Don’t kneel. Don’t lock arms. Don’t love each other. Don’t empathize with your brother. Don’t care about your country. Don’t speak up for the vulnerable. Don’t seek justice or righteousness.
Just play.
Sad.

From the tragic loss of Kobe to the pandemic of Corona, 2020 seems to be reminding me that I am not omniscient, omnipresent or omnipotent. In fact, I have little control over life itself. Even the air I breathe is not mine.

COVID vaccination status never should’ve been public knowledge.
Media shouldn’t have been permitted to interrogate NFL players about themselves or teammates. It only served to pressure players into decisions to avoid scrutiny and allowed the public to assassinate their character

White face doesn’t exist. Black face however was an American practice of racial derision, stereotyping and oppression expressed most commonly in minstrel shows during the 19th and 20th century.
So no, in America a black man with a white faced costume is not equivalent to a white man in black face.
This is why it’s vitally important that we teach American history in schools so that we don’t remain culturally illiterate.

19 years ago I married my best friend. I’m not sure it was love at first sight but it was certainly close. I definitely knew at first sight that she was the one I would spend my life with. We got married on July 2, 2005 in Atlanta… and I was terrified. I was scared that I would fail as a husband. I was scared that I wasn’t good enough for her. I was scared because my friends said I was too young. I was scared because I knew how sinful my heart was. I was scared because of the unknown.
BUT, I was obedient. And over these last 19 years of pruning, growing, fighting, failing, loving, learning, leading and leaning on the Lord and each other, my cup is overflowing because of this woman God chose for me. @_kirstenwatson_ you are my greatest joy and I thank God for us. Happy Anniversary my love.

Twenty years of marriage! ❤️ The feeling of joy and accomplishment is indescribable. We have so much more to learn and areas to grow, but I am in awe of God’s faithfulness. HE kept us together when we wanted to walk away. HE gave us seven beautiful children plus two we never got to hold. HE established the work of our hands as we journeyed from place to place and HE has already been where we are going. The best is yet to come. I love you babe. Happy Anniversary!

If you’re comfortable enough to tell the world about it, there’s no turning back.
Dennis Allen said they asked him if Jamaal Williams could get a TD. He said no, he wanted to take a knee. He said the players ran that play anyway. He said Arthur Smith was right to be upset.

Dean.
Yes there is a black national anthem. It’s called “Lift Every Voice and Sing.” Been that way since the early 1900’s. And while we have had a black national anthem black people have been loyal to America, fighting in her wars, working in her factories, loving her promise, and contributing to her global dominance. Black people have loved a country that has not always loved them back.
Two things can be true. Lift Every Voice encourages a people to faithfully rely on God for provision and a future while still growing and flourishing where they are planted. And yes, the Star Spangled Banner is the official National Anthem (1931).
For the innocently uneducated it may seem that the two songs are at odds. They can be taught and will embrace a broadened understanding.
However, the intentionally ignorant, who desire to sow discord and controversy, are the true impediment to the unity they espouse.
Which one are you?
There is no Black National Anthem.
There is no Asian National Anthem.
There is only the National Anthem

No Matt. Cover up the killing and refuse to arrest Darius for two months until a video is released and the nation responds in horror. That’s why people would talk about it for a month. Don’t use this horrific murder and this unthinkable loss to incite people with false analogies
Say his name. 5 year old Cannon Hinnant was executed in cold blood while riding his bike. The accused killer is Darius Sessoms. He allegedly walked up to the boy and shot him dead in front of his sisters. Reverse the races and this is the only thing anyone talks about for a month

I love hearing so many young athletes publicly proclaiming the name of Christ in victory and defeat. My sincere prayer is that their lives bear fruit that matches their proclamation and that spiritual leaders in their spheres commit to discipling them as they navigate the arena of sport and life.

The solution for unwanted children is to WANT them.
The solution for unloved children is to LOVE them.
The solution for a future of poor education, poverty and incarceration is EDUCATIONAL INVESTMENT, JOBS, and DECARCERATION.
Killing innocent life will NEVER be the solution.
Here’s Democratic state rep. John Rogers opposing an abortion ban in Alabama: “It ought to be a woman’s choice. . . . Some kids are unwanted. So you kill them now or you kill them later. You bring them into the world unwanted, unloved, then send them to the electric chair.”

Amber Thurman’s tragic death was caused by complications from legal abortion drugs and gross medical malpractice. She should have been treated immediately by physicians who instead waited too long to act.
Georgia’s pro-life law is not the issue. It does not criminalize doing a D&C, especially when there is no detectable fetal heart rate. Amber should be alive, and @vp should focus her attention on these facts so we can prevent the next tragedy rather than promoting politically motivated falsehoods.
A young mother from Georgia should be alive today, raising her son and pursuing her dream of attending nursing school.
This is exactly what we feared when Roe v. Wade was struck down. In more than 20 states, Trump Abortion Bans prevent doctors from providing basic medical care.

Get off @Jaboowins back. This man is the best teammate I’ve ever had. Loves this city, this game and embodies everything you can ask for in a leader. Was a rare situation and we all take responsibility. Nobody thought it would get blown out of proportion. Also f*ck the falcons

Actually his or her heart is beating 100 to 160 times a minute at 6 weeks. Simple biology that has nothing to do with the sex of the individual writing legislation.
“6 weeks pregnant” = 2 weeks late on your period.
Most of the men writing these bills don’t know the first thing about a woman’s body outside of the things they want from it. It’s relatively common for a woman to have a late period + not be pregnant.
So this is a backdoor ban.

You can have an abortion in the 9th month in at least 9 states. Though it rarely happens (91% occur in the first 13 weeks) it is legal nonetheless.

How does a vote for VP Harris honor my family?
My mother and father were born into Jim Crow. My mother’s father had to flee his hometown because of death threats because he swam in the whites only pool. My father’s father worked on the naval base for our country but couldn’t even use the same bathroom that Nazi POWs had the privilege of using. My ancestors went from cargo to chattel to freedmen and my kids inherit that legacy.
I respect my fellow Americans right to vote for the candidate of their choosing. I respect Kamala Harris’s ethnic background and her family’s immigration story. But the “she’s black so we must vote for her” narrative has to stop. She ain’t that. And that’s perfectly ok.
Today I had the privilege to stand alongside BLACK MEN who are voting to elevate a BLACK WOMAN to the highest position of power in the world.
With this decision we honor our ancestors, our fathers, our mothers, our sons, our daughters and we honor each other. 🤜🏾🖤🤛🏾
