Before I go any further on this post, I want to acknowledge some Black men, women, and children whose lives have been snuffed out needlessly. These men and women were unarmed. My heart and my prayers go out to all families who are still grieving over their loss. God bless you all. I will get to the over 215,000 lost because of COVID-19 in another post.

May 29, 2020
