My father understood the power of the vote in the nonviolent struggle for freedom and justice. Today, I’m asking you to exercise that power.
It’s Election Day. If you haven’t voted, confirm your polling location and hours and get to the polls. If you’ve already voted, help someone else get there.
Vote with a commitment to protecting the dignity and rights of every person.
“Let us march on ballot boxes.”

On World Mental Health Day, and after a night of severe weather for so many, these two words feel especially important: Take care.
Take care of your mind. Take care of your body. Take care of your spirit. And take care of one another.
Storms can leave behind more than physical damage. Fear, uncertainty, loss, and exhaustion can weigh heavily, too. Check on the people you love, make room for rest, and remember that asking for help is an act of strength.
Our well-being matters. Our humanity matters. Take care.

Let these truths encourage you today: There is no problem so big that God cannot solve it. There is no promise too hard for God to fulfill. There is no prayer too small for God to answer. There is no disease that God cannot heal. There is no heart God cannot mend.
macabre = “muh-KAHB”
Worcestershire = “WOOSS-ter-sheer”
omnipotent = “ahm-NI-puh-tunt”
reticent = “RET-uh-sunt”
epitome = “ih-PIT-uh-mee”
myriad = "MEER-ee-ud"
Never make fun of someone if they mispronounce a word.
It means they learned it by reading.
62 years ago today, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was signed into law.
It was not a gift. It was won through courage, sacrifice, organizing, marching, and the refusal to accept legalized discrimination.
But civil rights laws do not protect us by merely existing. They must be enforced, defended, and strengthened.
Today, those protections are being threatened by efforts to weaken enforcement, dismantle equity work, restrict voting power, and distort history. We cannot honor the Civil Rights Act while being passive about efforts to undermine it.
We must stay informed. We must vote. We must pay attention to courts, legislatures, school boards, executive orders, and policies that shape people’s lives.
Freedom is not self-sustaining. Justice must be guarded by every generation.
