A lot is going on in the world in which we live. The Coronavirus has now traveled around the globe, disrupting travel plans and canceling annual events. More importantly, the virus is killing thousands of people with a fury that is causing people to panic in ways I have never before seen. Before the Coronavirus, it was hard for me to conceive something like this happening. Some movies and books tell the story of catastrophic disasters happening. The films and books paint the picture of how one accident or intentional act by a vengeful person...

Job 38:22-23 Copyright 2012 inspired by God Since our tears have been revealed, as the water that is spilled, from raining and leaking eyes When our soul has been broken, and no words can be spoken, that will give peace to a soul that’s tired. I wonder how God would express, the pain that’s in His chest, when He looks down on this earth That He loved to the extent, that His only son was sent, to pay a price that no man is worth. Whenever the Lord cries, the clouds become His eyes, and the rai...
“I don’t take responsibility at all” are words said by President Trump that will be quoted and written by historians and students of history until the cows come home. Someone will need to remind the nation the last(first?) time a president has said that he “doesn’t take” responsibility for his actions during a national crisis that will only get worse. The coronavirus or COVID-19 as it is medically known has turned the lives of billions of people the world over upside down, as the world heads into an unknown/uncertain future. Few things can...
God has given man stern warnings against insensitive and corrupt rulers that hate good and love evil. The political leaders and religious leaders are rebellious against God 's commands. God is bringing judgement on the land, and the world. Because of sorcerers, sexual immorality, adultery, lying, etc. Those who defrauded workers of their wages, oppress the poor, widowed, the fatherless and homeless. They who do such things do not fear God. God isn't mocked, those who does these things will get what they deserve. (Galatians 6: ) What a man sows...

In this year of our Lord, 2020, I journeyed on this thought that caught my attention and has compelled me to mention. We need a pattern of strong, healthy Black marriages. We stitch, we make, we build, and we paint. We take pride in what we make and to go as far as we can to use the finest materials money can buy. We get that "WOW" factor when people see what we create. A farmer will use pesticides to kill off bugs to protect his crops. A nation will go to war to protect its borders. The reason...
