Dems Protest Barrett SCOTUS Nomination with Boycott Effort

 Democrats protest Senate Judiciary Committee vote to confirm Judge Amy Barrett to the Supreme Court by expressing their discontent in an organized boycott. In what has by all accounts been a lightening speed effort by Republicans to swiftly ramrod Judge Barrett’s Supreme Court nomination through the Senate where the voting deck is stacked in their favor. They have wasted no time in taking maximum advantage of the opportunity. Little time out or political reprieve was allowed for public grieving over the loss of Supreme Court Justice and cultural icon Ruth Bader Ginsburg. A Supreme Court replacement was announced by Trump  just a few days after RBG’s death and the nomination process begun almost immediately thereafter. It has just been a month since her passing and less than 10 days before the Presidential election. Today Democrats plan a show of force in demonstrating their disapproval of the Republican power grab in an effort to rouse public opinion that could sway the presidential vote and slow down the pace of the nomination process. Though it seems unlikely that will occur considering the momentum they have gained so far in relation to the nearness of the November election. Pray for a miracle. If you have joyful visions of an Obama court in the future.

Movin’ On in God’s Name

 Movin’ On is the #1 song by gospel recording artist Jonathan McReynolds joined by Mali Music and it’s message is conveyed in a combination of upbeat and lighthearted music with old school r&b rhythm mixed in. The song gets you feeling and thinking positively about moving on from any situation in life that you may feel god does not want you to remain in. “I’m closing chapters. I’m turning pages, glory to glory from faith to favor. As you intently listen to the lyrics, Jonathan sings “I know my rear view can’t compare to what God will do with my life. I’m movin’ on”.  It’s about progress, growth, moving forward and celebrating the future. It brought to mind an archived blog post I wrote on forgiveness. Forgiving others is also about moving on, moving forward and not getting stuck in negative energy that harms you more in the long run.  Entitled, “On Forgiveness: the Heart of the Matter featuring India Arie’s cover of the Heart of the Matter a song on forgiveness by Eagles’ band member Don Henley. India also has recorded a duet with Jonathan a few years back. Their song is entitled Whole.
