Purplepillbabies.com Accessory Launch/The Dope Different Black
Oh, how I love accessories but some people want to know what's up with this Pro-Black, New-Afrikan shyt I'm on? Whether you notice or not, when you dress you are identifying with something and sending a message. I choose to rep my lifestyle and make conscious statements as fashion. Purple Pill Babies is about to make this Pan-Afrikan thing extra funky, urban, sexy, eclectic & rock. These accessories are definitely changing the game. I mean let's start with the Angela Davis earrings. Everyone in her time wanted to have a fro like Angela's(even now), plus she was so revolutionary. To me Angela Davis screams fashion so I rock her on my ears! Or how about the Afrikan print door knockers? We wear door knockers all the time but to add a little culture to something already cool just makes it exceptionally cool. And we can not miss the Kemetic print earrings or plastic Ankhs..o.k yeah Anhks should be some kind of precious metal but what about the Afro Punk chick or the free lance artists that rep Kemet but doesn't have that much money to get heavy gold Ankhs or better yet just wants something light in her ears but fly? It's a very cool way to rep your history for less. Then we have the glasses; some inspired by gold adornments in Kemetic times, some inspired by (RBG)Red, Black & Green color combo & others inspired by our martyrs. So now that you got the low down on what it's all about let me briefly explain why I chose the magnificent people used to be the faces of PPB accessories. My theme for this shoot was "The Dope & Different Black" so I wanted to work with individuals that are not what your used to hearing about with cool hair cuts. Let's first start off with Omena El.
Omena El is a Personal Chef/Holistic Nutrionist: One who deals with health as a whole, including the mental, spiritual & physical well being. Omena can do anything from color therapy to creating a whole meal plan for you and your family. But what really makes Omena stand out as a Holistic Nutritionist is her sense of style. Omena is always FLY!! When I say she will come to your home and give you a whole health evaluation with lenseless glasses, an African print jumpsuit and that Banging ass hair cut w/ the little fro at the top...She is Holistically Fly but don't take my word, see for your self!!
The second person is Lorenza, a Baker & Black Socialite. Lorenza makes beautiful/delicious baked goods and yes she can bake gluten free & vegan. Lorenza bakes goods for very cool events such as Speak Easy's and Trendy birthday celebrations. And while we are mentioning cool events, let's not forget to mention that Lorenza finds a way to be at every event before or after she goes to her yoga classes...A true socialite!! But what makes her stand out is how regal she is, personality wise and in dress code. Lorenza can step on any scene and you have to do a double take as she has smooth dark skin, a low hair cut and poise...not to mention conversations with this Lovely Lady Libra can easily go from very whimsicle to very intellectual in a matter of minutes. Did I mention people always think we're sisters because we really do resemble each other a lot and we're Libra's.
I am really excited to write about these two brothers, Manchildblack + Monstah Black = The Blacks
Manchildblack is a singer, recording artist, designer and co-producer of one of NYC's hottest parties, Libation. Monstah Black is a singer, performance artist, designer and one of the creators behind the notorious Cabaret Cataplexy.
add to what I admire about these two young men, each of The Blacks are working on a solo albums, but this power couple as in beautiful couple is collaborating for the first time on a electro funk project, expected release early next year....talk about dope.
And Last but not least there is always an interesting twist when I do photoshoots, so here it is. I was at a Rapheal Siddiq concert and my plan was to shoot the above group of individuals but one of the people I planned on shooting was not able to attend so I told the universe that I am going to find a cool Sis w/ her head shaved on the sides to shoot and believe it or not I saw this Sister sitting w/ a blue mohawk and shaved sides...I said I have to shoot her but I needed to organize my accessories and have a brief meeting w/ my assistant and photog so I said when I'm done I'll ask her. As I was in the meeting, Q(sista w/ the mohawk) walked up to me and we started conversing and wham, I was like "my name is bla bla, I am doing a shoot bla bla....I would love to have you shoot in my accessories" and she said yes ...yaay. With no suprise to me I found out that Q is into some cool stuff. First off she was visiting from Atl where she specializes in natural hair care and styling which you can check out at houseofnappy.com, I may dye my hair Purple now lol. And music.....YALL KNO I"M A NEW MUSIC FANANTIC and she makes soulful but funky/ mind travel music...you know those sounds that you blaze too or if your like me and don't blaze but enjoy the aroma, you just sit up under someone smoking and zone out =D or just bounce, her music is that awesome.
Ohh another bonus is a photo of the first Sis that bought earrings from me, Mya. Mya simply has a beautiful energy and of course she has talent. Mya is a film maker and as you can see beautiful with a funky ass hair cut. She was not a part of the photoshoot but she is so beautiful in spirit that she sent me a photo of her wearing my earring. Yes WoW is a perfect expression 8-D
How the hell I end up in one of the shoots?? lol Let me keep it simple by saying I have a creative addiction. So what happened was after the first shoot I realized I didn't make any bags and I really wanted some for self but while buying notions, I was moved to make more earrings and needed to shoot them to put on the website so I reached out really last minute to a aweeesome photographer(Heather Perry) who lives in L.A and decided I was worth the time. Heather is very talented as the photos speak for self but her personality is cool as hell also, I was pleasantly surprised by it all!! And to touch on the photographer of the first shoot Dexter Wordsmith Jones...His style of shooting is one to just drool over. I'm a biig fan of grunge, unpolished work that is still clean & Dexter has a way of making you say "I remember you shooting it but seriously how did you get it to look like that"...phenom!
Heather Perry: Photographer
Now you all can enjoy the rest of photos. Happy watching, hope to see your order!! =D
Nobody Believes Until I Believe Me
A Lioness Doesn't Have to Roar, HER presence and Energy Permeates Volumes
To Accept Your Weakness Is To Become Strong
Darkness Only Penetrates The Light That's Already There & We're Already There...We Just Need To Go Back
For You I Walk A Straight Line W/ Grace & Pride
Speed Is Not Power. Drive & A Clear Vision Is!
To Smile In The Face Of Adversity Is Absolute Power
Nature Is To Beauty As Natural Is To Be Beautiful
You Can Build Yourself Up By Turning Things Down
I Must Go Now, I Have A Path To Lead...Hope To See You All there
But before I go I must give thanks to the universe for allowing it to all happen as harmoniously as it did(no rain, cold, running around) and I must thank the photogs for shooting in a style that I admire and feeling I was worthy taking time out for. And last but not least "The Dope Different Black" people that took time out of all really busy schedules to grace my collection and for being an example of saying FUCK the system...We're Black but we don't fit in the box society attempts to put us in.

CraAaZiEsT PhotoShoot....A StOry Of Persistance
HeEey Eclectic Urban World. Today I have a very interesting story of a photoshoot that took more than many twists and turns but where do I start? I start by not dwelling on the past, trials and obstacles...We Only move Forward; STRONGER...FASTER...GREATER! However I will share the many things I learned.......
1st- I learned to believe in my ppl, no matter how things turned out later, believe in your ppl first, let's take chances w/ each other, you could be very pleasantly suprised!
2nd- Sounds corny but F it...Go for what ever it is you wan't, don't let anyone dictate how you move at all, everyone can't make it the same way!! And don't let anyone make you feel ashamed bc you make mistakes or bc your still learning. Like I said everyone can speculate but...Who's making moves?? It's really easy to be like "If that was me, I would of..." YEA YEA
3rd- Be humane first, don't let anything turn you into a Robot...I move God like w/ Respect being top priority for my peers and my mental and physical health being top priority over what needs to get done!
4th- Have Fun & don't miss a moment!!! Life is crazy short...laugh every chance...If you trip, laugh, if you get kicked out of a damn museum laugh(hahaaa)
5th- Believe in your shit more than anybody, even if it's not 100% what you planned..it's yours...STAND behind that ugly truth or mistake and sell it to the world until you get it right!!! Seeeriously! Ppl are group thinkers and or groupies, they only believe in you when they see big things popping but on the come up support may be non-existant....THANK DA UNIVERSE FOR MY CIRCLE...I have much support, true believers & honest/wise words given to me!
5th- Control your emotions!!! It's the only way to think clearly and navigate with ease through your personal life and business!! Do not let obstacles make you freeze up or stop! You fight & fight some more and push and push again and knock until the world answers and when that fails pick locks, go through back doors/windows. Be aggresive but conscious of others...of course you can do both! I'm a Boss Bitch and Imhotep all in one.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST- POSITIVE ENERGY!!...If you are reading this right now and you have friends and business partners that are not on the 100% building of you and themselves...YOU ARE SLOWING YOUR OWN PROGRESS & BLOCKING YOUR RECEPTORS!! Negativity is waiting for you as soon as you open your eyes in the morning, so to have that fighting you from the outside and it's inside your circle...Good Luck.
1st Shoot...
After We Were Rudely Kicked Out Of The Museum, I had to brainstorm(thank goodness my MUA gave me an idea. We Had To Walk In Snow & Wait For A Bus To Migrate to my Mentor's House
Look At How They Were So Beautiful & Patiently Waiting In The Snow
Yall Thought I Was Bullshiting...Uh uh, We Sure Hopped On The Bus...All 100 of Us. lol That's what I'm Talking Bout When I Say Surround Your Self W/ Positive Ppl And You Can't Go Wrong..Some Were Fr Da City all The Way To Jersey And Stuck It Out!!
Now We Continue Our Dora The Explorer Shit..But Nooo Swiping LMAO
All Kinds of Reeally Deep Conversations Went On Up In There, Ppl Were Sleeping On The Couch, Make Up Was Being Done, Ppl were Tearing Up Vegan & Vegetarian Food....Who Knew 98% of Us Were Going To Be Veg ppl..Now Dats Magic
Mama Naeema like "Nuttin go like so", True like "Tell em Mama" & Zakiya like "lol mmm hm"
Look At All This Beautiful Big Natural Hair, You Know You want To Touch It! ;D
Hands of a magician, heart like gold...My big Sis/MUA Ummkhair & her M.A.C Kit :)
WE FINALLY GET ON SET AND IT WAS COOoOLD BUT IT WAS LOTS OF FUN STILL. PPL WERE LOOKING AT THE MODELS LIKE THEY WERE MOVIE STARS AND WE LAUGHED OUR ASSES OFF AT AMPRESS AND KINSHASAA FRONTIN LIKE THEY TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING FOR THE SHOOT, RARA COMING DOWN THE STAIRS LIKE A BITCH-DIVA & AND TRUE AND JARED ACTING LIKE REVOLUTIONARIES TRYING TO GET THE GIRLS TO CALL THEM(ALL GREAT ACTORS & ACTRESSES BY THE WAY) & UMMKHAIR & ZAKIYA BEING ALL INFORMATIVE AND CRACKING JOKES :) ...ME I WAS JUST BEING TASIYA....ALWAYS MOVING, DEAD TIRED THO
even though My hair is always stickin up, I actually planned on having control that day but I forgot pins for this models hair and had to take mines out & put in hers
Aww The guys were cold..you know I'll warm em up *wink wink* in a professional way...I think?..aw hell forget it, my poor mind has already been perverted. lol
I was fluffing dat fro, chick in da green was like "it's big enough", ZZ was laughing as usual...many different thoughts were flying at this point. lol
This is the part where the acting took place, "Peace Queen can I call you?"..."Who me?" lol they were too funny and Rara controlling her guys like a Sealey do. =D
This was the funniest pt bc I told the girls to act like they were laughing and talking but they were really cracking up like they was talking about something everytime we said " AND CUT" lmao, they were a blast!...Had us all cracking up!
If this is What A MTA Boycott looks like...Count Me In!
There is nothing Hotter than StroOong Men

Yaaas Miss Thing, not Even Bars Can Hold Back Dat Fiercness!
Queens & Kings but Of Course Queen Kinshasaa easily took this shot to another level...Powerful Shot Sista, Powerful!
Unbreakable Bond
Despite all the hardship & COld....First Shoot Complete....YAAAAY. We don't gotta be cute no more, fuck it...Let's wild out. HahaAaaa
Aint my coat FLY...Of course I made it!...Aint those Gentlemen FLY!
Beautiful Ghaninian Models that came all the way from the Bronx to Brooklyn and knocked out some awesome shots. And look at my videographer Hememset...So humble, easy going & hard working...Spike Lee watch out!
Exscuse the intensity on my face but when I'm in my zone, I'm gone. I told you all it was raining for real & this model Rynesha walked and posed in the rain for a long time and managed to look unphased in the shots. ANTM!
While me the guys & the Rara was outside shooting, my MUA Ummkhair was inside making magic appear on these already beauuutiful young ladies faces. That make up was phenominal!! Don't you agree!
It was Fucking CoOold...I was non-stop moving as usual & the ladies were too cute, they had to hold on to each other to block the cold winds that were harping. Yall kicked ass out there though...Big Time.
Life Is Expression...Loose Control!
Welcome to Planet Brooklyn(My World)...You Can Enter But You Never Really Leave

text: Working Paper | HBS Working Paper Series | 2014 Entrepreneurship and Business Groups: An Evolutionary Perspective on the Growth of the Koç Group in Turkey Asli M. Coplan and Geoffrey Jones This working paper examines the origins and development of the Koç Group, which grew to be the largest business group in Turkey. This enterprise was an important actor in the emergence of modern business enterprise in the new state of the Republic of Turkey from the 1920s. After World War II it diversified rapidly, forming part of a cluster of business groups which dominated the Turkish economy alongside state-owned firms. This study shows how the founder of the Group, Vehbi Koç, formulated his business model, and analyzes how his firm evolved into a diversified business group. The research supports prevailing explanations of business groups which identify the role of institutional voids, government policies and contact capabilities, but it also builds on and extends earlier suggestions in both the management and business history literatures that entrepreneurship needs incorporating more strongly as an explanatory factor. This working paper argues that Koç acted as both a Kirznerian and Schumpeterian entrepreneur to build his business group, both in its formative stages and later in its subsequent growth into a diversified group.

October 6, 2009
For six years Rodney Redd served as an assistant for Brud Bicknell at Monticello High School. Redd left the Mustangs sideline prior to the 2009 season to become the head coach of Fluvanna. This week, Redd returned to the place where he spent so many Friday nights, and he went up against his former boss in the process.
With the Flucos leading 6-0 early in the first quarter, C.J. Page streaked down the sideline for a touchdown, giving the Mustangs a 7-6 lead. Monticello would add to the lead on another C.J. Page touchdown. Page took the direct snap in what we'll call the Wild-Stang formation and found the endzone to put the Mustangs up 14-6. And that is all the offensive support the Mustangs defense would need.
Fluvanna would pull to within five points with a 27-yard field goal to close out the half, but that is all the scoring the Mustangs would allow. Fluvanna would try for some last-second heroics with 3.3 seconds remaining in the game, but Flvanna quarterback Ryan Foster was brought down on the 7-yard line to end the game.
The 14-9 halftime score would be the final score in this game. The win for Monticello would snap their three-game losing streak. Fluvanna (1-4) will look to get back on track when they William Monroe (0-5) on October 9, while Monticello (2-3) will try to start a winning streak when they host Goochland (4-1).

The equivalent of a university course on international development is yours, free, from the comfort of your easy chair.
That's thanks to the Bahá'í Chair for World Peace at the University of Maryland.
The course unfolds in a series of videos placed on the Chair's YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/user/BahaiPeaceChair).
Titled "Peace-building, Post-conflict Reconstruction, and International Development," the course is taught by Chair Professor John Grayzel.
Additional videos on topics related to peace studies and the work of the Chair also may be found on the YouTube channel.
"New media like YouTube enables the Chair to reach a wide audience, broadening and enriching a needed dialogue on a key message from the Universal House of Justice's The Promise of World Peace and showing how the message can be increasingly put into daily practice," the Chair noted in its announcement.
The hope is that those planning pragmatic steps to solve problems facing society will place their efforts within a context of principle.
To further that aim, the Chair is fostering the emergence of what it calls a community of "principles scholars."
These are scholars, the Chair said, who have "a particular interest in global governance and a specific focus on principles as integral to successful and sustainable social and human development."
The YouTube's channel's bonus videos include a feature on the Chair-sponsored Semester on Peace; an award-winning documentary on the Marshall Plan; a broadcast reflecting on the negative role of partisan politics in Thailand; and complete proceedings of the Chair's Second Interactive Dialogue on "Human Security in an Insecure World."
Users who subscribe to the Chair's YouTube channel can post comments online that the Chair said "provide valuable feedback and insights."

Re: NOOBS
I was just about to say "No matter what your opinion is, at least with it being called NOOBS it does exactly what it says on the tin." If we go with your idea I will have to change my statement to "it does exactly what it say on the silicone!" Which is technically a more accurate description either way when you think about it!

BEMIDJI, Minn. (Oct. 28, 2011) Proof, the fall production for University Theatre, will open Nov. 12 at Bemidji State University.
The drama focuses on a young girl, Catherine, and her struggle with mathematical genius and mental illness after recently losing her father, Robert, also a mathematical genius. After Roberts death, his ex-graduate student, Hal, discovers a paradigm-shifting proof about prime numbers. The title of the play refers both to that proof and to the plays central question: Can Catherine prove the proofs authorship?
Throughout, the play explores Catherines fear of following in her fathers footsteps, both mathematically and mentally, and her desperate attempts to stay in control.
Proof was originally produced by the Manhattan Theatre Club in May, 2000, and went to Broadway in October that same year. The drama has received multiple Tony Award nominations along with winning the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for drama.
Proof will open Saturday, Nov. 12 at 7:30 p.m. on the main stage of the Bemidji State Bangsberg Fine Arts Complex. The play will also show Nov. 18 and 19 at 7:30 p.m. and Nov. 20 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $6 for non-BSU students and senior citizens and $12 for adults. Bemidji State students admitted free with ID.

HOUSTON (AP) The Texas agency that regulates the state's oil and gas industry says it has been investigating new allegations that methane is contaminating North Texas water.

Commission spokeswoman Ramona Nye says the investigation began in August and should be completed next month.
WASHINGTON (AP) The U.S. Border Patrol says agents made more arrests along the Mexican border in Texas last year than any other place in the country. The agency said today that agents in Texas made 235,567 arrests in the budget year that ended in September. For much of the last decade, Arizona had been the busiest section of the Mexican border. Agents there last year made 125,942 arrests.
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) A man who confessed to killing women decades ago has been sentenced to life in an Oregon prison with no chance for parole. Jeffrey Cutlip was sentenced today. He was was living in Texas in 2012 when he contacted police and confessed to killing four women. Police have only been able to confirm three of the slayings. Cutlip pleaded guilty to killing Marlene Claire Carlson and Julie Marie Bennett in the early 1970s and to killing Nielen Doll in 1993.
DALLAS (AP) A white supremacist has been sentenced to nearly 5 years in prison for mailing threatening letters to state judges and prosecutors. Federal authorities say 28-year-old Jesse Brister of Conroe (KAHN'-roh) was sentenced today. He pleaded guilty in September to mailing threatening communications. Prosecutors say he is a member of the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas and was already in custody on an unrelated matter.

It's tough to imagine Lisa Rinna--she of the va-voomy cleavage, sizable pout, and vampy performances on Days of Our Lives and Dancing With the Stars--poring over research studies. But the coauthor of this month's The Big Fun Sexy Sex Book says that's what she did when her bedroom confidence took an unexpected nosedive. "After I had kids, I lost all my desire," she says. "It scared me, and made me realize that there aren't many places to turn for answers. We go to the dentist and the gym to take care of our bodies, but we don't have many ways to take care of this essential part of ourselves. I wrote this book so women can learn to do that." We were dubious, but her research turned up some pretty darn enlightening stuff, like...
Lesson 1: There's a reason yogis seem so content. A study out of the Journal of Sexual Medicine found that women who practiced an hour of yoga a day for 12 weeks reported an increase in desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, and satisfaction. Let's see a spin class do that.
Lesson 2: Aphrodisiacs exist--sort of. The omega-3 fatty acids found in salmon, mackerel, and sardines impact your sex drive by boosting heart health, which optimizes blood flow to the genitals. And nuts and green veggies may promote healthy clitoral tissue in women and erectile function in men.
Lesson 3: Sex toys are nothing to be shy about. In fact, the first vibrator was only the fifth domestic appliance to be electrified--it came just after the sewing machine, fan, teakettle, and toaster. Even back then, they knew that real satisfaction is a necessity.

UAW officials hold a news conference to announce the formation of a local union at the Chattanooga Volkswagen plant.Photo by Doug Strickland /Chattanooga Times Free Press.
The United Auto Workers today unveiled a new local in Chattanooga as the union aims toward eventually organizing the Volkswagen plant.
"Earlier this year, the UAW was gratified to earn the confidence and support of many Volkswagen team members," said Dennis Williams, president of the UAW, at a news conference. "At that time, we said we would not give up on these committed and hard-working employees. We're keeping our promise."
Williams said UAW Local No. 42 will be located at the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers office off Bonny Oaks Drive, where the UAW has operated for several years.
He said members will not pay union dues. Dues can't be collected until 30 days after there's a collective bargaining agreement with a company, according to the UAW.
Gary Casteel, the UAW's secretary-treasurer, said Local 42 will be "run by, and for, the employees at Volkswagen."
"We've had ongoing discussions with Volkswagen and have arrived at a consensus with the company," said Casteel. "Upon Local 42 signing up a meaningful portion of Volkswagen's Chattanooga workforce, we're confident the company will recognize Local 42 by dealing with it as a members' union that represents those employees who join the local."
Casteel, who was backed by about 25 VW plant workers, said the UAW is committed to continuing its joint efforts with Volkswagen to ensure the company's expansion and growth in Chattanooga.
UAW officials renewed requests for the State of Tennessee to extend the economic incentives necessary for Volkswagen to add a new product line at the Chattanooga plant, and said the union will continue advocating for increased investment. "State officials have assured the public and the Volkswagen workforce that the decision on incentives for Chattanooga is not related to whether workers exercise their right to join a union," said Ray Curry, the newly elected director of UAW Region 8, in a statement. "We are gratified by those assurances, and the state was right to give them."
VW said in a statement that there is no "formal' agreement between the company and the union.
"Just like anywhere else in the world, the establishment of a local organization is a matter for the trade union concerned. There is no contract or other formal agreement with UAW on this matter," the VW statement said.
According to the UAW, Volkswagen's business model is premised on employee representation, and Local 42 will represent any interested employees who join the local as members. No employees will be required to join, the union said.
See more in Friday's Times Free Press.
Mike Pare, the deputy Business editor at the Chattanooga Times Free Press, has worked at the paper for 27 years. In addition to editing, Mike also writes Business stories and covers Volkswagen, economic development and manufacturing in Chattanooga and the surrounding area. In the past he also has covered higher education. Mike, a native of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., received a bachelor's degree in communications from Florida Atlantic University. he worked at the Rome News-Tribune before ...

In order to prosper, you must first have a prosperous soul. That's the beginning of the prosperous life. But how do you get there?
My journey to the prosperous life began years ago when I read Matthew 6:33 in a Bible Ken's mother had given him: "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." In The Amplified Bible it says to seek "His way of doing and being right." That's the foundation of God's prosperity. When I found that verse, I was ready to try God's way since I needed a lot of things and my way wasn't working.
I discovered that God's prosperity isn't just financial blessings. It also includes healing, protection, favor, wisdom, success, well-being and every good thing you could possibly need—all the good things Jesus paid for you to have.
He took our place and bore the curse of our sin so we can live in the blessing. "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ." (Galatians 3:13-14).
Isaiah 53:5 says, "The chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us was upon Him, and with the stripes [that wounded] Him we are healed and made whole" (The Amplified Bible). The Hebrew word for peace in this scripture is shalom. It basically means "nothing missing, nothing broken," or wholeness in every area of your life—spirit, soul and body.
That kind of prosperous life doesn't just happen. And it doesn't happen overnight. But the foundation for true prosperity begins with these seven steps:
- Walking in truth
- Faithfulness
- Diligence
- Tithing
- Sowing
- Believing
- Saying
So let's briefly take a look at each one of these key elements to walking in prosperity.
Walking in Truth
"I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth" (III John 1).
If I told you about heaven, I couldn't give you any firsthand information because I haven't been there. But when I teach on prosperity, that is something I have experienced from minus zero to abundance. Kenneth and I have been walking by the laws of abundance for 33 years.
We weren't exactly walking in prosperity when we married. I wore a $2 veil with the white cotton dress my mother made for the wedding. Ken's friend married us at his home. His wife baked a cake. We even borrowed $100 for our honeymoon. We had no money and no wisdom. You would be hard pressed to find a couple that was more pitifully ignorant than we were at that time.
But then something happened that totally changed our lives. We began to hear the truth of the Word of God. First we got born again. We were changed inside, but outwardly you couldn't tell much difference in us. Once we were filled with the Holy Spirit, there was some outward change, but not a lot because we were still ignorant of the Word. The real changes in our outer lives came when we started walking on the Word and letting the wisdom of God become our way of life. Everything began to change!
We found that the first step to increase is walking in truth. That means walking in the light of God's Word, according to His ways, His wisdom, what He says is right. You can't do that and not be blessed. Jesus said, "If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" (John 8:31-32).
I'm not just talking about reading scriptures about prosperity. You prosper when you walk in all the words God says to you. That's the wisdom of God.
Walking in truth is living a godly lifestyle—living in obedience to what God says is right. The blessings God outlined in Deuteronomy 28:1-14 manifest as a result of obedience. "And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee…" (verses 1-2).
God has always blessed an obedient people. Isaiah 1:19 says, "If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land." God can do something with a person who has a willing heart. In fact Psalms 25:12-13 in The Living Bible promises that when you fear the Lord, "God will teach [you] how to choose the best. [You] shall live within God's circle of blessing…."
One of the first things God taught us was to stay out of debt—and we obeyed Him! That was big to us in those days. We started where we were and that meant believing God to pay the overdue bills. But increase came as we were willing and obedient to walk in the truth of the Word.
And increase can come to you also. God desires for you to live within His circle of blessing. It is His will for you to increase.
Faithfulness and Diligence
"His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord" (Matthew 25:21).
The force of faithfulness is a fruit of the spirit that you received when you were born again. Webster's dictionary defines faithful as "full of faith, believing, strong or firm in one's faith, firmly adhering to duty, a true fidelity, loyal, true to allegiance, constant in the performance of duties or services."
A faithful person consistently does what is right, even if it looks like it could be to his disadvantage. Psalms 106:3 says, "Blessed are they who maintain justice, who constantly do what is right" (New International Version). We can't be godly without being faithful because faithfulness is God's character:
It is because of the Lord's mercy and loving-kindness that we are not consumed, because His [tender] compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great and abundant is Your stability and faithfulness (Lamentations 3:22-23, The Amplified Bible). God is faithful (reliable, trustworthy, and therefore ever true to His promise, and He can be depended on); by Him you were called into companionship and participation with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord (I Corinthians 1:9, The Amplified Bible).
II Chronicles 16:9 says God is looking for faithfulness, "For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him…." The Hebrew word for perfect there means "loyal, devoted, dedicated, faithful."
Kenneth and I have had financial trouble, challenges with sickness and other things, but when we have stood on the Word and refused to give up, God has always answered our faith with His action!
Once you find a promise in the Word, don't disqualify yourself from receiving by saying, "God would never do that for me." Be transformed by the renewing of your mind (Romans 12:2). Let God's Word change your thinking. You will prosper in any area as your soul [mind, will and emotions] prospers in understanding about that area from the Word, and you take that knowledge and act on it. Your inner man prospers when you believe the Word. Your circumstances prosper when you receive what He says and act on it.
Be faithful to keep meditating the promises in the Word until they overtake your life. Everything you receive from God starts with the Word in your heart. Proverbs 4:20-23 says, "My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life."
Faithfulness will energize you to be diligent even if you have never been that way in the natural.
The Word repeatedly says we are to diligently seek God, hearken to what He says and obey His commands. Why? Deuteronomy 28:1-2 says when you hearken diligently, blessings overtake you! Because ".he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him" (Hebrews 11:6). Diligence increases you. As Proverbs 10:4 says, "The hand of the diligent maketh rich."
Be diligent and faithful to God in your natural life as well. Make a decision to be faithful on your job, at your church, in your prayer life and in putting the Word first place in your life.
Our soul prospers as we spend time in the Word, believe it and create a lifestyle of obeying God. The result will be what I John 3:22 says: "And we receive from Him whatever we ask, because we [watchfully] obey His orders [observe His suggestions and injunctions, follow His plan for us] and [habitually] practice what is pleasing to Him" (The Amplified Bible).
The number one law of receiving is don't quit! Stay with the Word. Stay with what God has told you to do. Even if you make a mistake, repent and get back on track. That's faithfulness. It's part of the prosperous life because "a faithful man shall abound with blessings." (Proverbs 28:20).
Tithing and Sowing
"Honor the Lord with your capital and sufficiency.and with the firstfruits of all your income; so shall your storage places be filled with plenty, and your vats shall be overflowing with new wine" (Proverbs 3:9-10, The Amplified Bible).
Ken and I never had any financial growth until we became faithful in tithing. At first it looked impossible to give that 10 percent. But when we did, the 90 percent we had left went further than the 100 percent we had before.
Tithing is a covenant transaction that gets God involved in what you are doing. The first 10 percent of your income—the tithe—belongs to God. The Bible calls it firstfruits. It's devoted to God, and it goes to support ministries that feed you spiritually.
Tithing is how you honor God with your money. It makes a way for God to bless you supernaturally.
Notice Malachi 3:8-10 says we are to bring all the tithes to God. It also says by doing so God will open the windows of heaven and bless you "That there shall not be room to receive it!" You don't want to keep anything that belongs to God. Leviticus 27:30 declares, "And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord's: it is holy unto the Lord."
Real tithing is done with the heart and with the mouth, in faith. God's people were commanded to bring their firstfruits: "And thou shalt set it before the Lord thy God, and worship before the Lord thy God: And thou shalt rejoice in every good thing which the Lord thy God hath given unto thee, and unto thine house…" (Deuteronomy 26:10-11). They were to recount how God had delivered them out of bondage. And they were to worship Him and rejoice for all the good He had given them.
Whatever we do must be in obedience and in faith for God to be pleased with it.
Everything we do toward God must come from our heart. Otherwise it doesn't count. Jesus said, "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing." (John 6:63). We are to give with a willing heart, as an honor to God, and worship Him with our tithes. Then He is in partnership with us.
After we tithe, we are to sow according to what the Lord lays on our heart, and we are to do it with the right attitude. The Hebrew word for offering comes from a root word that means to "draw nigh." We draw nigh to God with our offering. II Corinthians 9:6 says: "He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully."
The Scripture plainly says you reap what you sow (Galatians 6:7). If you desire to be a receiver, you have to be a giver. "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again" (Luke 6:38).
Tithing is supernatural—don't miss out on the benefits. God has an interest in your finances—He desires to increase you and bless you because He loves you.
Believing and Saying
"We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak" (II Corinthians 4:13).
The Bible says several times, "The just shall live by faith" (Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38). Abraham was blessed because he lived by faith. He believed God. We're supposed to live the same way: "So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham" (Galatians 3:9).
Faith must be in two places—in your heart and in your mouth. "The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach" (Romans 10:8). Believing in your heart and saying with your mouth produce the operation of faith.
"For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith" (Mark 11:23).
Kenneth and I learned to take the Word literally as God speaking to us. We learned if we put it in our eyes, put it in our ears, and let it get down into our hearts in abundance, it would come out our mouths in faith-filled words and it would change our lives and circumstances.
We realized all that stood between us and walking in the dream God had for us was knowing what is in the Book and doing it. "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success" (Joshua 1:8).
The seven keys I've shared are how Ken and I laid a foundation for the prosperous life—and this is how we maintain it. I can tell you from experience, these are the first seven steps to increase, no matter what you need.

BU junior Julie Chambers named America East Setter of the Week
The Bearcat setter totaled 103 assists over the weekend
September 7, 2010Tweet
CAMBRIDGE, MASS.—Binghamton's volleyball program (1-5, 0-0) earned their first award of the season Tuesday. Junior setter Julie Chambers (Nichols, N.Y./Tioga) was named America East Setter of the Week, for the week ending September 5, as announced by the conference.
"A great reward to a deserving player," head coach Glenn Kiriyama said. "Julie has put a tremendous amount of time and effort to improve and perform at a higher level. We are all glad to see her progress and growth."
For the week, Chambers led the America East with 9.26 assists per set, with a total of 103 over 11 sets. Chambers upped her season average to 9.20 assists per game, good enough for second overall in the conference.
The Bearcats traveled to Fairfield, Conn. this past weekend to take part in the Sacred Heart Invitational. In their first game of the tournament, Binghamton defeated Jacksonville 3-1. BU secured their first win of the early season behind Chambers' 36 assists, seven digs and five kills. Versus Dartmouth, Chambers produced another steady performance with a season and match-high 40 assists. In the final match of the tournament, Chambers dished out 27 assists while chipping in eight digs against host Sacred Heart.
Binghamton is on the road tomorrow night against Niagara. The match begins in Lewiston, N.Y. at 7 p.m.

Nobody knows better than Jason McKenzie that when a man's tectonic plates shift, only a giant whitetail can stop the quake.
The hunter from Shongaloo, La., hunted Kansas for the first time in 2012. He crawled into his pop-up blind before sunup on Dec. 1, his third day there, and cursed his lack of clothing. But before long, he was itching to get out of the clothes he was wearing.
Nature was calling; pleading, at first; and then screaming.
When Jason could stand no more, he made sure the coast was clear, and then he slid out of the blind and began searching for a bush to provide a modicum of cover.
He can thank his lucky stars that he didn't leave his rifle and shooting sticks back inside the pop-up.
[Read the rest of this article...]
Before Kenny Grant took up bowhunting in 2012, he put little faith in plastic things that go urrrp or mehhh. After all, riflemen don't generally need to coax too-far whitetails to come closer.
Had it not been for one of the little plastic calls, however, he might still be daydreaming about the 200-plus-incher he set out to arrow in 2013.
Kenny gave up deer hunting 13 years ago, following a divorce. He got custody of his now college-age children, and he simply had no time for it.
When he decided to return to the sport, he decided not to travel and hunt like he used to do, but to stay closer to home. That decision was made easier when the state of Texas re-opened Collin County to deer hunting (an archery-only season).
Mature bucks' antlers might grow half an inch or more a day during the spring and summer months, but that doesn't mean they'll double in size from one year to the next. After all, unless they're on the downswing, whitetails have to regrow what was shed (or something similar) before adding mass, length or extra points.
That wasn't the case with a south Georgia buck in 2013, however.
The deer never shed its 2012 rack, which means all new growth - nearly 100 inches - sprouted from the crown it was already wearing.
Mikell (pronounced Michael) Fries would've been elated to arrow the distinctive whitetail in 2012. Not only had the 38-year-old bowhunter never taken a deer in velvet, but the 135-inch rack was also much larger than average for Evans County, Ga.
When Mitchell Oney answered his cell phone on the evening of Kentucky's 2012 rifle opener, he was probably relieved that his wife Michelle, who was hunting nearby, hadn't somehow been injured.
He still swallowed hard after she spoke.
"I've got your deer. Do I shoot him?" she asked.
Mitchell had been obsessed with this buck for two years, and there was no mistaking it among trail camera images because of its 30-plus-inch-long main beams, one of them sloping downward. Husband and wife were hunting between 300 and 400 yards apart, on the same ridge, and she was looking at the buck.
