FLOTUS Michelle Obama - ....and let her works praise her in the city gates. Proverbs 31

OUR FIRST LADY  A CLASSIC MODEL

Michelle opposite of Michael meaning of names; Archangel which means the chief of the angels. Michael has an important meaning as well, it means: (one) who is like God.

The First African American President and First Black American First Lady & daughters Sasha and Malia during the first Presidential Inauguration 2009

This is on the heels of what was too magnificient for words but I'll give it my best. 

In honor of Our First Lady Michelle - to all the Michelle's wherever you are no matter who you are She represents all ....

Women as a shining example of a Virtuous Woman. I love appreciate history and anything Classic like music, the arts, antique cars and antiques they are so lovely to admire. Then we spend a small fortune on them to preserve and keep them nice for all to admire and say "wow you're classey, great taste," well growing up as a young girl I used to hear Big Mama say "only thoroughbreds win the race", and I would be bewildered. She meant as women the only success stories are the not the well read, but the well bred, what you're fed. (experience, strength, wisdom, and hope)

Women have alot of demands these days and because of our need to be all places and all things to others I' being one of the many "Classic Models still hangin around, check out some of the groups you'll find many Classic's in the tradition of "Big Mama" but snazzier than ever. We are built to last Ladies. So in order for us to remain strong we need to honor that which is inate in each of us the gift to do all things........when you know where you get your strength.

In my eyes she distinguishes herself among the most admired First Lady's in the country's history i.e., Jacqueline Kennedy, Nancy Regan, Hillary Clinton, and even Martha Washington. She equals her husbands strength with all the same elegance and grace. She's a woman with lots of titles; mother,  corporate attorney, daughter, sister. Now First Lady Michelle Obama should be heralded among thee greatest women who the Prophets wrote about their contributions to family, society, and overall Charity(Love). We also have to pray for our new First Lady that she can be strength for her husband in ways we might not even be able to imagine.. Truly illustrating that she is his helpmate and backbone.

 As I watched them on television dancing to At Last and Beyonce' serenade it was breathtaking and enchanting at the same time.

I salute you Mrs. Obama you are truly a lady. And your daughters were little ladies and reflected your influence on clearly a family that prays together grows together and can also represent a great nation.


Whose purpose is as The Wife of Noble Character _ Virtuous Woman as defined in Proverbs? Can you identify. 

Personally I admire the fact she has brought her Mother, Mrs. Robinson to assist keep her and the family grounded on levels  we don't understand we all could use someone like (Naomi) advised Ruth for the kind of encouragement only we as woman know about.  A mixture of tough love with tenderness and care. Not in unhealthy ways but like the mother eagle who often has to toss and save her young while teaching them how to use their own wings to fly solo.

 Indulge me sisters in spirit as I send compliments to all women who might be entrepreneur's, and homemakers who actually have to manage their family day to day operation for some do live in large family estates. They face challenges too even if they have means in other areas and are often women in leadership positions as First Lady's of Presidents of Nations or Huge Congregations, CEO's wives. Woman often take for granted they also have more demands, expectations of their time. To much is given, much is required... We embrace all women with/without stature our goal is to achieve success ultimately

Give her credit for what she has accomplished, working with Dr. Jill Biden to serve Military Families all over this Nation.  


I will keep this nation and our First Family in my prayers and will be in service whenever I can. Women that Build Women-Up is a blueprint of many Great Women who to me stand up with wisdom like Ruth and as Naomi she incorporates strengh from outside her traditional family circle sharing and embracing another attitude towards sacrifice learns to be groomed by Naomi how to walk into her promise Boaz. Caring enough to reach out by offering our own experience and testimony. 

PRAISES TO GOD for  all of the "Virtuous Women"

Every RUTH should have a NAOMI
15 “Look,” said Naomi, “your sister-in-law is going back to her people and her gods. Go back with her.” 16 But Ruth replied, “Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay.  18 When Naomi realized that Ruth was determined to go with her, she stopped urging her.

The Virtuous Woman - Proverbs 31...And let her works praise her in the city gates.

31:10 Who can find a wife of noble character?

For her value is far more than rubies.

31:11 The heart of her husband has confidence in her,

and he has no lack of gain.

31:12 She brings him good and not evil

all the days of her life.

31:13 She obtains wool and flax,

and she is pleased to work with her hands.

31:14 She is like the merchant ships;

she brings her food from afar.

31:15 She also gets up while it is still night,

and provides food for her household and a portion to her female servants.

31:16 She considersa field and buys it;

from her own income she plants a vineyard.

31:17 She begins her work vigorously,

and she strengthens her arms.

31:18 She knows that her merchandise is good,

and her lamp does not go out in the night.

31:19 Her hands take hold of the distaff,

and her hands grasp the spindle.

31:20 She extends her hand to the poor,

and reaches out her hand to the needy.

31:21 She is not afraid of the snow for her household,

for all of her household are clothed with scarlet.

31:22 She makes for herself coverlets;

her clothing is fine linen and purple.

31:23 Her husband is well-known in the city gate

when he sits with the elders of the land.

31:24 She makes linen garments and sells them,

and supplies the merchants with sashes.

31:25 She is clothed with strength and honor,

and she can laugh at the time to come.

31:26 She opens her mouth with wisdom,

and loving instruction is on her tongue.

31:27 She watches over the ways of her household,

and does not eat the bread of idleness.

31:28 Her children rise up and call her blessed,

her husband also praises her:

31:29 “Many daughters have done valiantly,

but you surpass them all!”

31:30 Charm is deceitful and beauty is fleeting,

but a woman who fears the Lord will be praised.

31:31 Give her credit for what she has accomplished,

and let her works praise her in the city gates.

NEW JACK CITY - TRUMPISM Money, MONEY $ Politics = Autocracy

"Yeah, we takin' over the Carter. We gon' bum rush the whole damn thing. Now if the tenants cooperate, oh, it'll be lovely. They'll be loyal customers, if not, f*** it, it'll be like in Beirut, they'll be live-in hostages."  Nino Brown

Updated - Original Post 4/8/11, 8:45 AMEastern Standard Time

I feel as though my voice is being drowned out everyday I'm yelling at the top of my lungs but nobody's home, they can't hear me..... This economy is slowly building and the horrors of this world keep on raging against us collectively! Compromise is courageous way of doing business but hardliners know to remain rigid would amount to a level of stiffnecks being stubborn and watch us all be destroyed. All of the disasters in this world, why cut EPA now after the worse oil spill in the gulf, and Katrina. How does that make sense, and when Aids is highest our Nations' Capitol worst than in Africa, you wanna eliminate funding for Planned Parenthood?

Remember all you great religious warriors of the story that was told "The children of Israel roamed the desert for 40yrs, and the old generation never got to see the land of milk and honey..." Well, this is a moral issue now because those sanctimonius few whose main objective is money. Lets be frank the Tea Party members most consist of upper middle class americans or evangelicals whose belief in tithes and making it the good old fashioned way produces jobs and charity to the overall community. It's the Mayberry syndrome. Aunt Bee and Opy the lemonade stand hire Otis to bring the lemons.

Nino Brown as portrayed in the film New Jack City fictional but sometimes mirrors life when applied said it best - I'm not guilty. "You're the one that's guilty. The lawmakers, the politicians, the Colombian drug lords, all you who lobby against making drugs legal. Just like you did with alcohol during the prohibition. You're the one who's guilty. I mean, c'mon, let's kick the ballistics here: Ain't no Uzi's made in Harlem. Not one of us in here owns a poppy field. This thing is bigger than Nino Brown. This is big business. This is the American way."

They don't want to or care to know what it's like to depend on bi-weekly pay check that is taxed to death to pay mortgages back interest, car payments, student loans, then inflation on necessary items food, drinks, and gas. If the government shuts down these are the people who suffer the most because of their grand gestures. They exist in every state in the United States of America and we need government to help them when they are facing crisis right here at home. We can stand to cut our budgets in many areas and most of us feel lets start across the water in other foreign lands bring our troops back home from many distant shores where we have succeeded already in bringing democracy and peace. So they can help rebuild the country creating jobs for them when they come home to get us off of dependance on oil finding jobs that our servicemen can rely on to feel honored for their service not shuttin down so their families are left to struggle. Such Nonsense.

THE TRUE MEANING OF LOVE - GOD BLESS THE CHILD

GOD BLESS THE CHILD THAT'S GOT IT'S OWN

 (LOVE)

Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

- Corinthians 13:4-7

This is a description of Agape Love. It is described as being patient, kind, truthful, unselfish, trusting, believing, hopeful, and enduring. It is not jealous, boastful, arrogant, rude, selfish, or angry. True love never fails. The description perfectly fits God's love toward us, and should be the way we love each other and God. However, I have never met any person who perfectly fulfills this biblical definition of love. The Bible says that this unconditional love is more important than everything else (a partial list includes oratory ability, prophecy, knowledge, faith, philanthropy and hope). All of these things, which are "good" things, will pass away. Only love is eternal, since love will be the basis of eternal life. In fact, when Jesus was asked what the greatest commandment was,

Jesus said, "YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND." (Matthew 22:37)10 He then added that the second most important law was "YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." Jesus said that the entire law was dependent upon these two commandments

The most famous biblical chapter on love is from 1 Corinthians:

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. (1 Corinthians 13:1-13)



This message was directed to Christians of that time teaching them how to achieve true greatness, inspiring others along the way to do the same..... timeless

Ride Like the Wind Ecclesiates 1 feat Christopher Cross

Spoken Words from King Solomon

Ecclesiates 1 1-18

Introduction: Utter Futility

1

The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.

2Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.

3What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?

4One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.

5The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.

6The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits.

7All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.

8All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.

9The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

10Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.

11There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance ofthings that are to come with those that shall come after.

12I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.

13And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.

14I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.

15That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.

16I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem: yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.

17And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.

18For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.

Eccles. 1:2 vanity of vanities! All is vanity. This important thematic word occurs frequently throughout the book. As the book progresses, its meaning becomes clear (see Introduction: Key Themes).

Eccles. 1:3 What does man gain? This repeated question (3:9; 5:15; compare 2:11) comes out of the Preacher’s realization that “all is vanity.” If life frequently makes no sense and pleasures and achievements are fleeting, is there any significance to human existence?

Eccles. 1:4–2:26 First Catalog of “Vanities.” The Preacher gives specific examples to prove his belief that all is “vanity.”

Eccles. 1:11 There is no remembrance of former things, nor . . . of later things. The writer-Preacher believes that few people have any significant impact on the course of world history (see esv footnote).

Eccles. 1:13 unhappy business. For some reason unknown to the Preacher, God ordains that mankind should endure painful experiences in this present fallen world. The phrase under heaven is interchangeable with “under the sun” (v. 14, etc.).

Eccles. 1:14 The Preacher examined everything under the sun. However, he is unable to understand it all. He concludes that everything is vanity and a striving after wind.

Eccles. 1:15 Crooked here means “unknowable.” There will always be aspects of life in a fallen world that remain mysterious.

Eccles. 1:16 surpassing all who were over Jerusalem before me. If anyone possessed the wisdom to grasp the meaning of life, it was the Preacher.

Eccles. 1:17 As part of his quest to know wisdom, the Preacher also seeks to understand madness and folly. Apparently he believes that he can better understand wisdom if he also understands its opposite.

Eccles. 1:18 Wisdom is a mixed blessing. In the process of gaining wisdom one also gains a clearer view into the tragedies of life.

BOTTOM LINE =========

Ecclesiates 2 24-26 Enjoy Work and its Benefits

2:24 There is nothing better for people than to eat and drink,

and to find enjoyment in their work.

I also perceived that this ability to find enjoyment comes from God.

2:25 For no one can eat and drink

or experience joy apart from him.

2:26 For to the one who pleases him,God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy,

but to the sinner, he gives the task of amassing wealth –

only to give it to the one who pleases God.

This task of the wicked is Vanity – like chasing the wind!

Now if King Solomon had enough wealth, knowledge, humility to admit this why can't you? For this is the day that the LORD has made and I shall be glad and rejoice in it! This is the cure for all that stressing you out. Read the entire book it's soothing coming from a guy who had 900 + women, servants, slaves, he said we all end up at the same place.

Desirada

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly, and listen to others, even the dull and ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are the vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter, for their will always be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass. Take kindly in the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars. You are needed in this world. Do not concern yourself with other worlds, for they do not exist. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding in an ordered manner.

Therefore, be at peace with nature and the mysterious process of evolution, whatever you conceive it to be; and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, strive to maintian your own inner peace while you do those things bring you happiness and contribute to the survival of humanity.

With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world

YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH, (explicit) *featuring Summertime SydneyBechet on sax

Lets Be Honest..You can't handle the truth!

Jack Nicholson (Col. Jessup): You fuckin' people. You have no idea how to defend a nation. All you did was weaken a country today, Kaffee. That's all you did. You put people's lives in danger. Sweet dreams, son.  

Taken from Hollywood

A FEW GOOD MEN famous quote; Jack Nicholson portrayed (Col. Jessup): Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg? I have more responsibility here than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago, and you curse the marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And that my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. I know deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you don't want me on that wall, you need me on that wall. We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then question the manner in which I provide it. I prefer you said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon, and stand to post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to!

Jack Nicholson (Col. Jessup): You want answers?

Tom Cruise (Kaffee): I think I'm entitled.

Jack Nicholson (Col. Jessup): You want answers?

Tom Cruise (Kaffee): I want the truth!
Jack Nicholson (Col. Jessup): You can't handle the truth!

I Believe in our Nation!  What ever happened to "Patriotism"

This is taken from 2 Peter 3
3:16 speaking of these things in all his letters. Some things in these letters are hard to understand, things the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they also do to the rest of the scriptures. 3:17 Therefore, dear friends, since you have been forewarned, be on your guard that you do not get led astray by the error of these unprincipled men and fall from your firm grasp on the truth. 3:18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the honor both now and on that eternal day.

~~~~~~

Pray for America 

**************

I'm expressing my frustration with people, the media, or America's way of dealing with disaster or tragedy. In these times it appears whenever we feel guilty or lack responsibility to do something about a tragedy is when it's time to blame someone or something for the cause of the trouble, as people we all seek a "Father Figures" to lead us at church or in politics, yet among all the nations in the world we have become the most gluttonous above all else FREE loving folks by nature. The Media is pointing fingers at President Obama and screaming loudly he ain't doing enough is because once again when people like to imagine ordinary human beings as "Super humans" in our minds. So President Obama is expected to transform into Superman but has his S on crooked; I suppose now is the time to recognize, or some of us fail to realize that He is our leader but still humbly just a man at the end of the day.


Politics and the Law is his profession not Finances as in wall street bailouts, Ecology and Fossils Fuels, as in wars and rumors of wars. We elected him to get us out of a mess he didn't create that trail blazes back too many administrations ago to lay blame on any one President.


I say get mad! Really get mad about everything then just go get in the car and take a nice ride; look around the road while cruising just imagine yourself walking down the road, riding a bike or taking the bus to wherever it is your going, using an alternative to gasoline. How many of us are willing to give up our nice cars, SUV's or just have one car and use an alternative to gasoline.

But our country needs is an alternative to how much we consume trade deficit exists because of our habits and wants desires, demands... {I've experienced firsthand a real awakening in my life being is I wasn't prepared for my economy to change so drastically so fast my thoughts were I had a fantastic life living large only to see GOD made it possible HE had provided me so much; truly I was responsible cause and effects for the conditions of my doing and that makes me responsible for my own plight to recovery financial and/or otherwise, to be mindful of how I treat others and how my own actions affect those around me}. I support Barack Obama and his Leadership nobody is solely to blame for what is upon us for this mess we facing now. It's cause & effect a failure to take more care and responsibility as individuals toward making this world a better place to live in for all; we fail to give the true thanks and glory to GOD first; going to church is one thing but real ministry is outside of the church any great scholar of faith will admit that try saving a soul of a person who has no knowledge of GOD and his ways, constantly abusing this earth like when it hits the fan the abuser always vowing to do better yet only to do worse by repeating the same things.

This is the worse "man made disaster" recorded in history nobody knows the true outcome all we can do is our share to become part of the solution find something to SACRIFICE.. Ask yourself ? what are you willing to collectively do to move ahead as a nation. We show so much promise yet the bible prophesy has shown us just this and once again Hollywood usually is years ahead in portraying us as foolish, naive, and greedy Americans who aren't willing to accept our fate. We define having Freedom as living "Lascivious", anything goes, we consume alot of everything all around the world. Energy is depleted, withdrawn never ever redepositing the love back into this earth that we draw from only wanting more and more for convenience sake, it's deep.

I'm not a guru on any specific topic I write from inspiration or reaction to the current events surrounding my life, but I got enough knowledge to see that we are all headed in the wrong direction. It's time to step up and do something besides lay back and place blame. Our country has to get better as a people no matter what spectrum of the quilt you come from. The President in my opinion is doing a good job based on the hand he was dealt coming into office, yet we are like spoiled children waiting for Santa Clause to bring our presents at Christmas he is just a great leader and politician and gets things done. Period.

Let's support his efforts please.

THE TRUTH WILL SET U FREE
THE TRUTH IS THE LIGHT
WORD IS BOND
TRUTH

and then"  JESUS SAID I AM THE TRUTH, THE WAY AND THE LIFE FOR NO MAN SHALL SEE THE THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME."

Be Honest it is what it is, can you handle that.....
