Sunday Sermon: You’d Better Think

There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She told her boyfriend, ‘If I could only see the world, I will marry you.’

One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend.

He asked her,’Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?’ The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn’t expected that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him.

Her boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying: ‘Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before they were yours, they were mine.’

This is how the human brain often works when our status changes. Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who was always by their side in the most painful situations.

Life Is a Gift

Today, before you say an unkind word – Think of someone who can’t speak.

Before you complain about the taste of your food – Think of someone
who has nothing to eat..

Before you complain about your husband or wife – Think of someone
who’s crying out to GOD for a companion.

Today, before you complain about life – Think of someone who went
too early to heaven..

Before whining about the distance you drive Think of someone who
walks the same distance with their feet.

And when you are tired and complain about your job – Think of the
unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job.

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down – Put a smile on
your face and think: you’re alive and still around..

A Text Message on Valentines Day?

“H-VDAY! Get @ me!” A text message on Valentine’s Day? For your friends and family, fine. But for your lover? I don’t think so. Text is great for when you’re running late, want to set a quick date, or for sending a quick update. Valentine’s Day, however, warrants old school face time. Save the texts for conversations while in transit. On the day of romance, get in his grill and tell him exactly how you feel–in person. He’ll appreciate the sentiment. Plus, romantic person-to-person time can never be deleted from memory.

Single on Valentines Day?

Red roses, chocolate candies, special edition M&M’s, those stuffed plush red hearts everywhere. We’re surrounded by sensual seas of red on Valentine’s Day, a irritatingly crimson reminder to those single on the holiday.

You may think it takes two to have a good Valentine’s Day, but that’s not exactly true. With a little planning and persistence you can turn this Valentine’s Day into 24 hours of opportunity.

Grab Life By The Heart

The love gods don’t exactly align the timing of their gifts with the Valentine’s Day holiday, so it is possible that you may still be single on the big day. There’s nothing wrong with being single and riding doesn’t have to be synonymous with hopeless unhappy. Take control of your heart and manage those deceiving self-esteem stabbers by shifting how you think about Valentine’s Day. Whether you are content with being single or not, take the opportunity to treat yourself to a little love and a special night out.

Too Soon To Exchange Valentine’s Day Gifts?

Did you guys meet just a few days, weeks or months ago? Gay dating affairs tend to accelerate like dog years, but have you nibbled in your relationship long enough to celebrate Valentine’s Day?

The big V is about cuddle time, romance, passion and other niceties that men desire; but sometimes what should be Cupid’s dream ends up being a cauldron of stress, especially when it comes to gift exchange.

Now, for some of you, your romantic frequencies are strong enough to know when your dude wants gift-wrapping. But even then, what kind of gift should you give him?

For those that haven’t replaced the “should” for the “what,” the question remains: Is it too soon?

Smiletone Speaks OUT on GA’s BTR Show!

These are trying times to say the least.  The political arena is filled with hate, intolerance, discrimination and oppression towards the LGBT community.  The financial world around us is as unstable as it ever has been, and as there should be, there’s a real tone of somberness when it comes to struggling for equality.  It’s so easy to get caught up in all the negativity that abounds and let ourselves become consumed with the seriousness of the issues surrounding us that we sometimes forget to do one of the simplest, most important things we can do for ourselves mentally and physically…and no, I’m not talking about sex (even though I’m sure that doesn’t hurt).  Sometimes we just have to find it within to take a giant breath…and smile, and that IS the goal of this weekt’s guest on gayagenda.com’s Blog Talk Radio show.

Join us every Wednesday night at 8:00 p.m. EST (by clicking here) to listen live!

According to Smiletone:

My three most favorite things to do are smiling, helping people, and dancing! My favorite things are my Blackberry, Coca-Cola, and Cosmopolitan Magazine! I was born in NY, but I have lived all over! I am now a youtuber with the mission to give good advice and make people smile!

Smiletone is just what the doctor ordered to help us get through the trials and tribulations that maintains our sense of seriousness, so don’t miss the opportunity to live a little and forget about the serious side of life for a while.

Missed the show? No worries, you can listen on the player below…but log on next week, call in to be part of the show and join us in the live chat room!
