The Sunday Confessions with McKing: He's a Flower not a Cactus

Image
The Sunday Confessions with McKing: The Guy is a Flower not a Cactus. So I'm back with my sophomore confession and I must say it's something I never expected. So let's get to it. As a guy other guys didn't classify me as one of them. I was always the different one. The one they couldn't relate to and I couldn't so the disco ball was more of a disconnect. He shoots, he misses... away from the net. I made peace with it. I made female friends easier and you may say it's because I'm fruity (what does my sexual orientation have to do with this? Okay fine it has everything to do with it, I think...) Only a few male friends managed to understand me and welcome me to their space without trying to turn me into what society approves as a man. It felt great but still I felt like some special case. Whenever they got down and dirty, I was told to sit back. I'm too soft and it's not a job for someone like me..(Yeah you'r...

Faith Avenue: The Helper & The Helpless

Faith Avenue: The Helper & The Helpless THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27TH, 2022. DIVINE CONNECTION DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY OLADELE T•E THEME: THE HELPER AND THE HELPLESS! TEXT: [NKJV] JOHN 5:6-8 When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, "Do you want to be made well?" [7] The sick man answered Him, "Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me." [8] Jesus said to him, "Rise, take up your bed and walk." Help usually exists where there is a close contact or cordial relationship between the helper and the helpless. Before help can be released from the helper to the helpless, there must have been a relationship or a close contact between them. God is an helper to every man that is helpless and for His help to be released, every man that wants to receive help from Him must initiate a cordial relationship with Him...

Faith Avenue: A Product Of God's Help

Faith Avenue: A Product Of God's Help WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26TH, 2022. DIVINE CONNECTION DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY OLADELE T•E THEME: A PRODUCT OF GOD'S HELP! TEXT: [NKJV] JOHN 5:8-9 Jesus said to him, "Rise, take up your bed and walk." [9] And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked. And that day was the Sabbath. A product of God's help is a result or an evidence of God's help. When the help of God is released to a man and that help successfully delivers solution to the unpleasant situation affecting him, then he can indeed be regarded as a product of God's help. When the help of God is released to the advantage of a man that has been disadvantaged, the result that follows becomes so evident that the man himself and other people around him would recognize that it is God that has indeed showed up for him. The help of God is the solution provided by God and released to solve or fix the problems of an helpless or a disadvantaged ma...

Avenue opinion: Rights of sex workers

Image
 Rights Of Sex Workers! Sex work or rather, prostitution dates back to as early as 2400 BC, making it one of the earliest occupation or paying job in history. Yes! prostitution has been around for that long, around 5000 years and is known as the earkiest occupation known to mankind. Being one of the earliest form of work, one gets to wonder why it is still frowned apon... Believe it or not, the earliest brothels were owned by priests, Sumerian priests to be exact. these brothels were called a temple-brothel. Prostitutes or workers who worked in in these temples were ranked in three different classes. The first class of workers were only allowed to perform sexual acts in the temple, the second class of workers had access to the grounds and catered for guests as well. the third or low class of workers were free to find customers on the streets as they pleased.  Since then, the adult entertainment sector has largely changed and there has been conflict on whether or not prostituti...
