So Much Has Happened…!

I’m not quite sure how to resume a blog that has been dormant for better than two years! So much has happened over time and I guess, maybe it’s best to approach what’s been going on with me, our community (i.e. black folks!), the Church, our City and country, post by post and hope, alongContinue reading “So Much Has Happened…!”

Martin Luther King and Decency vs Equality

For a long time, I have been getting a little irritated at hearing the proviso, ‘We’ve come a long way, but we still have a long way to go…’ when it comes to race relations in this country. I get it. And, almost without reflection, on its face, it is a true statement. Any celebrationContinue reading “Martin Luther King and Decency vs Equality”

Madison Cawthorn, aContinue reading “What’s Good for the Goose is a ‘Shibboleth’”

Black vs. Blue = Us vs. Them?

These are all good friends of mine. They are earnest clergymen, with a heart to do what’s right. These are South Dallas pastors who came together to call a press conference. The focus of the presser was for better, more extensive training for police officers, decry the violent crime – the skyrocketing murder rate –Continue reading “Black vs. Blue = Us vs. Them?”

Trust but Verify…and Take the Vaccine

Let me make sure that I start this post of right: I believe the highly anticipated coronavirus vaccine, should be welcomed, should be available to EVERY American and should be taken by EVERY American. For the first time in human history, a vaccine has been developed to stop a pandemic that has set this nationContinue reading “Trust but Verify…and Take the Vaccine”
