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?
