I say all of that to say this, make no mistake about it. The GOVERNMENT IS DOING JUST FINE because “We The People” are footing a massive portion of the bill.
Warning:  This isn’t necessarily a fun read; however, it’s an educational ride that I hope will transform our thinking in a better way. 
 
Fact:  the financial impact of the novel coronavirus on the United States has been undeniable.  It is fair to say that COVID-19 has not only stirred a public health crisis, but it has prompted an economic crisis as well.  The Brookings Institute released its research on the impact of COVID-19 on the American financial system.  In an era of “fake news,” it's important to note that the “Brookings Institution is a nonprofit public policy organization based in Washington, DC. [Their] mission is to conduct in-depth research that leads to new ideas for solving problems facing society at the local, national and global level.” 
 
I know, I know, but you have to do that now. Anyway…

I pray this helps, and it's been a blessing reconnecting with you at the end of this year.  I pray to see more of you in 2021. ​
Once again, 365 days later, and here we are.  In less than 24 hours, the year 2020 will be history.  
 
2020.  You literally had to live it to believe it.
 
​I can't lie; this year has definitely been one for the books. It has been humbling, transformative, reformative, and stressful.  This was the year that made me better.  I'm thankful to note that I definitely ended the year a lot better than I started it.  This year is hard to capsulate.  There are so many facets of 2020 that I’m still processing; however, what I’ve learned has been essential.

Help!  I love God, but the Bible is Boring!  (Post #75)

“Don’t get me wrong. I know the Bible is essential, and I know I need it to grow in my faith. However, if I’m being all the way honest, I have to admit that sometimes, the Bible seems boring.”
As a minister, I know the importance of having a very intimate relationship with the Word of God.  I understand the power of allocating a portion of your day to read and meditate on the Scriptures. The Word of God is the power of our salvation, our guidance in trouble, the fuel of our faith, and the reminder of God’s trustworthiness. The decline of the human race has been the result of our increased separation from God, and the Bible is God’s blessed Gift, designed to bring us back into the Light.

Is it Possible for America EVER to Have Racial Equality?  (Post #74)

"It is clear – there remains, some 400 years later, a substantial imbalance in the racial equality of America."
The United States of America was founded on a promise.
 
The founding leaders gathered on July 4, 1776, to officially approve the nation’s Declaration of Independence. The Congress, assembled at the Pennsylvania State House in Philadelphia, PA, to scribe and ratify the document that would explain why the Thirteen Colonies at war with the Kingdom of Great Britain, were now deemed independent sovereign states.

Does God REALLY Want us to Wait Until Marriage for Sex? (Post #72)

"As a society the proficiency of the lover, has grown almost higher than the efficiency of the love.  Sex has become more about individuality rather than intimacy. It's about performance and not purity."
Warning: You're about to read an unpopular opinion.  This "opinion" is also absolute truth, but unpopular, nonetheless.

Molded by 39 Year of Life, 17 Years of Marriage, and 6 Years of Ministry (Post #68)

"Still, in the spirit of our community, I have learned the power of acknowledging that I am indeed a Perfectly Imperfect Perfectionist who serves a Perfect God, Who's always perfecting me."
December is always a particular month for me.  Naturally, I enjoy all of the typical things that most people love about the month.  The crisp feel of cold weather, the joy of Christmas time, and the pending start of a new year.  However, this month is always extra special for me.  The month of December carries a few commemorative celebrations that I uniquely enjoy.

"How the Bible, Dr. King, and a frog taught me about Compassion” (Post #61)

11/4/2019

"Fact:  we as a society are slowly, but assuredly losing our God-given compassion.  We are rarely ‘us.’  Rather, we see ‘them.’"
So, there’s an illustration that people often use.  I’m pretty sure you’ve heard it before.  It’s referred to as the “Boiling Frog Fable.”  The story basically goes like this: a frog is placed in a pot of cool water.  In time, the pot of water is eventually heated to boil.  However, because the boiling process isn’t instant, and the frog is by nature able to adapt to very harsh climates, the boil is told to go unnoticed.  And as a result, the frog is alleged to willingly remain in the water, and without knowing, eventually die amidst the boiling.

"I see these 2 young girls and I think, “This is what it looks like.  This is the very odd and sad picture of 2 teenagers who STILL believe in Santa Claus."
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, in a hole, 10,000 feet below the dirt, and in a bunker, then I’m sure you’ve been made aware of all of the recent allegations facing R&B star, Robert Kelly.

Dust Yourself Off and Try Again, and Again, and Again... (Post #54)

"At some point, we’re going to have to take a look in the mirror, dig deep, and begin to ask ourselves the hard questions.  Questions that will (and should) begin to expose what prayerfully, the real problem could be."
​I’ve heard it said that a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.  If that’s true (and I’m assured that it is), then I pray you’d allow this next statement to serve as the sugar. 
 
Fact:  it takes great courage and a very resilient spirit to keep trying a thing over and over again.  To look at a task and make a convicted decision that, in spite of a number of failed attempts, you refuse to give up or accept defeat.  J.K. Rowling had a manuscript rejected dozens of times until it was finally accepted by a London publisher.  The title you ask?  Harry Potter and The Philosopher’s Stone.
