Primary Thoughts of Late

Posted on March 14, 2011 | 4 Comments

I can’t believe it’s been two weeks since my last post. I’ve really let time slip away from me. I guess springtime brings forth life in many ways in my family. We’ve been busy. I don’t really have anything specific to say at this point, but I’ve had some random thoughts lately.

I was thinking about it the other day and realized that you can’t give someone the wrong number any more. We’ve all had those encounters where we really didn’t feel like being bothered with making that connection. Or when the conversation was Continue reading →

Sunday’s Primary Thought

Posted on January 23, 2011 | 7 Comments

cake Melanie Richardson primarythoughts.net writer model actorIf you give someone the power to encourage you, you’ve given them the power to discourage you.

Some people understand that power and will use it to their ultimate benefit. Encouragement from God is Sunday dinner, encouragement from people is dessert. You should nourish your body with encouragement through God’s word because it’s consistent. A person’s encouragement is simply dessert. You must know how to live without it.

Ya momma used to say, “So are you going to jump…

jumping off bridge Melanie Richardson @ primarythoughts.net“So are you going to jump off a bridge, just because your friends do?” I know we’ve all heard this before and most would like to say at this point “as adults” that we no longer follow the crowd. We some intelgant inpendint enviduels, right?

Well, I have to ask a question in regards to dating and relationships.

I have heard women say, many times, “he’s not just sleeping with me, so what do I owe him… or he’s not committed to me, so I’ll sleep with whomever I want…” I’ve actually heard a couple of men say this, too.

When I hear these type of comments, I hear my momma sound off that old saying. And… I understand that you don’t want to commit to someone who isn’t committed to you. I get that, but what about the commitment to yourself? For some sex is sex, but I see it on so many different levels. At its most basic – you are giving someone authority over your body. How does “he does what he does, so ima do what I do” ever factor into this decision process?

If you know someone who has these views or you’ve said this before yourself, are you really saying that because he lays down with multiple partners that you do to? Or is it pride talking? And if it’s pride, have you really thought about how this sounds? It’s kinda contradictory to self-worth, really. Because he doesn’t value his, you don’t value yours… so you’re proud to devalue yourself? I just don’t get it.
