Faith with a side of Politics

I am a woman of faith but I also have compassion for my fellow man, woman, and child. If you are wondering what this 92% I am speaking of its the number of us who voted overwhelmingly for Kamala Harris.

Some might argue I was voting for abortion and I would argue I was not. I was voting for your right to choose. Some might say I was voting for the destruction of America, however I would argue I was voting for the right to preserve it.

You see when I look at the discourse of what is going on today it makes my heart sick as leader in the church. Why? because we are supposed to be standing up for the least of these and yet we are being the most silent.

In the face of name calling, abhorrent treatment of brown bodies, putting people in cages, rounding them and shipping them off to who knows where, and this is labeled as Christian? Then I want no parts of this new age Christianity. What I do not see happening from a legislative standpoint is our lawmakers developing a comprehensive system of immigration reform which would make the system more effective and efficient. However, what I am seeing is modern day slavery dressed up to make a group of people feel better. I am not much removed from the era of Jim Crow and from America’s history of slavery of my ancestors. To think this is the place we are heading towards in 2025 with our brown brothers and sisters makes my heart sick. lf anything would keep me up at night, this would keep me pacing the floor praying to God for a miracle.

Day in and day out the news cycle is bombarding us with one thing after another after another. I suppose to keep us in fear of the next thing they plan on doing. Well I for one REFUSE to live in fear of an administration who thinks I have no power.

I am going to keep telling my stories through this blog weekly. Life is too busy for me to do it more than that. I am going to get involved politically in my local community. I mean I have to start somewhere to build my tribe. And by all means, find some joy in the day. Don’t let this administration steal your joy or your peace! Even one act of kindness for someone else is doing some good. We all have to start some where. Eventually once we all start, we will begin to see dents and cracks in this regime. And when it falls, its going to fall HARD!

Just wait! Think about all the investigations into their shenanigans which will come out…then we will really see the chickens coming home to roost or taco!!!
