COMMENTARY: Sgili Season
So, one of the things my staff has told me about our offices is that we have a ghost. No foolin’. They tell me that there was an apparition that sometimes stood at or near the door of my office.
SPEAKING OF FAITH: Great Cloud of Witnesses by Faith
Moses was sent to a world leader. He was a stutterer, sent to do one thing, and that was to speak to Pharaoh of Egypt. One does not send a stutterer to a world leader to make a speech, but that is what God does.
COMMENTARY: Be an influencer.
There are those of us who are gung-ho about exercising our rights, especially the right to vote, to the fullest. Especially when it comes to tribal elections, because in the EBCI (Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians) Charter & Governing Document, civil rights are almost non-existent.
