Progress is the victory of a new thought over old superstitions.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Dear God, Bless my relationships and make them holy. May they support me in times of weakness and may I be for them a source of strength. When I have
plenty, I will share, when I am in need, I will graciously accept their generosity. Let no disagreement - tiny or great, shake the foundation of our trust. Thank You, God, for the love of relationships.

Live without lies, listen without judgment, grieve without fear, and love without losing yourself. May God bless you today and always.

Psalm 9:1. I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things you have done. 2. I will be filled with joy because of you.
I will sing praises to your name, O Most High. 3. My enemies retreated; they staggered and died when you appeared. 4. For you have judged in my favor; from your throne you have judged with fairness. 5. You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked; you have erased their names forever. 6. The enemy is finished, in endless ruins; the cities you uprooted are now forgotten. 7. But the Lord reigns forever, executing judgment from his throne. 8. He will judge the world with justice and
rule the nations with fairness. 9. The Lord is a shelter for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. 10. Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O Lord, do not abandon those who search for you. 11. Sing praises to the Lord who reigns in Jerusalem. Tell the world about his unforgettable deeds. 12. For he who avenges murder cares for the helpless. He does not ignore the cries of those who suffer. 13. Lord, have mercy on me. See how my enemies torment me. Snatch me back from the
jaws of death. 14. Save me so I can praise you publicly at Jerusalem’s gates, so I can rejoice that you have rescued me. 15. The nations have fallen into the pit they dug for others. Their own feet have been caught in the trap they set. 16. The Lord is known for his justice. The wicked are trapped by their own deeds. 17. The wicked will go down to the grave. This is the fate of all the nations who ignore God. 18. But the needy will not be ignored forever; the hopes of the poor will not always
be crushed. 19. Arise, O Lord! Do not let mere mortals defy you! Judge the nations! 20. Make them tremble in fear, O Lord. Let the nations know they are merely human.

SINGING DOCTOR: IMAGINE

By Dr. Elvis Francois

Imagine all the people.

—- In life, there are so many things that divide us. Religion, race, politics, social status and so much more. But today a global pandemic brings us all together as one.

—- Over the next few months our health care system will be tested. Many lives will be lost. Health care providers will be under an incredible amount of stress to save thousands of people. But when times are as dark as they are today, nothing shines brighter than the human spirit.

—- There is something beautiful about a collective struggle. And the beauty in what we are facing today is that the only way to overcome this pandemic is for us to all come together as one.

—- Nurses, doctors, students, research scientists, politicians, Uber eats drivers, cashiers, factory workers etc. Getting through this will be hard but one thing is certain: the only way we will get through it is together, as one.

—- Thankful for my brother Dr. William Robinson on the piano

“You might say that I’m a dreamer. But I’m not the only one. I hope some day that you will join us, and the world will live as one.”

GOD, HEAL OUR FAMILY

Please pray for my step grandson, Daquan. He is 16 years old and has ran away from home. He is disobedient which is part of the reason that he and his step dad have problems getting along. He lives in a bad neighborhood, has been sheltered most of his life, and has no idea what is out there in those streets. Because he doesn’t want to obey, he argues and talks back to the adults in the family. Please pray that he returns home safe and that he is safe while he is out there. Because school is out, due to the virus, everyone is getting on each other nerve. Please pray that God heals our family and give us a quiet and peaceful family spirit. Please pray that his Stepdad calms down and not get offended by everything that he does, right or wrong. Please pray that his stepdad remembers the days and things that he did when he was a teenager. Thank you.
