Dear Joel Osteen, Is Being a Sellout Shepherd Your Ministry?
It’s been a long while since I’ve written a sternly-worded letter. Clearly, I am overdue. I have been spurred to write one because of an interview that popular pastor, Joel Osteen, gave on the radio in October 2015 (5 months ago), where he basically placed a stamp of approval on Donald Trump, …
Petty Prayers You Might Need One Day
There are times when people make you so mad that you just want to wish bad things on them. But not really bad things like cancer because that would be evil and your name is not Voldemort. I’m talking about the petty things that will grind their gears and annoy …
Some People Shouldn’t Be Allowed to Say the Grace When It’s Time to Eat
One of the things that those of us who are Christian hold dear as a tradition is the pre-meal prayer. We want to make sure that we ask God to bless what we are about to consume, so that it can be well and all that good stuff. BUT… some people use …
Because You Need 75 New Ways To Say “Fix It, Jesus”
Phaedra Parks of Real Housewives of Atlanta blessed us all with her concern during one of the RHOA reunion shows. Kenya Moore the Terrible and Porsha Williams the Simple were arguing when Anointed Attorney Parks shook her head and said “Fix It, Jesus,” winning the show and giving us a …
Dear Fellow Christians, About This Christ Crutch We Use to Justify Foolery…
I just feel like I need to talk to my faith-similar folks for a second. Dear Christians, I’m a life-long Christian and I was raised by a village of protectors and guardians who included my Grandmother, a lover of the Lord (with all her heart and soul). She taught me that being …
Westboro Baptist Better Have a Gahtdamb Seat!
Westboro Baptist is a boil on all of our collective asses. They’re to Christians what those Jim Crow cartoons from the 1920s are to Disney. We try to dust them under our shoe and act like we don’t know them. But like the roaches they are, they stay coming back. …
Nigerian People are Prayer Warriors and These Videos Have Me Howling
I’m getting ready for my trip to Nigeria all this week so I won’t have a chance to write a lotta posts. BUT foolery still surrounds me and I must share it with y’all. Us Nigerian people are a passionate lot, and we love us some Jesus (well, those who …
This Winter Weather is a Fool But This Prayer Has Me Cackling
To say this winter has been rough is like saying Idris Elba is a little bit handsome. NAWL! It’s a gross understatement! This has been the first time I’ve seriously thought about breaking up with Chicago via a post-it note by the night stand in the middle of the night. …
Whose Reverend is this Threatening Me in the Name of Jesus?
It is that time of the year again: when people use Martin Luther King Jr.’s image inappropriately for club flyers. MLK ain’t march to be the image of “Freaky Fridays” at the local disco. STAHP IT EVERYONE! I already wrote about this last year but more flyers have emerged for …
Tina Fey’s Prayer For Her Daughter is Hilarity
I am a HUGE fan of Tina Fey. She’s one of my sheroes (along with her BFF Amy Poehler). I wanna be their third wheel so bad. They’re the main reason I even feel like watching the Golden Globe Awards tonight. Last year, I read Tina’s book Bossypants and it’s …
