A day in the life of a young Warrior…

VOTE!
Today I voted (early) – I voted because… … elections have consequences (don’t we know it). …not voting is giving up (Never!). …it’s our money at stake (show me the money). …it’s an opportunity for change (if it ain’t broke don’t fix it – however, …). …we depend on each other to cast our votesContinue reading “VOTE!”

Politics are ripe with ruin – better to focus on what scripture instructs us about……the poor, homeless, destitute, and hungry. …the crippled, lame, afflicted, and the blind. …the oppressed, innocent, and abused. …strangers and the fatherless. …the needy and naked. …the falsely accused. …theContinue reading “Refocus”
