Christmas reminds us that God meets us right where we are. Jesus wasn’t born into comfort or perfection, He came into struggle, fear, and uncertainty, just like what many of us face today. When life feels overwhelming, remember this: God sees you, He’s with you, and He has a purpose for your life. Don’t give up. Your faith, your future, and your story still matter. Keep trusting God greater things are ahead.
That is not theory. That is our history. And that is exactly what happened again this month in Northwest Pompano Beach.
Norma J. Wright, better known as “Honey Bunch,” was born December 26th 1925 in Waynesboro, Ga. She grew up in Fort Lauderdale and later graduated in West Palm Beach from Industrial High School in 1943. After strong persuasion from her Aunt Elizabeth McCoy, her father Mose McCoy agreed to send her to Tuskegee Institute where she graduated in 1947, the first female of her family to graduate college. At Tuskegee, she walked the halls with airmen and studied in the George Washington Carver Science building with other historic figures. Her loving mother Lillie Bell Sapp was extremely proud of her and all the hard work it took to achieve such accomplishments.
It was a wonderful experience filled with joy, talent, and school spirit. The Rock Island Performing Arts Team did an outstanding job preparing the students, and the children delivered an amazing Christmas program that showcased their hard work, confidence, and creativity. The entire show was uplifting and beautifully executed, making it a night to remember for students, families, and staff.

Sometimes, we get so caught up in chasing what’s next that we forget what got us here. We forget the people who believed in us when we doubted ourselves, the ones who stayed up late helping us study, the mentors who gave us tough love, and the community that kept us grounded when we didn’t have much to stand on. Whether it’s a degree, a promotion, or a little more financial security, those wins can slowly make us forget that success doesn’t mean we’ve “made it”, it means we’ve been entrusted with a little more to give back.
Dr. John Johnson II in his book , already endorsed to become a “Best Seller,” is entitled, “DEMOCRACY: A HOUSE OF CARDS.” He exposes the fragility of our democratic systems in a divided America. He then delivers the message no one wants to hear, white supremacy isn’t democracy’s tragic flaw, it’s the weapon being used to kill it. This isn’t just another political autopsy; it’s a battle plan. He prescribes the “Nuclear Black Out/Boycott.” A strategy that hits power where it hurts: the wallet. Destroyers of democracy understand only one language, money. The perpetrators are named and the stakes are clear. The House of Cards is collapsing!
