  3. Please pray this now, pray the words as you read them if you cannot look and remember 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
               
                   "Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name,
           thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
           Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses,
                     as we forgive those who trespass against us.
               And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
                  For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory,
                                         forever and ever. Amen."

    If you can't remember the words to any prayer, pray them as you read them if you cannot look and remember them 🙏 please consider beginnning daily prayer, it is a good habit that will help you if you do it and continue to do it. Don't just read from the Book or merely say you are a member of a religion! Actually practice daily prayer, the most fundamental part of religion (or one of the most fundamental parts). What would any Holy Book be without regular prayer? It will actually help you!

  4. Ahh damn, this sucks to hear about. I always liked Carl Weathers, especially in his recent role as Greef Karga in The Mandalorian. He seemed healthy too, smh. What a major loss for his family, and for the entertainment world as well. R.I.P. 😔

  5. My grandfather was a very successful amateur boxer, on his way to be a professional, but sadly was the victim of a hit-and-run which shattered his knee. He love this sport of boxing. He came to our house with my grandmother, and it was hot, and there was not much going on, and my parents had seen Rocky the night before and they said to him you should go see Rocky with Paul Paul he’ll go with youand he said I’ll go cause I always went to the movies with him. I was I think 10 years old. Well, my grandfather was on the edge of the seat, especially at the end of the movie and on the way out of the theater he must’ve showed me about 1000 ways to take a punch do a punch dodger punch. I came home with a bloody nose. The next day I had a blackeye, I have bruises on my shoulders on my forehead. He was amazing he wasn’t hurting me. He was just trying to show me how to fight and he didn’t know I wasn’t paying attention anyway, it was hilarious. Oh, not one of my teeth out which was already loose, but it came out a week later, because he made it loose and well it had to go. Yes, so he practically broke my nose. Knocked out tooth gave me a black guy and gave me lumps on my forehead and about six bruises And I love them for it. I love him for it he loved that movie and every time he thought of that movie which was often he always thought of the first time he saw with me he’s long gone he was born in 1911 he died 1989. I think it was anyway what a great guy, strong man simple man, hard-working man honest as the day was long and he loved his family and he loved Jesus and he always tell me Polly you’re the best out of the bunch and if you tell anybody that I’ll deny it he is what you got a natural love for God, and he says do something with it so I became a street preacher because of him anyway rest in peace my grandfather loves you. He’s probably happy as can be to see you up there but he’d rather you be here with your family whatever’s best he always says like God‘s will be done, and he meant itall right you don’t know when your time is gonna come so you better be ready and I mean you better have Jesus on your son much love to you all rest in peace, Carl Apollo I pray for your family in the name of Jesus sincerely preacher, Paul

  6. And I have fully respect for this guy one of the greatest actors that I have seen doesn’t make a difference will call you are he was a great man. He didn’t laugh some people. He tried to help some poor people if every black dude that didn’t have money it would be no poor Black people in this country. I’m sorry Black people is the most ignorant race in this country. They don’t get to jams about to Dan’s about the race and I know damn well you don’t care about the people even a rich ones do you like looking down at the peopl Hypocrite race don’t give two shits about each other and they get on television ally, especially Oprah. She know damn well she don’t care about Black people white people made her who she is.

  7. I'm not a boxing fan and I've only seen bits of the Rocky movies but he was great in the original Predator movie when I first saw it on VHS cassette as a teenager. So sorry to hear about Carl's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.🙏
