Comments on life
Cleanliness is pure and holy. Hygiene is a personal responsibility if you are morally, mentally and socially stable. If not, those whom accountability and responsibility has been granted should do their job. This is a reference to vulnerable adults and children, etc.
Uncleanliness is a sin. Your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost. Your mind is properly located in your head. Emotions run wild. Be renewed (transformed) by the renewing of your mind. Stop the negativity and think positive. Together we will and we can overcome our present situations. Stop hanging with negative people. Evil communication corrupt good manners.
I am the parent of three adult children. I was co-responsible for their wellbeing and educational development (spiritually, physically, emotionally, socially, economically, residentially, financially).
My grandparents raised me. Grandpa was of African decent and Grandma was of Indian decent. I have my Grandpa’s work ethics: early rise, early to bed. Grandpa took care of us.
Working is not a sin. Parents were responsible for shelter, food, clothing and enforced church and school attendance. I’m 67 years of age. My lunch, books and whatever it took for my development, Grandpa stepped up and worked and paid the expenditures. He was a real man.
We weren’t on welfare. Columbus Brick Company was our welfare. If we were poor, I didn’t know it. We loved each other, ate together, worked together. I started cooking at age 12.
So middle-class, upper-class why should poor people, public schools pay for your education? Stop stealing and taking taxpayers money while their eyes are closed with ignorance or stupidity.
Columbus School District is right. Starkville is right. Covenant is different from a contract. Covenant is a bond from the heart. Contract is paperwork — paper dollars. Marriage is a bond before God and man, with God as the head.
Repent and tell the truth. Truth sets us free. All students are important.
