the month.

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.

The Jamaica of tomorrow

When shall the change come? Crime and violence ago continue and mash up Jamdung? Street lights come on at night and our window lids we shut tight tight No kids on the street, no time to meet and greet Why can't we no longer walk at nights? Why we don't have no peace? Police men guard the streets  Kids run quickly pass them not sure if they police or just undercover gunman and thief Thousands complete their university education but student loan awaits them in every gleaner publication Jamaica is such a beautiful nation, nice food and nuff happiness and sweet jubilation Wait a moment and turn the  TV off the international station Turn the dial to our local station No more happiness and sweet jubilation Blood flowing in the streets of poverty and ever increasing destruction You have the answers? Tell us how we need a change in politics Five years time and we still have the same corruption  You tell me to smile because better must come I ...
