The Ghetto State of Mind

                     The Ghetto State of Mind  The Ghetto state of mind is an intriguing concept. In my hometown this mind set is on an upscale. It has always been there but in the last 5 years its grown rampantly like wildfire. The ghetto state of mind comes in all colors and nationalities. You can identify it by how someone carries themselves and by their words and actions and how they treat others.   Let us explore this unaesthetic mind set.  This mind set is at one of the lowest mindsets. In this mindset the person always has to be right, always gets their way. Putting their needs first is always on their agenda. Some examples are screaming and honking at an elderly to cross the street as opposed to a more noble mindset of going out of your way to help an elderly person cross the street.

      Are Anti-hate signs sending hate messages?             I have a job that I deliver packages to people's homes. In the past I have seen yard signs that say, "Hate has no home here". Recently I saw a yard sign with a similar message and instead of conveying love to me I felt attacked by hate from the sign. I wanted to figure out why I felt hate coming from this sign.         This sign got me thinking and also the sign that says, Hate has no home here".  So in that home that has the sign, no one in there is hating on Trump?

Fruit   is used in a sentence like, " I am not seeing any fruit in you."  Fruit is from the Fruits of the Spirit. In   Galatians 5:22-23 Paul lists nine specific behaviors – love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control – that are the result of the wor
