Juneteenth is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. Juneteenth marks the anniversary of the announcement of General Order No. 3 by Union Army General Gordon Granger on June 19, 1865, proclaiming freedom for enslaved people in Texas.
To all celebrating today may this always be a day of remembering and reflection on the freedom to live life and full of opportunities to make the world a better place.
To all the dads out there Happy Father’s Day. Being a father means a lot of different things these days. Some moms play the role of dads, and some fill the role of dad through adoption, marriage, and so many other ways. Enjoy this day good people.
I believe that God is expressed differently in different people. Everyone is a part of a journey where we are walking one another home. The divine can be found in different places with different faces. For many, their faith is a part of the DNA of their people. Others enter into a relationship with God based upon a sacrifice.
It’s possible that myths have true meaning. It’s interesting when all that intersects. So no matter if you are team Jesus/Yahweh, team Athena or team Vishnu you are seeking and searching. Don’t wait to go to eternity, realize that heaven can be found here and now.
Love one another no matter how you worship, pray or engage in a spiritual community.
My friends welcome to the weekend. Whatever you are doing have some fun.
Friends, I hope your Friday is going well. I took today off as a mental health day and I am glad to be doing some relaxing and productive stuff. I work in a small call center and it can be kinda loud sometimes so taking a 3-day weekend is helpful. I appreciate you keeping things going on the job to all who are working today.
Let’s have a good weekend ahead. Be safe, it’s kinda scary out there. Grace, peace, and love.
June is an important month for some very important causes.
Alzheimer’s is a devastating disease that takes the lives of our family and friends. Important people in my life have suffered from it. Until there is a cure there must be the support of patients and caregivers. Awareness is key here.
June is Pride month where the contributions and lives of the LGBTQ community are celebrated and highlighted. I am a supporter of those good people who is just wanting to live, love, and support their families and to just live freely.
