I've never been one to chase after trends (leave that to the newbies and the novices) but something came across my desk today that made me ask "Am I living in the real world?"
Paris Hilton is planning to head to Rwanda.
Maybe she saw some clips of Don Cheadle's Academy Award nominated turn in the film,'Hotel Rwanda.'
Or maybe she's getting it mixed up with the name of that other popular hotel chain.
Whatever it is, it's definitely grist for the mill.
According to E!, the over exposed hotel heiress/adult video star/ex-convict said that she is planning a fall trip to Rwanda as "part of her new, post-jail commitment to bring the spotlight to what she feels are important causes around the world."
"I'll be going in November, after I get back from filming my movie," Hilton said as she was boarding a plane to film her new role in the horror-musical flick 'Repo! The Genetic Opera.'
"There's so much need in that area, and I feel like if I go, it will bring more attention to what people can do to help," she continued.
Move over Angelina Jolie! There's a new ambassador in town.
The 'Simple Life' sexpot apparently was originally invited to visit Rwanda by Scott Lazerson, co-founder of Playing for Good, the organization aimed at helping high-end business and entertainment personalities become involved in a variety of charities benefiting children and families in need.
"I want to visit more countries where poverty and children's issues are a big concern," the scandal-ridden socialite said. "I know there's a lot of good I can do just by getting involved and bringing attention to these issues."
Well, there it goes: my first (and last) Paris Hilton piece.
It's official; I'll write about anything -- like the hack I once was called by a high ranking music executive (who kept trying to convince me it was "a good thing").

She want some more black schlong(preferable 26 inches since her pussy is deep as hell and since she has been in jail she is extra horney),so she must go to junglebunnieville and get her some from the native. At least she is not fucking the hired help like that slut Madonna did,or some damaged merchandise like Halle Berry got knocked up by.

These so-called do-goodie white folks kill me. Paris goes to Rwanda. Now ain't that a bitch? It's roughly 25 miles and a 30-minute drive from Beverly Hills to Compton/Watts. No, that won't do. No clout in California, but po-lenty in Rwanda huh? KMA. Can't wait until I see the commercial with her in it asking me for $0.37 a day.

HEAVEN
Heaven is the dream and desire of all the saints throughout the ages. Its the place we all consider our home, one that we long for. Peculiar in a way, that we are homesick for a home we have yet to even visit!
When you think of 'Heaven' what's the first word that comes to mind? Well, there are innumerable answers to that question, and no single one is the correct one.
What I think of is 'harmony'. The very opposite of what we so often experience in this world, that is, disharmony. While I certainly don't espouse New Age thought, the idea that when the body is in disharmony, it gets sick has a measure of truth to it.
Disharmony is seen in cataclysmic storms like hurricanes and tornados. It's seen politically in wars and national strife. We observe it in times of economic depression when certain interest groups desire things opposed to by the general public. Disharmony is what started this existence of sin: Lucifer was no longer in harmony with the will and plan of God, and in the great symphonic orchestra of creation and the Plan of God, Satan struck a series of discordant notes that disrupted the entire score.
Harmony however will be restored. The Music of the Messiah will resound and overcome all opposition until it is finally silenced, and in the reign of righteousness all things will conform to the Divine Will which seeks the Way of Peace and Love and Joy for all God's creatures.
There will be an end to strife, contention, frustration and wrath. The lion will lay down with the lamb! Of course the lion lays down with the lamb today as well, the only difference is the lamb is INSIDE of the lion!
A result of the disharmony disaster that is sin, is the fatigue and weariness of life that began when Adam harvested thorns and thistle, and Eve gave birth in pain. The LORD Jesus Himself declares "Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke [is] easy, and my burden is light." Matthew 11: 28-30
In heaven when we see the LORD face to face, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is, and we shall know Him even as we are known of Him! 1st John 3:2; 1 Cor. 13:12.
Such revelation and understanding will dissolve all conflicts of confusion, will melt away all sorrows, wash away all pain of loss and regrets. The harmony we will know on that Day will be the accord with which we shall love and worship the LORD Jesus, in absolute and total agreement in our proclamation that He is indeed WORTHY of our worship and praise and thanksgiving.
We are admonished in the Word to keep the unity of the faith, a certain means of harmony within the body of Christ. Note it doesn't say obtain or acquire unity of the faith, but to KEEP. One cannot KEEP something one does not already possess. With such an emphasis among churches and even world religions for UNITY, we Christians posses unity already and only have to MAINTAIN this unity of the faith ('the' faith refers to that body of doctrine that's recorded in holy scripture) in accord to what the BIBLE says. Regardless of what euphemism says today, DOCTRINE IS IMPORTANT and is the means by which we can keep the unity of the faith, via the Holy Spirit. Eph. 4:3, 13
This harmony is something we can know today; this very day you can taste the joy of heaven. How? Its simple, if done by the power of the Holy Spirit, Whom EVERY Christian has access to. WALK IN THE SPIRIT, and you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh! For is not this sinful, carnal, lustful flesh the source of all disastrous disharmony of sin and destruction?
WALKING in the SPIRIT is walking in harmony with the will and accord of the LORD Jesus, it is putting on the mind of Christ, it is following in the footsteps of our LORD: accomplished ONLY by the power of the Spirit Who resides in us as a result of our spiritual regeneration, aka being born again.
Together, you and I, as children of the Living God, disciples of the LORD Jesus, the ONLY Way, Truth and Life that leads to the Father, can participate in the grand orchestra that is integral to the plan that the LORD has scripted for all of us, writing each note on the music bars of said orchestration.
So lets make some beautiful music together, inspired by our LORD, a melody and harmony so infectious that others will be drawn to that music, and persist in playing this music from here to Heaven, the place of absolute harmony! Amen!
People you are not really feeling me at all here, because you only have one thing on your mind and this is to find a man to please your flesh and needs. real men who love God need more that a woman with good looks and a hot body, they come dine a dozen. All I here these days is people who love only the people they know, But what if Christ die just for the Jews only and not for the world?
Where are the Women with a purpose driven life to help other for Christ online or in real life?
Most Women and Men are only for self and pleasing their self, I call it like it is group > they are only for Me, Myself, and I and no one or nobody else. If you think your body , looks will last forever, please think again, baby you are getting Old each day God blesses you to wake up.
What more do I need to say? God bless Bishop James & Betty R Winfree
