Until we are of one accord and centered on love toward our fellow humans, #justiceforbreonnataylor cannot be rendered. However, this is not an impossible task...justice...it is possible when the veil of fearful pride is lifted, and the gift of love is given... because #breonnataylorslifematters and so does yours. #blm

My prayer is for justice, a call to action that operates from the center of “sanctity of life”. May God so move the city of Louisville, the state of Kentucky and all of our self-declared “United” States of America... A house divided cannot stand. Surely, we can find a way to stand. Surely we can.
