“Due to Mom’s condition, she would attack “The Walls” from sun-up to sun-down and day after day due to her mentalparanoia. With the death of her sister, no barrier, partition, fence, or any standing surface would’ve been safe. That kind of trauma would’ve created an endless loop of rages such as: “Oh no! Oh no! Not my sister, you Devil Ass Dawg! Oh Jesus, those Dead Dawg have come and taken my sister away! Help me Jesus! Help me get those Dawg out of my house! Lawd, I can’t take these Dawg howling anymore! Lawd Jesus, bring her back! Lawd, bring her back!”

“Jesus’ ministry lasted 1,350 days, spanning five calendar years (AD 29–33), fifty calendar months, and 44.36 months (calculated as being of 30.5 days’ average duration). The gospels have gaps in their narratives in which Jesus disappears from the pages of history. The gaps total 770 days, which is about two years, representing fifty-seven percent of Jesus’ total ministry time. No wonder John wrote “Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book” (John 20:30) and “There are many more things that Jesus did. If all of them were written down, I suppose that not even the world itself would have space for the books that would be written” (John 21:25).”
― James Allen Moseley

“Children understood at a very young age that doing nothing was an expression of power. Doing nothing was a choice swollen with omnipotence. It was, in fact, godly.

And this, she now realized, was the reason why the gods did nothing. Proof of their omniscience. After all, to act was to announce awful limitations, for it revealed that chance acted first, the accidents were just that--events beyond the will of the gods--and all they could do in answer was to attempt to remedy the consequences, to alter natural ends. To act, then, was an admission of fallibility.”
― Steven Erikson

“When you cultivate a godly thought life your soul will shine and you will exhibit the presence of the Lord in you.”

“Paintings of Jesus with long hair and a full beard and of first-century Jews in Persian turbans and Bedouin robes are fantasies of later artists. The Hellenistic world created by Alexander the Great was remarkably homogenous in style. From Britain to North Africa, from Spain to India, people affected Greek manners. The earliest paintings of Jesus depict him as the Good Shepherd with short hair, no beard, and wearing a knee-length tunic. This is probably far more what Jesus looked like than the paintings we know and love. The apostle Paul admonished men not to let their hair grow long (1 Cor 11:14), which he would hardly have done if the other apostles or the Sanhedrin had worn their hair long; he certainly would not have written that if Jesus had worn his hair long.”

Satan is not wise; he is just crafty!”
― Israelmore Ayivor

― James Allen Moseley, Biographies of Jesus' Apostles: Ambassadors in Chains

“A good home and family are indeed blessings from God, reflecting His favor and care. While having a large family can be a joy, it's essential to recognize that God's blessings come in various forms and sizes. Ultimately, a home's success and happiness depend on God's involvement and guidance. We must prioritize our relationship with God, ensuring that our love for Him surpasses our love for family. By seeking God's blessings and guidance, we can build strong, loving homes that honor Him. Whether single or part of a large family, God's presence makes all the difference in our lives.”
― Shaila Touchton

“She’s not hard to get—she’s hard to forget. A woman of God walks in worth, not worry. She carries herself like prophecy fulfilled. Her posture preaches before her mouth opens. She is not just a woman of faith—she is faith in motion. She doesn’t chase—she chooses. Her boundaries are not bitterness, they’re brilliance. A Godly woman is a living altar, not a temporary thrill.”
― Dr. Angela L. Hood
