School Shootings

Having been born into an African Methodist Episcopal family and later converted to Islam, I have found commonalities in both belief systems. People of faith can view the Almighty’s protections much like a huge Revival Tent. It has a large center pole and shorter poles on each of its four…

Why I think We Need To Watch “A Father who was an officer being held back while others waited over an hour. Can you imagine the burden he carries? No we cannot. But we must bear witness. This is why we have to watch.” I recently watched The CNN: The…

A now-contentious legal issue. — If you’re generally unaware, there was a shooting in Nashville earlier this year that killed six people. The shooter, Audrey Hale, also died. If you’re one of those people who classifies school shootings according to some specific keyword, this one would be “Nashville” or “school” or “transgender,” as that’s apparently…

“See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father.” — Matt 18:10 Why do I care? Care about what? You ask. I answer, Uvalde. Who am I talking to…
