No where in the Bible does it say that have to take a vow of poverty.   I volunteer at my for my church, but I'm not on call 24/7.  My pastor is.  I don't get calls in the middle of the night or early in the morning from people in need.  Ministers do more than just preach on Sunday.  Money I tithe to my church goes toward ministries to help people in need, maintaining the church and yes, paying my pastor's salary.  I would argue that more pastors are educated than not. &lt;br&gt;A pastor is a professional just like a doctor, social worker or teacher.  The ones I know are highly trained for what they do.  And many, such as my pastor, have second careers.  Paul and Jesus didn't own homes.  They also didn't have families to take care of and they didn't have health insurance or a dependable car to get them to their ministries.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Kinsmankid</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 27 Mar 2015 11:14:34 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Damita Tells All About Divorcing Deitrick Haddon | Elev8</title><link>http://elev8.com/1307118/damita-haddon-tells-her-side-of-deitrick-divorce-and-dominique-responds-honorably/#comment-1909382376</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Pimps in the pulpit, false prophets, and some will like it, read revelations, and they don't even know it so how would you!!!*&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">deborah</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 16 Mar 2015 01:25:51 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Damita Tells All About Divorcing Deitrick Haddon | Elev8</title><link>http://elev8.com/1307118/damita-haddon-tells-her-side-of-deitrick-divorce-and-dominique-responds-honorably/#comment-1909379287</link><description>&lt;p&gt;It her testimony let her tell it, wow,!!!!&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">deborah</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 16 Mar 2015 01:20:50 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Evaluation Of Credit Union | Elev8</title><link>http://elev8.com/1297041/the-pros-and-cons-of-using-a-credit-union/#comment-1904234235</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Credit unions beat commercial banks hands down.

My father was a better cooked than my mother, but my mother usually prepared meals for us. &lt;br&gt;To cut a long story short, I learned how to cook at early age. By the age of 18, I could cook without doubting my ability to make good meals.   When I got married, I didn't really cook meals. I told him that I only knew how to boil eggs, lol.  My husband and I were dining out frequently. Eventually, I got fed up with our rituals. As a result, I decided and committed to make meals for us.   I have been preparing meals at home regularly for a few years. I discovered that I enjoy cooking for everyone. I mean, I truly love taking care of my husband and daughter. We do still eat out on our special occasions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My husband deserves me. He has been a good provider, husband, lover, dad to our daughter, etc. Yes, he can be an ahole or a jerk, but that  doesn't bother me at all. I don't expect him to be a perfect man.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In addition, he has tried to cook for me, too. LOL..Ugh, he is not so good at it. I told him to stick to things he is good at.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Benice</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 05 Feb 2015 12:24:58 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Pastor Rudy Rasmus Shares Donations | Elev8</title><link>http://elev8.com/1306389/beyonce-donates-7-million-to-her-home-church-and-pastor/#comment-1835504838</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Uuuuuhh....(scratches head in disbelief)...so u mean to tell me (in my judge Joe brown voice) that half clothed, provocative dancing, lyrics that are sewage filled singing and whatever else comes to your mind Beyonce actually goes to church???

Perfect proportions. My husband (not a big cookie fan) asks for them just about every day, so I guess they're a going to be a fixture in my house. I must add that my kids didn't like the raisins in them (finicky), solved that by adding miniature chocolate chips to half the dough. 2Die4. &lt;a href="http://tinyurl.com/mdzs5q6" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://tinyurl.com/mdzs5q6"&gt;http://tinyurl.com/mdzs5q6&lt;/a&gt; this is mine recipe.

Other Barbies look happy and carefree.  They are all very beautiful but the expression does not reflect a happy person.  A lot of people say "but she looks so fierce!" and I agree, and while for an adult this attitude is a perfectly valid expression of confidence, children see beautiful women and beautiful dolls and want to emulate them.  Being "fierce" and angry and pouty is not what children should be focused on, they should focus on being happy.  I'm not saying I would want my daughter to have dolls with completely blank, vapid, doe eyed expressions, just happy ones.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Christina</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 15 Jan 2015 02:55:43 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Why Men Love Women Who Cook</title><link>http://elev8.com/elev8-original/stuartmcdonald/the-reason-men-love-women-who-cook/#comment-1767139793</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Not only on a daily basis......but 3 meals on a daily basis!&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">bluelagoons</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 01 Jan 2015 08:52:47 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: VIRTUE ‘YOU ARE’ [NEW MUSIC] | Elev8</title><link>http://elev8.com/1323250/virtue-you-are-new-music/#comment-1746984491</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Love this Song!!

ANY BLACK person who DOES not have a problem especially in the wake of all that is going on round the world to us does not KNOW their history And our TRUE history is not taught in school it is whitewashed and further adds to the low self esteem for our children and even quite a few adults.
