[A Good Word] 1000 Distractions – Domo
Solomon is regarded as the wisest man to ever live but even he had a little thorn in his flesh. In I Kings 11, Solomon had an affinity for “Strange Women.” As you read through the chapter, it’s revealed that God warned Solomon twice 
that his affection for these women would drive him farther away from God. I must note that “Strange” in the biblical context doesn’t mean “odd” or “obscene.” It means that these women prescribed to cultures and practices that did not glorify God. Sound familiar?
The lust of the flesh overtook Solomon causing him to ignore the voice of God. The scripture said that Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines. Perhaps Solomon thought that he could somehow maintain his relationship with God while entertaining these distractions. Maybe he thought that he could live with both the distraction and God. It was less likely that Solomon turned his back on God overnight. It was a process. Reminds me of that scripture that says that the little fox destroys the vine. Little by little, Solomon turned his back on God. God wasn’t having it! He disappointed and angered God. God told Solomon that he was going to take all that he had given him and give it to his very own servant.
The message here is that you cannot maintain the gift that God has given AND entertain those things that do not glorify God. Solomon was a man of great wisdom but allowed distractions to separate him from destiny. What is distracting you? What do you allow to come between you and your father? Get rid of it before it gets rid of you!

[Style] Three Black Fashion Designers You Should Know About!
Beyonce, Sheree and Lisa are not really fashion designers. Someone else sketches up the ideas, sews up the patterns and showcases the final product! There are some REAL designers thatare often overlooked even though they are doing BIG things for themselves! I just wanted to point out a few! Just a few!
Tracy Reese: “In Spring 1998, Reese launched her eponymous collection, which had a distinct girly, yet charming and luxurious look. Later that year, she introduced a second line, plenty by Tracy Reese, a bohemian, ethnic-inspired collection.”
Stephen Burrows: ”Burrows was thrust into the limelight when Stephen Burrows’ World opened at Henri Bendel in 1970. Cher, Diana Ross and Jerry Hall were a few of his famous clients in the 70s. He celebrated his 40th year as a designer in 2006 and continues to design collections to this day.”
This man’s client list is beyond amazing! His name ought to be named amoung the Black pioneers on the fashion industry! I was suprised when reading about him!

Patrick Robinson: “Robinson has held the position of executive vice-president of design at Gap Adult and gapbody since May 2007. Before that, he worked for Paco Rabanne, Giorgio Armani, Anne Klein and Perry Ellis.”
These are just a few! There are so many more! Check out thefrisky.com for more!
[Lists] Words that I couldn’t Say as a Child
Growing up, there were a few words we didn’t get to say! We were told that “Saints kids” acted differently. Anything that reminded the old folks of a curse word was not to be said! Here are a few!
1. Dang. Nope. Too much like “damn.” That word isn’t even a curse word… but nope.. don’t be heard saying it!
2. Huh? This is what you thought but NOT what you said. It came out sounding a lot more like, “Yes ma’am.”
3. What? Ever been in the grocery store and heard a kid respond to his/her parents with such a term? NEVER@!
4. Shoot! No, we don’t do violence! I’m not letting my kids use this word either. Too much like that other four-letter word!
5. Gosh! Couldnt use those word at all! Usually, it was use to communicate frustration. Nope. You weren’t allowed to be frustrated! LOL!
6. Jeez. Nope! Tooo much like saying the Lord’s name in vain. Not happening!
Of course, there are the obvious words! What about you? Any words you couyldn’t say?
