COMMENTARY: Want God’s Best: Trust and Rest

NNPA NEWSWIRE — When we trust in ourselves, it’s easy to make bad decisions and even do things that go against God and what’s best for ourselves. The challenge of being tired and weary is that we don’t always make the best choices.

OP-ED: Welcome Back, NLRB – America’s Workers Missed You!

NNPA NEWSWIRE — All indications show that Jennifer Abruzzo, the President’s new general counsel, is helping to lead the charge and losing no time. She has put together a list of Trump-era decisions for reconsideration and is pushing to get important cases before the board quickly. She also indicated that she is in favor of the PRO Act, the most sweeping piece of labor legislation in 50 years and re-establishing the long practice of ordering companies to bargain with unions based on signed cards of support, rather than secret ballot elections. This is a game changer for union organizing and for workers who want a voice in their workplace.

COMMENTARY: It Had Better Be a Hoax

NNPA NEWSWIRE — It would be an understatement to say I was dismayed upon hearing about a challenge on social media that involved students filming themselves physically assaulting teachers. All I could think of was how underpaid teachers are and how there are some adults who live for and love being in the classroom, despite being underpaid and sometimes under-appreciated because of incompetent leadership. I thought about the teachers who use their salaries to help their students.

COMMENTARY: God is Good to Chadney!

NNPA NEWSWIRE — Chadney Christle, for lack of a more lucid term, is a beast. She is a rare combination of vocals, verve, and virtue that culminates in the purest form of musical performance and worship. Now I admit that I have a penchant for full-figured women with broad smiles and strong lungs.
