Music impacts our mood in significant ways, so we seek different songs for different reasons. Sometimes even to give us sanctuary. For Day 4 of the #BlackMusicMonthChallenge, share the most peaceful song you've ever heard. **Today's prompt was submitted by congregation member Joannie Hayes.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

You ever hear a song or watch a video and wish you could have experienced it in context? Music can act as a time portal, even making us nostalgic for a time we didn’t even know. For Day 3 of the #BlackMusicMonthChallenge share a song that makes you wish you were born in a different era.

Some songs hit your spirit in such a real way that they feel like gospel - even if it's hood gospel. For Day 2 of the #BlackMusicMonthChallenge, share the song(s) that are basically negro spirituals for you.

It has taken me a long, long time to accept that people who profess to care about you are supposed to share your joy and not just your sorrows. When they don’t mirror your ups they are actually relishing your downs.

One might have thought that last November, when Missourians voted to enshrine “reproductive freedom" in the state constitution, that would have been the end of the conversation. Alas, the Missouri Supreme Court doesn’t seem to be inclined to listen. This week, the court halted abortions.

On average, 300 Americans are still dying each week from COVID19. A major part of the reason is that they are not vaccinated. Another is they’ve been led to believe that COVID19 isn’t serious and don’t seek care or test for it.
