MY TRUTH
Talking about Gap Years
|
|
By Cheryl Smith
I’ve often said, “My grandchildren are the greatest. If I had known how great they would be, I would’ve skipped the middle men!”
Recently I watched women taking little children to the daycare. I watched as they lovingly dropped off their charges and I silently said a prayer and gave thanks for them being in the lives of their grandchildren.

Jim Schutze and I Listen!

By Vincent L. Hall
I love Jim Schutze! I hate Harlan Crow’s ugly building. So it was a no-brainer for me to post Jim Schutze’s latest, well-justified rant on my Facebook page. As someone who has pursued writing styles since the 7th grade, no one is more entertaining and substantive. And generally, the best editorialists are one or the other. Jim is both and beyond. He can paint a picture to posit you into his perspective.

No matter the denomination, the clarion call was the betterment of the community as it went from emancipation to the civil rights movement of the 1960s to today’s Black Lives Matter movement.

The Path
As we walk through life's journey, we leave footprints. Some just show where we are going. Others redirect us when we get lost. Still others remain to guide those we leave behind. I see your footprints.
Will you/they see mine?
