We "SALUTE" You

Yes, today is the Last Day of school and on to the summer vacation; however before this day comes to an end; we feel the: Need, Desire, and the Honor to SALUTE "ALL" the Teachers of the world.

The word of the Lord says this:

ROMANOS 13: 7

RENDER THEREFORE TO ALL THEIR DUE: TAXES TO WHOM TAXES ARE DUE, CUSTOMS TO WHOM FEAR; HONOR TO WHOM HONOR.

As Double P's, this means: Parents and Pastors; we understand and respect the profession of a teacher. The King of Kings has Bestowed upon them the: Gift, Talent, and Patience to assist us as parents in the Endless Task of educating our: Children, Teens, and Young Adolescences.

It's so Concerning and Unsettling to see the way the profession of an educator is disrespected by the same individuals that should be: Listening, Learning, and showing Loyalty to a group of Dedicated men and women that enter unknown Battle Fields called the public schools system.

Our obligation as Double P's: Parents and Pastors is to continue Praying for the Brave men and women that have periodically Encountered: Gang Violence, Thief, and the Disrespect and Disapproval of the parents of their students. Perhaps one day: Students, Parents, and Teachers can "ALL" Embark on the same Journey. However until that day completely arrives; we'd like to THANK all you for assisting: Parents, Grandparents, and other Guidance's in a Positive way.

We say this because God has BLESSED our 4 Diamonds(that's what we call our sons) with the: Kindest, Concerned, Best Role Models that a cerned parent could ever ask for. That's why we SALUTE you ALL; Our: Friends, Son's Teachers, and most of all an Extension to of our Family. You've treated our sons with LOYALITY and in our: Hearts and Minds, we'll always see you like ROYALTY; once again, all of you know who you are.

Have a:Blissful, Safe, and Memorable Summer Vacation...

THANK YOU, ONCE AGAIN FOR LETTING US: Sleep, Work, and Know that our 4 Diamonds are Safe and Loved!!!

BLESSINGS,

WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT???

Alot of you must be Wondering why "THE REAL DEAL" named this Blog/Article "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT"??? It's because as: PASTORS, PARENTS, and RADIO ANNOUNCERS we: Must, Can, and Should "ALWAYS"educate our public.

Carlos and I have been Blissful Married and Blessed with 4 Diamonds(that's what we call our sons) and using the computer for one reason or another; that's what drove us to write this Blog/Article. The location of our computer is in the living room; this way the entire family has access to their constantly it.

Whenever one of our Diamonds are online, the Phrase that you'll hear in our home is; "WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT??? Definitely we feel that it's the Duty and Obligation as such to: ADVISE, GUIDE, and MONITOR their teenagers INTERNET USAGE. Don't worry that perhaps you don't know why we're suggesting this. Just: Understand, Know, and Believe that "THE REAL DEAL" is here to assist you on this Journey.

The Internet has their PROS. and their CONS and here they are....

We're going to discuss with you, Fellow Blogger some Thumbs Up and some Thumbs Down in regard to COMPUTER USAGE... Now here are the Pros or Thumbs Up:

1. Yes it's a Terrific form of Communication that has numerous Functions.


2. In the past when students had a: Term Paper, Research Paper, an Experiment or any type of work that dealt with obtaining a great deal of information; students used to visit the Public Libraries. They would either Borrow the book or make copies of certain material preordaining to their work in order to Obtain a top grade and Out Do their classmates. Now with seconds and in the Comforts your own home Acquiring information isn't an Overwhelming Task anymore.


3. It's also a tool to: email and receive Documents, Complete homework assignments, Pay Bills without the Hustle and Bustle of standing in long lines, you can also watch or listen to Music whenever you wish. Least, Talk and View: family and friends long distance.


4. We're living in the Century of online Chatting and it's in the Peak; because society has invested practically ALL of their: time, money, and in believing that is the BEST way to Meet the soon to be Mr./Mrs. Right.
   

Now let's not forget about the Cons the and the Thumbs Down of Unsupervised Compute Usage. Many of you will Disagree or aren't Aware 0f them, so we'll Glady share them with you.

1. The Pop Ups that feature Adult Contexts are disturbing for our YOUNG MINDS. As double P's(Parents and Pastors) we see it of poor and bad taste for any young person to have to view such Trash.
   
   
2. Most teens now a days are doing the Double W's: Wishing and Wanting someone to LOVE them. Theirs nothing wrong with that; however not everyone that says that their a certain age is telling the TRUTH. It's a sad to say that, but their are individuals that PREY on young and Innocent Minds.



3. If that youth hasn't had a Heart 2 Heart talk with their parents Concerning filling out forms online regarding so called FREEBIES then they will be likely to experience IDENTITY THEFT so: LOVING, PROUD, and PATIENT Parents take advantage of this Summer Vacation and have a POW WOW with your: Youngsters, Bundles of Joy, Off Springs, Teens, or Young Adults to discuss the matter about not being so free with their PERSONAL DATA. O.K.??? Believe it or not, you'll sleep better...

O.K., we've presented you with the Pros and Cons of Unsupervised Teenage Computer Usage; You be the JUDGE!!!

BLESSINGS,

You don't have to "BE SUPER PARENTS"; Just "BE" There!

• A few quick questions for "All" the parents that are reading this Blog:
  

• Do you Communicate with your Teens on a regular bases?
• Have you Hugged or Kissed your son or daughter today?
• Do you know what are their Interests?
• Are they at the Dating Age? If so, do you know who their: Dating, Going to the movies, or just sharing a Happy Meal at McDonald's?
• Does the family have a least DINNER together?

If your score to this Mini Quiz is 2 yes out of a total of 5 questions; then your on the Boarder of losing ALL contact with your: pre teen, teen. or young adult. This may sound Hard to Swallow, but it's the truth.

Statics show the following:

1. Most Gangs are formed because both parents work. Don't take it the wrong way; due to the Recession and prizes Sky Rocketing, one income usually isn't enough.
2. Unplanned PREGNANCIES are a result of parents not discussing the consequences of Being sexually active before your: Mentally, Financially, and Emotionally ready. On occasions young girls want or Desire a baby because they: Need, Want, or Think that this Unborn child will give them UNCONDITIONAL LOVE and useful. We as parents must: Teach, Guide, and Assist in BUILDING our kids SELF ESTEEM; before someone "Knocks it Down." Have you forgotten what it felt like to feel or be Bullied?
3. Finally, we can't or shouldn't forget about PEER PRESSURE. Bullies come in ALL different kinds of: Shapes, Sizes, and so called boyfriends, classmates, and just plan students who just Hang Out on school grounds.

The word of the Lord says this:

PROVERBS 22:6

TRAIN YOUR CHILD IN THE WAY HE/SHE SHOULD GO, AND WHEN THEY ARE OLD THEY WILL NOT DEPART FROM IT.

What the word of the Lord is telling us as PARENTS is to take time out of BUSY SCHEDULES and just get to know our BABIES. In conclusion, don't wait till your: Off Springs, PreTeens, Teens, or as my husband, Carlos and I call our sons(4 Diamonds because their so Valuable to us) to MOVE OUT before you get to know them.

REMEMBER THIS:

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE "SUPER PARENTS", YOU JUST HAVE TO BE A PARENT!!!

BLESSINGS,

Your IN The "ARMY NOW"

Oh Yea, Life is just like an on going

"ON GOING BOOT CAMP";

for anyone that has a breath of Life in them.

Picture this? When All the soldiers are sent into trainning before they are sent "OUT TO WAR". Experienced: Captains, Generals, and other Army Staff are brought together inorder to: Share, Shape, and Conceal that: Shy, Fearful, and Unskilled individual into a "First - Rate Skillful Soldier that: Smells, Hears, and knows how to handle any type of situation that their Comforted with

GOD BLESS: Today, Tomorrow, and Always theos "BRAVO" individuals that left their: Familys, Homes, and Employment to Defend ours. The word of the Lord says this:

PROVERBS 3:6

IN ALL YOUR WAYS ACKNOWLEDGE HIM, AND HE SHALL DIRECT YOUR PATHS.

If a soldier in the army receives and retains what their Superior in the army instructs them; then they shall obtain a grade of an "A" in the WAR ZONE and they'll also return to their Love Ones(Alive).

Bloggers of the world, "Take In" all the trainning that the "BOOT CAMP" of Life offers you; so that when your sent out into the "WAR ZONE"; you'll know how to handle the "THE REAL DEAL".

1. Don't forget this:Whatever Obstacle comes your way see it as a Platfirm to; because it: won't or can't "DESTROY YOU; it can only make you Stronger for the next journey called Life.
2. Remember that we are the: 1st Teachers for our children; if they see that we run and Hide in a Cave, then they'll want to do the same.
3. Finally, open the door to the one that is ALWAYS waiting on the other side for you to OPEN THE DOOR AND LET HIM IN, and that person is the one that can Solve any kind of problem and his name is JESUS CHRIST... If you don't know him let us introduce you to him?

BLESSINGS,

Rainbow Bright

Their's a saying that goes like this:"AFTER THE STORM, FOLLOWS THE CALMINESS".

What the Rainbow symbolizes is that after something: Cruel, Complicated, or Hard to Handle then, succeeds the rays of Sun Light. Think about it, not everything that begins in your life in an: Awful Manner, has to "End Up" the same way. For example, the Lord says this in:

ECCLESIASTES 3:4

A TIME TO WEEP, AND A TIME TO LAUGH. A TIME TO MOURN, AND A TIME TO DANCE.

We're going to give All of you a SNEAK PEAK to what the King of Kings is relaying to you. Perhaps, something is keeping you "Up at Night" and won't let you close your eyes. At that moment your not Grasping what the Lord is trying to reveal to you. However, through our past and present experiences in the Pastoral Ministry and also as Parents, we've seen people have Encounters with the Lord and have resulted in

"Life Changing" Experiences in the following ways:

1. In their Death Beds
2. On Death Row
3. During and after a Divorce
4. Finally, when everything that wasn't supposed to go Wrong, turned into a "Night Mare".

So what are you waiting for to ask the Lord into your: Heart, Life, and Family? Probably your going to continue to put things for tomorrow. Nevertheless, we suggest this; "Don't put off today what you may not have the opportunity to do Tomorrow"? Because Salvation is the opposite of a New Out Fit that doesn't fix just the right. You may wear it once or maybe twice; but you won't feel you "LOOK Good.

Now that's where SALVATION comes in; you'll feel the FLOWING RIVERS of: Joy, Happiness, and last but not least, you'll feel "TRIANQUITY. You'll never want to take off the out fit of SALVATION.

Come on, it's free???

With this we'll conclude this Blog. Now my husband, Carlos has served the Lord for 25 years, I've served the Lord for 23 years, and our 4 Diamonds(sons) were Baptized August of 2008. We won't say you can't have Trials and Tribulations(that's Christian Language for "Hard Times"; but we guaratee you that it won't be as:Jaw Dropping, Hair Pulling, and Eye Popping as if you didn't Serve the Lord.

Remember this, you can't be: Having fun, Have Peace of Mind, or Really comprehend the 3 W's: Who, Why, and What of life without Jesus...

BLESSINGS,

Yes, We're Talking To "YOU"

Parents the end of this school semester is upon us and what's your plans for your teens during the Summer Vacation? If you truly Love your teenager, please sit down with them and discuss the Consequences of one day or night of not "Thinking before Acting". The word of the Lord says the following in the book of:

ECCLESIASTES 12:1

REMEMBER NOW YOUR CREATOR IN THE DAYS OF YOUR YOUTH. BEFORE THE DIFFICULT DAYS COME, AND THE YEARS DRAW NEAR WHEN YOU SAY; "I HAVE NO PLEASURE IN THEM.

What the Lord is telling the Youths and their Parents is to Really think before they take any type of STEP that will seem as if your going to obtain SATISFACTION and in the "LONG RUN" you'll be "WEEPING ENDLESSLY"; so Please SORT OUT your: THOUGHTS, FEELINGS, and GOALS Slowly and Carefully? Take the advice from:

1. Pastors that have Counseled unwed teen Parents and their parents.
2. Furthermore, we're Parents of 4 teenage boys; who's friends have Confided in them and Us because everyone else has TURNED their backs on them; Especially their parents......

Finally, from a "HAPPILY Married Couple of 21 years, and BLISSFULLY BLESSED with 4 Diamond Sons that has: Witnessed, Felt, and Rejoiced in listening to someone, who ONCE said, Yes, We're Talking To YOU".You'll be glad you did!!!

BLESSINGS,

HEAVY "LOAD"

What's going on with you? Can't: eat, sleep, or pay the bills? You've lost your Peace of Mind due to your circumstances.

Do you feel as if theirs a HEAVY "LOAD" on top of you all the time? If so, God has sent "THE REAL DEAL" to aid you, during those ROUGH PATCHES.

The word of the Lord says in the book of:

MATTHEW 11:28

COME TO ME, ALL WHO LABOR AND ARE LADEN, AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST.

You may think that the world is going to END before everything falls into place; but that's not true!!! You: can't, won't, and shouldn't try to fix everything on your own. That's the job of the Prince of Peace and now us because as his Servants; "THE REAL DEAL" we've been sent by the Man from Above to: Guide you through those ROCKY moments.

So look up in the sky: It's a Bird, It's a plane, NO it's not Superman; it's the one who can Untie the Knots of your life.
Blessings,

"THE BEST IS YET TO COME"

The sun is a symbol that represents a "New Beginning". We say this because the Bible tells us in the book of:

PSALM 30:5

WEEPING MAY ENDURE FOR A NIGHT, BUT JOY COMES IN THE MORNING.

Now what the Lord is telling you is that even if during the late hours of the night you can't sleep because your mind is fulled with "Problems"; don't fear, because in the morning the King of Kings will direct you and also Shower you with "Peace of Mind".

We truly love the saying "That the Sun Shines for Everyone", because sometimes people think that only good happen to certain individuals. However that's not correct; when something: pleasant, good, or unexpected occurs in any ones life it's because our Heavenly and Spiritual God is a Merciful Father.

So no matter what you may be undergoing, just remember that the Lord is waiting for you to ask for his help and that "The Best Is Yet to Come" . That's the great think about him, he'll never forsake us. He's Amazing and always on time.

Blessings,

The Cross Roads of LIFE

Life bestows upon each individual: opportunities, challenges and obstacles for them to overcome. During this process called maturity, we tend to embrace it in different ways. Nevertheless, every door that opens or closes is considered a form of transformation and a platform for us as individuals to SHINE ...

We're going to share with all of you a secret that will assist you in your time of: sorrow, confusion or when your at the Cross Roads of LIFE ... Just pretend that your giving advice to someone else, instead of yourself.

Deep down in side you know that it's really you that's standing at the Cross Roads of LIFE ... However if you try to see someone else in your shoes then it might be a bite easier to come to an honest determination of what's the best outcome.

Utilizing this type of self evaluation method when you find yourself approaching a so called Dead End will bring about POSITIVE results. Regarding this matter the word of the LORD says this:

2 CORINTHIANS 13:5

EXAMINE YOURSELVES, TO SEE WHETHER YOU ARE IN THE FAITH. TEST YOURSELVES. OR DO YOU NOT REALIZE THIS ABOUT YOURSELVES, THAT JESUS CHRIST IS IN YOU? UNLESS INDEED YOU FAIL TO MEET THE TEST!

BLESSINGS,

What's Going On?

Let's do a little chatting about why is it so difficult for society to interact with each other. You know what I'm talking about. Everybody walks by each other as if the other person covered with some kind of deadly disease. What's that ALL about?

1. Sit back, relax, please read these questions, and then answer them to yourself?
2. Is it because of the current economical recession?
   
3. Perhaps it's due to the Outbreak of Street Violence?
   
4. Furthermore, maybe the main factor is a product of nobody wanting to deal with each other.

Finally, maybe mankind has to "Go Back To Basics", such as remembering to say: Thank You, Please, and a few other words that are being said anymore.

It's a down right shame the way most parents brought up their children with: respect, honor, and Old School Manners; are slowly disappearing!!!

Come everybody, let's take a few moments out of our busy schedule and just do a kind deed for someone. For example:

1. Visit an elderly person, who doesn't have anyone to throw out their trash.
2. Say good morning to your next door neighbor.
   
3. We're going to toss something heavy at you. If you see a Homeless person looking through garbage cans; offer that individual a coffee and a donut.
4. Believe us, you'll feel a heavy load lifted off of you. Try it, you may like?

Blessings,

Memories

I can't believe that 21 years ago, my Love Boat(husband) and I(his scented flower) have Blissfully Embraced so many: Happy, Funny, and sometimes painful moments in our Married Life; however you know what? We've experienced them TOGETHER... Just like the word of the LORD says here:

GENESIS 2:24

THEREFORE A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND HIS MOTHER AND HOLD FAST TO HIS WIFE, AND THEY SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH.

ALL of you fellow readers, my Honey Bun and I have been through: Sunny, Cloudy, and even some Clock Full o' Nuts days... Nevertheless, NOTHING has been able to "Sink our LOVE Boat". The LORD: is, has been, and will always be the Captain of our Ship. He's: BLESSED us, SHOWED us, and GIVEN us the Will Power to Carry on, with or without anyone to Cheer us on...

Couples, of the world; Don't Sweat the Small Stuff... My Joya(that means GEM in Spanish) and I(his scented Rose) have also: seen, experienced, and have had to share words of Wisdom in our most Painful and Difficult Moments... We've had to forget about our sorrow and Teach/Preach to others that Tomorrow will bring Blissful Beginnings... However, after sitting down and really analyzing the situation; we've discovered that the True Key to a Successful Marriage is found in Learning How to Forgive and Forget each other... That's what the BIBLE says:

EPHESIANS 4:32

BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER, TENDER HEARTED, FORGIVING ONE ANOTHER, AS GOD IN CHRIST FORGAVE YOU.

Thus, don't allow what's going on around you Drive you CRAZY! Work it out, not for the: family members across town to hear, neighbors, and so called co workers; but for the person you fell in LOVE with. Believe us, YES married life is sometimes Hard to Handle; but there are incidents in LIFE that are worth the its weight in GOLD, and keeping your Married Life ... TOGETHER Til Death Due you Part is one of them.

CLOSING ARGUMENT

Think about this; there are: actions, words, and emotions that leave Scares that can last a Life Time... Until the next time, COUPLES don't forget to: Hug, Kiss, and OH yes, Forgive each other....

Blessings,
