When all is said and done and we stand before the master what will matter is not the opinion of any man,not the applause from men ,not your reputation in society or any man's perception of who you are. What will count is the quality of your personality towards God. Not the praises of men not the approval of man what will profit a man to gain the whole world and yet lose his soul. Live your life to please him let heaven be your focus refuse to be distracted.

"It brought up feelings of a past that our generation has never seen, which I think is why it was so shocking for us to see," said Micah Oliver, president of the Black Student Union, according to local ABC affiliate Channel 27 News
More than 100 students turned out for Wednesday night's Black Student Union meeting at the State University of New York at Buffalo, where emotions were inflated when they discussed the signs.
"There was fear expressed, anger, disappointment all of that," Oliver said.
Then, amid the discussion, Ashley Powell, a black fine arts graduate student, stood up and acknowledged that she was the one who had posted the signs, according to The Buffalo News, which reported:.
The Spectrum noted that many students at the meeting were outraged and walked out. Other students, the newspaper said, denounced the signs on social media as "racist" and "an act of terrorism."Student art project or not, students say Powell crossed the line on this one.
The Spectrum added that "the project was for a 400-level art class titled 'Instillation: Urban Space.' Powell said the goal of the signs and project was to see what people's reactions would be to them." The signs were installed at water fountains and bathrooms in Clemens Hall.
"I think a lot of people like artsy extreme stuff and use that sometimes as an excuse to get away with anything," Mikhal Gonzalez, a UB freshman, told ABC-27. "I don't think that's right."Powell offered an apology of sorts.
"I apologize for the extreme trauma, fear, and actual hurt and pain these signs brought about," she said.
"I apologize if you were hurt, but I do not apologize for what I did. Once again, this is my art practice. My work directly involves black trauma and non-white suffering. I do not believe that there can be social healing without first coming to terms with and expressing our own pain, rage, and trauma."
