Memorial Day Tribute to Booker T. Washington
On this Memorial Day, I honor not just those who died in battle, but those who shaped the nation's spirit—like Booker T. Washington, an early mentor to me.
Born into slavery, he rose to become a builder of minds and character. He taught that dignity comes through discipline, service, and self-respect. His quiet strength reminded us that greatness can be forged in classrooms and workshops as well as on battlefields.
Thank you, Mr. Washington.
May 26 – Serendipitous Thoughts by Sugar Bear
“Today, I found peace in remembering who’s really in charge.”
“He is seated at the right hand of the Father.” —Nicene Creed
“Jesus Christ… is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.” —Romans 8:34
Personal Reflection:
Turn on the news, scroll the headlines, walk through your week—it’s chaos out there.
One group’s shouting, another is spinning, and somewhere in the middle, your soul starts to sink.
But here’s what I remembered today: Jesus isn’t pacing. He’s seated.
“Seated at the right hand of the Father.”
That’s not just a position—it’s a declaration: the work is finished, and the King still reigns.
He’s not running for office. He’s not losing control. He’s not caught off guard.
He’s reigning in love, with justice in one hand and mercy in the other.
I want to try to sell you on something—not a product, but a posture.
Every morning, start with this simple prayer:
“Lord, may Your words be my words.”
Let that shape how you post, how you speak, how you sit at the table with those who disagree.
Let that anchor you when the world feels unsteady.
“I have been crucified with Christ…” —Galatians 2:20
So I don’t need to carry the weight of proving myself or fixing the world.
Jesus is on the throne—and that’s more than enough.
Sugar Bear and children of God remember:
Peace isn’t the absence of trouble—it’s the presence of the One who reigns over it..
God bless you and this ministry!
