For how long will you allow your rights to be disregarded?
Araminta – I want to be like you.
“When I found I had crossed that line, I looked at my hands to see if I was the same person. There was such a glory over everything; the sun came like gold through the trees, and over the fields, and I felt like I was in Heaven.” - Harriet Tubman One of my favorite …
Maybe, Just Maybe
I marvel as he continues to draw me even still, and it causes the flickers of hope to ignite within me that maybe,
My Pastor Said, “Timing”.
No matter how Broken You Are, No matter how low you feel, No matter how blind you are, I promise The God of Heaven sees you. On the way home I was thinking about when the disciples asked Jesus why a certain man was blind. It was on my mind because of a conversation I …

The Sting of an Insect, Blind With Rage
I have the right to dress in a white sheet and preach white supremacy, but I don't. I have the right to create art that desecrates the image of Christ and his disciples, but I don't. I have the right to do a lot of things in this country - and I will defend the …
