  • Politics Is Like Hiring A Hitman
    by Scott Woods inPolitical on2020-08-13

    For me, politics is like hiring a hitman. I have values and things I care about. I care enough about them to at least bother voting for 5 minutes every year for one issue or another. And because I care at least that much, I vote for people who align with the ability to realize the things I care about.

  • Punching Above Our Weight
    by Roger Madison Jr. inPolitical on2020-07-24

    I believe our vote is the punctuation of our voice. Without that resounding exclamation mark, I believe our voices are just incoherent noise.

  • Living in a Black No-Man's Land
    by Roger Madison Jr. inOur Community on2019-10-28

    There are many narratives that define the Black experience in America in this 2nd decade of the 21st century. Our striving over the centuries of our sojourn in this nation is a tapestry of every human experience -- oppression, enslavement, forced assimilation, dehumanization, exclusion, segregation, isolation, struggle, perseverance, achievement, excellence, celebration, mourning, despair, progress, setbacks, lynching, assassination, genocide, terror, self-hatred, low esteem, pride,...

  • Fighting Racism
    by Scott Woods inOur Community on2018-10-25

    I had a boss who was racist. Not an outright bigot, of course; her toolbox was more subtle than most. We bumped heads a lot over inconsequential things. She frequently couldn’t keep my name out her mouth. Lot of gaslighting. You know…2018 style. I tried a lot of ways to combat or navigate her issues. None of them worked, and that’s saying a lot because I’m really good at fighting racism. But at the end of the day – every day – she was my boss, I had to deal with her, and that was that. Finally I...

Food For Thought: Stand When You've Done All That You Can Do

People ask me what do you do when you have done all that you know to do? Stand. Just stand. Get still. Stop moving. Take your hands off the situation and raise your head up to God. Let Go and Let God.

It hit me like a ton of bricks today. God is in control. I mean I know that. But the deepness of that statement and the relief that I should be feeling because that is true hit me. God is in control. I mean really in control. I'm not. There have been so many calamities, trials and tribulations that have come my way that I have risen up from, come back like someone rising from the dead "saying how in the world did i make it, i mean i lived it and i can't believe god got me through it, but he did it, god is in control". Can you feel what I am saying?

I mean if God is in control then he has me. God's got me. I dont have to worry. Whew. I can let go of worry. Do you believe God has you? Then you can say the same thing too.

Sometimes, we try to think our way out of our problems. And try to figure out the "how" when that is not our job. Our job is to pray and then stand.

So when you have done all that you can do. Stand.

Pray.

And believe that God is in control and will deliver you. You've done your part. Now trust that he will do his.

I am living proof, he is constant. He will. If you just believe him at his word. He will not let you down.

Well stay blessed.
