The Whole Delivery

More to come in this thread, later on in the day. 

Though the hypocrisy and the hate: More to come folks today. 

This dude was just smooth, simple as that. Enjoying the lateness that is the SS this week.

Tonight, after my nearly-four-year-old son’s hour-long tantrum culminating in him being held down in the car so he wouldn’t unbuckle his seatbelt or hit my husband, I said while clearly shaken-up: What if I had been by myself? What would I’ve done? Person who shall remain anonymous: God doesn’t give you more than you can handle. Me: So what about someone who commits suicide? God’s like: Oops. Misjudged THAT one . Because seriously, what does that platitude even mean? It’s said a hundred different ways, but it all sounds the same to me: God has given you CRAP and you better deal with it... smiling. And if you don’t deal? Doesn’t that mean your God isn’t omniscient? Which is kind of an important part of the definition in most mono-theist conceptions of a god. Or putting suicide aside, what if the person handles it with heroin? A fifth of Jack Daniels? Unprotected sex? Violence? (Because I would’ve LOVED to handle this afternoon with violence. Or at least duct tape.) ...

Bring in Mary and Mary: Who will say Hosea out the loudest? May you enter a city that won't back stab you a few days later (unless it was your destiny to do so of course). Also today, may you not plant your palm or palms in the ground and expect a few harvest up. Again, congrats to Marvin Sapp making history for gospel music . Good times indeed, and may you be blessed this Sunday everyone. And don't say " Hosanna " out too loud.

Bring in Mary, Mary's "Heaven" ladies and gentlemen........ The standout passage of many standout passages for this week: Luke 14:11 For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. Some related links : From the underrated " Baptist Joint Committee Blog ", "Why Religious Discrimination With Public Money Matters." A quality piece for how a Christian in Chawkat Journey has had a lifelong journey with Islam. And Christianity Today explains how journalism shouldn't just be our job . Finally, Catholic Bishops across America say that they are the only Catholic group that understands health care . Forgive them for their stupidity. Your Sunday Sunshine for this week......here's Donnie McClurkin's classic "Psalm 27 " God bless in your good and bad, success and struggle, rise and fail, and life of life.

( Note: This series is just dedicated to giving a thought of encouragement for those possibly going through difficulty or struggle. This post is in no ways trying to convince those to switch to another faith or drastically change their life style. And yes, for those who didn't know, I am Christian ) Oh Mary Mary....sing that classic again: The return of Sunday Soulful, a spiritual moment for your soul here at The Whole Delivery Sunday and Weekend. The word of the week, from the epistle to the Romans from Paul, looks at dealing with times of despair for those in the New Year (and hopefully, for the rest of your life): 1Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 4And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 5And hope maketh ...

Come in Mary Mary

As always, a Sunday tradition.

The usual wonderful selection, a staple of TWD Weekend that I am certainly proud of : More to come.

Another week of this wonderful series, but another week where I just have this wonderful Mary Mary song to show for it....lol. Enjoy, and I promise you, this series will take off more next week everyone.

The word for the day....Ecclesiastes Chapter 3, enough said there: Returning once again, Mary Mary's "Heaven" Karen Clark Sheard- 2nd Chance Peace and God bless to your Sunday.

From the great year of music of 2001 again, here is Case's "Missing You."

Sunday Sunshine is a little late today, but here it is: The Word For the Week: Ecclesiastes 3: 1 "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. I suggest reading the rest of the entire chapter if you aren't familiar with it , Christian or non- Christian, atheist or agnostic, whoever or whatever. And a few videos to share as usual: First, Hezekiah Walker's "Souled Out" Also, because it is such a great song, here's Mary Mary's "Heaven" from last week. Hope your Sunday was a blessing, as well as this week's Sunday Sunshine.

Yes, it's this week's Sunday Sunrise! Featuring: The Word of the week, from Luke 14:11 "For he who abases himself shall be exalted, and he who exalts himself shall be humble. " And this week's video. It's the classic "Heaven" song from the dynamic duo that is " Mary Mary ": May this week's "Sunday Sunrise" be a blessings to you. And as week continues, "Sunday Sunrise" will continue to progress. Take care, and may God bless you your entire week.

Your weekly spiritual uplifting thread every Sunday here at The Whole Delivery. Donnie McClurkin's "Great Is Your Mercy." Yolanda Adams' "This Too Shall Pass" May this thread fulfill the spiritual awakening you need. Stay blessed, and overcome adversity. I'm off to church, see you later in the day! UPDATE: By the way, this post is the site's 800 post! Congrats TWD.

As The Whole Delivery slowly returns to full capacity, it brings Sunday Sunrise out of the achieves, it is your place for uplifting refuge, whether your spiritual or not, religious or not, Christian, Muslim, Jewish, atheist, agnostic, whatever. Though it truly has a Christian lean, The Sunday Sunrise just hopes to make your day better. There will be just a couple items to share here. If you don't know about this site called Street Prophets , and you're a religious person, please do yourself a favor and explore it. And if you aren't a religious person....please do explore it too. And from William Murphy, you'll get on your feet when you hear "I Will Rejoice." There will be more next Sunday. Until then, God bless and stay life!

First, the classic, "Easy like a Sunday morning......" From, of course, Lionel Richie and the Commodores. Easy (like Sunday morning) - Lionel Richie Certainly the fam will like that. Then, here is Donnie McClurkin, with the very deep "Just For Me", one of my favorite songs ever: Man, that one is a real tearjerker. Finally on Sunday Sunrise for this Sunday, we highlight one of our two videos selected in "The Flashback" this week , with Telvin Campbell's "Tomorrow (Better You, Better Me)". And no matter what your non-religious or religious position is, as PBS' Tavis Smiley would say, "Keep the faith." Peace.
