Son-shine on Your Shoulders

  Good Son-Day!!!! Winter Wonderland Date Jo's Bro White Noise The fascination we have with the Creator of our universe compels us to continually learn more about Him. The most unappreciated grandeur of the Most High is His ability to be omnipresent (i.e., to be everywhere and at all times). You may be thinking that in any setting He is a fly on the wall, simply observing all that transpires and not having any impact or influence. That is not the case. Even when you are doing nothing, like sleeping, God is . . . God protects you from the natural and supernatural attacks Psalm 3:5 When I sleep and wake up refreshed because sustain me, protect me. God teaches you Psalm 16:7 I praise you, Lord, for being my guide. Even in the darkest night, your teachings fill my mind. God gives you peace of mind Proverbs 3:24-26 You can go to bed without fear; you will lie down and sleep soundly.  You need not be afraid of sudden disaster or the destruction that comes upon the wicked, for th...

 Good Son-Day!!!! A Baby Boomer Virtually Surviving in the 21st Century Angel with an Afro Rejection, spurned, dismissal,...etc., is a feeling that is quite painful and can cause lifelong emotional complications.  The experience of losing support, love, and connection of someone or a group of people is important to us.  It is characterized by grief, which is the process and range of emotions we go through when we experience a loss.

Before I provide some scriptural text I want to acknowledge that rejection feelings are real and they cut to the cor...

Good Son-Day on a Monday!!! Melodies of MLK Jr. Day Storm Chaser Over the weekend, I had two opportunities to celebrate the MLK Jr holiday.  It started on Sunday.  At halftime of the, currently in first place, Timberwolves game, I was able to capture footage of the “Sounds of Blackness”.  Today, I joined nearly 3,000 people at the 34th Annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Breakfast at the Minneapolis Convention Center.  The speakers and entertainers at both events were spectacular. I find it very satisfying that our country has a holiday that honors a reverend.  He is most noted for non-violent approach to gaining equity and peace in our still divided country.   Dr. Martin would go places storming with violence and hate.  Each one of his demonstrations easily put his and his followers' lives on the line for the sake of peace.  I would say he did so fearlessly, but let’s be real, we have all seen the footage of the intense hate that included the fire hos...
