To My Grands, All Children, Their Teachers and all School Personnel Just Knows You Are…

Protected By Gods: Light, Love,Power and Presence.

Father, I pray that each of their strength comes from You, and that You give them the courage to face any obstacle they may face at school. I pray they know to come to you with their fears and anxiety and to trust you to watch over them and guide them throughout the day.

Along with reading, writing and arithmetic, kids have far more to contend with than ever before. Threats of violence and school shootings, bullying and hostility, pressure and stress, are all very real and present in their lives.

It’s more important now than ever before to cover our children in prayer. As they prepare for a year of learning, we can help them and their teachers, by praying for their safety, protection, encouragement, and wisdom.

Don’t give the devil the satisfaction of taking you on without a fight. Put on the whole armor of God—do it by faith—and go take your victory!

You have to know your enemy. Your battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world. You need God’s Full Armor: 

So, put on the belt of truth, The breath plate of righteousness, The Helmet of salvation and then pick up sword of the Spirit and the shield of faith, and stand firm. It’s a guaranteed and unbeatable strategy. 

🙏🏿 The Lord will keep you from all harm; he will watch over your life; the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.” Psalm 121:7-8🙏🙏🏿🙏

Before you fight over the word ‘woke,’ learn its history. It will blow you away. 

Phil Boas Arizona Republic editorial columnist, AZCentral

Woke is an adjective derived from African-American Vernacular meaning “alert to racial prejudice and discrimination

Less than 10 years ago, “woke” was a word so deeply layered with history and meaning it could evoke years of pain suffered by descendants of slaves living in Jim Crow America.

Led Belly Foundation: ‘

Woke’ emerge with a song about race and suffering by: Led Belly, who admonished listeners to, “Best Stay Woke!” It’s believed to be the first recorded instance of the word. WOKE

As Huddie Ledbetter used “woke,” it meant, when you’re a Black person traveling through a deeply racist state such as Alabama, you need to know, you’re dealing with – a highly refined form of evil.

That Evil personified the real meaning of WOKE: George Floyd was murdered by Racist White Supremist police officers, and televised worldwide. It Woke Young White to activism for a minute; and prove to the whole-world, Black people’s struggle with the police in America.

The word, “Woke”was preserve in the Library of Congress in the 1930s when Congress decided to preserve American folk music in the South. That project took library archivists to Louisiana where they discovered a little-known African American blues singer named Huddie William Ledbetter or “Lead Belly.”He was a seminal figure in the development of Folkways Records, and his work played a major role in the establishment of Folkways at the Smithsonian.

That discovery took Leadbelly north, where he performed at Harvard, Princeton and NYU, to name a few of his professional endeavors. And now, the governor of Florida (A graduate of Harvard) has the audacity to think he can, “decide how African-American contributed to American history; But that won’t happen. His prejudice won’t allow him, or the group he chose to do the research to deal with the real meaning of “WOKE.” He should have spoken to his fellow alumni: Barack Obama.

The 1619 project is the correct history our children are going to encounter on the world stage. The racist white supremacists in America is in capable of telling the true history of our country. The truth is too overwhelming for them. But, it is what it is, and it will never be a lie.

The white supremists use of the word, “WOKE” verifies, their racist attitude. Their woke is: suppressing the vote, banning abortion, getting rid of affirmative action, banning books-not guns, supporting someone for president, whose total purpose is to destroying our democracy.

The governor of Florida says,”We can never, ever surrender to woke ideology. He also added, “the state of Florida is where woke goes to die.”

America, let’s see, “who lives or die. Good will always triumph evil.

Let’s embrace our history, The Good, Bad and Ugly. Then Americans of all races will fight to give African Americans their word back. We’re praying for the soul of America in Jesus’s name. Amen

Juneteenth and the Black Church:By Emanuel Walker…Unity.org

Juneteenth is celebrated as the end of slavery in the United States not because it’s the day President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. That happened two years earlier. It’s the day when Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced all slaves were free—June 19, 1865. The troops were there to enforce the executive decree. It was a day of action, not just words.

For Black Americans, Juneteenth represents a moment of liberation and hope. It is a day to celebrate their ancestors’ resilience, courage, and perseverance in the face of oppression. The Black church played a pivotal role in the struggle for freedom, serving as a beacon of hope and a catalyst for change.

The Black Church: Beyond Worship

The Black church was more than just a place of worship; it was a center of community life. During slavery, enslaved Africans used religious gatherings as a way to connect with each other, express their faith, and forge a sense of belonging. They drew strength from the stories of Moses leading his people out of bondage and of Jesus’ message of freedom and equality.

After emancipation, the Black church continued to play a vital role in African-American life. It provided a space for political organizing, education, and social support. Black churches founded schools, universities, and community centers that served as vital resources for African Americans, particularly in the South.

For Black Americans, Juneteenth represents a moment of liberation and hope. It is a day to celebrate their ancestors’ resilience, courage, and perseverance in the face of oppression.

Let’s remember that Juneteenth-America’s youngest federal holiday-came to prominence in 2020 in partial recognition of the horrific murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and so many other Black folks who have died at the hands of law enforcement. Even in our recent history, Black folks’ freedoms were not their own, but the continued awakening of a country for a better democracy, which time and time again has originated from our communities of color.

Why celebrating Juneteenth matters now more than ever…

🙏🏿🙏1 Corinthians 15: 57 “But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Liberating God, we offer a prayer of thanksgiving and praise for your hearing the cries of the oppressed. Bless your name for giving us the victory and freedom over slavery.🙏🙏🏿🙏🏿

Virginians we have the power to determine what happens in VA. Our vote gives us that power,. We either use it or lose it, thank God, “the choice is ours.”

FYI-Update: To all LGBTQ Virginians, if you were dishonorable discharge from the military, you can now have it reverse. Facts from Delegate Jackie Glass (The Only Female veteran in the House) reported at the Norfolk Saturday Democratic Breakfast. June 3, 2023. An informed Voter will Vote.

Gun violence in America this year, as of June 3, 2023, starting with our babies ages 0-11 years: 114-killed, 270 injured. Teens ages 12-17: 651-killed,1659 injured; and 269 Mass Shooting. In only Sixth-months Virginia-America the total number of Gun Death, all causes and ages 17,967. America is starting to look and act barbaric. 

Our Mission: This effort to eradicate gun violence, beginning in the state of Virginia, is a clarion call to all grandmothers mothers and women (GMW) ages (18 to 120) to use our collective power of our love, God, dollars and our vote to unite with all Political leadership, and every American whose soul is weary of the carnage that gun violence has reeked upon our children and our state of Virginia. The AK-15 CAN ONLY BE USED TO KILL People, Banned for Hunting Animals. Our good-old 2nd amendment rights. Your Vote Your Choice.

Our Vision:  The safety of our children is of paramount importance.  The vision of GMW is to solicit the involvement of all grandmothers, mothers and women to re-create an environment in our country where every child can both feel safe and be safe

We must elect candidates who’s going to legislate policies and laws that benefits the economical-societal environment of their constituents and, make it perfectly clear that people are more valuable than guns, drugs and politics. Our children need to be shown and treat as our future, “love and cherished. For example see:  Minnesota Legislative Agenda 2023, ReflectIng the needs of their constituents to benefit all Minnesotans. Fact Check People over politics. Democrats really care about all Americans. Action always speaks louder than words.

To all Virginia, we have the power to determine who governs us. Our vote gives us that power. We either use it or lose it, the choice is ours. Not the GOP, being the decider of what human rights should look like for women, LGBTQ, and Trans. In Virginia.

Look at what the GOP is trying to doing in Virginia: Making frivolous decisions, sending troops to the Southern Borders, to copycat Ron DeSantis of Florida. Banning books, telling African American our history doesn’t matter. We can either except it and be quiet, complain to each other, or we can. vote them out of office. We have the power, and opportunity, this November 7, 2023; it’s up to us. The GOP Authoritarian Behavior can only exist IF WE LET IT!

Democrats are looking to regain the House (with our Help) and keep its Senate majority, which would give the party a stronger “brick wall” to block Youngkin’s priorities from passing. Even with just Senate control, Democrats were able to stop efforts to roll back voting law changes and proposed abortion bans. We will not tolerate Ron DeSantis’s agenda In Va..

It’s time Virginia’s Elected Officials legislate with the understanding they were voted into office, and this year all 140 seats in our General Assembly is up for re-election, The House of Delegate. The Senate . Who’s my legislator.

Virginia’s Primaries are June 20, 2023. We have some excellent candidates running. Please Support Your District.

WE CAN CHOOSE WHO GOVERNS US, By Voting. In The Name of Jesus, We Pray.
