Serving in The Military without Equal Opportunity

The military's Discrimination Problem was so bad in the 1960s.  On July 26, 1948, President Harry Truman signed Executive Order 9981, which declared that "there shall be equality of treatment and opportunity for all persons in the armed services without regard to race, color, religion or national origin." 

Mother’s Day

If it were up to us, every day would be Mother's Day, so we could have 365 opportunities to acknowledge who they are and all they do. They dry our tears. They answer our countless phone calls. They always know what to say when we need it most. And there's no denying that they give the warmest hugs.

Financial Freedom

What does financial freedom mean to you?  I’m guessing you might define it as finding yourself in a financial position where you don’t need to work unless you want to.  Ultimately, freedom means you are in control of your finances and your life choices.

Remembrance of Paul Beasley

Gospel singer and member of the Alabama Blind Boys, Paul Beasley, passed away on March 13, 2023.  The storied tenor singer spent years with the Gospel Keynotes and the Mighty Clouds of Joy before losing sight and joining the Blind Boys in 2013.  

Beasley was born on December 11, 1944, in DeRidder, La., and was known among gospel quartet fans for the songs “Jesus You’ve Been Good To Me” with the Keynotes and “Walk Around Heaven,” which was performed with the Mighty Clouds–both pieces employed the artist’s unique falsetto. 

Narcissism

Narcissists have a prominent place in the popular imagination, and the label "narcissist" is widely deployed to refer to people who appear too full of themselves. There's also a growing sense that narcissism is on the rise around the world, especially among young people.

Barrier Breakers & Black History

Barrier Breaker is an action phrase, meaning you can do something to improve your life and circumstances. The Living God dwells inside you—you possess the same Spirit that heals the sick, brings power to the weak, and knows peace is indescribable.

Taxes 2022

Since 1950, individual income taxes have been the primary source of revenue for the U.S. federal government. Together with payroll taxes (used to fund social programs like Social Security and Medicare), income taxes amount to roughly 80 percent of all federal revenue, and are the essential fuel on which our government runs.

Behind Every Successful Man, There is a Strong Woman

Sometimes, it happens that the role of a woman in the life of a great man is underestimated and misunderstood. Even when her sacrifices and contributions to the success of men are talked about, she remains behind the scenes. 

Guns, Leading cause of Death with Our Kids Part II

But in recent years, gun-related injuries surpassed motor vehicle accidents as the most common cause of death in youths and children, and this number continues to increase each year.
