#WednesdayWisdom #015: Domestic Violence in the Church Can’t Always Be Prayed Away…
I already completed today’s #WednesdayWisdom. All I had to do was proofread and post. Then I saw this report about gospel singer, James Fortune’s, guilty plea to third degree felony assault for assaulting his wife back in 2014. Given my last rant about Israel...
#WednesdayWisdom #014: CHRISTIANS: Stop Being Afraid to Judge Others According to God’s Principles and Truths
Last week, I posted a Facebook article about gospel singer, Israel Houghton’s, divorce from his wife of 20 years. I commented about my disappointment that he didn’t fight hard enough to save his marriage. I’m not going to reiterate my position (you can read my...
#WednesdayWisdom #013: MEN…Don’t Be Eaten Alive By A Strong Black Woman
After Jill Scott's said this, every man needs to read the book His Leadership Her Trust if you don't want to be EATEN ALIVE by a strong black woman. It's not a game. Strong black women are not to be trifled with. They have been forged through the burning sands of...
#WednesdayWisdom #012: The Absolute Best Explanation of What His Leadership Her Trust Means
Happy #WednesdayWisdom!!! When I came up with the name ‘His Leadership Her Trust’ for my blog in 2013, I knew a lot of people would attach their own understanding to what 'His Leadership' means…and the conditions under which ‘Her Trust’ applies. That’s fair. I...
#WednesdayWisdom #011: Is Beyoncé’s ‘Formation’ the new ‘Say it Loud, I’m Black and I’m Proud’?
FINALLY! I’ve been waiting for one of our mega-popular R&B, pop, or rap stars make a song that speaks to the racial, social, and political problems ailing the African American community. I’m glad it was the biggest diva of them all. Beyoncé performed her new...

I need some desperate help in order to save my relationship with my girlfriend. We have been together for a little over 3yrs and our relationship seems to built around our ability to take care of each other on business. We both have come out of bad marriages and when we met we both fell hard for each other. I have one 20 yr old son and an older stepdaughter, while Kalima has a 17yr handicap daughter a 14yr old daughter who lives with her father and a 5yr and 11yr old. I thought I was ready to jump back into family life after my wife passed in 2014, but I have let my so called life experience cause me to become complacent. On top of that I have been drinking more than usual, and it has caused a great strain on our relationship as well as my children. She thinks that I don’t love her enough to care, but I felt that my 24yrs of marriage should speak for itself….WRONG. I need to learn how to be a better partner and live a long life with her, somehow I just can’t seem to figure it out. We have had two sessions of relationship counseling but I allowed my drinking to be an excuse not to go back. And even if she may not want to participate right now I feel if she sees me trying it will help to resolve some of our differences. Also after 18yrs with one company I was let go in 2015. I work as an independent contractor for a courier service so I spend alot of time driving.
