The Bible asks us to honor and love our mothers. It says so in Exodus 20:12, “Honor your father and your mother,” and Leviticus 19:3, “Every one of you shall revere his mother and his father.”Proverbs 31:25-28 further describes a virtuous woman: “Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come.

Bahamas Prime Minister Philip E. Davismeets with Pope Francis on Oct. 14. (Courtesyphoto) In my tribute to Jorge Mario Bergoglio, aka Pope Francis, who recently died leaving behind a legacy of remarkable humility and modest means, I’d like to share some background worth noting with the world.

2 months ago | washingtoninformer.com | Lyndia Grant

The lyrics from the 1960s song “Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay” were co-written by Otis Redding and guitarist Steve Cropper. That song kept ringing in my spirit last week. Always, when I hear clear messages in my spirit, I can assure you, it is the Lord leading and guiding me to my article for the week. Let’s talk about how so many have sat around, just watching the tide roll in and out, wasting time. Nothing planned, nothing changing, just watching the tides roll in and out, wasting time.
