Never Forget

You’re Black, others will always remind you! There are no Negroes in heaven!

Stay at Home, Keep Social Distancing

This is the worst time for Blacks to get sick. Blacks are dying at an alarming rate by COVID-19 Virus as being reported. It’s amazing how we make up a small percentage in the US, yet we are dying at an alarming rate 70% in some places while making up a large percentage of the prison population, which is exorbitant. Blacks have been in pandemics since arriving in America! Praise God for his Amazing Grace & Mercy, which will deliver us all!

Count It All as Joy

If you are wrapped up in yourself, you are overdressed. I live on the sunnyside of the street, shady people prefer the other side. But you should try to bring them on your side.But When you try to bring them on your side at least four times a week. WE need the sunshine right now. We’;; just continue to pray or we’ll lose the way. I can lead you , but I can’t make you follow. I can give you direction, but I won’t always be able to guide you! Its your move! G.
