"MARCH ON, DON'T STOP, KEEP THE FIGHT GOING....( A Reminder for Black America and All America....to Keep Moving Forward in 2019!)

Greetings,
  February is Black History Month. Yes, America gave us a Month.  Even Though it was Blacks After The Native Americans Who Built This Country. Last Year for Black History I List a Lot of People of Black History Like Harriett Tubman ( Who Developed The Underground Railroad, And Now Immigrants who are Trying to Be Free are Using that Same Concept of Digging Tunnels to get to This Country)...We Remember Richard Allen Who Founded The First African Methodist Episcopal Church in Philadelphia. ( As I Mentioned Before, God Led Me to Found New St. John A.M.E. Church-Dearborn , The First and Only African Methodist Episcopal Church in Dearborn, Michigan).  A City which had a Deep History of Racism Against Blacks Especially in The Dearborn Police Department. I am Now A Chaplain, ( The First Black Female Chaplain for The Dearborn, Michigan Police Department).  And I Cannot Forget My Uncle The Late,  Kenneth Lyons Kirsey Who was Born in Harrow, Ontario and was a Very Famous Jazz Pianist in The United States,
Let Me Pause a Minute to Honor, Congressman John Dingell, Who Passed Last Week. He was A Fighter for Civil Rights and Health Care. And his Fight for Civil Rights Cost him a Lot, But he Never Stopped. Last Week on February 12th, 2019, I Was at his Funeral,( To Me he was My Uncle John)..I Continue to Pray for his Wife Congresswoman Debbie Dingell for her Strength and that she
Will Continue The Fight for All People!

  Yes, We have A Rich History. Blacks Invented So Many Things, Medical and Non-Medical
that Our Young People Know Nothing about.  We Thank God for The Ongoing Fight of
Rev. Al Sharpton, Rev. Jesse Jackson, Joe Madison  and Others, Who are Not Letting Challenges get in The Way to Help All People. Yes, Let's Get it Straight.  Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Did Not Just Fight for Rosa Parks and The Rights of Black People, But he Also Fought For All People.
Over The Years I have had
Meetings and Discussions with Muslim, Jewish and White Community Leaders and Ministers
Who Were able to Tell Me Their Own Personal Stories about their Walk with Dr. King that I Would of Never Knew about Depending on The History Books.  And Let's Acknowledge Cathy Hughes Who Founded The Television and Radio Network, TV One.

    But Looking at The Present. We Will Always Honor President Barack Obama, The First Black
President of The United States (Who Yes, is A American Mr. Trump....Are You?) And Who Did A  Whole Lot for Our People, that is Not Publicized But Also for All People from Many Different
Ethnicity's. Like Dr. King, President Obama did not just have to deal with Hatred from The White Community, But He had to deal with being Talked about and Stonewalled by his Own Race.
And Michelle Obama, Has Done A Lot to Remind us Who We are, and What "We" as a People Need to Do!

And on February 18th, 2019..( A So Called Presidents's Day).  God is Bringing us Much Further.
Through The Black Women who are Now in Congress, and Who Mean Business Like, Jahana Hayes, The First Black Congresswoman in Connecticut, Ayanna Pressley, First Black Congressperson in Massachuetts, and Lucy McBeth who took her Pain of Losing her Son Jordan, who was Murdered
 by a Racist White Man in Florida to Drive her to help Other Parents and Families and is Now The Congresswoman in Georgia.   And on this Day, there is a 17 Year Old Black Young Man in Houston Young Marcel McClinton who Like The Parkland Students Did not let him Being Shot, Stop him, but With God he has Used that Tragedy to Move him Forward, and from the walls of his Own High School, he has announced that he is Running for The City Council in Houston. You Go Boy!  So People, Keep Pushing On.  Mr. Trump  has
Declared a Dangerous National Emergency just because Nancy Pelosi and The Democrats did not give him his Racist, Fear Mongering Wall. Today, Move On. Org is doing A Massive Protest Against this All Over The Country.  Please Join Them.  Mr. Trump has been Doing Reckless. Racist things that President Obama Would be in Jail For, and God is going to Put a End to it Now! And Because of A Almighty God, The Truth is Coming Out.  God Will Do it Before Mueller Does.  And No,
All of This Confusion around this Wall Will Not Distract God!.... Ain't going to Work, Baby!.  God has had Enough! No More Children in Cages. And Don't Forget, You Can't Shut God Up or Fire Him.  The Truth is Coming Out!  But We as a People Need to Seek God's Face and Pray. Not Seeking His Face is what Caused us to get a Donald
Trump in the First Place.  So Let's All Repent, Wake Up and Get it Together!

   So as The Cry of Black Lives Matter is Out there, because Yes, The Field is Not Equal, When Blacks and  Hispanics are Arrested or Pulled Over Compared to Whites, No it is Not Equal and Fair at All!   But As We Remind others that We are Worth Something, Let's Work Together. The Students of Parkland Taught us That Together We Can Do A Lot.  So Keep Registering People to Vote...And Vote Baby Vote!  And on that Note:
Pray as You Vote! Choose Real, Qualified Candidates Not just because They are Black, Hispanics, Muslim, Women, Have A  Cool Theme or are Democrats.  No, Make Them Prove Themselves!  So On This Day, Let's All Come Together As One, and Pray, Stand Up and Fight!!!!!!
Blessings

"SO LONG..... UNCLE JOHN!"...( The Passing of Congressman John Dingell)

Greetings,
    Today ( February 10th, 2019) is My Birthday. And I Thank God for bringing me to Another Year!
I Pray that in these New Days that I Will Praise Him and Glorify Him More than I Did The Year Before.  This is Also, Two Days Before The Home going of Congressman John Dingell and One Day Before his Public Viewing in Dearborn, Michigan.  Congressman Dingell was 92 Years Old, The Dean of The U.S. Congress Serving Almost 60 Years.  He Fought For Civil Rights and Followed his Father's Foot Steps Fighting for Health Care for All, Through The Affordable Health Care Act, But to Me, He Was..."Uncle John"

     Uncle John along With Mayor John O'Reilly of Dearborn, Really Pushed Me to Get in The Fore-Front.  He Welcomed me and Encouraged Me To Keep Doing What I was Doing. Although I grew up on The Borderline of Detroit and Dearborn, I answered The Call and Founded New St. John A.M.E. Church-Dearborn.   My Church is The First and Only African Methodist Episcopal Church in Dearborn. Congressman Dingell Gave Me a Certificate of Honor for Being The First African Methodist Episcopal Church in Dearborn and For All of My Community Work While he was in The Congress. And as Doors Opened for me, I Continued My Community Work There....  Work that I have done Since The Age of 11.  I Worked Closely With The Police Department, and The U.S. Homeland Security.  And Because of God and Congressman John and Debbie Dingell's Encouragement and With The Support of Mayor O'Reilly and Chief Haddad, I am Now The First Black Female Chaplain of The Dearborn Police Department.

    So Uncle John, I Will Miss You. And We Pray God's Covering Over Congresswoman Dingell, The Sons, Siblings and Family.  But Your Legacy Will Go On.  We are in A Dark Place in This Country. The Racism and Hate Must Stop.  The Caging of Immigrant Children, Legal Immigrants Living in Fear, and The Poor Being Forgotten, is Something that God is About Put A End to  in This Country!.  So to  Everyone Who is Reading This....Stop Looking Only to Washington D.C.to Help With These Problems, Call on God and Get A Mirror and Do Something About it...Your Own Selves!  And Congressman Dingell While in Heaven You May Feel Like Telling One of Your Long Interesting Stories, Well Don't Worry about Boring Anybody.  Because Now You are With Jesus and He Will Listen and Have The Patience to Say....Son Tell Me More!  So Long Uncle John!
We Will Continue to Work.  For We Will Pray, Stand Up.....And Fight!!!!!
Blessings
