The Jamaican Countryside

Hello again everyone! I have returned again unto you. I have been busy with exams and I was in the Jamaican Parish of Manchester visiting my relative. Currently, I am at present in search of employment to serve my family and pay off my student loan. While I was in the countryside, I couldn't but help notice how beautiful Jamaica really is. You understand I live in Kingston and the sole matter I see often is concrete buildings, roads, cars, pollution and people; not to say I don't like people, but they tend to be exceedingly aggressive, uncouth, untidy, disorganized, scandalous, vicious and selfish. In addition, Kingston tends to be a plaza filled with high crime rates and poverty which means high stress rates for the dwellers. So I said to myself, I need some relief from all this stress and went to the cool Parish of Manchester to chill out from the heat in Kingston. While I was in Manchester, I could take in the beauty of God's creation; trees, birds, flowers, the stars (I

Are Places of Worship Safe?

In today's world there is high levels of violence occurring in every imaginable location affecting both young and old. The amazing thing about the world is that we adapt by providing security in our homes, businesses and schools to continue our daily lives. However, when it comes to religious institutions, there is no sign of security of the members or church to feel comfortable. Constantly there are reports of criminals and terrorist attacks on religious institutions such as churches, mosques and synagogues. These institutions usually cater to families which means there must be children. So this begs the question, are religious institutions safe? Well let us examine the facts. I attend a christian church in Kingston, Jamaica and somehow I am not satisfied with the safety that my church offers. Recently a member's vehicle was stolen from the church's parking lot during service. The member was extorted of a large sum of money from the criminals to return his vehicle in a saf

What I don't like

Yeah. Chief Keef's I don't like. Not my favourite song but it is the only thing that suits this topic. I'm a real person and I have many things ( people and situations) that I don't like. Some of these things are against what I support and some just irritate me. So now without wasting your time, here is the things that I don't like. Drama Queens- These are one class of people I really don't like. These people make simple things a major problem.They stress me out too. I know you're going to say that I need to learn to deal with these people but guess what, dealing with them makes you sick which makes you dead. So yeah, deal with them until they kill me. Good idea.  Boring/Lame People -  Many times, I would be around boring people and I would say " I'm bored. You want to do something?" They say " No. Thank you", then a few moments later they complain about being bored. Listen people, life is too dull without excitement. Smile a l

The people in the church

You know ever since I was young, I always thought that the people in the church were the nicest people in the world. I have been going to church for a long time now and I was always told that church was the best you could be. Well since I have been there I was never felt welcomed; I always felt i never belonged there. Growing up, I used to be the laughing stock of both school and church. I used to be called nerd, stiff man, glasses man and so on. I had no friends and sometimes I was sidelined due to my lack of athleticism ( I was never good at sports).  I remember onetime people at my church spread rumors about me being an homosexual even though I was just a kid and I wasn't even one. This tarnished my stature very badly and it took some years to be fixed. I remember when those church folks would call me a weirdo even now. Some don't even know my name, age, birthday or school and I have been there for over 20 years. Yet these are the same folks telling you to love one another.

The church debunked

The church today is one of the most powerful institutions on this planet. It governs our daily lives; sometimes with force or psychology.  However few people know they operate even in this day and age. Well,  it's time now. Here are somethings which most people don't know about the church or Christianity. 1 Doctrine Doctrine is the belief system of the church. When you're baptised into a church, you're baptised into their doctrine.  That means anything they believe you believe in or anything they do you do. For example in some churches, baptised members speak in tongues but in another church these rules don't apply. So remember church equal doctrine. 2 Open mindedness This is an area where the church fails in. You see, the church doesn't allow for open minded thinking.  This would be diabolical for most Christians. However, the bible does support open mindedness.  Where? Joshua 24:15-(And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord,  choose you this day whom
