Reviewing The Book Meeting Jesus Again For The First Time’

photography of clouds and forest trees

I decided to read “Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time” by Marcus J. Borg. I would like to start this by saying, I will be reading this book again to be able to research his notes further. Borg ends each of his chapters with notes that support the context of each chapter. I loved that Borg approached this book similar to a research paper. Many books regarding spirituality are typically written with quotes or context from the related religious text but Borg spent a great deal of time researching his points to share his thoughts with us. I believe this is more valuable than an open letter about meeting Jesus because I was needing to find Jesus again, you would have to provide someone like me with concrete support. Simply saying Jesus is real or giving a simple quote would not be enough for me as a reader. For…

How Good Do You Have To Be Book Review

good vibes only text

Reflecting on the book “How Good Do We Have to Be” by Harold S. Kushner reminded me of a concept my high school religion teacher taught me. He would say that most people see God in the same way that they see Santa, SantaGod. Kushner’s book really emphasized and opened up my eyes to this concept even more. I appreciated Kushner’s approach to the book may be far better than I did in “Living a Life That Matters.” Kushner wrote this book for people who have suffered a great tragedy that may be unexpected in hopes of reminding them of their faith. Kushner starts this book with chapters discussing much of why people suffer. Many of the ideas and concepts of suffering were related to similar ideas and concepts in other religions. I believe suffering is universal and people feel it in a multitude of ways. Most of the ways…

The Universe Is Always a Better Teacher Than You being Spiteful

yellow flower under blue sky during daytime

Ya’ll, I used to be so spiteful. I would try to teach people lessons by using spite. Growing up I was the youngest kid on my block. Now it was never more than 6 kids total but for most of my childhood, it was 3 of us. My brother is the oldest, my neighbor being closer in age to him and me trailing my brother by a whole ass 5 years. You already know that most of it were spent with me being “too little” to do anything. But you see, I was mostly the brains behind our operations. So, when we had creative ideas we wanted to explore I was the spark despite being “too little.” Storytime! We decided to build a lemonade stand and the guy who owned the corner store down the hill said that we could set up outside the store. We built this dope ass…

Why You Should Avoid This Popular Restaurant for Brunch Because it’s Not Good

white ceramic bowl with food

If you follow my Tik Tok you will know that I am a foodie. I love going to different restaurants, bars, and places where ever I am but especially when I am home in Nashville. If you don’t know by now, my favorite meal of the day is brunch. Brunch is the perfect meal for adults because breakfast is too early for the weekend and lunch is too boring. You have never heard someone say, “let’s meet for lunch” on a Saturday or Sunday because it’s lame and for the weekdays. Brunch comes with options for breakfast, options of lunch, drinks, fashion and the most important part being social. Is there any meal better than brunch? Brunch is for the baddies, the hungover, the social, and the foodies. The last thing I love about brunch is that it is completely hard to be bad at making brunch. The worst of…

BEST Jordans to Have in Your Closet Now

sneakers lot

Being able to cop a pair of Jordan’s used to mean standing in line all morning on a Saturday to find out if you are Charlie and have won a golden ticket. That next Monday, you knew who was able to cop a pair. Growing up, it was never me, my parent’s never found value in spending “that kinda money” on shoes. I took that into my adulthood but truthfully, I always wanted some J’s. Now, that is never an issue because I cop the shoes I want when I want. Am I the biggest sneakerhead in the world, no, and no I don’t have a wall full of Jordan’s. I wear what I like and sometimes those are Jordan’s. A quick sidebar, Jordan’s are basketball shoes and I played basketball my entire childhood until college. People actually hooped in these. I wish folks would get back to hoopin in…
