    A great people learn to balance foolish pride and destructive shame, and learn to be themselves rather than selecting the worst habits of the majority. Cling to what has supported the African-American for years.

    Those who have planned our observance of Black History Month this year selected the theme, "New Currents, Ancient Rivers". Many of you will recognize that the words, "Ancient Rivers" are drawn from a well-known poem by Langston Hughes. The phrase "New Currents, Ancient Rivers" suggests to me that ...read more

    That's A Song To Sing

    Contributed by Joe W. Theus on Dec 30, 2015
     | 4,180 views

    Seeking comfort at times may come through singing songs you like. It is a part of the African American history to sing when frustrated, depressed, or even seeking decisions for life's quest

    This idea was prompted by a song of the world, as we would call it, "Only the strong Survive" by the late Jerry Butler. He talks about a love affair that went wrong and concludes that only the strong survive bad relationships. Of course, I agree and so, that's a song to sing. This Psalm by David ...read more

    Fear in the United States is the biggest reason that one out of every four Americans are on some kind of tranquilizer because they want to deal with the symptoms of the fears instead of facing the things that are causing the fear.

    GOD IS NOT A GOD OF POLITICS. God is not a REPUBLICAN – DEMOCRAT - INDEPENDENT. To confine the God of the Universe to the petty entanglements of American politics is to reject the many attributes of a Supreme God who is OMNISCIENT – OMNIPOTENT – OMNIPRESENT.
