  Wow! Wow! What a ride! Ever told a toddler not to do something and the minute your back is turned they proceed to do that very thing? I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve had to pray some of my son’s friends out of his life.   You know…that kid that everything in you screamed was a bad influence? That contrary toddler and bad influencer were depicted in the rest of my listening sessions.   Countless times, the adults in the room told the “toddler” not to do certain things because the outcome would be bad. What did the toddler do? Exactly what they were told not to do.    The grownups tried to silence and stifle the bad influencer, but they eventually slipped the leash and wreaked havoc anyway. I Alone Can Fix It laid out the timeline for the birth of that “Just say you won” and “Stop the steal” thing. The part I found the most riveting was when the co-authors (Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker) stepped me through the events of January 6 th fr...

Some time ago, I shared I was interested in the audiobook I Alone Can Fix It , penned by co-authors Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker. I hoped to find out what was happening behind the scenes--from the point of view of those present at the time--that drove the emotions, spiritual responses, and happenings we witnessed in the media. Well…let me tell ya’, it’s been quite a ride so far! I had a few “Oh, so that’s why that happened,” moments. The book kicks off with the pandemic. It beautifully illustrates who knew what when, responses to the situation, and the underlying priority that drove those responses. Here’s a spoiler: The people of this nation were NOT the first priority. Every effort was made toward ensuring the desired poll and election results: withholding information from the public, promoting risky actions because it fed the voter base, pushing quick untested and potentially harmful solutions because the perception of some action was better than no action at all. It’s very...

Church organizations are behaving more like cults than the House of God—the House of Love. If a person isn’t a member of a church and doesn’t walk in step with them in all things—right OR wrong, they ostracize and treat them like they’re unlovable. Folk claim they love people, but more besides those who are a part of their organization…cult…should feel their love. It’s past time to STOP: S Seek Him T Turn from wickedness O Obey the Word of God P Pretend no more Some folk are as prickly as porcupines, but people love and support them ANYWAY in spite of their annoying and tiring stuff, yet they have the audacity to make declarations about who they deem worthy of THEIR love and support. Just…STOP! Promiscuity—heterosexual AND homosexual (yeah, folk know about it)—is going on throughout the church and those folk still stand over the people of God in places of leadership and ministry. Preachers are boldly setting up “harems” in their churches, treating multiple sisters like they’re...
