Let He Who Is Without Sin...

Ok, so, I know I'm late with this, but I am just now taking the time to read about the controversy concerning Kandi Burruss putting out a gospel track featuring Marvin Sapp titled Prayed Up. Here is my take on that, we ALL have faults and have made mistakes and have things in our pasts that we are not necessarily proud of and regardless to whether or not it involved sex, it was NOT pleasing to God and we knew it. I say that to say "let he who is WITHOUT sin cast the first stone". I know some people are saying you shouldn't straddle the fence or in other words you shouldn't be broadcasting your life of sin for the world to see while putting out songs praising God/Christianity, but on that, I would have to agree with a comment someone wrote on another website, her walk with God is HERS alone. God is the ONLY one who has a heaven or hell to put her in. He is the ONLY one who should judge her. We should be looking at the message, NOT the messenger as NO man is perfect or free from some type of sin.

Are Men Really The "Sensitive" Ones?

I have pondered this issue before and even posed the question to my friends on Facebook; do you think men are more insecure than women? Are men really the ones who are sensitive? I ask these questions, more recently due to something I read in a book. The character, Chante' was looking in the dictionary to see if there was a male equivalent for any of the derogatory terms defined for women. Words like slut and whore. She did not, however find any such male equivalents leading her to say that men "dish it, but can't take it". After reading those words, I began to think, you know... There are a lot of things that can "bruise a man's ego" or hurt his "pride". I'll give you a few examples to think about; obviously, if a woman has had more sexual partners, if a woman makes more money, if a woman has more education, if a woman is better at doing something men are "supposed" to be good at just to name a few. Now, don't get me wrong, I know that there are men out there who are so secure within themselves that these things may not bother them one bit, BUT I know that there are, of course, those guys out there who will feel less of a man being with a woman who possesses any of these characteristics. And yes, I also know that there are women who could be just as insecure about these things, but this post isn't about that. Anyway, those were just a few of my thoughts.
