Before social networking sites I, like many of you, probably lived in a
vacuum. My thoughts were my own and if I wanted to know what other
people were thinking on any given topic, as a member of the CBS Network
affiliate "press corps" I would just ask.
While waiting for crew scheduling to call this morning (My day-job is flight attendant), I took the opportunity to go through the blogs I've subscribed to in my Google Reader. Now since I don't do this often, I had more than 200+ blogs to scroll through. So as I was scanning I would pause at key phrases that caught my attention. one such blog "The Truth" stated that "Bloomberg says we need more immigrants because they work harder than poor blacks."Now I doubt that Bloomberg actually said that, but you know what - I'm going to go out on a limb and say I agree.
I felt like Madea <---- over there after reading a man had given up on his dreams. He wrote ,"No matter how bad you want something if it isn't in God's plans it isn't going to happen." WAAAA I thought as I reached for the duct tape to wrap up my head to keep it from exploding. If your dreams aren't coming to fruition, please don't blame I AM by saying it isn't I AM's will for you to have what your heart desires. What parent wouldn't do anything and everything in his/her power to help a child's dream come true? None! (Ok maybe the deadbeat parents wouldn't, but that's for another post.)
However, I AM rejoices in our triumphs for we reflect I AM's greatness right here on earth even if it’s an infinitesimal amount.
I AM loves Its creation so very much that I AM has given us humans the greatest gift ever - Free Will combined with Grace...and with that generous gift we can achieve greatness.
"If this is true" you are probably thinking “then why aren’t my dreams coming true?” you ask.
It's simple; you've taken your focus off of your dream.
Often times we lose focus of our goal and replace it with a new one before we've even finished that task at hand. We don't do it intentionally but because we are created in the image of I AM we can conjure up all kinds of thoughts instead of focusing on one thing at a time. We start day dreaming and forget about our current mission...and all of sudden our goal moves out of our reach. It doesn't have to be that way. We can achieve our heart's desire. I AM left basic instructions to show us how we can accomplish our goals.
I'm often reminded of the creative process as it is illustrated in the scriptures. In Genesis, I AM said "Let there be Light"and then light pushed out the darkness (ok so I am paraphrasing - don't get so caught up in semantics - FOCUS!). I AM said "that is good." I AM then move to the next goal.
Do you see a pattern?
...I AM didn't say "oooh, I'll do this light thing and then it will be so bright that maybe I'll get a tan...and then I will…blah blah.
No!
There was thought, word, action followed by peace and contemplation between each goal.
So before you throw up your hands and say I AM doesn't want you to have your desire...Stop, look and see what you've attached to that singular goal.
Have you attached to the goal - all the money you are going to make; all the people who will be impressed; how much money you will be able to tithe when you accomplish this one goal. If that's the case, then you have taken your eye off the goal and you are wandering in the wilderness without direction.
Go back to the genesis of your idea, focus on it and be determined to achieve that one goal. You will succeed. How can you not? After all you have the best heavenly parent in the universe and just like your earthly parents not one wants you to fail.

Think about what happens to your house when you are trying to swat a fly
While testifying
before the federal grand jury on August
17, 1998 regarding his alleged affair with Monica Lewinsky, former president
Bill Clinton had a moment of Zen when he offered testimony defending his response
denying "sexual relations with that woman, Ms Lewinsky."
President Clinton said:
"It depends on what the meaning of the word
'is' is. If the--if he--if 'is' means is and never has been, that is not--that
is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true
statement....Now, if someone had asked me on that day, are you having any kind
of sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky, that is, asked me a question in the
present tense, I would have said no. And it would have been completely true."
Because
of his existential response, lovers engaging in extramarital affairs the
world over would never again have to admit to adultery unless they were caught
in the act.
Fast forward to almost 10 years after that infamous
testimony and we now have the former president's wife, Senator Hillary
Clinton, joining her husband in changing the landscape of our dialect.
This time, determining professional work experience comes under scrutiny.
At the vibrant age of 60, Senator Clinton is claiming 35 years professional
experience in politics. This would include the work experience gained since she was 25 years of age or 26 (give or take a year) until the present.
Maybe it doesn’t matter that she was first
elected to the U.S. Senate in the year 2000. By my calculation that is about 10 years professional
political experience for Senator Clinton including about 2 years of campaigning .
That leaves 25 years for which are unaccounted.
Now if Senator Clinton
believes it's fair to pad her political resume with her years of
experience as a corporate attorney then I counter that office politics
doesn't count. Not even if she was successful at making partner. Another
on-the-job experience disqualifier is “wife of" governor, or "wife
of" president.
I was the wife of a plumber but trust; you don't want me anywhere near your
pipes.
So what "Is" a qualifier for Senator Clinton’s
political work experience? Oh wait, we already had this public discussion; our 42nd
President laid the foundation when he said “It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is'
is"
What I believe IS; we are ready for change - not a change in discourse but a change in policy and a change in leadership. (c) 2008 Mel Hopkins

That's why X, the female chromosome, hates Y. In response, X is constantly throwing all kinds of wicked chemicals at Y. X is killing Y.
Take a look through the microscope, and you can immediately see Y is in trouble. Y is a tiny, crumpled chromosome -- not exactly a proud symbol of manliness. Ever since Y split off from the other chromosomes, some 300 million years ago, its number of genes went down from about 1,000 to 80. How did it ever get so tiny? You guessed it: that's because of the female chromosome's attacks.
Perhaps the most spine-chilling clue comes from the men. As we speak, 1 to 2 percent of all men is infertile because of a malfunctioning Y-chromosome! That doesn't seem like much, but it is an astonishing number, because the defects cannot have been inherited (because they lead to infertility). So in other words: 1 to 2 percent of all men have their Y-chromosome disabled during their life!
