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.

"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.

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.

Question:  Why do Bad Things Happen to Good People?  (Post #65)

"Sure, rain helps you appreciate sunshine; however, rain also helps your appreciation of an umbrella."  
Question:  Why do bad things happen to good people?

This may undoubtedly be the question of the ages.  Why do things that seem so terrible happen to people who seem to be so good?  
​

Well, I'll have to be honest with you, I think the exact answer to this question belongs only to God.  However, I've been meditating on this question, and I do believe that there's a reasonable hypothesis.  ​

If you’re reading this, then you need to celebrate. 
 
Not because you’re reading this, although if that’s celebratory for you, I won’t stop you.

"Am I willing to risk all that I have for this message?  Would I be willing to stand alone for this message?   Or, would I even be willing to lose my life for it?"
*The photograph above is of the late Fred Hampton.
 
I woke up this morning, in a deep pondering about what exactly this blog’s purpose should be.  This thought led to prayer, and this prayer led to this.
