Do Your Research, First

In the event that your on the verge of publishing a book, here's a company that you should NEVER do business with  and it's called TATE PUBLISHING and ENTERPRISES, LLC, which is located at https://www.tatepublishing.com/ ... Now, the department of Consumers Affairs online has 46 grievances against TATE, based upon them not adhering to what their contracts stipulates, ignoring emails and phone calls made by their clients, being irresponsible, a constant flow of delayed shipment and preposterous excuses made by their representatives who are extremely mean. However, when it comes to TATE's representatives,  noticing that their clients are seeking outside alleviation from their scamming tactics, a rep calls the client's home in an uneducated, disrespectful and unprofessional manner. Why I'm I saying this; because it occurred to me yesterday? Apparently, it's to imitate the person who's broadcasting the fraud; because what thief wants to get caught stealing?
 
It's a disgrace how this publishing company states that it's Christian based and they operate in the totally opposite. For example, if you go to their official website https://www.tatepublishing.com/, all you see are pictures of women and men of God, who supposedly published their books there. Using the imagines of well known Ministries of the Body of Christ in order to lure upcoming authors to company is their specialty.  It seems as if the founder and employees of TATE Publishing Company overlooked this bible verse ...  
 
2 Timothy 3:13 (ESV) - While evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.
 
Perhaps, your wondering why I'm sharing this with all of you. Well, here are the three reasons that are  triggering me:
  1. Our oldest son Carlos Jr. has published a book at TATE and every time he makes an order, it NEVER arrives on time or complete, the quality of the paste they use on the book is terrible, the rep. that was assigned to Carlos Jr. is named Mr. Cody Crawford and he's the most: disrespectful, barbaric and definitely lacking in the public relation department.
  2. First Amendment ~ Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
  3. Article 19 ~ Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.

Closing Argument


Before I bring this detailed post to an end, I'd like to remind you how not to be fooled by wolfs dressed in sheep's clothing. Instead, affiliate yourself with a company that says what they mean and means what they say or in other words this  ...

Matthew 5:37 (NLV) - Let your yes be YES. Let your no be NO. Anything more than this comes from the devil.

As a wife, mother and Pastor of the Gospel of Jesus Christ it's my duty to remind all of you this ...

1 Peter 5:8 (NLT) -  Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.

It's Happens, Repeatedly


Proverbs 25:17 (NLT) - Don’t visit your neighbors too often, or you will wear out your welcome.

Don't misinterpret what the bible is saying, it's just that to much of the same thing becomes a little humdrum (that's our opinion). Besides, your nearby resident might have errands to run, a spouse, children or home to tend to and perhaps they don't want to offend that person who visits their home, as if their on a merry-go-round ...

Possibly, those constant visits are due to loneliness, desiring assistance in seeking a job, homework and/or their new to the neighborhood. Whatever the reason, the bible doesn't lie and the above verse is trying to help you, so that your host (willingly or not) doesn't display a gesture that leaves a painful mark in your heart ...
 
Here's a thought, if that person doesn't pop in as much, then they'll honestly be missed and invited, by the host with a sincere heart and more often  ... ‪#Words2Ponder‬,

What A Crime

On this cold Sunday morning, we're grateful that we have heat. As all of you know, the weather is rapidly changing from cool to extremely chilly. Yes, it's time for lots of hot cocoa, layers of clothing and plenty of rest is also reason to be thankful for. However, lets not forget that a home without heat affects the entire family. That's why were grateful for the temperature; nonetheless, we still pray to the Lord motivate those landlords to turn on the heat in lots of their buildings ...
 
Now, in our home, the news is watched everyday and it's a pity how so many families are already outside of their buildings with their children and elderly neighbors protecting about not having heat or hot water for more than a week; but their rent is PAID on time and complete. And to that we say, "Shame Shame" on those heartless landlords; nonetheless, we're going to stand behind this bible verse ...
 
Philippians 2:4 (HCSB) - Everyone should look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.
 
Have a Blessed Sunday Everyone ...

It's Appalling

As all of know, Veterans Day was on Tuesday, November 11. The day where those brave men and women (alive or deceased) should be treated with the utmost respect. For instance, why is it that after so many veterans risk their life's, serving their country and when they return home, sometimes they end up suffering from PTSD (Posttraumatic Stress Disorder) and as a result, if their spouse isn't well educated on the causes and effects of all the above, the couple gets a divorce ...
 
Now, let's not forget about the financial stress those soldiers experience when it comes to keeping a roof over their families heads, food on the table and medical benefits are an insult to them. It breaks my heart when I see Veteran sleeping in the streets, going to soup kitchens; because their seeking a  warm meal, panhandling for a cup of coffee and some have a tendency of battling with psychological issues (Lord have mercy) ...
 
While my husband & I were watching the news and surfing the internet, we noticed that the media didn't celebrate Veteran's Day to the  level that those soldiers and their families deserved (It's Appalling). That's why we're not going follow the trend; but instead, we're going to publicity thank those dedicated soldiers for what they've done or are doing for our country; because the bible says this ...
 
Romans 13:7 (NLT) - Give to everyone what you owe them: Pay your taxes and government fees to those who collect them, and give respect and honor to those who are in authority.
 
Closing Statement:
 
God bless every woman and man, who enrolled in the: Army, US Air Force, Navy, Marines and US Cost Guards for your dedication, locality and patriotism. Your an example, role mode and blessing from God ...
