“Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.”
1 Peter 5:8-9 NIV
Stay Woke! That’s what being alert and of sober mind means. Some of y’all will clutch your pearls just reading this, but it’s a cultural reference, and I no longer apologize for being who God made me. Perfectly, flawlessly, Imago Dei.
Be mad about something else.
Lord, in your mercy hear our prayers
“Blacker the berry the sweeter the juice
Turning nothing into something is something we do
They wanna see us sing blues and die on the news
Pour some juice and scream from the roof…
Heavenly Father, thank you for the sun in the sky
And thank you for a reason for life
Thank you for the things they’ll never steal
Send me a sign to show me you’re real, you don’t know how this feels
Heavenly Father, excuse my rage
I don’t know why it is how it is but it’s how it has stayed”
