The United States of America is moving toward 250 years of existence on July 4, 2026. Over the time of its ‘official’ existence as a nation founded on the principles of “liberty and justice for all”, the country has been challenged by some who while proudly touting its history as a democracy believe that it would be a greater nation if it limited the number of foreign people entering to set up permanent residence and changed the belief that everyone should have equal opportunities.

Reflection is a natural phenomenon. The music of the church has always been a vehicle for my reflection. As I march toward the title of ‘octogenarian,’ I have more time to reflect about God’s influence in and on my life. Dottie Rambo wrote “He looked beyond my fault and saw my need.” It is human to want the best things of and from life; however, upon reflection, our wants are not necessarily our needs.

“I do not trust their word. I do not trust their intent,” declared the Rev. William Lamar, pastor of Metropolitan AME Church. “We [Black clergy] would be foolish to believe this is being done on behalf of all of us. They will find a way to ensure that we are punished for using this policy the way they will use it. I’m watching and waiting, but I do not trust them because in the end, their policies have always been to place a stranglehold on power – judicially, legislatively, economically, and religiously.”
