A vision of Thankfulness (Somewhere in St. Louis)

(BISHOP GREGORY hOLLEY) bY Hannah L. Jeffers 
    The decision to write the vision was not decision at all.  I sincerely wisht I could take credit for it. However, it is my spiritual man giving ontions to what God has given. I am but a vessel willing to be used. I say this not to be looked upon as some dynamic person, or anyone special It is just that I know that I know I would never plan my life out like this. In every scenario I imagin I am some little suburban house wife living in a quiet community, raisin a garden, going to church on Sunday’s with a husband and spending time with my grandchildren. But this life of writing I would not have dared created. I know it is from a higher power.

Thank God for a vision, and allowing me to work with these wonderful and uniquely gifted  group of people at Grace Fellowship Church located at 4276 Athlone in St. Louis Mo..

A Community ask Why? (Somewhere in Memphis)

Image
 By Gemi Treadwell  A community ask why, but, received no answers. When they see an image like grandmother ‘s oak tree cut down laying lifeless on the ground. The tree had been a part of generations. Growing up in the Riverview Kansas part of town, where they played at the neighborhood park during hot summer months. The tree provided shelter from the sun, gave safety and comfort. It connected the community with nature. This tree also improved the air quality in the community. It was the place where children played games. Growing up during my teenage years, beneath that tree was where I had my first . The tree still had life. It generated energy for all to feel. We needs to know more about this decision. It was a viable loss. Yet the memories are still alive in our hearts and will remind us of what grounded our spirit for almost a century and it is still an ancestral family member.

Freedom, Justice and Equality (Somewhere in Memphis)

Image
Author Patricia Lee     We have gathered information, are still gathering information, will always be gathering information.  When will we have enough information so that we may begin implementing?  I suppose the first answer I would get is “never.”  So, considering that, I propose that you start where you are, start with what you have.  There is a phrase that references: “What’s in your hand?  God can use it.”  So, we encourage you to stop hiding your hand and let God use it.   On our way to freedom, justice, and equality we have a lot of self-work to be done…let’s begin to work on ourselves; let us reason with ourselves.  It is so easy to see fault in others…let us begin to try to see our own faults.  You know we used to ask questions like, “why me?” and then we begin to ask, “why not me?”  If we worked on and with our self-first, we probably would work with others more easily.  Who knows…then we may be able...

Embracing Memories

Image
By Gemi Treadwell   W hat do memories represent? Do we remember  when community was our family? ​We were born in Memphis and grew up ​on the mighty Mississippi river bluff. Soul folks who were influenced by the river’s culture and ​lived close by each other got along with one another we ​fit together like fingers in a glove. We showed   respect for each other ​families taught values -  like showing love. We were culturally based practicing self -sufficiency sharing and exhibiting care for those in need. We were spiritually rooted like most “front porch people”, ​featuring two parent households with dedicated  breadwinners;  ​influenced by religious figures as strong minded civic leaders unifying residents around social issues and politics.        Let us engage the memories to redefine our reality        To be ourselves  learning to be us better    ...
