"When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn." proverbs 29 verse 2.

It's been a great day to rejoice hasn't it !!!

10. There's something so beautiful in the Stewards of the Beloved Community coming to this place at

this time and offering their longstanding work for that Community, through a half-Black half-White President and his sweet family, to a troubled people and a nation that sinned so profoundly against their ancestors.

This is healing.

I can read us chapter and verse about what went wrong with "Christianity" and I will never lie about that stuff, but the facts pictured here validate what is also right with it and in my universe, whatever else a God would be, s/he would be found in ALL truths.

Thanks very much for the pics, Cha! Bookmarking.

Love Christin King Farris' hat!
