Gratitude opens the door to God's blessings

Thursday November 29, 2018

The real art of conversation is not only knowing the right thing to say at the right place but to leave the unsaid wrong thing at the tempting moment. May God bless you with the art of holding your tongue when the conversation calls for
it.

Thank God. My prayer today is not in the asking. It is in the acknowledgement of all God's giving. Thanks to the holy One for all I enjoy, and even that which pains me. God knows; Struggles keep me grateful.

No Church In The Wild: Jay Z and Kanye West

***WARNING: DISTURBING IMAGES AND LYRICS ***

NO CHURCH IN THE WILD LYRICS

Human beings in a mob
What's a mob to a king?
What's a king to a god?
What's a god to a non-believer?
Who don't believe in anything?

We make it out alive
All right, all right
No church in the wild

Tears on the mausoleum floor
Blood stains the Coliseum doors
Lies on the lips of a priest
Thanksgiving disguised as a feast
Rollin' in the Rolls-Royce Corniche
Only the doctors got this, I'm hidin' from police
Cocaine seats
All white like I got the whole thing bleached
Drug dealer chic
I'm wonderin' if a thug's prayers reach
Is Pious pious 'cause God loves pious?
Socrates asks, "whose bias do y'all seek?"
All for Plato, screech
I'm out chere' ballin', I know y'all hear my sneaks
Jesus was a carpenter, Yeezy, laid beats
Hova flow the Holy Ghost, get the hell up out your seats, preach

Human beings in a mob
What's a mob to a king?
What's a king to a god?
What's a god to a non-believer?
Who don't believe in anything?

We make it out alive
All right, all right
No church in the wild

I live by you, desire
I stand by you, walk through the fire
Your love, is my scripture
Let me into your encryption, yeah yeah

Coke on her black skin made a stripe like a zebra
I call that jungle fever
You will not control the threesome
Just roll the weed up until I get me some
We formed a new religion
No sins as long as there's permission'
And deception is the only felony
So never f*ck nobody without tellin' me
Sunglasses and Advil
Last night was mad real
Sun comin' up 5 a.m.
I wonder if they got cabs still
Thinkin' 'bout the girl in all-leopard
Who was rubbin' the wood like Kiki Shepard
Two tattoos, one read "no apologies"
The other said "love is cursed by monogamy"
That's somethin' that the pastor don't preach
That's somethin' that a teacher can't teach
When we die, the money we can't keep
But we prolly spend it all 'cause the pain ain't cheap, preach

Human beings in a mob
What's a mob to a king?
What's a king to a god?
What's a god to a non-believer?
Who don't believe in anything?

We make it out alive
All right, all right
No church in the wild
No church in the wild
No church in the wild
No church in the wild

Psalm 23:1-3 The Lord is my shepherd, I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows, He leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths bringing honor to His name.

MARRIAGE RESTORATION

Please pray that my marriage is restored. My wife had a non-intercourse affair with and ex and I am trying to move on from it but it is very hard. We have not been physically intimate in 6 months and she says she’s not ready for it yet. She wants to build emotional intimacy first. She is also in a deep depression due to the shame and guilt. I have faith that God will deliver us from this but it’s so very hard.
