His name was Chris and he was a runner… away from home and into trouble. I was in charge of mentoring him and defending him in Foster Court. I had mentored many young men in my life so I knew what to do. To brighten his future and give him hope for tomorrow. He needed…
The year was 1953. People had overcome the depression and everyone trusted the government… the church… and the leaders of that time. The news reported what was happening and people believed what they saw and heard. The year is 2026 and things have changed. Recent studies show that in 1953, 89% of the people trusted…
As I stood in Memphis, in the place he was shot… tears came uncontrollably. I looked down only to see the blood stains that still litter the concrete. Dr. King was killed for spreading love. Gandhi was killed for spreading love. Lincoln was killed for spreading love. The one that hurts the most… our Savior…

I have sat so many times in thought trying to imagine what is was like. The moment our Savior gave himself over to his father. So many things happened the moment Jesus died on the cross.
