A Mother’s Day Tribute

Who is She? Who is She? That stood in the halls of the Gods Whose voice rang out with courage  To defend the Plan and the right  To choose progression over oppression Who is She? Who was God’s culminating creation  Remembered eternal truths  And partook of the fruit So that we might be Who is She? That spoke to an angel Became a chosen vessel And delivered Him in birth So that He could deliver us all  Who is She? Who was a sinner But recognized the Savior And offered her tears and hair To prepare Him for the cross Who is She? Who discovered the empty tomb Heard the angels proclaim His triumph Refused to leave without Him And was the first to see Him  Who is She? Who was the first transcriber  Gently peeled the tar and feathers Lost so many children  And gave her husband to Carthage  Who is She? Who loves despite betrayals Forgives and heals wounds Defends the v...

The Women in My Life

Last year I shared this truth spoken by Gordon B.

Who's Really to Blame?

It's been over a week now since the protest-turned-riot at the Capitol Building in Washington DC. I have spent the last week trying to digest what occurred. I've read and watched the coverage and opinions of several media outlets. I've read the many opinions of social media. I've tried to look at what happened from as many angles and sides as I could to better understand what happened, how it happened, and how we came to this point as a country.  The inauguration of the 46th President of the United States will occur this coming Wednesday. This is not just a special event for US Citizens. It is a special and sacred event for the world, because the United States is the symbol of freedom, democracy, and peaceful transition of power. Many of my ancestors helped to settle and build this great country. My blood is as American as any person of Western European descent could possibly be. I am proud of that. I thank God often that I was blessed to be born and raised in this b...
