We live in a world where the unimaginable can occur at any moment, without warning. These incidents serve as a reminder to always remain vigilant.

Derrick Johnson, who now resides in Dallas, once lived in the same neighborhood as the Powell Community Center in District 3, and he's putting his money where his mouth is.

Teaching is arguably the most important profession in the world, as teachers are responsible for educating others to excel and often earn more than they do. Unfortunately, many teachers may not fully grasp the importance of their role, perhaps due to societal undervaluation. However, there are exceptions—teachers in cities like New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles demand better wages, recognizing their worth. The teacher shortage, particularly in math and science, can be attributed to the fact that educators with degrees in...

King Solomon's Final Advice: The earth, sun, moon, and stars continue to be. They are for the benefit of all mankind, all life on earth and sea, God has made it so. One generation passes away, another generation comes, but Jesus abides forever. All rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full. The eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ears filled with hearing. There is nothing new under the sun, all we do is vanity (empty) and vexation of Spirit, except what's done in Jesus’s name in Love. I have come; to great estate, and have...
There are some places in society where respect is not only expected, but demanded when one is present. There is the courtroom, the schoolroom, a house of worship and the place where we all will one day go...the cemetery. Those places are ingrained in our psyche to maintain a modem of decorum because that's the way a society conducts itself where its members congregate. We learn that when we are young and it is something that is passed down through the generations. So, what happened when Donald Trump and his entourage of campaign workers and...

In our imperfect world, it may seem that the wicked prosper, and the devil seeks to sow jealousy and bitterness within us. His aim is to make us feel overlooked, unblessed, and rejected by God, driving a wedge between us and our Heavenly Father. However, we must refuse to fall prey to his deception. We should all take the time to recognize God's presence in every moment and the countless undeserved blessings He has graciously given us. Hold fast to faith and reject the devil's...
In this season, I strongly believe God is resetting some things in our lives. A lot is changing and has changed. We must be in His Will now more than ever. One of the definitions of reset, is to set again or differently. Sometimes, like a gem, God resets us, because we reach certain milestones (like an anniversary). God is saying, "You've walked with Me too long and too strong for me not to bless & increase you. It's our anniversary!" Sometimes, the reset is because it's time to renew our vows...
