Today I am praying for my hometown Memphis as we all prepare for the release of the Tyre Nichols video. I am especially praying for Tyre’s mother. May she be wrapped in God’s healing love.

It's been a long time since I have screamed while reading a novel. But chapter 20 gutted me. And it's too late for me to drink a Coca-Cola to calm my nerves. Dolen I am a wreck. I am going to keep reading... tomorrow. Whew, chile!

Who is casting an absentee ballot? Make sure you drop it in the mail today or tomorrow!

You don't have to care what horrible people think of you.

I have a question. If you did not vote early, what TIME will you vote tomorrow? Have you scheduled it?
