Revisiting The Sermons That Inspired an Intermission

Around this time two years ago I was wrestling with the idea of ending my tenure at Dillard after 10 years (ten is a perfect number). I reached out to mentors to get their input, but God spoke to me. ALL. SUMMER. LONG. I mean, from May 16 to August…

Let The HBCU Lying Begin

Former President Trump has announced that he will run for office again in 2024. He has successfully held together his base, giving him a great advantage against any potential challengers.
