How come there are issues between young and old people?How come there are issues between young and older people?  The answer lies in propaganda as well as what is going on television.  Younger people are easily influenced by what is watched on what people are calling an idiot box.  The idiot box itself is classified as a television.  How come there are issues between young people and old has a lot to do with Bible prophesy.  Mark 13:8 says for nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom and there shall be earthquakes in divers’ places and there shall be famine and troubles these are the beginning of sorrows.  This is something that is going on right now between countries worldwide.  This is a very serious because it has an adverse affect on the United States as well.  However, in the 12th verse of Mark 13 it indicates that now the brother shall betray the brother to death, and father the son. Children shall rise up against their parents and shall cause them to be put to death.  This is something that is going on each and every single day.  We are really living in between the end of times and the last days.Also, when it comes to music that young people are listening to right now, parents are against it because it totally disrespects women of all races, cultures, and creeds.  The music itself is demonic.  It has a lot to do with Satan and his destructive schemes.  When it comes to issues between young and older people, it is a shame that our young people are not showing any respect to those who are older than they are.  There is a sense of emotional numbness that young people are showing and demonstrating to other people.  Their peers on the other hand are not really interested in any of their emotional numbness and the behaviors that exist afterwards.  This is the reason why it states in the book of 1st Thessalonians 4:11th verse says and that you study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands as we commanded you.  This means that we should continue to share the good news of Jesus Christ, as well as to be quiet and mine your own business.  It also means that we should continue to work with your own hands without accepting any handouts.  Next, younger people and their attitude have changed tremendously since 1980.  The reason for this change is because parents have changed their attitudes when it comes to rearing their own children.  Parents are calling their children their friends rather than their children themselves.  This is simply because the city, state, and federal government have intervened in the relationship between families.  The government is telling parents how to raise their own children.  Parents are not allowed to punish their children as they wish.  This is the reason why children are growing up without any sense of direction, guidance, understanding, and affection from their own parents.  This is a subject that should be addressed by everyone who has children as well as those who do not have any children of their own.  Like they say, it takes a village to raise one child.  This is true! In most cases, parents are not listening to their own children and addressing their needs.  When it comes to young people and older ones, it would be easy if we all can get along while we are living inside of a community.I wrote about this topic because our young people do not have any respect for elders.  They use a great deal of profanity and they are very apathetic.  This has changed a lot since the 1980s.  Television has changed a lot of our attitudes and there are too many reality shows that pertain to the lives of others.  There is a reality television show that pertains to everything in our personal lives.  I would not want anything that I am doing in my personal life to be on television.  A lot of young people are watching reality shows rather than take out the garbage at home.  There are at least 2 billion people between the ages of 13-40 who would rather watch television all day long rather than do their homework from school or college.  The issue that I have with young people today is that; most of them do not have any respect for themselves or anyone else.  What these young people do not know is that the world that we are living in is getting ready to come to an end.  Mark 13:37 says and what I say unto you, I say unto all watch.  This means that we have to really watch and pay attention to what is going on all around us.  We must get our lives right with God.  This is very serious because if the world comes to an end, at least a person would like to have their life right with God.  The son of man is coming down from heaven and it is a very serious event. As far as those who are older are concerned, we must continue to share the good news of God to everyone whether they are young or old.  It is very important that we share about what God has done for us in our personal lives and make certain!!

WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR TREASURED EMOTIONS?

What are the emotions that treasure inside of your heart?

The emotions that treasure inside of your heart are those emotions that are entangled inside of the mind. The definition of emotion is a feeling such as love or hate. Emotions that treasure inside of your heart are some of your natural feelings that you feel each day. During an average day, a person prays to God for allowing them to live to see that particular day. A person sometimes can have feelings that resonate or linger from the day before. In the book of Proverbs; in the 4th chapter 23rd verse says keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it springs the issues of life. This means that whenever a person have inside of their heart, feelings such as love, hate, anger, rage, and other feelings that causes us to defile our natural temple.

According to 1st Corinthians the 3rd chapter and 16th verse says that know you not that ye are the temple of God, and that the temple of God dwells in you. This means that we are the temple of God and it is very important that we share ourselves with others. In 2nd Corinthians 6th chapter and the 16th verse says what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said I will make my dwelling among them, and walk among them, and I will be their God and they shall be my people. This means that no matter what we are doing in our personal lives, God is with us. No matter what happens, we are born, we live, and we die; as long as we have the Holy Spirit that dwells inside of us.

Some of the emotions that I treasure the most are a sense of being emphatic, polite, understanding toward others, and a sense of happiness. I know that as a child, there were times that I used to feel very as a child because I had grew up in a very dysfunctional family. I know that as a little boy, I had to get tough and learn how to get tough because of the neighborhood that I had lived in Dayton, Ohio. I grew up feeling afraid a whole lot and to be perfectly honest, my environment was not conducive towards my personal needs. It is really sad when children grow up only learning how to survive by their wits only. I did not want to go through that as a child. There was a period of time that I had to deal with a non forgiving father and stepfather. Their primary emphasis was going to get high during the weekends and work to take care of their respective families. Therefore, I went lacking!!! There are periods of time that I had to learn how to survive all by myself with my half brothers and sisters.

6 Foods that Cause Hair Loss

Hair loss can be frustrating and, at times, alarming for both men and women. While genetics, stress, and hormones play major roles, what you eat (or don’t eat) also has a significant impact on the health of your hair. Certain foods may weaken hair follicles, slow growth, or even trigger shedding. On the flip side, nutrient-rich recipes can help nourish your scalp and encourage stronger, thicker strands.

What Your Hair is Missing if It’s Falling Out

Biotin

Not getting enough biotin in your diet can cause your hair to become brittle and fall out. Good sources of this vitamin include eggs, whole grains, soy and yeast.

Iron

Too little iron can disrupt the nutrient supply to your hair follicles. This can stop the hair growth cycle, causing hair loss. Good sources of iron include dark leafy greens, legumes, beef, poultry and sardines.

Vitamin C

If you don’t get enough of this vitamin, it’s harder for your body to absorb iron, which is needed for hair growth. Good sources include citrus fruits, green peppers and potatoes.

Zinc

A trace mineral that you must get through food because your body can’t produce it, not getting enough zinc can lead to hair loss. Good sources include pumpkin seeds, oysters and beef.

Selenium

Another essential trace mineral, not enough selenium in your diet can affect the health of your hair follicles. Good sources include brazil nuts, fish and brown rice.

Protein

Since your hair is made up of protein, you may experience hair loss if you don’t eat enough of it in your diet. Eating too much protein may also lead to hair loss because it can cause you to become deficient in biotin.

Other nutrients that may affect hair loss include vitamin D, vitamin B12, folate, riboflavin and copper. Not consuming enough essential fatty acids may also cause hair to break or fall out.

Foods That May Cause Hair Loss

1. Your Favorite Sugary Drink and Snack (Soda, Donuts, Cookies, Etc.)

Excess sugar spikes insulin levels, which may increase androgens (male hormones) linked to hair thinning in both men and women. High sugar intake also triggers inflammation, which can harm the scalp and follicles.
Examples: soda, candy, pastries, sweetened cereals.

2. Refined Carbohydrates (White bread, Pasta, Etc.)

Refined Carbs behave like sugar in the body. They strip away essential nutrients during processing and may interfere with the absorption of protein, which your hair needs for strength and growth. So you may want to rethink going back for seconds on that fettuccini alfredo.

3. Fried Chicken, Fried Fish, and Other Greasy Foods

I know what you’re probably thinking, but I love some good friend chicken or fried catfish just like anyone else. But my love for it could cost me my crown. Consuming too many fried foods can raise oil production in the scalp, potentially clogging hair follicles and causing dandruff or thinning hair. Excess trans fats and hydrogenated oils also damage cell health, including those in your hair roots.

4. Too Much Cheese (and other Excessive Dairy)

Some studies suggest that too much dairy (especially full-fat milk, cheese, and cream) can increase sebum production and aggravate scalp issues. Dairy may also raise insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1), which is associated with hair shedding.

5. Long Island Iced Teas and Your Favorite Alcoholic Drink

Frequent drinking dehydrates the body and reduces zinc absorption. Zinc is critical for healthy hair growth, and a deficiency may result in shedding and brittle strands. Alcohol also disrupts the natural sleep cycle, another factor tied to hair loss.

6. Swordfish, King Mackerel, and certain types of T

There as specific kinds of fish that contain high mercury levels, which can contribute to thinning hair. Mercury toxicity interferes with the body’s ability to process zinc, another essential hair nutrient.

Quick Meals That Boost Hair Growth

Instead of focusing only on what to cut back on, it’s just as important to highlight what to add to your diet. Hair thrives on protein, healthy fats, antioxidants, and minerals like zinc and iron. Here are some nourishing recipes that include these hair-friendly foods.

Recipe 1: Spinach & Chickpea Hair-Loving Salad

Why it works: Spinach is rich in iron, folate, and vitamin C—all important for oxygenating hair follicles. Chickpeas provide plant-based protein and zinc.

Ingredients (2 servings):

  • 2 cups baby spinach (washed)
  • 1 cup canned chickpeas (drained and rinsed)
  • ½ avocado, diced (healthy fats for scalp hydration)
  • ¼ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Place spinach in a large bowl.
  2. Add chickpeas, avocado, and cherry tomatoes.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice.
  4. Toss gently and season with salt and pepper.

Quick Tip: Add pumpkin seeds on top for extra zinc and magnesium.

Recipe 2: Salmon & Sweet Potato Nourish Bowl

Why it works: Salmon is packed with omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, and protein—all of which support hair thickness. Sweet potatoes contain beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A, promoting healthy scalp oils.

Ingredients (2 servings):

  • 2 salmon fillets (about 4 oz each)
  • 1 medium sweet potato, cubed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 2 cups steamed broccoli
  • ½ cup cooked quinoa

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Toss sweet potato cubes with ½ tbsp olive oil and paprika, then roast for 25 minutes.
  3. While roasting, season salmon with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Bake for 12–15 minutes.
  4. Serve salmon over quinoa with roasted sweet potatoes and broccoli.

Quick Tip: Squeeze fresh lemon over the salmon for added vitamin C, which helps with iron absorption.

Recipe 3: Berry & Greek Yogurt Hair-Boosting Smoothie

Why it works: Berries are loaded with vitamin C, which helps collagen production and prevents hair breakage. Greek yogurt provides protein and vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid), both linked to hair thickness.

Ingredients (1 serving):

  • 1 cup Greek yogurt (unsweetened)
  • ½ cup mixed berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds (rich in omega-3s)
  • ½ banana (for potassium and natural sweetness)
  • ½ cup almond milk (unsweetened)

Instructions:

  1. Blend all ingredients until smooth.
  2. Pour into a glass and enjoy as a quick breakfast or snack.

Quick Tip: Add a scoop of collagen powder for an extra hair-strengthening boost.

Recipe 4: Egg & Veggie Breakfast Scramble

Why it works: Eggs are one of the best sources of biotin, which is essential for hair growth. Combining them with colorful vegetables adds antioxidants that protect follicles.

Ingredients (2 servings):

  • 3 eggs
  • ½ red bell pepper, diced
  • ½ cup spinach
  • ¼ onion, diced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Heat olive oil in a pan and sauté onions and peppers until soft.
  2. Add spinach and cook for 1 minute.
  3. Beat eggs in a bowl, season with salt and pepper, then pour into the pan.
  4. Scramble until cooked to your liking.
