Miss Jamaica World





I wrote on this topic before but I guess I will have to touch on it again. It's that time of year again when pageant talk is in the air and young Jamaican ladies are strutting their stuff to be selected to be the new miss Jamaica. As per usual, the photographs of the young ladies auditioning are posted on social media and the social media world voices their opinions. The same type of comments can be seen every single year. Young ladies are called ugly, fat or not Jamaican looking. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and once you put yourself out there you will get criticized. My main issue however, is when young ladies are told that they don't look Jamaican like. How exactly does a Jamaican look? Is our motto out of many one people not understood by those in our society? Then there are those who say that we have never had a black skin young lady represent our country and my view on that is that they are newcomers and don't really follow the pageants. 

My suggestion however to the organizers of the pageant is that they don't post pictures of the auditioning process but wait until they have already selected the main batch of girls. Yes, to be in a pageant like this you have to be brave but I still think they should be a bit more considering. As for those who make it their duty to attack our Jamaican young ladies please to ensure that you are without flaws. It doesn't matter what skin tone a young lady is if she is a Jamaican she has all right to represent our country. Whenever a light skin Jamaican woman does well on the international scene why is their never any call of concern we just jump up and praise them. Let us be real for a minute because right now our country doesn't need anymore divisions. Either you embrace those have decided to represent our country or you don't say anything because it's really not he easiest of steps to take.

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...
