CEO's Blog, Conversations Of A Sistah, What she said

If Your Pastor is single…he’s OUT OF ORDER!! Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

Jamal Bryant

Why is a single pastor OUT OF ORDER? Because marriage is considered a normal state, the married pastor has the protection of his wife. Not his mother, lover or undercover brother but the protection of his wife.

Your married pastor is supposed to have the status of a leader in the home, the fulfillment of the marital relationship and thus the freedom to relate to the congregation as one who is already committed within the covenant of marriage. Your pastor should also be one who is able to serve as a model for other men within the congregation and the watching community. If he (your pastor), is NOT operating within all of these and more, he’s OUT OF ORDER!!!

In 2012 I semi-addressed this topic in a blog post as to why I would not belong to a church where the Pastor is single. Why? Because I believe in this particular leadership position, one ought to have a partner to be an example for its members that; love, faithfulness and heterosexual relationships are God’s ultimate plan for man.

I had the pleasure of attending his cathedral when he first opened it many years ago on the cusp of Pert Amboy, New Jersey. Today in 2014, this man has one church but now in three (3) locations; Perth Amboy, Asbury Park and Plainfield, NJ.

He heralds from East Orange, New Jersey growing up in Scotch Plains, Bishop Donald Hilliard (pictured above) is senior pastor of Cathedral International in Perth Amboy, New Jersey and the published author of fourteen self-help and inspirational books (Somebody Say Yes, A Safe Harbor Begins @ Home, How Daddy Can Make A Difference, After The Fall: Resurrecting Your Life From Shame, Disgrace and Guilt, Journal Your Journey: This Too Will Pass, 55 And Counting.

Conversations Of A Sistah, Police Shooting, Racial tension, racial unrest

Are we on the verge of another race riot? Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

The ReadyWriter

RACE-RIOTS

There are some details and incidents about racial unrest recently here in the United States.

In April 1992, one of the nation’s largest bouts of racial violence came behind the acquittal of four Los Angeles police officers who were videotaped beating unarmed Rodney King in April 1992. When that unrest subsided, 53 people had been killed and more than 2,000 had been injured. Property damage was estimated at $1 billion dollars or more.

Over the past 30 years, all hell has broken loose on numerous occasions, the most recent of course being the headline-grabbing racial unrest in Ferguson, Missouri. Compared to previous incidents, Ferguson has been pretty rough both in terms of its duration and the number of arrests involved.

These racial unrest was roiled after 18-year-old Michael Brown, an unarmed teen, who was black, was shot and killed by Darren Wilson, a white police officer, on Aug. 9.

If justice and fairness does not begin with the arrest of the police officer who killed Mike Brown, race riots might very well ensue again. Black males, who have recently been gunned down, wrestled down and/or killed by white men and/or white police officers who claim “reasonable fear” or “self-defense” as their defense, is becoming a weak or repeated cover.

Join me tonight at 8:00 PM on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via “Conversations Live” as I discuss “Are we on the verge of race riots in America 2014?”.

I will also be taking your calls on the subject at 1-347-426-3645, just press “1” to speak with the host.

Conversations Of A Sistah, Happiness, Health, Tracy L. Bell

What would make you happy? Tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah”

Happiness-Hands1

Researchers have been digging up hard data on a question previously left to philosophers: What makes us happy? For some it’s money, attitude, culture, memory, health, altruism, and our day-to-day habits that affect our well-being.

However, the emerging field of positive psychology is bursting with new findings that suggest your actions can have a significant effect on your happiness and satisfaction with life. Good or bad, happy or sad, we all have to live with the decisions that we make.

Recently in a letter I received from one of my loyal Ceo bloggers and listeners they stated:

Dear Ms. Bell,

What makes us happy? My girlfriend seems to think that she can only be happy unless she’s in a relationship, outside of that nothing else matters to her. And she’s constantly comparing herself to other woman regarding looks, accomplishments and success.  Until I asked her one day: what would truly make you happy? She couldn’t answer me.

Because we BOTH love your online show, please, please address this as a “Conversations Of A Sistah” show topic. Thank you I will await the subject.

Per request, join me tonight on “Conversations Of A Sistah” via “Conversations Live” as I discuss and ask the question: “What would make you happy?” I will also share the top ten (10) things scientist say will make you happy. 🙂
