Profiting from Others' Misfortunes

By: Téa

As I sorted a stack of papers this week, I found a February 2008 MLS print-out, advertising a 4 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home, 3000 sq ft , and a 3 car garage. Because it was a short-sale, according to the agent, the listing price was only $300,000. Fast forward to November 2008. A 6 bedroom, 4 bathroom, 3800 sq ft, 3 car garage home in the same neighborhood is listed at $175,000. That's what a glut of foreclosures has done to the area.

Gospel Pop Culture: Kanye West "Jesus Walks" (part 1)

By: Téa


(Jesus Walks)
God show me the way because the Devil trying to break me down
(Jesus Walks with me)
The only thing that I pray is that me feet don't fail me now
(Jesus Walks)
And I don't think there is nothing I can do now to right my wrongs
(Jesus Walks with me)
I want to talk to God but I'm afraid because we ain't spoke in so long.

Overflowing with gospel topics, any discussion of "Jesus Walks" by Kanye West warrants more than one post. Part 1 focuses on the personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Part 2 explores what we believe about how "Jesus walks" with other people. Part 3 deals with Kanye's thoughts on religion in the music business and society at large. (Please note that these posts will not cover the initial parts of the narrative talking about crime and interacting with the police)

Kanye's lyrics touch on various different sides of our relationship with our Savior.

Say Amen to His Priesthood Until He Does His Home Teaching? Say What?!?

By: Téa

It's the first time I'd ever seen the Bishop stop a meeting to clarify and correct doctrine. It was a few minutes after another first: me skipping out on a meeting to report to him what had happened.

Misguided, well-meaning, confused, there are all sorts of 'polite' words one can use in this situation. I adore my Bishop's plainspoken style--Brother B was just WRONG. But I am getting ahead of myself by about 20 minutes, so let's rewind.
