Is it time for you to get really serious about your next steps, and I mean steps that will definitely change your life. The reason many of us keep getting the same things is because we keep doing the same things. It is a law, but when you really want to get to the next level, make your goal clear, write it down.

Read Habakkuk 2:2-3 (KJV), which says, "Write the vision and make it plain. And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry."

James 4:2 (KJV) says, "Ye have not, because ye ask not." This is a very popular scripture to quote — especially when you are praying and believing God for something in your life. Jesus instructs us to "ask" in many places throughout Scripture, so it makes sense that if you don't have something, it could be because you didn't ask for it.

Does this mean that God will give me whatever I ask for? Is that what James really means here, or is there more to the story? Well, there is, and that's what we're going to look into. Let's take a closer look at motives as we explore the scriptural idea that you "have not" because you "ask not."

James 4:1-3 says, "What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you? You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures."

Looking closely at having not because of asking not reveals that the problem is not really in the asking. The problem is in the reason why you are asking.

James identifies some of these wrong motives, but the ultimate desire that drives all the others is the burning desire to get something you do not have. This is known as coveting. To covet is to be jealous of something that someone else has, or to possess a strong eagerness to get something that does not belong to you.

Keep being sincere, think of others first. You can't use people just so you can get what you want, then kick them to the curb, like we see some politicians doing. Do you feel when you see others around you being blessed that it seems like God is passing you by? Do you rejoice in the blessing of others or do you despise them? When someone shares about how God has blessed them, do you feel the need to try to trump their blessing with one of your own? God knows who you are, and He know if you are happy for others. Work on yourself!

When someone gets a new job, promotion, new house, new car or any myriad of material blessings, do you find yourself being excited for them, or envious of them instead?

If you do, then be careful, because the "covet monster" could be stirring inside you. So the next time someone shares what God is doing in their lives, rejoice with them! The Bible says we should rejoice with those who rejoice. WI

Deo volente The first step taken at the convention of the delegates of the Indian Chiefs held at Ottawa on June 7th, 1944, in the Y.M.C.A. building, was to elect an acting President; therefore, James Fox was chosen. The acting President asked the convention leader to take the floor and explain the rules and regulations that constitute the fundamental basis of the legal Constitution. The leader of the convention, Jules Sioui, submitted the following explanations: 1. At the opening of every great meeting, the acting President shall call upon the Supreme Chief of the Nations, enjoining him to say a prayer to the Great Spirit of above, petitioning His aid in favor of the Indian Nations of North America. 2. The Authorities of the League of the Indian Nations of North America shall take all the necessary measures to ensure that every Indian shall back the Royal Proclamation of 1763, which was signed in favor of the Indian Nations and for its best interest. 3. The Authorities of the League of Indian Nations of North America shall be guarantors of the integral respect of the legal rights. They will inform the members of the Nations of their full liberties and their independence all over America. 4. The Authorities of the League of Indian Nations of North America shall be guarantors of the integral respect of the legal rights. To make it known that the Indian Nation is a Nation with the right to exist on the same footing as any other nation worldwide. 5. The Authorities of the League of Indian Nations of North America shall be guarantors of the integral respect of the legal rights. They shall endeavor to have all the treaties that were passed, respected, and recognized to guarantee the liberty and independence of the Indian Nations of North America. 6. The Authorities of the League of Indian Nations of North America shall be guarantors of the integral respect of the legal rights. They shall make the Nation members understand that they are obliged to obtain an identification card so that they will be recognized as Indians belonging to a given NATION, consequently having the right to all the protection and privileges that accrue to those possessing the rights of the legal Constitution. 7. The Authorities of the League of Indian Nations of North America shall be guarantors of the integral respect of the legal rights. They shall have the power to negotiate with His Majesty's government, at Ottawa, regarding the natural resources in so far as the interests of the Indian Nations are concerned. 8. The Authorities of the League of Indian Nations of North America shall be guarantors of the integral respect of the legal rights. They shall never declare war against any other nation nor participate in any war, no matter who is at war. 9. The Authorities of the League of Indian Nations of North America shall be guarantors of the integral respect of the legal rights. They shall make it known that no white man has the right to live on Indian land unless he has first obtained a permit issued by the League's Authorities, which means that each nation must have an official plan to the limits of land. 10. The Authorities of the League of Indian Nations of North America shall be guarantors of the integral respect of the legal rights. They shall see to it that the Indians be given the privileges of hunting, fishing, and trapping there where game is to be found (i.e., fur-bearing animals) without expecting any territory, and with the distinct understanding that neither the provincial nor federal authorities shall have the right to stop them nor prosecute them, as long as the Indian avails himself of his rights for his personal needs or those of the nation. 11. The Authorities of the League of Indian Nations of North America shall be guarantors of the integral respect of the legal rights. According to the nation, they shall retain the right to have school Masters who can teach the national language. The study of the nation's history shall be obligatory, which will permit the children of the future generations to study and better know their race, the people, and their country, and be in a better spirit to obey the nation's authorities. 12. The Authorities of the League of Indian Nations of North America shall be guarantors of the integral respect of the legal rights. They shall explain to the entire nation that June 5th of each year is to be considered a national feast all over North America, that is to say by each nation, and this will enable each one to have a holiday; consequently, those who work on salary shall lose no pay. This will permit future generations to rejoice in being members of the Indian Nations and proud of their nationality and ideals. Signed Supreme Chief: Jim Horton Assistant: John Tootoosis Secretary of the League: Jules Sioui

1. In order to obtain a sound administration, it is necessary to have good chiefs and to have good chiefs. It is necessary to rely upon sound legislation based on equality, charity, and a charter of honesty, and a spirit of justice. 2. The nation's authorities must teach and explain to their people all the rights that the Royal Proclamation of 1763 confers. Under this Proclamation, the Indian Nation is entitled to its neutrality and independence. Furthermore, more than any other Nation, it enjoys a right to protection. 3. Each member of the Indian Nation, man, woman, and child, must realize that a nation cannot exist without a government, and government cannot administer the affairs of the country and its people without enacting laws so that the people may know what to do to obtain peace in their society. To instill a good moral in the people, each member must fully respect the law that governs them with a view to the success of each and all without distinction. 4. The authorities shall be responsible for extending their power in every domain, consistent with their rights, not for infringing dishonesty elsewhere, but to regain what belongs to the nation. 5. The authorities shall see to it that the legal Constitution be submitted to and observed by all the other governments, foreign as well as this on the continent and those included in North America so that it be assured that our people shall be able to circulate in all security protected by the respect of the Indian Nation's rights. 6. The authorities shall issue a proclamation obliging each member to his identification card to be well known and admitted to the ranks if he desires to benefit by the rights and privileges of the nation. Suppose that an Indian has to travel and that he falls suddenly sick, or meets with a serious accident, no matter if he is in a large city or small village, on his certificate will appear a special number that will enable the officials of the locality, to report to Headquarters of the registers of the Nations, so that he has given the necessary care to the Indian carrying the number so and so. All the privileges and rights will be printed on the back of the certificate, which will also carry a photograph of the Indian and will bear the nation's seal, the whole being included on a specially adapted envelope. 7. The authorities shall assume the duty of collecting all the articles manufactured by the Indians and will look after the marketing of same among other Nations and their governments, which will enable the stabilizing of the interchange of trade and commerce, and the creating of a market for the sale to the products of the Indian craftsman and have the effect of encouraging him in his work. The authorities shall see to it the timber and other material needed for the production of Indian goods be reserved exclusively for the benefit of the Indians, thus allowing them to attain a higher standard of living. 8. The authorities shall take the necessary measures to make it known to all the other nations that the Indian Nation never wanted war, never tried to start a war with any other nation, and never desired anything but peace. The authorities shall resolve to always appeal to the good judgment of the human being because the only way to achieve success and justice is by acting friendly. 9. The authorities shall realize that the vast countries presently occupied by strangers were never sold or ceded by the Indians but were occupied by armed strength.

There is perhaps no bigger advocate for the mammogram van than Vicky Russell-Walton. The twotime breast cancer survivor who also spoke at Monday's event has dreams of mammogram vans being as widespread as gas stations are around the country.

About 15 years ago, Russell-Walton was close to becoming a statistic. Despite having all the symptoms of breast cancer, she was misdiagnosed four times and found her pleas for further evaluation ignored by her doctor. "Last time I spoke to my doctor when I was misdiagnosed, he told me that I was interrupting his golf game and to stop calling. 'You're fine,' he said. 'Stop calling me. There's no reason for you to call me,' And so I had to fight," Russell-Walton recalled. "Thank God I listened to my body."

Now, she educates others about the importance of self-advocacy and is passionate about making breast cancer health care more equitable. When barriers to access are lowered or removed, she preaches, lives are saved. "Women are afraid to go to the doctors often times or they don't have transportation, or they don't have childcare…you pull that baby [the van] up in front of the community and say, 'Hey, I don't care what kind of insurance you have. Come and get your girls checked out,' and they will come," Russell-Walton said.

world.'"

How many places of worship are still doing this for all of their children today? How many of us as congregation or community members have found ways to commit to the community's children and to promise them that we'll be concerned when they are sick, cheer when they succeed in school, and help them become what they were divinely created to be?

Rev. Forbes also reminded us that in his own faith tradition God can't stand hearing the cry of oppression, and when God's people cried out in the Bible, God sometimes sent a deliverer who came as a baby. In order for that child to become what God had in mind, the baby first needed to be protected by adults while still in the cradle. Moses was sheltered in a cradle made of reeds. Christians celebrate a Deliverer who was cradled in a manger. Children are being born all around us in circumstances that cry out for protection today. Will we provide them cradles of safety? Will we put them on our Cradle Roll? The Children's Sabbath weekend is another opportunity for people of every faith tradition to respond to the divine mandate to nurture, protect and advocate for all of our communities' and nation's children.

fused to back down. They have dug out evidence and presented it to the American people.

Without the committee's investigations, we would know far less about the effort by Trump and his henchmen to overturn the election. Without the committee's truth-telling, there would be no hope for holding them accountable.

The threat to democracy is real. Conspiracy theories are helping drive a right-wing turn away from democratic values and toward repressive authoritarian rule.

At this moment, Americans face a choice: do we go back to the worst of the past, to voter suppression and political violence fueled by racism? Or do we move forward, building on the progress we have made in becoming a multiracial, multiethnic, multireligious democratic society?

It's up to us. As Jamie Raskin reminded us, "Democracy is always unfinished." WI

Children are being born all around us in circumstances that cry out for protection today. Will we provide them cradles of safety?

The list is long of tools that nearly control every aspect of our daily living, things formerly incarcerated people have to relearn to participate fully in society. Adjusting to unknown situations creates frustrations, irritations, and feelings of isolation. Many feel ignorant, as they are being laughed at or stared at.

Additionally, very few have any surviving family. If they have surviving relatives, they can’t live in the same home if someone has a criminal record. The last alternative is to go to a shelter.

How can we reduce the fears of decades-long incarceration upon reentry into society? If the military recognizes the need for PSTD counseling after tours of duty in combat zones, why can’t men and women who’ve experienced decades of incarceration in violent environments also receive services?

Releasing them without any services to address their “PISS” (Post Incarceration Stress Syndrome) is akin to releasing them in downtown Hong Kong, leaving them on the sidewalk, and telling them to figure it out and have a nice life. Where do you go for help? What do you do?

When neighborhoods and entire communities have changed, their roots are destroyed. They’re lost, helpless and homeless in the city they were born and raised in. Countless cultural, social, economic, technological, and psychological hurdles must be overcome. Then there’s the bureaucracy of red tape, which has contributed to “penalcide,” a term used to describe when one commits another crime to return to where they feel safe and secure. Or worse, suicide.

I’ve been highlighting the plight and challenges of men and women returning from prison after enduring lengthy sentences on our weekly radio show, Cross Roads, on WPFWFM.org, 89.3 FM. And I’ve been advocating for transitional housing to keep them from becoming homeless and destitute.

This is a public safety issue. These men and women can and should be able to live out their remaining years after decades of trauma with some degree of peace, and if they are able and willing, they too can contribute to society by helping to reduce violence and crime.

They need our help. WI

It is tempting to say that Tuberville, a former football coach, too often played his sport without a helmet. Was the entire Republican Party engaging in the same foolhardiness? Where are the Republicans of conscience (if any) calling Tuberville on his foolishness?

In contrast, President Biden, perhaps risking some Latinx support, swiftly called Nury on her racism. As Biden's press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, said, "Here is the difference between Democrats and Republicans. When a Democrat says something racist or antisemitic, we hold Democrats accountable. When a MAGA Republican says something racist and or antisemitic, they are embraced by cheering crowds and become celebrated and sought after."

One of the ways we combat global anti-Blackness is to name it, then claim it, then dismantle it. Too many white allies are reluctant to discuss anti-Blackness, much less work to dismantle it. Too many squirm when anti-Black racism is mentioned. It's too much for some to discuss in "polite society" but not too much to practice.

One of the most uncomfortable conversations comes when our "allies," the Latinx folks eager to tout "Black and brown" coalitions when it strengthens their base are far less willing to combat the cracks in the foundation of the base. Our Latinx allies must — and some have —condemn folks like Nury, whose spoken anti-Blackness (she called a Black child a monkey!) is only dwarfed by the things they do, not just the things they say.

Global anti-Blackness stops when people of conscience, regardless of political party, call people out. Until then, the Nurys of the world, whether in elective office or not, win because Hydra's head will multiply unless it is burned off. WI

is to throw people out of work. It particularly doesn't make sense because the primary causes of the inflation aren't rising wages, as even the Fed chair admits. The primary causes are the rapid Covid recovery, which led to supply chain snaggles, the Ukraine war and sanctions on Russia (on top of those on Iran and Venezuela), which hit oil and food prices directly, and of course, the ability of companies like the drug companies in concentrated industries to raise prices no matter what.

Nothing that the Fed will do will address these problems of supply. So instead, it sets out to cause some "pain" for working families to reduce their ability to support themselves. Not surprisingly, this pain is not inflicted on Wall Street, on the bankers or felt much by the wealthy.

When what the FBI called an "epidemic of fraud" by the banks blew up the economy in 2008, the Fed threw literally trillions into saving the banks. The banks got bailed out from the calamity they created. Now working families get hurt from rising prices that they didn't cause.

It's time to call out this tilted playing field. The Fed shouldn't get a pass. Its policies — and its biases — should be challenged. And it's time for a real program to address today's inflation that will help keep the economy going and people working. It may be too late to stop the recession that the Fed is already cooking — but we shouldn't come out of that without demanding a new deal.

wholly on hatred for Catholic immigrants.

Post-Civil War, explicitly anti-Black racism emerged as a primary issue in national elections. "Exaggerated stories of Black crime" and accusations of "miscegenation" were hallmarks of the 1868 campaign. "Fear of Blacks and the need to maintain white power was a dominant, primary theme, not a subtext," political scientist Tali Mendelberg wrote in "The Race Card: Campaign Strategy, Implicit Messages, and the Norm of Equality."

As late as 1968, presidential candidate George Wallace, the former governor of Alabama, campaigned in favor of racial segregation. By 1980, however, overt racial appeals had given way to coded rhetoric such as the "welfare queen" stereotype employed by Ronald Reagan. "Any way you look at it, race is coming on the back-burner," political strategist Lee Atwater said in

Race-baiting politicians like Tuberville and Greene are putting it back on the front burner. It's up to their colleagues to extinguish the flames.
