Anticipating Economic Decline; Safeguarding Finances and Making Informed Choices
In our evolving landscape it's crucial to predict and prepare for possible economic decline. Whether it is on a global scale or locally, understanding the signs and taking proactive steps can help protect your finances and enable you to make informed decisions. This article explores indicators of collapse emphasizing the significance of transparency and communication in relationships as well as shedding light on the historical and biblical context. By delving into these topics related to finances we gain insights on developing strategies to navigate the uncertain future of our economy.
Indicators of Economic Decline
The first step in predicting decline involves recognizing indicators. As the saying goes "what goes up must come down." It is crucial to remain aware of trends and developments that may signify a downturn. In the economy, red flags include interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, large amounts of money being shifted within the stock market, job loss, a slowdown in consumer spending as well as global economic risks like the conflict in Ukraine and rising interest rates. These indicators and more underscore the need for measures and proactive financial planning.
Transparency and Communication in Relationships
While the main focus of this message centers around predicting financial decline, it's essential to recognize the impact that financial decisions have on relationships. Whether you're single living with a family member or close friend or married, understanding your or a loved one's future is crucial. Engaging in honest conversations about money matters, debts, spending habits, and future plans is vital for building trust and making informed choices. By addressing these topics you can prevent potential conflicts and ensure compatibility when it comes to finances.
The Historical and Biblical Context
To gain further comprehension of how desperate one might be for financial gain, consider the following historical events and biblical narratives. Take the story of Ahab and Naboth's vineyard as an example; it showcases the repercussions of corruption. Pursuing wealth at the expense of others. This cautionary tale serves as a reminder of the significance of decision-making while highlighting the consequences of greed. Similarly, consider the parable of the fool that emphasizes how futile it is to chase material possessions without considering spiritual growth and maturity or being prepared for life's inevitable end. These stories act as reminders for us to prioritize our values and integrity over pursuits.
Implications and Potential Impact
The frustrations and challenges we encounter in today's climate have far-reaching implications.
From taxation and inefficient use of funds to disparity and governmental misconduct, these issues undermine trust and instill a sense of powerlessness among the general population. Many people feel like the system is stacked against them resulting in unrest and potential conflicts within society. It is vital to tackle these concerns head-on and strive for transparency, accountability, and fairness in both political systems.
In summary, accurately predicting an economic downturn necessitates a grasp of indicators and open lines of communication in relationships as well as a historical and moral perspective rooted in biblical teachings. By being able to identify the warning signs of fragility we can take steps to safeguard our financial well-being and make informed choices. Transparency and effective communication within relationships play a role in establishing harmony and building trust. Historical events along with references serve as reminders of the consequences that arise from corruption while highlighting the significance of decision making. As we navigate through the future we must address the frustrations and challenges we encounter while working towards a more just system that embraces fairness alongside transparency. In doing so, we can shape a future that's both financially secure and morally principled.

Promoting Health and Joy: Managing Diabetes in African American Families During the Holidays
The holiday season is a time of joyful family get-togethers and delicious food that everyone looks forward to. However, for our people, this festive period can also present health challenges that we all need to be aware of. Recent data, from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows that African Americans face a burden of health issues compared to other racial groups. While these challenges are not exclusive to the holiday season they can be more prominent during this time. This blog post aims to shed light on some health challenges that affect our families during the holidays and offers tips on how to prevent them.
The Impact of Diabetes on African-American Communities
Diabetes is a condition that affects millions of Americans but has a higher prevalence among African Americans. According to the American Diabetes Association, 13.4% of non-Hispanic black individuals over the age of 20 have been diagnosed with diabetes compared to 7.5% for non-Hispanic whites in 2023. This disparity becomes more apparent when considering age groups. African Americans are twice as likely as their white counterparts to have diabetes.
One possible reason behind this inequality could be limited access to quality healthcare and educational resources in communities.
Research has demonstrated that there are disparities in healthcare access and health outcomes between African Americans and other demographic groups. This discrepancy can lead to poorly managed diabetes, which may result in complications and even loss of life.
Preventing Health Challenges During the Holiday Season
The holiday season is a time when grandma, auntie, uncs, cousins and you all know the rest tend to indulge often leading to overeating, excessive alcohol consumption, and neglecting physical activity. For loved ones with health conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure, this can be particularly detrimental. Here are some recommendations for your people and mine to maintain their well-being during the holidays.
1. Opt out of traditional food choices (ribs, ham, chitterlings, sweet potato cobblers, pound cakes...soul food in general) that are high in sugar, fat, and sodium content consider healthier alternatives like roasted vegetables whole grain breads, and lean proteins. It's also essential to keep an eye on portion sizes and avoid piling up plates and going for seconds, thirds, etc.
2. Stay physically active: While it may be tempting to spend most of the time relaxing until you fall asleep on Grandma's comfy sofa after a meal, strive to remain physically active during the holiday season. Take a walk after dinner, engage in a tag football game or basketball, run with your younger kinfolk, or explore other activities that motivate you to move like dancing in the soul train line, "Get up now!"
3. Regularly monitor blood sugar levels: If you have diabetes or if you know someone who does it's crucial to monitor blood sugar levels throughout the holiday period which means you or a loved one will need to pull out the monitor and check your "sugar" regardless of who is around. Your "business" becomes everybody's business if the paramedics are called.
Stick to your routine as much as possible and remember to take any necessary medications.
4. Stay connected with loved ones: The holidays can be a time for individuals but it's crucial to stay connected with family and friends. If you're feeling overwhelmed or lonely reach out. Talk to someone who cares.
5. Take measures against the flu: Influenza tends to be more prevalent during the winter months along with C-19 and everything else! Stay home when you feel under the weather. Visit a doctor, wear a mask in close quarters whether vaccinated or not, and practice good hygiene such as hand-washing to reduce the risk of getting sick.
6. Safely prepare meals: Do not leave food out for long periods of time. Research how much time certain foods are good to leave out before refrigerating. In addition, avoid cross-contamination by spreading raw meat juices around. All utensils, cutting boards, countertops, knobs, and handles must be properly disinfected.
To sum up, while the holiday season brings joy and warmth to so many of our people, be mindful of health challenges. You seriously do not want to see your loved ones in the hospital with tubes up their noses or prematurely in a casket, or even yourself snapping selfies in a medical gown this time of year!
By taking steps towards prevention and prioritizing safety during this season we can all enjoy meaningful moments with our loved ones.
May God bless you and yours!

Human Behaviors That Violate Societal Norms: A Historical Perspective
Picture this. Everywhere you go people are doing what they want.
Running in and out of stores taking what they want.
Urinating in parking lots.
Having sex in public places.
Drag racing in broad daylight.
Yelling at one another.
Robbing homes.
People shopping naked.
Men hitting women.
Women hitting men.
People spreading lies without consequences.
Babies left out in the middle of the street.
Animals attacking humans.
Groups fighting other groups.
Elementary school students attempting to drive cars.
Social media has provided us with many examples of the most disturbing things people do when no one isn't the least bit interested in following or enforcing laws. Many platforms videos, articles, blogs, and posts remind us daily of what people are "getting away with." Creating chaos has been growing into a societal norm whether provoked or not, true or false, fact or fiction.
Society operates on a set of rules known as norms which guide our behavior and interactions with others. These norms vary across cultures. Play a role in maintaining order and harmony. However, there are instances when human behavior deviates from these norms resulting in actions that are considered taboo or even criminal. Throughout history, we've witnessed behaviors that were once acceptable but are now deemed unacceptable and subject to consequences.
This is why when many of us grew up our parents didn't want us talking to or hanging around certain people, because they didn't want us to mimic behaviors that were considered unacceptable when shopping, working, or playing with loved ones, friends, or strangers. Yet, we live among those who believe anything goes and have no conscience about what they promote, because they are the ones who are troubled in mind, body, and spirit. For instance, if a sick mind believes something is "fun, great" no matter how disruptive it might be to society, they don't mind promoting their false belief system until they finally realize, "Who am I kidding, this is sick--I am sick?"
The Evolution of Societal Norms
Societal norms are not fixed; they are constantly changing over time. There is a danger to so many changes, that the lines of good and evil become blurred. What was once considered acceptable during one era may no longer be tolerated in another. This evolution is influenced by factors, including advancements and shifts in cultural beliefs. For instance, the rise of smartphones has significantly impacted our communication patterns and expectations of privacy. They have also added to much confusion in many households including arguments about spending far too much time and energy on one's phone.
Controlling Deviant Behaviors
When individuals engage in behaviors that go against norms it can disrupt harmony and lead to harm within the community, for example stealing, fighting publicly, or often showing up late for work. Consequently, there is a need for mechanisms to control and regulate behaviors. In the past punishment was often employed as a means to uphold norms sometimes even resulting in penalties or death for those who strayed from the expected standards.
Punishment Across Groups
Throughout the century numerous instances occurred where certain ethnic groups faced persecution and punishment for their actions.
During World War II Jews, in Nazi Germany were killed because of their beliefs and cultural practices which were viewed as different from what society deemed acceptable at that time. Similarly, African Americans in the United States faced segregation and discrimination due to their behaviors and mannerisms.
However, as our understanding of behavior has progressed over time so have our perspectives on what is considered deviant behavior. Many actions that were once considered taboo or even criminal are now celebrated. For example, homosexuality was previously regarded as deviant in societies. It is now widely recognized as a normal aspect of human sexuality.
Changing Perspectives
Consider why were past behaviors marked as deviant? Compare restrictions of yesteryear compared to no restrictions of modern-day times. Could it be that some behaviors (notice not ALL behaviors nor the humans participating in those behaviors are wrong) are in fact disruptive and are causing more problems than solutions? Time to re-evaluate what is permissible and not. What is healthy and functional compared to what is unhealthy and dysfunctional? It's okay to admit, "I was wrong about this. This really isn't a good idea. I should have known better. Let's re-evaluate the data."
Psychology
The field of psychology has played a role in shaping our comprehension of norms and deviant behaviors. Through research and observation, psychologists have been able to uncover the causes behind these behaviors and develop interventions to address them. These insights have also contributed to the creation of laws and policies aimed at safeguarding individuals from discrimination based on their behavior.
Laws
Laws are essential for maintaining order and fostering a functioning society. They act as a deterrent against behaviors while also providing consequences for those who violate norms. They are what keep you from retaliating against a gun-toting, urinating, naked man standing in your driveway threatening to go into your house and take your hard-earned treasures tucked away in your home. Let's hope you don't have to experience something like that, but what about someone somewhere who lives in a lawless society having to take matters into his or her own hands? When things are allowed to get out of hand, human rights are violated.
While there may be differing opinions on the restrictiveness of laws it is widely recognized that they serve a role in safeguarding the well-being of individuals and society as a whole.
In conclusion, societal norms play a role in guiding our behavior and interactions with others. However, there are instances when human behavior deviates from these norms resulting in consequences and penalties. As our understanding of psychology deepens and we continue to evolve our perspectives on behaviors will also undergo transformation. Laws are indispensable for maintaining order and protecting individuals from harm. They can also be adapted to align with evolving norms. Therefore let us work towards creating a society where everyone is treated with respect and understanding regardless of their conduct or beliefs.
Let us always remember to approach others with empathy and understanding even when their actions may differ from what is considered conventional. It is through compassion and education that we can progress towards an inclusive and accepting society. While laws are necessary for upholding order it is our actions and attitudes, toward one another that truly shape our norms. As we continue to learn and develop, let us strive toward building a world where everyone's uniqueness is celebrated and valued rather than dismissed or attacked.
We should also contribute to fostering a society that celebrates diversity and values each person's uniqueness while also feeling comfortable establishing our own personal boundaries and abiding by necessary laws. It is through this endeavor that we can shape a brighter future for ourselves and the next generations.

False Accusations: Unraveling the Jealousy Within by Nicholl, Host of YouTube Channel NM Enterprise 7
Jealousy is a prevalent emotion that often leads to false accusations. Many individuals find themselves being unjustly accused of jealousy simply because they choose to live contentedly and prioritize their own happiness. These individuals have their own lives, families, and careers, and they are not interested in the materialistic pursuits or accomplishments of others. However, it is ironic that those who accuse others of jealousy are often the ones harboring jealousy themselves. In this thought-provoking article, we will delve into the root causes of false accusations and explore the impact they can have on relationships and personal growth.
The Accuser's Jealousy
Jealousy is a complex emotion that can manifest in various ways. Some individuals are quick to accuse others of jealousy because they themselves are envious of the contentment and success that others possess. They may feel threatened by those who choose to live differently or prioritize different aspects of life. These accusers may label others as jealous when they are confronted with uncomfortable truths or when they feel insecure about their own choices and accomplishments. Secretly they're the ones who are jealous while they're accusing you.
Running Away from Responsibility
In some cases, false accusations of jealousy stem from individuals who are running away from their own responsibilities and challenges. They may choose to avoid difficult conversations or situations by distracting themselves with trivial pursuits or seeking temporary relief in external sources. These individuals may run away from their own problems by indulging in excessive spending, seeking validation from others, or engaging in destructive behaviors. It is important to address these underlying issues instead of accusing others of jealousy. It is important to have tough conversations and face the challenges that lie ahead.
The Mask of Passive Aggression
Jealous individuals often resort to passive-aggressive behavior as a means of expressing their envy. They may make snide remarks, engage in subtle criticisms, or spread rumors in an attempt to undermine others. These individuals' passive-aggressive tactics only reveal their own insecurities and lack of emotional maturity. I encourage you not to stoop to their level and instead entrust these individuals to God, allowing Him to deal with the situation.
Unveiling the Root Causes
To truly understand the dynamics of false accusations, it is essential to delve into the root causes of jealousy. Consider the impact of childhood experiences, particularly in competitive environments where favoritism is prevalent. These experiences can shape an individual's perception of themselves and others, leading to deep-seated feelings of inadequacy and envy. I encourage individuals to confront these emotions, express their hurt, and work towards personal growth and healing.
Breaking the Cycle of Jealousy
Breaking free from the cycle of jealousy requires self-reflection, accountability, and a commitment to personal growth. I advise individuals to acknowledge their own shortcomings, confess their sins, and seek forgiveness. By taking responsibility for their actions and working towards becoming better individuals, they can break free from the grip of jealousy. It is essential to do the following: read God's word, seek spiritual guidance and/or psychological counseling, and surround oneself with positive influences to foster personal growth and overcome jealousy.
Implications and Potential Impact
False accusations of jealousy can have far-reaching implications on relationships and personal well-being. Accusations can strain familial bonds, create rifts between friends, and hinder personal growth. Welcome conversations consisting of open and honest communication, as well as the importance of setting boundaries with jealous individuals. By addressing the root causes of jealousy and fostering a supportive environment, individuals can create healthier relationships and promote personal growth.
Future Outlook
In conclusion, false accusations of jealousy often stem from the accuser's own envy and insecurities. It is essential to recognize the root causes of jealousy and work towards personal growth and healing. By confronting our own emotions, expressing our hurt, and seeking professional guidance, we can break free from the cycle of jealousy and foster healthier relationships. Moving forward, it is crucial to prioritize healthy dialogue, set boundaries with jealous individuals, and surround ourselves with positive influences. By doing so, we can create a future where we are not disturbed by others' false accusations and jealous emotions of us while cultivating a life of contentment and personal growth.

We Can't Make People Change: Embracing the Reality
In today's world, many of us find ourselves in a constant battle to make others see our point of view and change their ways. Whether it's in our personal relationships or in the larger context of society, we often become frustrated when people refuse to be the person, we want them to be. We start organizations, donate to charities, and fight for change, only to be met with resistance from those who are unwilling to change. But the truth is, we can't make people change. People are going to feel the way they feel, and we must learn to accept that. In this thought-provoking message, we will explore the reasons why people resist change, the impact of their actions, and the importance of self-reflection and personal growth in navigating these challenges.
Check out the podcast on YouTube channel: NM Enterprise 7
The Clutching of the Purse: Understanding Resistance to Change
One powerful example of resistance to change is illustrated in a personal encounter with an African American man and an Asian woman. The man, trying to be helpful, informed the woman that the store they were visiting only accepted cash. In response, the woman clutched her purse, triggering a defensive reaction from the man. This encounter highlights the deep-rooted fears and prejudices that can influence our behavior, even when we are aware of the discrimination faced by others. The woman's actions were not solely about the man's race; they reflected her own experiences and the need to protect herself. This serves as a reminder that people's actions are often driven by their own fears and past traumas, and it is not always about us.
The Limitations of Change
While it is important to advocate for change and fight against injustice, we must also recognize that not everyone is willing or able to change. We cannot force someone to alter their beliefs or behaviors if they are not open to it. We may encounter individuals who are resistant to change due to their own individual experiences, cultural background, or deeply ingrained biases. It is crucial to understand that change is a personal journey, and we cannot impose it on others. Instead, we must focus on what we can control and make changes within ourselves.
Examining Our Own Resistance to Change
In our quest for change, we must also examine our own resistance to change. Are we holding onto past hurts and allowing them to shape our interactions with others? Are we clutching onto our own fears and prejudices, preventing us from truly connecting with those around us? It is essential to acknowledge our own biases and work through deep-rooted issues that may be hindering our ability to embrace change. By letting go of our own emotional baggage, we can create space for growth and understanding.
The Need for Mental Health and Education
Before we can effectively advocate for change and create organizations or initiatives, we must prioritize our own mental health and education. It is not enough to be motivated by negative experiences or a desire for justice. We must seek counseling, education, and personal growth to ensure that we are equipped to navigate the challenges that come with advocating for change. By addressing our own mental well-being, we can approach these issues with logic, reason, and empathy, rather than allowing our emotions to dictate our actions.
Embracing Change and Letting Go
As we navigate the complexities of change, it is important to recognize that not everyone is called to create organizations or lead movements. Some individuals may be better suited to other paths, such as returning to school or pursuing a different career. We must be open to the possibility that our calling may change and be willing to let go of what no longer serves us. Change is inevitable, and it is our responsibility to adapt and grow with it.
The Implications and Impact of Change
Change can be both empowering and challenging. It can lead to personal growth, new opportunities, and a greater understanding of ourselves and others. However, it can also be met with resistance, pushback, and even loss. When we choose to embrace change, we must be prepared for the consequences and potential impact it may have on our lives. It may require us to let go of relationships, jobs, or even our own identities. But in doing so, we open ourselves up to new possibilities and the potential for a more fulfilling and purposeful life.
Conclusion and Future Outlook
In a world that is constantly changing, it is essential to recognize that we cannot force others to change. People will feel the way they feel, and it is not our place to impose our beliefs or expectations on them. Instead, we must focus on our own personal growth, mental well-being, and education. By letting go of our own resistance to change and embracing the reality that not everyone will change, we can create space for understanding, empathy, and connection. As we move forward, let us approach change with an open mind and a willingness to adapt, knowing that true change begins within ourselves.

12 Warning Signs Your Relationship Might Be in Trouble by Nicholl McGuire
No one wants their relationship to end – yet, each year, nearly 800,000 marriages take a turn for the worse and end in divorce. While there are many factors that can lead to the dissolution of a marriage or long-term relationship, it might be helpful to know some of the common signs that suggest your relationship isn't likely to make it in the long run.
Below, we've compiled a list of twelve red flags you should watch out for if you think your relationship might be in trouble:
- Denial – One partner refusing to acknowledge important issues or problems, especially ones that are causing distress in the other partner, is often a sign that the relationship won't last much longer.
- Defensiveness – When one partner is consistently defensive and unwilling to take responsibility for their part in the relationship, it can cause the other partner to feel unsupported and eventually lead to a breakup.
- Assumptions – Unchecked assumptions about the intentions of your partner or what they should be doing in the relationship can also create tension and resentment, making it difficult to sustain the relationship over time.
- Lying – Dishonesty, whether it's small white lies or bigger deceptions, can cause serious trust issues that are hard to overcome in a long-term relationship.
- Controlling behaviors – If one partner is trying to control the other partner's behavior or decisions, this could be a sign that the relationship is not healthy and could lead to a breakup.
- Emotional abuse – Emotional abuse, whether it's verbal or mental, can cause serious harm to a relationship by creating an atmosphere of fear and mistrust between partners.
- Competitive – When partners start competing with each other instead of supporting one another, it can create a toxic environment and lead to the breakdown of a relationship.
- Unforgiving – Not being able to forgive one another's mistakes or shortcomings can create an unbearable situation where neither partner feels fully appreciated or respected.
- Ignoring – When one partner stops listening to the other or seems uninterested in their perspectives, it can be extremely difficult for them to work through problems and make a relationship last.
- Pouting – If one partner becomes resentful or sulks whenever they don't get their way, it can be difficult for the other partner to negotiate with them in a healthy way.
- Backstabbing – Talking behind your partner's back to friends or family members is never a good sign and can cause serious damage to the relationship.
- Manipulations – Trying to manipulate or guilt-trip your partner into doing what you want can be a sign that the relationship is built on an unhealthy foundation and may not survive in the long run.
Being aware of these warning signs can help you identify potential problems early on in a relationship and work through them before they become too serious. With the right kind of proactive communication, it's possible to get back on track and save your relationship. But if you find that these red flags are consistently present in your own relationship, it might be time to consider getting out before things reach a breaking point.
According to a recent study from Harvard University, the leading causes of divorce are lack of commitment, infidelity, and communication issues. If you recognize any of these issues in your own relationship, it could be a sign that you need to take action and start addressing the underlying problems before they get worse.
Whether it's seeking help from a qualified therapist or simply taking some time apart to get perspective on your situation, the sooner you act, the better chance you have of saving your relationship before it becomes too late.
Relationship problems don't usually resolve themselves overnight, but with commitment and effort, it's possible to repair the damage and reignite the spark that brought you together in the first place. Taking a few simple steps now may just be what saves your relationship down the road.

What People Can Do to Educate One Another About Their Culture
One way to teach people about one's culture is through storytelling. This can be done in person or online, and can involve sharing stories, experiences, personal histories, and family traditions that are unique to a particular culture. Storytelling is a powerful tool for passing on cultural knowledge and creating an understanding of different cultures. Additionally, it’s an effective way to bring people together over shared experiences and introduce them to new perspectives on history and customs that they may not have otherwise encountered.
Another effective method for teaching others about one's culture is having open conversations with those from other backgrounds. Having frank discussions about the challenges faced by individuals from different ethnicities—even if these issues aren’t necessarily related to one’s own culture—can be a powerful learning experience. By engaging in active listening and asking questions, it’s possible to gain new insights into the experiences of others while also showing respect for those viewpoints.
Finally, another way to teach people about one's culture is to introduce them to different forms of art. Participating in activities such as music, dance, literature, or even painting can help to bring cultures together in meaningful ways that go beyond basic conversations. People can learn a great deal by exploring how other cultures express themselves artistically and enjoying the beauty of different artistic styles from around the world.
These are just some of the many methods for teaching individuals about one's culture and opening them up to understanding more about the experiences of others. By doing so, we can create a better world for everyone by fostering greater acceptance and appreciation of different cultures.
In conclusion, teaching people about one's culture doesn’t have to be complicated or intimidating; it just requires an open mind and a willingness to learn from those who might not share the same background as oneself. Through storytelling, conversations, and art, it’s possible to create a more unified and understanding global community.
