Today, Michael Jackson suffered cardiac arrest and was rushed to the hospital in L.A., where he was later pronounced dead. He was 50 years old, bringing almost 45 years of record-breaking (barrier-breaking) music to the world. Our prayers are with the Jackson family. He will be incredibly missed.

How In The Hell Did You Escape?
by Damainion Ewell
“Then Saul sought to pin David to the wall with the spear, but he slipped away from Saul’s presence; and he drove the spear into the wall. So David fled and escaped that night” (1 Samuel 19:10, NKJV).
The lives that many people live today are the direct result of the environment in which they once resided in. Oftentimes, people carry the heavy burden of sorrow and unhappiness with them into adulthood, and they seemingly cannot escape the jail of yesterday’s tragedy. Life has a cruel and malicious way of teaching us things, and many times we have seen the same scenes reenacted time and again. Somehow, we find ourselves doing the same thing, looking for the end result to be different. But, in the end, the final scene is the same as before, and we leave ourselves open to unnecessary pain and confusion. Lessons should be learned, but it is up to us whether they will be ascertained easily or the hard way.

Believing Big
By Kimberly Cash Tate
I’m a practical person by nature. Left to myself, I’ll make sensible choices. Careful, planned, I-can-see-where-this-is-going kinds of choices. College. Law school. Clerkship. Law Firm. I was living my planned life. I could see the trajectory clear to retirement.
But that was all before I knew the Lord.

It Is Written
by Becky DeWitt
Your life is by design, written by the Creator of all things. The blueprint was in existence before you were. Every sentence in every paragraph of each chapter of your book of life contains the secrets, mysteries, and revelations of His plan for you. So there is nothing about you or nothing that happens to you that surprises God!
You may be surprised about those things that have manifested and yet to be revealed. Just remember who wrote your book. “You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit. How I was sculpted from nothing into something. Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth; all stages of my life were spread out before you. The days of my life were all prepared before I lived one day.” (Psalm 139:16-The Message).

Persevering Through Road Blocks
by Alvin C. Romer
You consider yourself a good Christian, you pay your tithes, study the word diligently, work to build up the Kingdom and talk to God daily with incessant prayer. During the course of your lifetime you will endeavor to take a trip, traveling to some predestined locale with purposeful intent. Your mind is made up and you need to get there no matter the circumstances. Despite anything that would prevent you from moving forward, you’re on a mission.

Columbus, OH – Despite a bad economy, grant-making organizations have continued to allocate more funding to women this year and for 2010. Grants are often used by women to start or expand a business, attend college, pay off loans, and/or launch a non-profit organization to help other women.
Big organizations, such as the American Association of University Women (www.aauw.org), are already making their 2010 applications available for interested ones to apply for fellowships, career development grants, and community action grants.
