   As a 62-year-old “Single Senior Citizen,” I accepted the call to minister about the issues never-married and divorced folks face—a subject we rarely hear about. Maybe you’re reading this and thinking, “That’s not my problem.” But for us Followers of Christ (the FOCs—committed “Christians”), it’s a conversation we need to have. FOCs are folks who strive to honor God, have accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior, and actively work to live out what the Bible teaches. In other words, NO GAMES! We take James 1:22 (NIV) seriously: “Do not merely listen to the word and so deceive YOURSELVES. Do what it says.”

Head coach Sam Shade led Alabama A&M to a hard-fought victory over FAMU in Tallahassee, a formidable task. The winning coaches, Coach Berry of SCSU and Coach Shade, have both had a few years to establish their respective programs. Coach Quinn Gray is in his first year at Florida A&M, but I have no doubt that he will quickly right the Rattlers’ ship.

       What makes this machinery of erasure so dangerous is not only the harm it inflicts but the way it hides. Institutional indifference does not announce itself. It accumulates. It slumbers. It waits for the moment when its resurrection will be most convenient for those who profit from the lie. A dead lien can be made to breathe again if the affidavit that proves its death is folded into a box, pushed to a shelf, and left to gather dust.
