Let the DIALOGUE Begin!

Sunday, June 29, 2014

Well Wha'da'ya'know...

Wow! So I guess it's fair to say that today is a great day for celebration. I didn't realize until JUST NOW that this is The Dialogue Den's 300th post! Whoo hoo, and yay for me! Yeah, I said it. Yay for me!!!

In spite of the fact that my blog has very few followers and/or commenters...I've continued to write. Not always consistently, but nonetheless...I've continued. My very first post was on SUNDAY, JUNE 20, 2010...Wow! Four years and nine days ago. I didn't know then where I'd be today, but I can truly say that I'm glad I'm here. It's been quite a ride.

So yeah...hats of to ME. Heck...if you can't toot your own horn, who will toot it for you? So...I'm tootin'!

I have a few things to write about today so I guess I'll make this a bit of a smorgasbord.

I think I'll start off with this morning's church service. I love my church family. I've been a member of my church for over 20 years. Although there have been some bumpy spots along the way, all in all, we are FAMILY through Christ Jesus.

Similar to biological families, there are sometimes disagreements and division among the members. My Pastor preached from 1 Corinthians 1:10 which reads, "I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought."

It was quite convicting. But he didn't stop with just preaching the message. He had everyone who had an issue with someone in the church to actually get up and go to that person so that it could be resolved...TODAY. Can you imagine?!? It was so powerful. You could feel loads lightening as people went up to each other to "make things right." Some had tears. Some embraced in hugs. Some stepped away privately. Overall, I believe that God was pleased and healing has begun to take place.

Next up: Let's talk about the BET Awards. How 'bout this...I didn't watch'em. Not that I have anything against BET...I just don't have the channel. Can you believe it?!? I mean BET should be included in the most basic of basic cable packages. With DirecTV though, it's not. And I'll be dag-gon if I'm gonna upgrade JUST to have BET. I mean CNN would be worth the upgrade, but an upgrade isn't in this girl's budget. So...I had to settle for getting updates via Facebook. I learned who was "hot" and who was NOT. I learned that Chris Brown has "still got it", and that Robin Thicke wishes he still had it, as in, his wife Paula. Apparently he was begging for her to come back on national television. Not cute. At least according to the comments that my friends were posting. Oh, and then there was the big "NON-finale". I guess everybody was expecting "Bey" and "Jay" to show up and perform, but instead they just "screened in" their performance. Boo!

The last topic I was gonna write about was Social Media and the "beef" that I currently have with it. But I'm not quite ready to "go there" just yet. Tomorrow...maybe.

So, how was YOUR day?

Let the Dialogue Begin: Do you blog? If so, what's the name of it? Share it here for all the world to hear.

Talk to me!

Til next time...

(Day 4/21)
