I hope everyone had a safe Halloween weekend. Although I didn’t do anything halloween related, my weekend was awesome. Here are a few photos of some of our favorite celebs showing us their halloween spirit.

Ciara and Lala celebrated Ciara’s birthday halloween style. Ciara was storm (from X-Men) and Lala was a sailor. They both really got into character.

Janet Jackson, Garcelle Beauvais, and Niecy Nash also felt the halloween spirit.

Who had the best costume?

I received such great feedback from my motivation Monday posts the past few weeks that I decided to continue with the words and teaching of my pastor A.R. Bernard. This series will focus on envy.

The words and teachings of A.R. Bernard

Overcoming Envy Pt. 1

For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there.

James 3:16 NKJV 

Happiness and envy are mutually exclusive.  You can be envious, or you can be happy, but you can’t be both envious and happy.  So the choice is yours: You can choose one or the other, but you can’t choose both.

St. Augustine noted, “Whoever possesses God is happy.”  So here’s a simple suggestion that is guaranteed to bring you happiness: Fill your heart with God’s love, God’s promises, and God’s Son… and when you do so, leave no room for envy, hatred, bitterness, or regret.
