    Tanikka Paulk wrote a new post, If we Don’t Stand up Then no Change Will Come 8 years, 5 months ago

    There’s so many issues within our society that need our attention. Of course we may not be able to tackle all of them but if we can take care of some of the issues then our society will be a more pleasant one. We […]

    • No point trying to change the social inequality. It is a waste of time and energy.
      The thing we can do is to help the poor a bit more.
      if we can pay for their medical fees, and help their children get food, then that is good. If we can do more, that is even better.

      • Helping the poor is a start and just wanting to help others is a great start as well. We can provide something to society. There’s things we can do that won’t need money. Focusing on the youth is something that’s needed. Even a little bit helps. I remember of the children handed a homeless man some can goods and that made his day. Even the little things could help in some way. We have to be willing and just compassionate.

    • The point is too broad. It is too big. The change is too general. The change if I were to do it, it should start from me, then to my wife, to my children. To put it plain from my own family, from my own home. If it is possible, it would radiate to the society where I live. If not, then it is impossible. The change will only take place when the world or the earth will vanish totally and new world, new creation emerges. Do we get my point? Are you willing to start it with you?

    • Trying to tackle those issues aren’t easy and so many have tried in some but perhaps different approaches will help in some way. We can’t continue to allow those issues to linger on without any attention. No one person can tackle even one of the issues. The world is filled with so many problems and a lot of people may not know where to start but we have to start somewhere. Hopefully we’ll resolve some of the issues. At least pay closer attention to youth violence and better community programs.

    • A society is composed of different people with different ideology and beliefs, so we can never expect a solid society ,unless all people have a common interest and values.In the recent time in the country where I live, change is coming and our society will be having its stable and remarkable impact within 6 years with our new president tough, trustworthy and committed .

    • @Tanikka Paulk Whenever I talk about society I feel strongly about the norms set by it. Society did not consult us and so making rules that suit a few saying that it is injustice is an understatement

    • Change with the passage of time is must otherwise societies die anon after many a couples of years as the histories expose this secret to the wise men. There are two ways of bringing change in any country. First, the government want change if not so, the the people of the country come our of their homes for change and turn turtle the cart of the politicians with power of men.

      We must keep in mind that Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them – that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.

      Therefore, I think that in the celebration of the 350 years of the present reign, there must be research on the changes that the country has undergone, and in the future, it could be used as a lesson for our future actions.

      We don’t know. We actually don’t know. What I’ve been telling people from other lands, perhaps optimistically is, “Trust our country. We have a lot of self-correcting mechanisms. We have a checks and balances system that prevents us from doing anything truly foolish. As foolish as we may look right now, we’ll find a way to get this fixed.” But I’m not confident that’s right. I’m not confident of that.

    Tanikka Paulk wrote a new post, God Will Provide the Protection 8 years, 5 months ago

    God gives each and everyone of us something that will protect us from the evils of the world. He fives us the “Armor of God.” Without the armor I don’t know where I would be. We live in a world where the […]

    • You say right that God has give us armors against evil what is the armor nothing but Faith in God and Fear of God. If someone acts upon the said two things evils never touches him or her flesh and soul. Today’s problem are due to our losing faith in God day by day.

      But I see day by day human faith in God and Fear of God have human heart forever now its place has taken doubt the nature of Satan the enemy of human being on earth. Human salvation lies in it that we all have to restore our faith in God and Fear of God to reinstall peace and calm on the gard disk of human brain. Asd the Scripture says:
      Samuel
      12:14,15 If you fear the Lord and serve and obey him and do not rebel against his commands, and if both you and the king who reigns over you follow the Lord your God–good! But if you do not obey the Lord, and if you rebel against his commands, his hand will be against you, as it was against your fathers.

      12:24 But be sure to fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things he has done for you.
      Exodus 15:2
      2 “The LORD is my strength and my defense ; he has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise him, my father’s God, and I will exalt him.
      Psalm 33:4-6
      4 For the word of the LORD is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. 5 The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love. 6 By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth.

      We do not read the bible and other holy books given every nation but we consider the books just fictions and old tales of days gone by. We are making mistake.

    • You are very right about God being out protector and provider. Many are the times that we do things and when we succeed we feel great that we have achieved because of our hard work but the truth is if God was not in it you would never have pulled through. It is by his grace that we are able to go through situations, trials and certain conditions and illnesses, because his grace is sufficient to see us through.
      God answers out prayers in ways that we may not anticipate or think of. Sometimes we may pray something specific, but God may not answer us at that time that we are expecting or he may not answer at all. This is because his thoughts are not our thoughts and his ways are not our ways. He answers is in his own time and he is never too late or too early, he’s just on time. Whenever we are in trouble we run to him and he rescues us. Prayer should be everyone’s priority in this life, because it helps us in so many ways, it gives us hope, it strengthens our faith, and it gives us the grace to do exploits , to do stuff that we may think we cannot do. God provides a solution for every problem that we have and that is the bible. When you read it there is always a word that will encourage you even if you were feeling useless or horrible, you will feel lifted when you read it. So I agree that prayer does work for those that believe.

    • We may have trials and tribulation in our lives. God we always make away and He will never put more on you than you can bear. He is our protector and provider. He will never leave you.
      We might leave him but he is always there, waiting for us to call on him. He is peace in the middle of a storm. He is our shield of defense, when all matter of evil is trying to overpower us.
      We will be tested in this life, but we must know that God will supply all our needs.

    • God will always be our provider and protection but it is our duty to asks for these graces. Nevertheless he patiently awaits our call and never refuses us if we take too long to come to him.

    We never really know what someone is going or has gone through. We can only assume and assuming seems to be the way of the world. There’s people who have offered  us melodies and harmonies and do we remember what […]

    • I am not familiar with this singer, Phyllis Hyman. She’s already dead in 1995. That was 21 years ago. What is her nationality? I try to listen to her music, especially the video that you have attached here. Sad to tell you, it didn’t work in my end. The video didn’t play and the song, “A Song Bird That ” didn’t exist when I search it in the web. What’s wrong?

      • She didn’t have a song titled a “A Song Bird.” That’s the title I choose for the post. I’m sorry the video didn’t work on your end but if you go to Youtube then you can hear her music. Hopefully you’ll listen to her music and enjoy it. She offered the world her God given talent and that’s what we all can and should do. Have a blessed day!

    • If I’m not mistaken, one of her popular songs was “Old friend”? It was a good song about getting back together with an ex-lover. Yes, I do miss that voice. That good quality voice that could only be identified as Phyllis Hyman.

      • If you’re referring to the song yes, it was popular, but if you’re referring to Tanikka Paulk as being an old friend to someone that’s incorrect. A friend perhaps but not yet old. She had a very unique style and voice. Can’t be duplicated. She made her mark on earth and it’s so sad that she took her life. Her music was emotional and if one listened closely they could hear the pain in her voice.

    • There are many useful people in the movie industry that ended their lives in the wrong way. They never knew how they were loved and will be loved for they contributed much happiness to people in the world. The obvious reasons are either drug abuse, depression and sickness.

      • We’ve lost a lot of important people who thought they weren’t loved. Some were diagnosed with depression but some other issues could be the root cause for their abuse to themselves. There’s people who look fine outwardly but are going through troubles within. Phyllis was a singer, actress, and model. She never accepted the others loved her. First one has to love themselves and then they’ll know the love of others. God and Jesus’s love is the best love of them all.

    • Good post. You’re words of encouragement made my day. I do face negative elements everyday and your message has lifted some of my crushed pride. I’m trying to be positive as much as I could. And yeah, like what you said, pretend that they don’t exist but they do. That “inner peace” though, I need to find that. 🙂

      • @Rachz, Just know this day in this post that you are sometimes feeling negative in life.From now on, tell yourself not to be negative anymore.There are many ways to enjoy life.Happiness is not hard to find as what you said in your post in the other universe site MK.LOL.

      • I appreciate you for appreciating the posts. We should try to be positive and although it’s not always easy to do. We can find peace. I find peace through praying and with gospel music. We live in a world that can be quite cruel and we have to find a way to find “peace.” If not we’ll be riddled with pain and we won’t fair well. Have a wonderful day!

    • That is true, let us not allow negative people to kill our dreams.Life is so beautiful and we are just foreigners on earth.Others do want us to sympathize their negativity, but we can also detect their remorse as self-defacing and find no reason why be carried away by one’s interest to out life down and never to be happy in life, which is wrong.

      • We shouldn’t allow too much negativity in but those who constantly display negativity could be trying to cry out. They may not know how to express themselves in a positive way. We can try but if it’s too much for us then we must step back.

    • When you are negative you will find negative people because negativity breeds negativity that is why we say other are wrong I say that we are wrong with negative thoughts the same we see in others.

      More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

      God gives us the power through His Holy Spirit to live free from the entanglement of sin. He gives us the power to live strong. He gives wisdom and discernment to make the right choices. He gives joy deep inside. He offers the assurance, that no matter what we face, He is with us.

      Let your Spirit and power breathe in us, through us, again, fresh and new. Thank you that you are greater than anything we may face in our day. Thank you that your presence goes with us, and that your joy is never dependent on our circumstances,

      but it is our true and lasting strength, no matter what we’re up against. We ask that your peace lead us, that it would guard our hearts and minds in you. We ask for your grace to cover our lives this day. We love you Lord…we need you.
