What does it mean to be a God Fearing Man?

First, I want to say Thank You Lord! For allowing to wake up to breathe your breath of life, utilize my 5 senses, and to move my arms and legs.  Dear Lord, I would like to say thank you for allowing me to come to terms with my family members and friends.  God, grant me the serenity to accept the things that I cannot change, courage to change the things that I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Second, what does it mean to be a God Fearing Man? It really feels good from the inside out.  Even though I am a work in process, however, I am a man who has a lot of common sense.  I know that I am a man, who has to still resolve a lot of active issues with my own family members. I have to stop taking too much medication.  I have to stop sleeping entirely too much during the day.  I am a God Fearing Man because I am a man who knows how to do the things that are appropriate for Him.

Third, I want to let all of you know that I am a man who is very nice, kind, gifted, intelligent, pleasant to be around, and eager to help other people.  I know that I still have faults.  I know that I have needs, wants, and desires.  I am praying a whole lot more, and I am reading the Bible each day of the week.  I want to inform all of you that I might feel very weak and feeble, but I am not going to give up in life.  I will admit that I still feel weak and tired all of the time.  I know that; there are times when I am too tired and weary.  I will learn how to be the person that God wants me to be.

Fourth, I am a man who has come a very long way in my personal life.  I have learned how to pray and do the things that God wants me to do.  God wants me to be a man who is eager to succeed.  I know that God has plans for me.  According to Jeremiah 29:11, God knows the thoughts that He has towards me, plans to succeed and plans to life for Him.  I know that God has changed me from a man who used to be an alcoholic.  I used to be a person who used to welsh on my payments when it comes to paying my bills.  I used to use vulgarity all of the time.  I also used to get drunk and talk to myself.  God is a very good God.

Fifth, I am a man who is college educated.  I love the University of Toledo so much that I wish that I could earn my Master’s degree in Social Work.  I want to inform everyone that I am a person who always reflect on the needs of the Lord.  I do not have a wife anymore.  I do not have a female companion.  I am a person who loves living in Charlotte, NC.  I love working at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte J. Murray Atkins Library.  I miss living in Charlotte, NC because it is a very progressive city.

Sixth, I am a man who loves the Lord.  I will admit that I have character defects that I would like for the Lord to resolve for me.  I am guilty of being a man who have done things that are really bad in my life.  For instance, I slept inside of a bowl of chili because I was drunk.  I have done things that are really bad.  I graduated from high school three years late.  I went to Job Corps and messed up.  I got my nose broke by a Caucasian male.  This took place on September 18, 1983.  It was an accident.  I got into the way of a young man who was swinging wild, and I did not know that my nose was broken until I started bleeding.  I was furious just as much as that young man. 

Seventh, I want to inform all of you that I slept inside of a garbage can, when I was a 12 year old boy.  This is because I was afraid of going inside of my mother’s house.  This occurred on April of 1977.  I had to survive as well.  My mother, grandmothers, grandfathers, and aunt taught me how to survive.  My caretakers taught me how to survive in the streets of Dayton, Ohio.  My family members love me as a human being.  I just did not love myself.  I did not love myself because I was doing things that are of the world.  Romans 12:2 says do not conform to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.  The world itself will not be here, God’s Word will remain.

Finally, I want to inform all of you that God has something for me.  The world has something for me as well.  The world does not care for me like God does.  I know this because I have lived long enough to know that God will take care of me.  The world is changing very rapidly.  I am a man who is 52 years old and I have a lot of common sense.  I am warm, kind, brilliant, and very wise.  I am a God fearing person because God first loved me.

A flower inside of the desert

A flower inside of a desert is very rare. A flower period is a plant that grows inside of any climate and inside of any environment. Flowers that are usually inside of a desert that I have seen are sunflowers, cactus, and various grasses. I know because I am allergic to timothy grass. This is grass that is grown in the Western Part of the United States. A sunflower is very beautiful. This is a flower that flourishes inside of conditions that are hot and sticky. This is also a sweet young lady to whom I can call a sunflower. I am the type of person that call women beautiful names such as sunshine, shining star, sunflower, and a shooting star. These names are positive because it enlightens them as well as myself that women are beautiful and unique.

A flower inside of a desert is not a bad thing. At least there is water right under its own roots. A cactus has water inside of it. A cactus has its own water that comes from the ground. Whenever it rains inside of a desert, I can say one thing, at least all of the flowers inside of a desert receives it natural resource. The natural resource that I am talking about is water. Remember water is the element that sustains life. Without water, how would anything that is a living being survive on earth? The sunflowers are very large in size. They remind me of a sunshine that is directly on the ground. However, it is in plant form. I might sound as if I am a botanist. A botanist is a person who studies plants, vegetation, and the environment at large.

Natural Resources are the water, oil, and anything that is derived from the earth itself. Resources tend to vary according to the needs of mankind. Other natural resources such as coal and natural gas are extremely important. A flower can become a resource if a person is desperate and in need of food. Do you know that plants, fruits, and certain vegetables can be eaten at anytime? For instance, pokeweed, blackberries, apples, peaches, and certain weeds that is located outdoors. An example of this is ragweed. Ragweed is used as a treatment for constipation. There are other weeds and certain fruits and vegetables that are used to treat certain ailments in the human body.

A flower inside of a desert is really varies according to species and location of the desert itself. If I were at a location in the Sahara, then I would have a really hard time trying to find a natural resource. Natural resources would be very hard to find. I would have to look very hard and for a very long period of time. Let’s also find out what are the types of animals, insects, and reptiles that an average person would find inside of a desert. A person would see a coyote, fox, and snakes such as a sidewinder, sand flies, a hare, vultures, eagles, desert rats, scorpions, ground spiders, and many other living creatures. I also would like to add that it is very hot inside of desert regions and they have extremely humid conditions.

My flower inside of a place of this magnitude will stimulate my curiosity. By picking it up or directly looking at it, would allow me to ask specific questions. I would ask what kind of flower is it? How does it look to me? What color is it? How can a flower like this benefit mankind? These are the questions that I would ask if I were to observe a flower that is inside of a desert.
I have a strong desire for things that pertain to the environment as well as an interest in human relationships. The reason why I am a person who has this interest is because as a child, I have always wondered what things are like inside of my surroundings. The definition of the word environment is one own usual surroundings. The definition of matter is anything that takes up space. A human being is a beautiful creation from God. When God created woman he created a good thing. God created a woman to accompany man. Women are very intelligent human beings.

I am happy to have a great deal of respect for women and the issues that they support. Just like Breast Cancer, men can develop breast cancer and they wouldn’t know if you have this dangerous disease. I support all women’s issues no matter what they are. It is the woman who keeps families together. There are more women that are raising children all by themselves a whole lot more than ever before. My mother had taken care of all nine of us all by herself. She has done a magnificent job.

In spite of all of the obstacles that came between me and my siblings, we survived as a family unit. I can call myself a survivor still. I have learned a whole lot from my mother, grandmother, grandfathers, and other elders who have raised me. Just remember we all were ovum that was located inside of the ovaries of our mothers. The father is the one who had utilized his sperm and therefore, an ovum was fertilized and life itself came into existence. This process takes 48 hours. The entire maturation process when it pertains to life itself takes 236 to 270 gestation days. This is nine calendar months. Sometimes this process takes longer for some expecting mothers. This depends on the health of the fetus or embryo itself.

To be honest, any flower that is indigenous to the country itself can be grown inside of the desert. For instance, there are flowers that are from the Orient that are grown inside of deserts in the United States. There are flowers and cactus that are grown inside of residential areas in the Southeastern United States and in the Midwestern part of the United States. There are certain types of poison ivy plants that are grown all over the United States. For instance, there are certain types of poison ivy that has been growing in the Ohio River Valley that comes from Coastal Virginia.

There are also certain types of plants that exists in the Southeastern United States that have been planted in North Carolina, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, South Carolina, and Missouri. I am referring to the Magnolia Plants. I have also seen plants such as cactus in the Carolinas and in coastal regions along the Southeastern United States. There is type of grass that is here in the United States called Japanese Blood Grass. This type of grass looks like a fern but it causes serious allergy problems. The stems themselves turn red during the fall season. Japanese Blood Grass is common in the Carolinas and in the Ohio River Valley. My favorite flower is called daisies. I also like perennials and annuals as well. It is that I have allergies so I have to be very careful when it comes to dealing with plants and certain foods.

Telecommunications Safecracking

This is a report on a very important issue that affects millions around the world. This is called telecommunications safecracking. Let’s start off by asking ourselves what is telecommunications safecracking? First, we need to start off by saying that telecommunications is not just the use of a telephone. This involves mobile radio and direct satellite systems. This also consists of PDA Systems, Blackberry Technology, as well as any cell phone or mobile device that has a microchip technology. With this microchip technology, it stores information and it also is used to transfer data into a specific source. Do you know that I-Pads and Laptop computers can also be used as a communications device? Computers can also be used to send text messages over the telephone. This is very important because this is another way of communication through the use of text messages and emails as well. A very long time ago, communications was delivered manually and with the words from our own mouths.

It was also delivered through specific writings that were sacred and through means that was important to people. We also have to understand that long before man came into existence, God communicated with the world in a way that is sacred religiously. Adam and Eve communicated with each other and they were the first two people. However, due to the ultimate sin that was committed, God punished both of them, but they had children and the world was populated. I know that this is taking things off track a little bit, but it ties into the subject.

Telecommunications are so sophisticated that it enables people to do so many things. We can also look at things online as well as send a fax message if possible. Online transactions can also be performed as well as sending things that are extremely important such as our pictures.

We will now focus on safecracking. What is safecracking? Let’s look at the entire history of safecracking to begin with. This is a very serious crime that involves equipment that is used to digest and receive codes. These codes consists of numbers that are translated through methods of clicks by the use of a device called a stet scope. This is a device that a doctor uses to listen to our heartbeats. This is also a device that also listens to activities inside of our arteries that is located inside of the neck.

Next, we are going to put all of this together into a specific major topic. This is something that is really doing on through the uses of electronics. The reason why I am saying this is because I am a victim of it. My cell phone calls were illegally forwarded to an answering machine by a person that is unknown. This person who has committed this crime has done this to millions of people.

Now, I am going to inform you that all of my recent phone calls has been blocked and illegally sent to an answering machine by people who are using wireless computers. There are people that are committing this crime by taking your phone number and sending it to another cell phone. This is also done by people who are taking phone numbers from phone booths and sending the number to their own cell phones as well. This is called telecommunications safecracking because people are getting their cell phones and landline phone numbers infiltrated by criminals each day. This is extremely dangerous!!!!! This has caused millions of people to become extremely angry and outraged worldwide. It has happened to me and it is happening to a whole lot of people and they do not know it.

Solutions

First, call the phone company itself and request for all of your records. Second, make sure that all police reports are filed against all individuals involved and this includes those who you were affiliated with in the past. This also includes those telemarketers who call and request for information from you. Third, this also includes scammers and those who are involved in information technology. Make sure that you are able to manually pick up all of your records from the phone company themselves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

Criminals that are responsible

Information Technology Specialist that are involved in law enforcement as well as those who are in Library Information Systems is also criminals themselves. This also includes those individuals who work for telecommunication companies that are doing things illegally just to scam and hurt others. There are many people who are crooked cops that are involved in this sort of issue. These people as well as all corrupt officials need to be apprehended. There are members of elite street enterprises that are involved in this sort of crime. This is the truth!!!!!!!!!! These people have a tendency to remove and erase data that is extremely important because they are covering up their crimes. Covering up their crimes for what reason, this is because they do not care about others.

These individuals are emotionally suppressed and emotionally numb!!!!

This is simply because they really enjoy invading into the private lives of others. Members of the Information Technology Staff at major colleges and universities are also involved. This also includes those who are children who have access to computers, whose parents work in the field of education. If you are in college, please be extremely careful about who you are giving your information to. Please also be very careful while you are online to preserve your integrity and privacy. You are the most important person in the world. It is you who have to be extremely careful. You even have to be careful when it comes to your email, phone number, letters, as well as anything that belongs to you account-wise.

Sim Card Technology

A Sim Card is supposed to be the brain of a cell phone. This is a device that stores information as well as it also sends messages to communication towers. My information has been illegally intercepted and sent to wireless computers and it has also been sent to mainframe systems. This device is formally called a transmitter that is inside of a landline telephone. There is a very small grey colored device or a yellow colored device that is located inside of any phone. Telecommunication Companies are responsible for transmitting this information and sending this to communication towers as well as satellites for processing. To be frank, technology has been so advanced that anyone can also intercept your information from any computer through random selection. Telecommunication workers are responsible for trying to ensure the safety of others by not violating confidentiality as well as privacy of its citizens.

Illegal Wiretapping is something that takes place when a victim’s number has been illegally obtained and is used by others. This is done through methods of hacking and this is why we call this safecracking. Safecracking is done through illegal entry of bank safes. This is when a person who has experience in dealing with locksmith technology. A locksmith is someone who would have experience in something like this. Remember illegal entry of telecommunications devices is illegal and it happens on a daily basis.

A Sim Card can also be used as a tracking device by criminals. Your own Sim Card on your cell phone can be used through methods by GPS Technology and Satellite illegally. This is very dangerous because telecommunications company employees that are working and engaging in illegal activity perform these tasks. The Federal Government as well as members of law enforcement is also responsible for tracking their victims and suspects on a daily basis.

The defendants who had illegally had gained access to my information and my phone number have used it by downloading my information from my phone into a private mainframe system for their own methods of processing. This means that these defendants are connected to law enforcement in some way. I will have to find out officially. This is the truth because my phone calls I did not receive for the past few weeks from very important people. My privacy and confidentiality has been violated and legal action will be taken against those who are responsible.

I know that because I am monitored each day while I am online at the library, on the bus, as well as anyplace where there are cameras. These cameras are supposed to survey activity but it can also be used illegally by criminals. These criminals are responsible for feeding into the direct current of phone lines by supplying an alternating current and this is a method of intercepting phone messages through illegal wiretapping. This is also done through a direct wire feeding system by alleged criminals through methods of infiltrating a facility and this happens on a daily basis. If you do not believe me, have your entire facility checked out systematically each month. I hope this is something that will assist you in a way that will enable all of you to protect yourselves better. Thank you and God Bless!!

Sincerely,

Why are children and adults are acting up completely?

Good Afternoon and God Bless You! I would like to start things off by asking everyone a question. Why are children and adults acting up completely?  The answer to this question is because human behavior is learned.  For instance, children and adults are acting up completely because of the simple fact that; the world is coming to the end.  In the Bible, according to Mark the 13^th Chapter says in the end of times that children will rise up against their parents.  It also says that brother will rise up against brother, and daughter against their mother. 

According to 2^nd Timothy 3^rd Chapter, this is called the last days.  This means that each person will behave according to their own desires.  The last days will be more than the things that are going on in the present.  Why children and adults are acting the way they are right now? It is simply because people are gaining access to weapons.  There are more weapons on the streets right now, than they were over 30 years ago.  Our city streets are filled with immorality, drugs, and violence.  To be perfectly honest with everyone, the world will come to an end by the hands of mankind.

A child’s mind has been inundated with images of social media.  Since the year 2000, social media has dominated the minds of our children.  An average Facebook user is between the ages of 13 to 35.  Therefore, our children are recording every single thing that goes on in their personal lives.  Children are even fighting each other on social media.  When it comes to adults, they are gaining access to weapons and drugs right now, more than ever before.  Adults who are 40 and under and engaging in risky behaviors.  For instance, adults are having sex before marriage and are incarcerated for committing violent crimes.  There are adults who are doing recreation drugs as well as committing crimes against children.

Next, it is not very easy living in a rapidly changing society.  People are doing all sorts of bad things with each other.  In the Bible, it is an abomination to be involved in a relationship with someone of the same sex.  It is a sin to commit crimes against children.  It does not make any sense why people are doing things that goes against the Bible.  A 2009 DOJ study showed that more than 60 percent of the children surveyed were exposed to violence within the past year either directly or indirectly.  Children’s exposure to violence, whether as victims or witnesses, is often associated with long-term physical, psychological, and emotional harm. Children exposed to violence are also at a higher risk of engaging in criminal behavior later in life and becoming part of a cycle of violence.

Moreover, I want to inform all of you that adults are supposed to become mentors to our children.  If an adult is committing crimes against the children that we are supposed to be teaching and mentoring, then I really do understand why children are doing the things that they are doing.  There are more crimes that are committed at school, more than it was since 1985.  For example, children are carrying guns and other weapons to school.  Adults are committing violent crimes against women right now more than before.  Crimes against women has went up tremendously since 1985. 

In Addition, I want to inform all of you that some children do not trust adults.  I can understand why our children feel the way they feel towards adults and other children.  During the 1970s and 1980s, I did not have access to a cell phone.  I did not use a cell phone until the early 2000s.  I will also admit that I felt very angry towards other children, who used to bully me all of the time. I was angry towards those who tormented me for 9 straight years.  I will admit that I was a juvenile delinquent as well.  I can understand why children feel that schools and other basic institutions are failing our children today.  I want to admit that I graduated from high school 3 years late.  The reason why is because I was smoking marijuana, skipping school, and committing nonviolent crimes.

Finally, I want to inform all of you that I smoked marijuana from 1974 to 1990.  I was solely responsible for feeling neglected by my parents.  I really did not trust people who were older than me.
This is because I was hurt, cussed out, and beaten by my stepfather for 9 years.  My siblings and I did not trust each other, nor other adults because we felt angry all of the time.  I just wanted to be loved as a person by everyone, instead of being treated like an outcast.  Please keep me in your prayers.  Thank you for reading my blog.

Friends with Benefits

Good Afternoon Everyone!! I would like to start this blog off by asking a question.  What is the definition of the term Friends with Benefits?  Friends with benefits is when a person is trying to exploit or gain the advantage of another or others.  I know because this has happened to me personally.  I have been in relationships with women, and the only thing they are trying to obtain from me is money and a place to stay.  I begin to realize that right now, some women are looking for a sugar daddy.  A sugar daddy is one who gives freely to his mate in order to keep her satisfied.  For example, money is usually exchanged when it comes to a relationship of this magnitude.

Next, the term friends with benefits consists of paying bills for the next person without receiving anything in return.  It also has a whole lot to do with trying to gain the upper hand over another person.  The benefits on the other hand, are usually an even exchange.  For instance, some men usually would like to receive sex as a method of payment.  I know because I was gullible like that in the past.  I only wanted sex as a payment for an even exchange of resources.  Another example, is during the time, I was a student in college, and I used to pay for sex from female prostitutes and other women.  I ended up spending a total of over $100,000 dollars within a 24 year period.

Further, I am not saying that I am a very weak person, but I was living inside of the world and indulging in worldly passions and desires.  Even though, I was successful as far as employment is concerned.  I wanted what I wanted, and in most cases, I acquired it very quickly.  Romans 12:2 says do not conform to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.  I know that if I had continued to live inside of the world, I would not have any success whatsoever.

Moreover, in Matthew 5:28 says He whosoever looks at a woman to lust, had already committed adultery in his heart.  I guess I was thriving in lustful passions and desires.  Friends with Benefits has a lot to do with gaining an advantage financially over another.  It is that, men and women are looking for some sort of exchange in some sort of way.  Leviticus 25:17 says do not take advantage of each other, but fear your God. I am The Lord.  This means that God knows exactly what you are in need of long before you ask Him.  This is for all of us.  2^nd Thessalonians 3:10 says if a man does not work, he shall not eat.

In Addition, I want to inform everyone that in Proverbs 15:3 says the eyes of the Lord are in every place, keeping watch on the evil and the good.  If anyone on earth do not believe that God is not watching them, then you are wrong.  Friends with Benefits hurts the poor a whole lot more than the rich.  This is simply because if a man can barely take care of himself, what good is he for another? I want to say this, but some women are classifying themselves as High Maintenance.  This means that a man is supposed to get a woman’s hair done, pay all of her bills, and perhaps her children.

Also, I would like to add when it comes to the term Friends with Benefits, this is a form of submission to man or woman themselves.  In the Bible, it states that a person should love God with all of your heart, and with all of your soul, and with all of your mind.  This is the greatest commandment.  The second is just like it;, love your neighbor as yourself.  Friends with Benefits is when one person completely yields to another.  You are giving up some or all of your resources.  Therefore, it deprives a person to the point of depletion.

In Conclusion, I am simply saying that you have to think before you act.  Everyone have to really consider the consequences and the repercussions to giving to another in 2018 terms.  When it comes to myself, I will seriously ponder about all of my decisions in advance.  I will have to allow God to enter into my heart and guide me throughout my life.  Jeremiah 33:3 says call to me and I will answer you, and tell you great and unsearchable things that you do not know.  Friends with Benefits is only a metaphor.  A metaphor is an implied comparison.  Friends with Benefits with God is a good thing, but with mankind and the world, it leads to destruction.  If a man or woman tell you that I am a friend who wants benefits, tell them that you will pray for them. Thank you for reading my blog.

What are the differences between men and women?

Good Afternoon and God Bless You!!  I would like to start things off by asking a very important question.  What are the differences between men and women? Let’s start off with men for a moment.  First, men are the first of the gender species to be created by God.  Men are responsible for determining the sex of children.  Men, are stronger than women when it comes to brute strength.  Men, are the more aggressive than women.  Men are capable of earning more money than women.  For example, when it comes to earning money, men earn more money than women.

 The United States Correctional Facilities are filled with men, who committed crimes against humanity.  Men are made up of 75% of the prison population inside of the industrialized world.  Men are more likely to become fathers; however, there are much fewer men who take care of their children.  According to the United States Department of the Census, there are over 60% of women who are raising children.  Therefore, there are more single parent households right now in 2018 than they were in 1985.  I am going to focus on women in a few moments.  The reason why there are more women who are raising children by themselves is simply because of men forgoing their responsibilities as a parent. Minorities are more likely to be unemployed than the majority culture.  What is the definition of the word culture? Culture is a total way of life that is shared by members of a society.  Culture is also made up of men, women, and children from all countries and nationalities.

  Women are the second of God’s creation.  Women are more nurturing than men.  Women are more emotional than men.  Women are more likely to take care of a household than a man.  Women are more likely than a man to earn a college degree; according to the United States Census Bureau 2017.  There are at least 65% of women who enroll in college as a freshman, acquire their degree much faster than a man. 

Women are more deceptive than a man.  When it comes to relationships, 70% of women tend to cheat on their male counterparts because of sexual satisfaction.  When it comes to relationships, women are more active inside of the bedroom, and are the initiators of sex than men.  According to Women’s Health Magazine, a survey was done in the United States in 2010, and it has been confirmed that women are more passionate than their male counterparts.  Men are supposed to be initiators of a sexual encounter during a love making process.  Women are the rib of a man according to Genesis 2:22 says The Lord God had taken a rib out of man to make woman, and God has brought her to man.  Women are the helpmate of man.

 It is obvious to everyone that our world was populated immediately after the Great Flood in Genesis 8^th Chapter.  Prior to the Great Flood of the Earth, Noah had taken every animal species male and female and brought it inside of the ark.  When a person think about things, it is men and women together have children that are made up of the genetic makeup of both parents.  A child has 50% features from both parents.  Back to the lecture at hand, women mature faster than men.  Women, while being girls, go through puberty much faster than boys.  It is apparent to everyone that women are more likely than a man to compromise during a relationship. 

Women are more likely to be smarter than men.  When it comes to occupations, women are more likely than a man to become a nurse or a social worker.  When it comes to empathy, women are more emphatic than men.  When it comes to learning, both are alike when it comes to learned behaviors.  Both men and women are alike when it comes to learning new things.  However, men tend to get more frustrated when it comes to abstract learning than women.  Men are more likely to remain on recreational drugs and cigarettes than a woman. 

Further, women are more promiscuous than a man.  It is not very easy for men to stop smoking cigarettes.  When it comes to education, girls are more likely to graduate from high school than boys.  Whereas, boys are more athletic than girls.  This blog has been written to determine the differences between men and women.  This blog has been written by Anthony Joseph Hopkins of Dayton, Ohio.  Anthony Joseph Hopkins is a graduate from the University of Toledo in Toledo, Ohio (1993 &1995) respectively.  Anthony Joseph Hopkins has worked in the field of Social Work as well as Library Sciences for a total of 12 years.

What does it mean to come from a dysfunctional family?

Good Evening and God Bless You!!  I have a very important question to ask everyone.  What does it mean to come from a dysfunctional family?  I am asking this important question because according to the Pew Research Center; it specifically states that 54% of the families in the United States come from dysfunctional families in 2017.  The reason why is simply because there is a history of drug and alcohol abuse in families in the United States.  However, according to the Pew Research Center it states that 46% of families are a two parent family or are remarried in 2017. 

Next, I want to inform everyone that the very first dysfunctional was Adam and Eve in the Bible.  This is simply because Adam and Eve’s Son Cain killed Abel because God favored his younger brother over him.  Throughout the Bible, it has been confirmed in Genesis 25:1-40, during the Esau and Jacob story, states that Esau wanted to kill his brother Jacob because Jacob robbed Esau of his father’s divine inheritance.  Jacob deceived his father by tricking him by using goat skins on his arms and body to pretend to be his brother Esau.

Further, I want to inform all of you that even David, a man after God’s own heart came from a dysfunctional family himself.  David was a man who had numerous of wives, and his children rebelled against him.  Even though David was king of Israel.  He still had family problems.  I want to state that in the Bible, it promoted polygamy.  It is not very easy being in a dysfunctional family to begin with.

Moreover, according to the United States Department of the Census, in 2016, less than 69% of the children come from two parent families.  While in dysfunctional families, 55% of the same children are in this type of family.  A dysfunctional family is a family that has a lot of strict rules.  Most of these families have domestic violence, physical, mental, and emotional abuse, inside of these families.  When it comes to this type of family, there are children who are inside of the home all by themselves.  The definition of this type of children are called latch key.  This is because their parents are working outside of the home.  It really hurt these children because they really miss their parents.

In Addition, when it comes to a dysfunctional family, it really causes problems in the family.  Children do not perform very well in school because they are worried about the things that are going on inside of their home.  The siblings inside of a dysfunctional family, there are roles that each child participate in just to maintain the family household.  This is very true because I had to fulfill obligations inside of my own family myself.  It really hurts me to say this because I am the oldest person inside of my family.

Also, I had to take care of my siblings from age 7 to 16.  This is because my mother and stepfather were gone most of the time.  There were times when my mother did not come home and take care of the children.  She was there at least 65% of the time.  This is the truth in minority families.  When it comes to my individual family, I had to seek refuge at my grandmother’s house.  My grandmother’s house was a safe haven for me and my siblings.  My stepfather was an alcoholic.  He was very aggressive towards me and my siblings.  It really hurts me writing this because my own family do not respect me like I want them to.

In Summary, a dysfunctional family can be a man and a woman that is not married.  It is a very serious problem because younger people under the age of 50 live together inside of a household before marriage.  According to the Census Bureau, in 2017, 65% of them are living together without marriage.  This age group prefer to live together first before getting married.  Other statistics states that this age group obtain a divorce within the first few years of marriage.  In some cases, the police are called to their residence just to keep the peace.  It is not easy living inside of a household with someone who had or has been raised inside of a dysfunctional family.  The reason why because either the man or woman wants control of the household.  Control is always an issue in dysfunctional family.  Financial problems are another issue inside of a dysfunctional family.  In 2018, women want to work outside of the home.  Women want to obtain a college education.  If a woman is inside of a dysfunctional family household right now, she is more likely to leave the residence permanently and do not come back.  Men are the same way.  It is that men want women to accept them and understand them more than a man understanding a woman.  Therefore, it takes two people with a sound mind and common sense to maintain a household.

In Conclusion, it is time for a member of a household to get closer to God.  If a household is able to compromise, and understand each other, there is a likelihood that a family will thrive and survive together.  The conclusion of the matter is to love one another.  A consensus instead of a majority rule household or society is mandatory because it not only will prevent domestic violence, but it will improve relationships forever.

How come our police officers are getting killed?

Good Afternoon Everyone!! I have a very important question to ask everyone.  How come our police officers are getting killed? The reason why is simply because criminals are gaining access to weapons, while they are breaking parole or probation.  Another reason is simply because of the amount of domestic disputes between married couples as well as those who are cohabitating.  I want to inform all of you that there has been 4 to 5 police officers that have lost their lives, while they were on duty.  It does not make any sense.  I hope and pray that the President of the United States understand that all of these cops need help!! It is time for our members of Congress to pass a law that pertains to Gun Control.  I know that it is time for everyone to get serious with Gun Control.

Finally, it is time to stop the violence.  It seems like every time I watch the news, there is a cop in distress.  Our children are in distress and completely stressed out.  I want to tell everyone to please pray for the officers who have died during the past couple of weeks as well as the 17 children who died at the hands of another child.  It really hurts me because I have nieces and nephews who are attending public schools in the Dayton, Ohio area.  How come our members of law enforcement have to die at the hands of another person? I only wish that Jesus Christ can come right now.  To be perfectly honest with all of you, there are domestic problems that have occurred and our police officers have to go and resolve these issues, but it should not take another police officer to lose his life over another person’s issues.  What are we going to do right now?

What is the definition of the word plagiarism?

Good Afternoon Everyone!! I would like to start this blog off by asking a very important question.  What is the definition of the word plagiarism?  The definition of the word plagiarism is the process of duplicating, copying, or obtains information that does not belong to you.  It also has a lot to do with stealing information that does not belong to you.  Obviously, a person is using it as their own possession.  Whenever a crime like this occurs, it also called a copyright infringement.  This is not anything nice.  This is because a person can get sued in court for a large sum of money, or go to jail.

Next, I would like to inform everyone that I am responsible for speaking in the same way I write.  I have been told that I have been using complex sentences as well as transitional words in order to make my paragraphs flow better.  I want to inform all of you that someone on Mocospace.Com is really jealous of me as a person.  He is upset with me because I write better than him.  This particular person has falsely accused me of stealing someone else’s blog.  How in the ……. Is that?  I really do not understand why a person who uses street slang would accuse me of stealing another person’s blog.

Further, I want to inform all of you that someone in the past has stolen my report that I have sent to law enforcement.  I really feel that everyone has a right to a freedom of speech, religion, the press, and education.  I want to tell everyone that I am a type of person who knows how to write very well for someone in my age bracket.  I am a 52 year old man who is very intelligent, smart, and a person who possess a lot of common sense.  As far as this situation of committing a crime called copyright infringement is concerned, I really do not have to write anything online anymore.  I am getting ready to write my own autobiography called the Best of Anthony Hopkins.

In Addition, I was told by others that I am languishing in some kind of way.  It does not make sense for me to conform to the patterns of this world, but to become renewed by your mind.  I did not understand why a person would put me down online all of the time.  I will admit that I enjoy receiving both positive and negative comments.  When it comes to committing a crime like this, it is not worth it.  I really feel that God has given me a gift of wisdom, writing, and counseling.  I want to say this to everyone right now, I do not have to copy, paste, and steal anything whatsoever.  I understand an image that pertains to blogs.  To be perfectly honest with all of you, I have been writing manuscripts and essays that pertain to certain subjects.

Also, I want to tell everyone that I am a college graduate.  I graduated from the University of Toledo on Saturday June 12, 1993 and June 17, 1995.  I have earned my degree in Social Services Technology and Interdisciplinary Studies.  I have earned a total of 235 credits within a 5 year period.  Therefore, I have worked my ………….. Off while I was in college.  I do not have to impress anyone or steal another person’s information.  Plagiarism is a serious crime.  Therefore, if a person commits this crime, he or she should be punished. 

Finally, I want to end this blog by saying that I have to type a blog of this magnitude because I have too many people online who really hate me right now.  Currently, I will pray for all of my enemies and help them if necessary.  It does not make sense to hate on anyone without just cause.  When it comes to hurting other people, I will have to love all of you from a distance.  Remember, I love you even if you do not love me back.  This is the truth!!g

How Come Children are bringing guns to school?

Good Evening Everyone!! I have a very important question to ask everyone.  How come children are bringing guns to school?  The reason why children are bringing guns to school is simply because they need protection from bullies as well as other children who are preventing them from obtaining a good education.  I understand that school violence has went up 500% since 1985. 

Next, I want to inform all of you that I used to carry weapons to school myself because of the gangs who were in the Dayton, Ohio area from 1976 to 1986.  I also will admit that I had to use my weapon only a hand full of times.  I am not saying that I am not a thug.  I had to protect myself in school as well as inside of the neighborhood that I used to live in Dayton, Ohio.  I want to inform all of you that I used to be involved in street gangs in the Dayton, Ohio.  However, attending school was rough, and it is even rougher right now in 2018. 

Moreover, I want to tell everyone that children are showing their friends guns as well.  If a person is going to show another person their weapons, then they are asking for trouble.  School Violence is the most discussed conversation inside of school board meetings and at home.  My mother and stepfather used to ask me what I did at school every single day.  I was too scared to tell my mother and my stepfather that I ran home from school because school bullies used to beat the mess out of me.  My sister used to beat me up as well.

In Addition, I had to protect myself some way and somehow.  I am not saying that I am not a weak individual by all means.  I am only saying that I used to carry guns and knives to school because it was the thing to do; during the 1970s and 1980s.  However, I have managed to deal with others with my hands.  It is that right now, children are carrying guns to school every single day as we speak.  I have a total of 43 niece and nephews.  I would like for all of my family members to be safe at school or anywhere they go inside of their communities.

Also, I am a person who used to be involved in street gangs and carry weapons because I needed protection.  Do you know what I carry with me right now? I carry a Bible.  I would rather carry a Bible with me instead of a gun right now.  Inside of Matthew 26:52 says If you live by the sword, you will die by the sword.  This means that if you use a weapon against someone, it is more than likely that someone will use a weapon against you.  I really understand why children are carrying weapons today.  It is for protection.  I want all of you to know that if you are a parent, please talk to your children about guns and violence.  It is a realistic thing for anyone to defend themselves.

Further, I would like to work with children like I did from 1993 to 1996 at Jerusalem Outreach Center in Toledo, Ohio.  I had an opportunity to work with children who were involved in street gangs in the Toledo, Ohio area.  I was responsible for sharing my story about drugs, gangs, and school violence.  A lot of people do not realize that Dayton, Ohio is a very rough city.  It is a very small town, but children are carrying guns to school as we speak.  I am happy that God has changed me for the better because carrying a gun or a knife would get you killed.  It is not worth it.

In Summary, I asked this question because children are getting killed inside of school more than at home.  According to the United States Department of Justice Statistics say that school violence has went up 500% since 1985.  To be honest, it is time for our adults to start talking and mentoring our troubled youths.  I have been mentoring my nieces and nephews because I have been in their situation at school myself.  To be honest, our Basic Institutions have made a quality of life very difficult for everyone that is in our public school systems worldwide.  Why do children carry guns to school is because they are scared of their fellow pupils.

In Conclusion, it is time for everyone to take school violence serious.  I am taking it serious because crime rates are rising everywhere because of social media, peer pressure, and family issues.  In my case, I went to school and I got beaten up by everyone.  I did not understand why it was a necessity for me to start carrying weapons to school until I start getting beaten up for 9 years inside of my neighborhood in Dayton, Ohio.  Attending the public schools were not any better from 1979 to 1986.  I had to carry weapons because my fellow peers were involved in gangs and acting the fool.  Even though, I was in NJROTC in high school, it did not stop me from possessing weapons in school.

  I am sharing my story because I want everyone to know that I was victimized inside of the public school system for over 9 years.  I got stabbed with an ice pick by someone who wanted my money and possessions.  This happen during the spring of 1976 inside of Edison School in Dayton, Ohio.  Attending school during those times made me scared and angry at the same time.  I had to suppress all of my angry feelings and handle myself like a man.  My mother told me that I was the man of the house when I was 8 years old.  I want everyone to please pray for our youth because they need role models out of every adult that they encounter.  Thanks for reading my blog.
