Record Breaking Sales After returning from the Iraq war, Shereka ShaBang faced challenges readjusting to civilian life. She attributes her music career and her role as The Veteran's Ambassador for inspiring her. Recently elected as the Commander of Disabled American Veterans Chapter 51 at the Chennault Aviation and Military Museum on April 11, 2024, ShaBang's journey took a new turn. ShaBang started her music career in 2016, but until this year, it remained unprofitable and merely a hobby. In...
God has been so merciful. He has blessed in spite of, kept in spite of and comforted in spite of. He's so faithful, so loving and so kind, but how long do you think God will continue to put up with the wickedness in the midst of that land? From the misinformation of truth, to the discord amongst leadership, to the senseless bloodshed of those who should still be amongst the living- God has seen it all. He is no longer winking (overlooking things). We can pay an enormous price when we ignore God’s voice. It’s time to work together. It’s time...

In 2012, author James Clear wrote Atomic Habits, outlining how to be consistent when creating positive habits. The book focuses on the science of habits and how tiny changes can lead to remarkable results over time. It also provides a comprehensive framework for understanding how habits work and offers practical strategies for building positive habits and breaking negative ones. The concept of "atomic habits" is the minuscule adjustments we make in our daily lives that accumulate over time to create astonishing outcomes. One of my favorite...

Jesus Christ is that TRUTH. In Jesus is life, and that life is the LIGHT of all mankind. In this world, there are surely dark days ahead, as they are now; but, no amount of darkness could...

You don't have to look too hard to see in Monroe and the surrounding areas, that the enemy is having a field day with the youth. So many seeds of bitterness and hate have been planted. So much violence has erupted, and lives have been taken, that should still be amongst the living. The first thing you hear echoed is, “It was God’s plan.” Let me tell you that’s a lie! That is certainly not God’s plan. God’s plan is of salvation (saving, rescuing, delivering). HE SO loved us that He gave His ONLY...

Contrary to popular belief, I highly dislike living in the south. I'm not Cajun or Creole, but I'm from north Louisiana, which has loomed over me most of my life. I skipped kindergarten, and instead of being praised or accepted for it, everywhere I go in north Louisiana, I'm constantly being torn down or discredited. When I got to high school, I worked hard enough to accumulate over 30 dual enrollment credit hours with a weighted GPA of 4.27. This hasn't been discussed or acknowledged once by my...

We're in a time where many people don't think twice about what they say. They use hurtful, vicious, condescending, and even toxic words. Then, many wonder why so much negativity surrounds them. The atmosphere is defiled because many mouths are defiled. Jesus said in Matthew 15:11 that it isn't what goes into someone's mouth that defiles them, but what comes out of the mouth instead. Proverbs 18:21 tells us that words kill and also give life. We determine if our words are poison or fruit. Luke...

Hello everyone! This week, I will be discussing self-interests. As you get older, you may want to branch out independently, and you may be scared of what people will say about you. Who cares? Who cares, about what someone will say about the way you dress, how you want to style your hair, and what music you listen to. You can't reach peak happiness when you're living your life to satisfy others. Don't let others dictate how you feel about things you enjoy, live your life the way you'd like. In...
