We can’t all be like Tyler Perry. Paying off more than $43,000 in layaway purchases at TWO metro-Atlanta Wal-Mart locations…But I’m reasonably sure you have 1, 2, 3, and on up of 20 dollar bills that you can spare! (Whatever you can spare would be appreciated I’m sure though even if it’s less than $20.) Y’all know people are still out there shopping for their loved ones and many may just be a liiitttle short. Gospel powerhouse Tasha Cobbs Leonard and her hubby Kenny Leonard are inviting you to stand in the gap and keep a little extra on you in case you notice one of our fellow shoppers (because I will be shopping on today) in that predicament. Or you can just randomly bless someone as the Holy Spirit prompts you! Take part in the #20DollarBillChallenge!
And because Christmas music playing in the mall gets me in the mood to shop, here’s a hit from my hubby’s hometown of Gary, Indiana!
I know I haven’t posted in about a week but your girl was sick with the flu. I mean I was in-the-fetal-position, hubby-had-to-spoon-feed-soup-to-me-sick, but I’m almost completely well again, praise God! And today’s post got me snorting over here and as the Word says a “joyful heart is good medicine!”
Apparently the gospel powerhouse couple feels there is a void of clean music that Christian couples can listen to the bedroom. So in an effort to continue to commemorate their 30-year wedding anniversary (which has included release of their new memoir, Us Against the World: Our Secrets to Love, Marriage, and Family), the couple has now released their first R&B album “Us Against the World.”
“It was different for me, it was really different, even though I was happy to think about the man that I love [while singing],” Tamela told The Christian Post. “It made me even look at him differently, and in all honesty, we tested it out and it really worked.”
“It’s making baby music,” David interjected about the album.
Produced by the couple and their son, David Mann, Jr., Tamela said her 30-year-old son pegged the album, “back in the day” music. They were so happy to be able to provide a project like this for the body of Christ.
“Even though you knew we were talking about love, it wasn’t nasty love music,” Tamela explained.
All of that sounds good, but Hello Beautiful is reporting that Black Twitter is clowning the clean love music from the Manns…Below are a few of the most hilarious comments in my opinion…
I bet you snorted out your coffee reading those comments, right? LOL
Before you judge, check out the first single “Good Love” below…
So what y’all think? I like the song and I love the Manns, but I’ma be honest, the only man I want in my bedroom is my hubby. The same people who are responsible for taking me to the King won’t help my king take me…I can’t go from hearing you sang blessings and glory and honor, they all belong to You and then you sanging I don’t see nothing wrong with a little bump and grind…
And what’s wrong with “nasty love music” anyway when it comes to what Christian marrieds are doing in the bedroom? The Word says the marriage bed is undefiled so if a Christian couple decides they enjoy “nasty love music” in bedroom, what is wrong with that? And maybe the Bible is even suggesting that Christian couples can listen to songs like Jay & Bey’s “Drunk in Love” in the bedroom?
Have y’all seen this verse?
“She is like a beautiful deer, a lovely fawn. Let her love satisfy you completely. Stay drunk on her love.” Proverbs 5:19
Do you prefer “Good Love” or “Drunk in Love?” Do you prefer clean love music or nasty love music in the bedroom? Or can you listen to Bey & Jay and David & Tamela Mann in the bedroom?
The pastor who has been known for saying stuff that many pastors dare not say in a sermon such as these h**s ain’t loyaltitled his inaugural sermon at New Birth yesterday “Bite Me” according to the AJC. Shelia M. Poole reported that “he warned the congregation of serpents in their midst who want to see them fail, but said they must hold on to their faith and praise God, even in the midst of adversity.”
Below is a video of the entire sermon…
Below is Candice Benbow’s lengthy opinion of about “Bite Me”…
He also announced that New Birth would be back on international television in the New Year, and that at the church’s Watch Night Service on Dec. 31, a big announcement would be made and would be broadcast live on the Word Network! He acknowledged his mother and sister, Dr. Thelma Bryant Davis, who is on OWN’s “Chad Loves Michelle” and 100 of his Kappa Alpha Psi brothers who were in the audience. Some of my Facebook friends were there on yesterday and had good things to say about his first day on the job so to speak.
But Dr. Bryant is not waiting until next Sunday to engage his new congregation again. On Wednesday at 7 p.m., Dr. Bryant is promising an “intimate encounter” in which his new congregation will get to know the pastor outside of the pulpit. Sister Circle’s Rashan Ali is the host for the evening. I wonder if congregants will be able to ask questions to him directly.
Below is a brief video about the upcoming event…
If I attend and am allowed to ask a question, I want to know where did Dr. Bryant get that fabulous Louis Vuitton scarf he wore on V-103 two weeks ago? LOL. I loved it so much that I’m thinking of getting my husband one for Christmas. Shhh. Don’t tell him…
In all seriousness, I would like to know how Dr. Bryant is going to restore public trust in New Birth Missionary Baptist Church outside of the church after the scandal sullied its reputation? Even if you weren’t a member of New Birth, it was respected by a wide swath of people in the community once upon a time. And now, not many people seem to be checking for New Birth anymore. New Birth desperately needs a New Birth…
What do you want to ask him? Don’t be skurred. He may see this blog post and answer your questions!
