For many years any association with Jesus Christ have portrayed him as white in color and for most Christian this has been an acceptable portrayal. I was born and raised in the United States of America and for the majority of my life I have consider myself to be of the Christian faith which makes me a follower of the teachings of Jesus Christ. One of the most important teachings that were express by Jesus was that we love each other.
Getting back to the title of this article, the United States along has one of the largest Christian faith structures in the world. There are millions of followers of Jesus Christ here of all nationality and colors. I often think what if it was proven that Jesus was proven beyond a shadow of a doubt to be a black man what would happen to Christianity here in the United States. Would religion of the Christian belief in the United States change from how we now know it? My belief of this would be yes, it shouldn’t, but I know in my heart that it would.
I know that this article is a sore subject in the mind of many but each of us know ourselves and our beliefs. So I would like each one of you think about this and leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

You Can Only Count on YOU!
Here is an article that I would like to share with you my readers. The writer is one of my favorite authors.
My dear friend, Greg Joseph, told me years ago, "There is only one person you can trust in this world... yourself." I got very frustrated with this remark until he fully explained what he meant. He told me that if you trust yourself and your inner guidance then you will always be on track. He didn't mean that other people were untrustworthy. It's just that everyone is attracting through their own focus and perception. Trust your wisdom and you'll always be led down a perfect path.
Today his advice couldn't be more important. Here in the United States, many people have been focused on the chaos in the real estate and mortgage worlds. The economy has been a huge focus in the presidential campaigns. Now we have huge companies going bankrupt and the government is doing their best (this fact would be up for debate by many!) to smooth things out. Where has your focus been when it comes to a down economy? Are you bracing for the worst? When your family, friends and clients speak to you from a place of panic, what do you tell them?
It's easy to jump into fear with the masses when times are tough. It happens with natural disasters and terrorism, too. We imagine the worst. We empathize with the people who are most impacted. We feeeeel horrible!
I'd like to offer you a way to jump out of the fear and into certainty. It goes back to trusting yourself. If you are always creating your reality by giving your focus to a topic, then focus on what you want, not what is unwanted. Focusing on the worst that could happen is not really making your situation better anyway. Decide what is that you DO want. You cannot intend for the rest of the world but you can impact your situation. You can also be a soother to your family, friends and clients. By soothing their fears, it will be easier for them to come back to their inner guidance and impact their situations from a more powerful perspective.
Yes, there are facts happening out the world that aren't so pretty. But let those facts motivate you to do what you can to create a better situation for yourself and others. Educate yourself about what solutions are possible. Go with the choices that feel good to you. Above and beyond all else, trust yourself and your decisions. Be the person that lands feet on the ground, shoulders back and smiling.
