Men and Natural hair

There is always the debate of whether or not men like natural hair and what to do if your man doesn't like your hair. I found this video and I loved it. I never saw a man know so much about natural hair. If this man can know so much, any man can. I really would love my man to understand everything about my hair so I won't feel weird rocking my twist when I am about to go to bed (looking like medusa lol). So for all the ladies out there, who are scared to go natural or to do the big chop because of what their boyfriend/husband might think, this video is a must-watch.




I especially like when he said he likes 4a hair texture :D
Enjoy

Gift Idea #1: Video Cards

So that special someone's birthday is coming up and you're strapped for cash and you're running out of ideas...no worries Omosexi is here lol 

Video cards have been making a wave lately. Instead of buying a card from the store, get friends and family members of the "special person" to record themselves saying HAPPY BIRTHDAY/CONGRATULATIONS, or what so have you. 

Not only is this idea cheap (maximum $5 spent, and that's just for buying the blank DVDs), but it also shows the person that you spent time and energy thinking of something to give them. Plus it's a neat way of getting everyone "together" without the hassle of coordinating with schedules

From a personal testimony, I know it is great. I created a video for one of my friends for his birthday a while back, and I know he loved it. 

Remember: It's not the gift that counts, but the thought behind it. You don't need to get something expensive to show someone you care. Simplicity is the best! 

Love,
Omosexi

Speechless

Satan called a worldwide convention of demons.
In his opening address he said:

"We can't keep Christians from going to church."
"We can't keep them from reading their Bibles and knowing the truth...."
"We can't even keep them from forming an intimate relationship with

Their SAVIOR."

"Once they gain that connection with JESUS, our power over them is

Broken."

"So let them go to their churches; let them have their covered dish dinners,

BUT steal their time, so they don't have time to develop a relationship

With JESUS CHRIST.."

"This is what I want you to do," said the devil:
"Distract them from gaining hold of their SAVIOR and maintaining that

Vital connection throughout their day!"

"How shall we do this?" his demons shouted.
"Keep them busy in the non-essentials of life and invent innumerable

Schemes to occupy their minds," he answered......

"Tempt them to spend, spend, spend, and borrow, borrow, borrow."
"Persuade the wives to go to work for long hours and the husbands to work

6-7 days each week, 10-12 hours a day, so they can afford their empty

Lifestyles."

"Keep them from spending time with their children."
"As their families fragment, soon, their homes will offer no escape from

The pressures of work!"

"Over-stimulate their minds so that they cannot hear that still, small voice."
"Entice them to play the radio or I-Pod whenever they drive." To

Keep the TV, DVDs, CDs and their PCs going constantly in their home and see

To it that every store and restaurant in the world plays non-biblical music

Constantly."

"This will jam their minds and break that union with CHRIST."
"Fill the coffee tables with magazines and newspapers."
"Pound their minds with the news 24 hours a day."
"Invade their driving moments with billboards."
"Flood their mailboxes with junk mail, mail order catalogs, sweepstakes, and

Every kind of newsletter and promotional offering free products, services

And false hopes."

"Keep skinny, beautiful models on the magazines and TV so their husbands

Will believe that outward beauty is what's important, and they'll

Become dissatisfied with their wives. "

"Keep the wives too tired to love their husbands at night."
"Give them headaches too! "
"If they don't give their husbands the love they need, they will begin to

Look elsewhere."

"That will fragment their families quickly!"
"Give them Santa Claus to distract them from teaching their children the

Real meaning of Christmas."

"Give them an Easter bunny so they won't talk about HIS resurrection

And power over sin and death..."

"Even in their recreation, let them be excessive."
"Have them return from their recreation exhausted."
"Keep them too busy to go out in nature and reflect on GOD'S creation.

Send them to amusement parks, sporting events, plays, concerts, and movies

Instead."

"Keep them busy, busy, busy!"
"And when they meet for spiritual fellowship, involve them in gossip and

Small talk so that they leave with troubled consciences."

"Crowd their lives with so many good causes they have no time to seek

Power from JESUS."

"Soon they will be working in their own strength, sacrificing their health

And family for the good of the cause."

"It will work!"
"It will work!"
It was quite a plan!
The demons went eagerly to their assignments causing Christians everywhere 

To get busier & more rushed, going here & there.

Having little time for their GOD or their families.
Having no time to tell others about the power of JESUS to change lives.


I guess the question is, has the devil been successful in his schemes?
You be the judge!!!!!
Does "BUSY" mean: B-eing U-nder S-atan's Y-oke?

Outrageously..[Pause]..WRONG

I've really tried to stay away from blogging, but I couldn't help it. I've found so many interesting things that I need to share with you guys. So, I'm back :D

The title says it all, but let me tell you the story behind it. While studying in the library my friend showed me a picture from a tumblr that she followed. Upon seeing it, I was immediately outraged!!


How dare someone print a t-shirt like this?!?! Isn't it bad enough that every time you turn on the TV there are tons of Feed the Children ads, with African children with bellies the size of a mountain and bodies as skinny as sticks. Isn't it bad enough that every time you mention Africa, people automatically think starvation, hunger, poverty  destruction, corruption, sadness, pity, disease, uncivilized, etc. Why and how dare someone print a shirt that stated that...I'm telling you, I was beyond #blown....

But...then I PAUSED....and looked at the back of the shirt, and I realized I was so mistakenly wrong. How dare I begin to think that others can only print bad acronyms of Africa. 


This T-shirt is so true, and I definitely went out and ordered one, because I was in love. Africa is DONE Suffering. Hadn't we had enough. And from the pictures below, you can tell that we no longer want to suffer, but we choose to live and enjoy. (Some might even say that we are enjoying more than Westerners)

Do these pictures look like the same pictures you see on Feed the Children and books about Africa? NO, they aren't. These pictures DO NOT look like Africa is suffering at all. To me, it looks like Africans have discovered how to SIMPLY enjoy life.

Definitely visit the tumblr and see more pictures and support by buying a T-shirt

No Longer Suffering,

You will Marry ME

Yes, you will marry me!! lol. I found this cute little video that I just had to share with everyone. Although amusing and adorable, it does beg the question "Are guys raised to fear marriage?" I've been wondering that for a while now, and this video definitely peaked my curiosity. I mean if they were raised to fear marriage, it would answer a lot of questions (Why do guys wait until their late 20s early 30s before considering marriage? Why are men so afraid of committed relationships? etc.) 

Anyways, hopefully I'm not overgeneralizing the male population. Anyways, back to my Contracts reading.

Have a Blessed Sunday,
Omosexi
