Monday Whatevers
February 21, 2022
Hello, Friend!
It’s Monday, so… inspired by on one of my favorite bits of the Bible, let’s start every week off with a little bit of whatever’s good and noble in the world. Here are a few excellent and noteworthy things I’m seeing in the world right now. Some are beautiful, promising, and reassuring. Some are poignant, thought-provoking, and necessary. All of them add to a greater knowing of God’s presence in this world, within our humanity, and out in the great beyond. And, they all prove there’s an abundance of spectacular, breathtaking tangible and intangible cosmic matter between us.
Please feel free to share in the comments whatever is good that you’re seeing in the world as well.
Blessings,
Marcie
Throughout February, I’ve celebrated Black History Month by sharing Black culture and stories that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, gracious, excellent, and worthy of praise. For our last week of commemoration, I’d like to turn the silver screen and give tribute to the history of Black Hollywood.
Happy Viewing!
