Fix My Choir! (That's the name of this show!!!)

Fix My Choir is an amazing new show on Oxygen Network!  If you have not had an opportunity to check it out, then make sure you tune in ASAP!  When the promotion for this show began I was just excited to see Michelle Williams and Deitrick Haddon in what I thought was going to be some type of choir competition show.  Fix My Choir is much more than that.  Michelle and Deitrick have set out to travel the nation

searching for Choirs that need help getting back to where they once were.  But this is not only about the choirs vocal abilities as it is about the choirs abilities to work together as a whole.

So far we have been introduced to some amazing choirs and on last night's episode we got to know Victor Bell and Halel.  Victor Bell is the leader of the Gospel music group Victor Bell and Halel.  In 2009 the group was set to do a live recorded concert.  Tickets were sold and hopes were high, but the devastation of a terrible California storm would put a hold on the show, and a dark cloud over the group.

  Victor shut down after the storm ended their recording session.  He walked away from his group and left them feeling alone and embarrassed.  People were upset that they bought tickets to the show, and the members of the choir were left to defend themselves without a leader, which caused a lot of tension.  After a long break Victor decided to revive the choir and even recruited some new members.  This seemed like a marvelous idea except for the fact that he wasn't finished solving what was already wrong with the original choir and its members.


Michelle and Deitrick have stepped in and with the help from the spirit of God, were able to get these choir members to open up and reveal their issues with the past, the present, and the future.  They did some wonderful group exercises that helped the new and seasoned members set aside their differences and come together.  Deitrick and Michelle only have five days to work with these choirs, and although Rome wasn't built in a day, God created this world in 6 days and so I'm sure he would bless his children to be able to work through minor situations in a short time.


The concert was a hit, and everyone seemed like they were pleased, especially the skeptical audience members who felt like they were left hanging the first time around.  Fix My Choir has absolutely been a blessing to watch.  Oxygen has hit a homerun with this one!  Be sure to get your dose of Fix My Choir every Wednesday night!  You will be blessed!   Thanks for reading :)

Preachers of L.A. (Family First)

I have grown to enjoy this show.  I was hesitant at first because I was't sure of the shows angle.  Were they exploiting the church?  Were they just trying to flash their money???  I even asked if they were really ordained!!!  One thing I did not consider in the beginning was that they were people just like you and I.  Yes guys preachers are people too! lol

Since the show first aired last year I have noticed a lot of viewers have had some of the same feelings I had, and via social media I have also noticed a lot of changes in thoughts and opinions.  I feel like these preachers came to television for a reason.  They want to spread the news about God and they want to show their lives in the process.  Anyone watching can see that these men and their families are just like everyone else in a sense.  We all have issues and we all want to overcome things in life.  I think this show portrays these families in a good light.

People need to understand that just because someone preaches the word of God, that doesn't mean they don't have to provide for their families.  Success should be for anyone who reaches for it.  If God allows a man or woman to have the finer things then why shouldn't that be okay??  A preacher has a very important job.  In my opinion one of the most important, and as long as they are doing their duties in a respectable manner, how they build their career around that should be their business.  All preachers are not poor and all preachers are not rich so somewhere in between all of that we as a people need to worry about our own salvation.  A lot of us lack in that we are so pressed about what one person has going on we can't even come out of our own mess.

Last night's episode was one of the most inspirational in the history of the show!!  To see Bishop Gibson and his wife be so spiritually moved to help out their family members was a blessing in its self.  A lot of people
will say that their decision shouldn't have been so hard or that they should have just given the house to their niece in the first place.  To those people I say this.  "It is not always as easy as it seems (this thing called life).  We all lose focus and fall short and sometimes we have to come out of things in our time.  Bishop Gibson's sister Shaun made her choices and so this caused her daughter to have to go through things.  God places people in our lives for reasons and at times that are not always to be explained.  Bishop Gibson and First Lady Lavette did a wonderful thing, and the fact that they were able to is even more wonderful, but it was in God's time.  It's easy to say that they could have been gave Erica and her boys the home to stay in, but who is to say Erica was always ready for that responsibility.  Her time is clearly now, and she was ever so grateful and appreciative.

Pastor Wayne and his wife Myesha Chaney were also dealing with some serious family issues this episode.  Pastor Wayne's mother came to him to tell him that she had recently had a disagreement with her other son Caleb.  Caleb who is younger than Wayne seems to be struggling with some personal issues regarding the love and treatment he receives from his mother.  Now I won't go to deep because I only know what I see on tv, but it does seem like there may be some underlying issues, and that it may take some time to get through them.  Pastor Wayne wants to get to the bottom of things because he doesn't want the negativity to continue between his family members.  It is sad to see that he gets pulled into the drama because he is successful, but that is nothing but the devil trying to mess up a good thing!!                                                                      
WONT THE DEVIL BRING SOME MESS TO YOU?!?!?!  Any way... First Lady Myesha threw an amazing surprise birthday party for her husband, and even with the little drama of Caleb showing up uninvited the party was still a success.                                                                                            
                                                @MyeshaChaney

It was all the Twitter last night when people saw that Pastor Wayne asked his brother to leave the party because he didn't want his mother to feel uncomfortable.  Fans of the show were really upset that he wanted his brother to leave.  I, along with many others think that was the right decision.  He made a decision based off of a recent blow up.  If he didn't ask his brother to leave that would just leave room for a possible confrontation, and no one knows but them how that could have turned out!                                    

All in all last nights episode was moving and I felt blessed watching!  I think I will do more post about the show in the future!! What do you guys think??  Well my good people I will be bringing the happenings soon enough, but BE SURE to remember if u didn't get it anywhere else u know......
