It’s nothing like taking a stroll down memory lane; for some this brings about good memories, while for others, not so good memories. I had the opportunity to go home this past weekend. I was able to spend time with my family and enjoyed every bit of it. I went to my home church on Sunday, and as I enjoyed the service I looked around and was in awe! I could really feel the love in that room. I began to think of how blessed I am, I know what love feels like. While home, I felt the love of family, friends, and my church family. It was a wonderful…

My mind began to drift off and I wasn't paying attention to the radio, but then I heard her scripture for her Ericaism, Mark 11:24. I had been thinking about the things in the news, what occurred this past weekend in Charlottesville, and the state of our country. It's hard to hear about these things and feel like you can't do anything. While I'm sure there are many things that you might think of us doing, teach your children right from wrong, stand up against wrong when you see or hear it, call out…
