I am a former EMT. I volunteered in an emergency room. I have been a licensed attorney and active duty Army Officer for nine years. I have represented and helped over 60 sexual assault victims. I have cleared the names of wrongfully convicted criminals. Who would want to hurt me? Well, none of that matters because…I am still a black man who jogs.

"I saw healthy, young people die just as often as I saw elderly, sick people die. These people died alone. Their families were given a FaceTime goodbye, which to me, felt cheap. I didn’t know how to apologize for not being enough."
If you struggle for joy – SING! If you are joyful – SING! In God’s perfect design and in His perfect understanding of the human condition He has bound joy and singing together for His people.
