Always wondering what I'll be when I grow up...too many shiny things! Of course, this creates exciting days and lots of rich, textured experiences as I've navigated through life, growing spiritually and deepening relationships...
Day Eleven. My dad's birthday. Mine too. He's not Black, but family lore has it that my mom's German/English/European family thought she'd married a black man when she married our dad who's from Peru. He taught me so much by his life and actions. 21 years after he left us I still miss him. TY Dad.

It's Day 10 of Black History Month.
Ms. Wanda Williams (not pictured) and I attended Christ the King Presbyterian church together for several years. The love, honor and care she showed while caring for her husband who had Alzheimer's, is an example that I will long remember. We loved our hats...

D7 - Black History Month.
I celebrate Leroy, who taught me about Juneteenth, 46 years ago. Every year since on that date I think about Leroy. I celebrated when it because a US Federal holiday in 2021. It's good to celebrate freedom, even if slave owners don't want people to know they're free.

The Trump administration has prioritized attacking immigrant families, including when they are the most vulnerable.

Hopefully this word is passing through and to the communities that need it.
As these ICE raids continue to infiltrate and scare our communities, it’s important that everyone is prepared and knows their rights.
Know Your Rights! Share with friends and family, and have them share, too!

Black History Month, D6 - Through Nat, I met his wife, Mrs. Anna Tate, realtor extraordinaire who spent HOURS and DAYS driving us around Oak Cliff to find our home in 2012. For THREE months! We love her! If you're looking for a realtor in Dallas, let me know. I'll put you in touch with Mrs. Anna.

Day Five: In 2010, Mr. Nat Tate began helping my team work on an orientation curriculum for our organization. We had a tiny budget and I was so ignorant about what to do. Nat patiently taught me and always maintained a sense of humor and godly attitude. What a joy & blessing to work with him!

Today I spotlight Ms. Star Nelson--a dynamo, spiritual giant, passionate about connecting people to the heart of God. She and her husband Ron work tirelessly to mobilize Blacks, African Americans, and communities of color to serve in full time missions.

On Day Three of Black History month, I celebrate in-coming Executive Director SIL International, Dr. Johnstone Ndunde. During the last years of my service with SIL, I had the opportunity to work with Johnstone as he led the Global Localisation team. God's blessing on him in this new role!

(You can't make this stuff up!) Texas Governor Abbott (pictured here) orders state agencies to eliminate DEI policies. Perhaps no one has ever explained to him what DEI stands for?

On Day Two of Black History Month - I want to pay tribute to my friend Johanna Fisher. Johanna has worn many hats during her lifetime; caregiver, radio personality, receptionist, spiritual mom, music lover, cultural guide, to name a few. I appreciate her love for Jesus and her friendship.

As we celebrate Black History Month, I would like to celebrate Dr. Esau McCaulley. I appreciate his books, his perspective, and his walk with Jesus. And especially how he challenges us to walk like Jesus did, and to explore what changes we need to bring about in our lives.

How to go from being a helper to a millstone in a few swooshes of a pen in the hand of a felon.
PEPFAR is discontinued.
Ebola meds are not available thanks to EOs being signed by this man.
What were people thinking when they voted for him?

This seems to be true, and good news.
I saw a post saying that ICE is pausing its tip line, so I decided to call myself to verify.
The recorded voicemail said they are not currently accepting immigration status tips.
Good job, friends.

After months of being in a new home and traveling, piggybacking internet from our son's home across the street and three houses up, today we got our OWN internet connection. As I was reveling in the speed and not being kicked off every few minutes, this saying came to mind...

People like Speaker Johnson who get worked up about being compassionate to all while at the same time applauding a president who pardons convicted criminals...makes me wonder about their moral compass. It certainly can't be pointing true north.
She said, “May I ask you to have mercy Mr. President on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away." If Mike Johnson thinks that’s “radical,” perhaps he has a fundamental misunderstanding of his own religion.

This looks interesting. I've never been a twitterer and Instagram is somewhat of an enigma to me, although I do post things there from time to time.

These are difficult times. Many things look bleak and glum, and in fact, they really are. However, many things are beautiful still. Here are some photos from our recent trip to Spain, that was full of family time, friends, and beautiful scenery. Enjoy.

Well, when you have Jeff Bezos as your CEO, it's easy to understand why things at the Post are not in very good shape.

Another good reason to walk, or perhaps, run, away from each of these organizations/businesses. What a bunch of kisser-uppers. No spine, and no real moral values.
Corporations give money to Trump because they, like him, only care about themselves.
