From The Streets To Life In School

In 2000, my mother died and I was devastated.  I believe God knew what He was doing because I would have followed my mother in death if He had not intervened.  I went to jail from 2000 to 2002 for things I am still very ashamed to talk about.  My brother was killed on memorial [...]

This is the month, this is the month that the Lord has made…

Who and what will we be today but for our good mothers?  They carried us in their wombs for nine months and labored to birth us into this world.  They sat and watched our infant heads as we slept in our unassuming cradles night after night.  They stayed up fanning discomfort from our sides when [...]
