So it is an understatement to say that this tragedy has hit me hard. I am praying for the lives affected by this storm and I pray that they will be able to pick up the pieces of their lives. May God be with them. #PrayForOklahoma <3

#Pray For Oklahoma
I have been watching and reading news reports all day about the tornado that ripped through Oklahoma. And it hit me hard that it could easily be anyone including me and my family. Watching those people that lost everything and hearing that so many little kids lost their lives is really messing with me. Questions are going through my mind. Are we prepared? Where would we go? What would we do? Memphis sees this type of weather all the time. And as I write this post, a tornado warning is in affect and news reporters are warning us to be prepared. So this is really getting to me.

Are We Safe Anywhere?
This morning when I checked Twitter, I discovered that there was a mass shooting in Colorado. So I started reading tweets from everyone. And I found out that a man, James Holmes, who was studying for Ph.D in Neuroscience, opened fire in a Colorado movie theater and killed 12 people and injured 59 others. This really hit me hard and felt too close for comfort. Not that I live in Colorado or even close, but close because of the venue where the shootings took place.
The fact that this all went down in a movie theater, really made me uneasy. I love going to the movies and consider myself a frequent movie-goer. So when I read that someone shot up a place that I go to alot, it freaked me out. Movie theaters are already dark, creepy, and boxed in, now we have to worry about getting shot?
But on a real serious note, I am praying for the victims and their families. Who every expects to be killed or injured in a presumably safe place like a theater? Is anywhere safe these day? We all really need to pray!

Discipline or Abuse?
These days it is hard to talk about discipline without people thinking of you as a child abuser. Discipline and abuse are often used as interchangeable words and they couldn’t be anymore different. So what is the difference?

What are Bath Salts?
I have been hearing a lot about bath salts lately and I am not talking about the ones you buy from Bath and Body Works. I’m talking about the new drug that apparently caused a man to become a cannibal and eat another man’s face off in Florida. And that’s just one of the latest stories involving this drug.
According to articles, bath salts are a man-made, synthetic drug made from amphetamine-like chemicals and causes a unique combination of effects on the brain. Like zombie attacks. And it is being called the “new LSD.”
It really is scary, because statistics are showing that more and more people are trying bath salts. This statistic scares me because if this is how people act on this drug, then God have mercy! We might have a zombie apocalypse on our hands.
