First off i'm going to preface tonight's episode with i use cigar, you can replace cigar with whatever vise that you would like. Whatever your "togetherness vise may be" coffee, juice, blunt, cigar whatever just don't do it alone. Now that that's out of the way. I enjoy my down time as much as the next man. I get home after a hard days work, put everyone to bed, now the search is on "where's my stick, my lighter, my cutter and my ashtray". Now i'm set...ahh peace and quiet. Now I'm not selfish. And I know like, I KNOW  that I'm not the only hard worker, victory lap (deservant) cigar smoker in my home. So now that the kids are asleep let's enjoy one together with a cup of coffee and tell me.... what's on your mind.

With ALL that is done throughout the day, hell throughout life for whatever motivation may be (GOD, Family, Business) whatever it is. When is enough, enough? As parents are we done after the child has reached 18. As husband/wife are we done after all the bills are paid (MONTHLY). As siblings are we done after both or all siblings can make it without going back home? As children of GOD are we done...when? Often times the things that are forementioned in this passage are taken for granted unitentionally because the gestures that we do are done because it's what WE do by way of upbringing and/or raising. In my OPINION, we're never done. As long as there's breath in our body we're never done.

I'm not misogynistic at ALL. And I say these things with the highest reguard for women. I think EVERYONE is due respect ALL man kind, not man like, but man kind. Women can bring the best out of us and the worse. I think men are better figure heads but the man with virtuous woman in his ear would be the best figure head. That's because of the detail. Women brings a something that we just don't have. I honestly can't put my finger on it, but they have it.

This is a little puzzling to me. I know some people that believe in God for everything yet don't believe in themselves for anything. I also know people that believe in God and believe in themselves. Some believe in themselves and not believe in God. Then someone that don't believe in God nor themselves. So I guess the part that has me puzzled is... well let me say this "to know yourself is to know God" if you have a conscience then you hear from God. That's your conscience sense guiding you. So I guess there lies my confusion. Help me out family.

There's so much going on in the news, that we need to converse about, either to understand or get understanding. If we don't have an open and healthy dialog then we'll continue to go in circles. So let's put it on the table and talk about it. This is the kitchen table where nothing is off limits.

As you all know, we have real talk. So what's in the news this week is things that we should address. Feel free to call and add your topic or question and we'll address that as well. Just a slight change in direction, we will be having real talk. Please don't get offended. We're ALL family.

I don't talk much and truthfully i don't encourage people to say too much to me. In my opinion, the more a person talks is the more that person have to live up to. For example, every man claims to be a gentleman. Now when its time for you to perform a gentlemanly act ALL eyes will be on you to see if you live up to the talk. Every word from your mouth is a verbal contract. Can you follow through?

No one wants to take the blame or be held accountable for their own actions even if affects the child or children. As the adults in the situation effective communication has to be included. You have to let go of OUR issues for the sake of our child. We may not be good for each other in a relationship however, we wasn't always fighting if we created life. So for the sake of our child let's work beyond our common issues, I'm too much of a man to tell our child that i had to get away from your mother or get out of that toxic relationship. Just like i'm sure you're too woman to say your daddy tried but i ran him off. Whatever the case is, don't allow YOUR baggage to be the wedge between a parent and their child or children.

How do we fall for the same thing, in the same situation every time? When are we going to wake up and wise up? Eve fell for it. Lots of women nowadays still falling for it. What is this "it" that you're referring to? What I am referring to is deception and I'm talking on the simplest level. I'm not talking about a ponzy or pyramid scam. I'm referring to just telling them what they want to hear. Or maybe the is the system's fault for preying on a woman while she's in a weaken state. let's talk about it

I was told that only christians will go to heaven. I was told that God isn't in the midst of confusion. I was also told that Jesus of Naz practiced Judaism. So needless to say i'm confused and I'm sure that i'm not the only one just based off the previous things that i was told. I was told that God judges me off of my heart not my actions. So if i live "right" (based on the right that i know) i could go to heaven. But what if i don't subscribe to a religion but follow the practices of multiple doctrins to be the best me, would i not qualify to be heaven bound? He judges my heart not my actions. Let's clear up this confusion.
