From the Obama Archives:Gun Control


 This poster was circulated during the Obama For America (OFA) campaign for gun control. It popped up as my Facebook Memories post on Facebook today.  I am lifting it up and sharing with you as a reference to the many successful programs and initiatives that Obama was a force for while he was President of the United States. We will be posting historic blog posts from time to time as part of the politics category on this blog.

Video of the Weekend-Medley Performed at 2017 Stellar Awards: Jonathan Butler, Israel Houghton, Travis Greene and Jonathan McReynolds-"I Gotta Have You";"You Made a Way";"You Make All Things New"; “I Will Follow You Forward”!

 Our video of the weekend, formerly “video of the week” is a Stellar Awards performance from the 2017 archives featuring an assembled quartet of gospel and jazz recording artists Israel Houghton, Travis Greene, Jonathan Butler and Jonathan McReynolds. It was a smooth performance indeed.  Noteworthy.



Prayers Up!



Today I am lifting up special prayers for those who we don’t know are struggling with COVID and other illnesses because for some reason or other, their condition has not been shared with their communities. So the following link to an earlier prayer podcast that I recorded is dedicated especially to you. Perhaps you or your caregiver can provide an audio or visual message from them or you if you are able, that I can post on this blog and our  Facebook Pray in Place Prayer Circle to authenticate that you are indeed standing in the need of prayer for a serious health condition. I promise I will post it as soon as possible and circulate it to churches and the broader community. You can send it”to cynthiawilsonministries@gmail.com or creativessel@gmail.com. In the meantime, please listen to the podcast episode below, a prayer for your healing, uplift and encouragement.

All Aboard! Next Station Academy Awards

      

In light of the coronavirus pandemic, the producers and organizers of the Oscars televised broadcast tonight have come up with one of the most innovative and creative sets for the Academy Awards, ...wait for it... a little drum roll please...the Los Angeles train station. I can’t wait to see this in full swing. If only I had known in advance i.e., by at least 4 days, the location of tonight’s show, I would have zoomed in on that California Zephyr and arrived at my final destination right there, on time and on location. Well, a girl can’t have everything, can she? I’m still up for reviewing though. Look forward to the red carpets whether on railroad tracks, stone, carpeted or wood flooring. Can I get a witness?

Video of the Week-Biden Acknowledges Genocide of Armenians

 Today, Friday, April 23, 2021, we recognize the importance of keeping on track of the notable developments in our society including politics and culture. These are the latest political news, art and culture events of the week by category that are impacting our nation.

Below is a video of President Biden acknowledging the atrocity against  Armenians that amounted to genocide. This marks the first time that this event involving ‘mass killings’ had ever been formally acknowledged by any other President in our nation’s history. To watch the video click the View Web Version at the bottom of  this page.



This acknowledgment is perhaps more timely than we know in light of atrocities that are currently taking place in Myanmar and other hot spots of war, civil unrest and political upheaval. There have been  public outcries concerning killing sprees that are not being monitored sufficiently by local or National authorities nor intervened into pursuant to United Nations policies or protocols, particularly in Myanmar. 

Let us keep those regions and the leadership entities responsible for protecting human lives and human rights through monitoring and peace keeping missions lifted in prayer.
