Healing Requested!

Healing Requested


Last year, Memphis had one of the highest murder rates in the country.  Never thought the men in blue would be contributing to the rate.  The world is once again grappling with the pain of seeing those who are sworn to protect and serve lie and kill.


A man should not die from a routine traffic stop. This has happened to often, even here in Falcon Heights.  The one common theme with the killings, it is an African-American whose life is lost.


The Bible talks about violent ways of the world in Hosea 4:1-2, There is no faithfulness, no love, no acknowledgment of God in the land. There is only cursing, lying and murder, stealing and adultery; they break all bounds, and bloodshed follows bloodshed.


My words here are short and simple. Let us all pray that our training and management will change so African-American lives matter. Also, pray for the family of Tyre Nichols. Only HE can bring healing to Memphis and the family.  Psalm 34:18, The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.


Song of the Week

Agnus Dei, Latin—Lamb of God, 1990, Michael W. Smith.  

This is a must worship for all of deep praisers.  The lyrics are simple and in the video. Take a moment to download it to your phone.  Start your day with it the next 14 days and watch constance change.  I will bring the beats next week.  I promise.

Here is Your Mother

It is a Good Son-Day Indeed Mother's Day Menagerie Here is Your Mother I am blessed in so many ways to be surrounded so many wonderful women who have brought into the world exceptional human beings.  Thank God every day for the mothers who have impacted my life.  I know when I need them they will be there for me and they know I will reciprocate. As I continue the epic saga of post-resurrection Christ I would be remissed if I did not include presence at the cross and the acession of Christ.  Typical mother, always there for an extraordinary and exceptional anointed Savior she birth into this world. Take care of the women who are your biological, step, assumed, spiritual, in-law, in-lieu of physical mother. Christ, Mary his mother, Christ's disciple, and Christ's charge to His disciple. John 19:25-27 25 Standing near the cross were Jesus’ mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary (the wife of Clopas), and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus saw His mother standing there beside the di...

 Good Son-Day - The Start of  Something New Ice Creameisters! Live Roses The day after Christmas, I got a call from a former co-worker I had connected with for about a year or so. I started the conversation by asking about her grandchild and two daughters. I proceeded to ask her how her husband was doing and got an unexpected quick but poignant answer: "Oh, he's doing fine; we're getting a divorce."  Wait, what! This couple was married for 30-plus years.  The husband is retired. Nice home in the burbs,  Both children are college grads.  Empty nesters. The American Dream. What happened? I did not pry.  The only thing she offered was, "One day, I was sitting at the dining room table.  He sat directly across from me.  I looked at him.  I said to myself I can't do this anymore. I knew then I needed to file for a divorce."   The  news sent me for a spin.  At first, I thought he must have cheated, or he spent too much time at hi...

Only The Powerful

Take a Son-Day Drive on This Lovely Day Summer Vibes Laughter is Good for the Heart How Our Summer is Going Only The Powerful  The entire world classifies people into hierarchies based job, residence, earnings, assets, weight, athleticism, height, and color to name an obvious few.  If you do not have the right previous descriptors you can be deemed by society as less desirable, unworthy, or a write off. Recently, I sat in on a conversation with some employees outside one of our buildings.  The conversation turned to a Minneapolis suburb called "Blaine".  They talked about the vivid dichotomy between the impoverished trailer parks and the lavish homes in the new developments.  I then cringed when I heard them refer to the people residing in the trailer homes as "White Trailer Trash" and this was uttered by a person of the same color. I spoke up and said I was uncomfortable with the conversation and that ended it. Our Lord did not create a physical being...
