Just Another Day Of The Week

Did ya’ll know that there have been a number of events known as "Black Fridays" in history? Usually, these events are devastating. Some historians propose that the origin of the "Black Friday" was the simultaneous arrest of hundreds of Knights Templar’s on October 13, 1307 (Friday), to be later tortured into "admitting" heresy. Today, the concept of Friday the 13th has been extended through the 'black Friday' concept to incorporate anything really bad that happens on a Friday. In history there have been a number of events that happened on a Friday and are known as Black Friday. Now, I hate to dwell on dark pasts, but I figure, if you believe in the bible, then you should already know that it’s only gonna get darker from here. These are just a few incidents that’s happened on a Friday the 13th and has been marked in time as “Black Friday’s”.

And finally…
"Black Friday", July 13th, 1984 on a full moon. The day Mother gave birthday to me before doctors pronounced me dead. But due to her faith, the Lord was in control… obviously…

Me personally have never had anything bad happen to me on this day. Could it be that I am the Lords and know that he wouldn't allow jack to happen to me? I think, that if you acknowledge this day as "Black Friday", hence believing that something bad is gonna happen on this day, then it just might. The devil thrives off fear, he lurks any place where he smells it. Fear is almost like opening the door to the devil. Since that faithful day, whoever that idiot was to mark this day as a day of bad luck, made this day famous and in so doing, many people have been victoms this day. It's clearly a day where peoples faith gets weakened... what a stupid day... It's all in your head... hahahaha
