SUNDAY'S INSPIRATION

Daily Word — Sunday, May 24, 2009
CHRIST LIGHT
I am energized and ready to take on the day.
The light of Christ shines within me, revealing that every challenge is an opportunity for me to give expression to divine wisdom that is at the core of my being.
Conscious of the spirit of Christ within, I leave all the challenges and concerns that appear during a day with that day. I begin each morning anew, energized and ready to take on the day.
To maintain the momentum, I place any concern or apprehension that surfaces into the light of Christ. I affirm: Christ in me is more powerful than any appearance of a challenge to my mind and body.
My thinking is clear. My conversations are meaningful. My body is energized. I am confident and courageous.
"For it is the God who said, รข€˜Let light shine out of darkness,' who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ."--2 Corinthians 4:6

HAPPY EARTH TO "SKELY DOUBLE-U"


TODAY IS SKELY'S B-DAY. WE ALL WOULD LIKE TO WISH HIM A GREAT B-DAY. GOD BLESS & MANY, MANY MORE TO COME. EVERYONE FEEL FREE TO DROP SKELY SOME LUV ON HIS BORN DAY.

Rules change. The game remains the same.

Here is one of television's most critically acclaimed programs, the Peabody Award-winning drama series 'The Wire' challenged viewers with a "cop show" unlike anything on air. The show started in 2002.

Sunday's Inspiration



A lot of us can be busy building the kingdom but have forgotten the King. We can actually be doing "good" but not actually obeying God.

This is a little tricky because after all, God wants us to do good, to be a blessing and to be at work in the ministry. And yes, that's true! Don't take me wrong, God is glorified with all your labor of love for him. (1 Cor. 15:58) Saul was also doing everything that's good. In 1 Sam 15:20-21, Saul said "But I did obey the LORD," "I went on the mission the LORD assigned me. I completely destroyed the Amalekites and brought back Agag their king. The soldiers took sheep and cattle from the plunder, the best of what was devoted to God, in order to sacrifice them to the LORD your God at Gilgal." But he was rebuked by Samuel saying "Does the LORD delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the voice of the LORD ?"(1 Sam. 15:22)
Saul was doing what he thinks is good. Saul rationalized that even though God commanded to destroy everything, the plunder they brought would still be acceptable as it will still be offered to God. He failed to obey what exactly God wants him to do. This failure led him to be rejected as King.

In the same way, we can be very busy at ministering, helping the sick, donating to charities and doing "good" based on our understanding but not actually obeying God's will for our lives.

Let's seek God's will in our lives during our time alone with Him and assuredly He'll direct you to what He wants to do in a clear manner and know that His will is good, perfect and pleasing for you.(Romans 12:2) And If you seek him, you will find him(Jer. 29:13)

Today, we wanna introduce a real nice restaurant around the corner from The Wagon. This is by far the best restaurant in the neighborhood. The mini burgers and fries are great, and so are the new friendly owners. They play great music and open pretty late. The bar is magnificent. Try there Nuvo and Grey Goose mix. Feel free to check them out.

Partners make a deal



When racking up the stripes and solids on the table everyman must place his wager.Spag said "show me the money",while Ju denied.Only to raise the stakes much higher and go for the sentimental value.The idea of losing your Vintage original ICEBERG sweater in a game of pool sounds painful.Well back in 1998 when only a few rappers were wearing the brand,a new sub-culture was created in the streets.Ju at first glance immediately declared ownership and acquired a massive collection.Spag who was already collecting POLO & FILA began adding some HISTORY to his wardrobe.The Buzz which turned into a disease, plagued the streets of new york.Kids were hustling & scrambling to stay ahead of the game,some people who never stole began to after seeing the price tags of these items.Stores like ATRIUM,S&D's,and UNTITLED were the one stop shops to obtain some fly iceberg.If there was a party coming up you had to gather your pennies to get new pieces.There were even times when it was more than just competitive,it was an all out war.High schools BOYS & GIRLS,ERASMUS HALL were two of the most fashion savvy schools in Brooklyn.SPAG & JU were definitely involved in these fashion wars in the high school community.Due to high demands and hype the movement/sub-culture began to change.Bootlegging became an extreme problem.Some felt that the bootlegging single-handedly destroyed the brand.

By 2001 all of the true collectors were turned off and moved on to bigger and better things.So though it was short lived it was a great time and beautiful collections.The design concepts of your favorite Disney characters placed on lambswool and cashmere sweaters were classic.Today in 2009 you might still catch people digging in their archive for ICEBERG classics...sentimental value is priceless....

Plaid Threads

Another brand viewed at the Circuit Intermezzo show with a great cut for men is J.A.C.H.S. The brand has some real tasteful button ups for guys this spring/summer. Real clean, great with white pants. Plaid was cool during the fall, so we think its going to last another season or two. What do you think? Feel free to leave a comment.

On the Grind


Last week, at the Circuit Intermezzo show we viewed a real cool new brand name Blank. These are a few of the denim shorts we checked out. The fit is great ladies. Leave a comment and let us know what you think.
