This afternoon, we listened on the radio to the entire "home-going" service for George Floyd, broadcast from Fountain of Praise Church, Houston, TX. It was powerful and inspiring. We loved the choir rendition of Richard Smallwood's Total Praise, at the beginning as people were gathering. We learned it from Kathy Bullock years ago. There was some great black preaching - especially Rev. Al Sharpton, who just let loose without restraint. There is nothing like that in the white churches, more's the pity. I wish everyone in the country could hear this service!
If my life had a fraction of the impact for good on the world that George Floyd's life and death have already had, I would be happy.
