The Block Bham: The Biggest Block Party Around

I had been hearing the term "the block" for a while, but I never knew what it was. Then one day I received a message on Facebook:

"Hey:) I go to this place called The Block on Tuesday nights and what it is, is we have a bunch of people that throw this big block party every week from about 7-10. There's live dj's, music, entertainment and it's all free. Pretty much like a party you would prob go to just without the alcohol ha anyways I just wanted to invite you to come check it out one Tuesday when you don't have any plans!:)"

So, I decided to check it out, and I am so thankful I did! From the second you pull into the parking lot there are people greeting you left and right! Everyone is so kind and genuine and really know how to make you feel at home. I never imagined meeting so many awesome people in such little time.

Not only are there awesome people, but there's awesome music!! The energy and excitement built up in the place are astonishing. Everyone is ecstatic to be there and seem to have the time of their lives.

The best part of the block is the worship. It is so amazing to see all these people coming together to give praise to the Lord. These people are so on fire for Jesus and you can see that within the first 30 seconds of meeting them.

How cool is it that we have a place that we can gather weekly and experience God with a group of people who bring out the best in each other and want to help you become closer to God? I think that's flippin' awesome!!!

I am so glad I decided to go to the Block and met some cool new friends, and I can not wait to see what the Lord does through this event to shape and mold me for my future. I don't know what the future holds, but I know who holds my future.

I know the people at The Block want to meet YOU! Come check out the Block in Pinson, AL every Tuesday at 7 p.m.!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
