During this major diversion of frolic and excitement--was there even a remote dialogue of how the lack of history of what and who proceeded them has played a major role in helping to maintain a corrupt, unfair, and destructive system?
Hidden Brilliance
Throughout my young and adult life, I've always been impressed by witnessing the informative debates about sports personalities and statistics. Hearing the memorization and elocution of facts concerning professional athletes' careers has always been amazing.
During heated debates of who the G.O.A.T (Greatest of all time) is, and breaking down point averages, career highlights, yards per carry, 3-point, passing yards, rushing yards, receiving yards, rushing touchdowns, average assist, free throw percentage, rebounds per game, assist, steals, blocks, turnovers, and how many triple-doubles a player averages can be easily remembered by the multitude of Black sports fans all across the country.
These same Black fans fail to have any interest in statistics and topics that are relevant to our Black survival, struggle, accomplishment, and development.

Pray for a Grieving Family
A friend in my hometown was once really going through a difficult time in her life. She had lost her son because he was caught in the crossfire of a shooting and died. Then, on the day of her son's repast, his four-year-old son, her grandson, was hit by a truck and died. This mother, these grandparents, these relatives, this family, had been shaken to the core. I'm sure their faith was shattered; their hearts were beyond broken, and their trust in God was on the brink. What can we do as humans to make them feel less pain and better? How do we minister to them? What should we do? What should we say? When and how shall we say it?
