In 1823, in a region that is now Benin, General Nanisca (Davis) leads a military regiment that serves at the pleasure of young King Ghezo (John Boyega). Her women and girls help protect the embattled kingdom of Dahomey from neighboring adversaries like the Oyo Empire, led by the murderous Oba Ade (Jimmy Odukoya) and from white Brazilian enslavers, commanded by Santo Ferreira (Hero Fiennes Tiffin). Their mission also includes freeing and releasing captured Africans headed for slave ships.

Therefore, the hymn “I Love to Tell the Story” is also a favorite of mine. It is a hymn that honors how essential repeating and passing on the Christian story is to the community. The joy that singing the hymn brings is gives testament to many proverbs about storytelling as a way to educate, involve, and humanize those in our communities. Storytelling is not entertainment. It makes the invisible visible, be it person, place, or thing, system of oppression or system of privilege. It ensures cultures will continue and values be passed on or cut off if need be. “I Love to Tell the Story” engages and helps people know our Christian story. Our United Church of Christ (UCC) Labor

We all have hymns that we love to sing: “Blessed Assurance,” “Great is Thy Faithfulness,” “We’ve Come This Far by Faith,” “All Hail the Power of Jesus Name,” “What a Friend We Have in Jesus,” and so many more. I can remember singing them when I was little holding the big red hymnal. Now the songs are etched in my mind such that I can sing them without looking at books or screens. At first, it was because of regular Sunday worship attendance and memorization through repetition. However, having lived and been through some trials, joys, and pains, the words are now etched in my spirit. They remind me that I am not alone. The community of Christ holds these hymns dear and our collective spirits are encouraged by them as we walk the journey of life.

You always resist the Holy Spirit. As your fathers did, so do you. [Acts 7:51]. Woe unto thee, Chorazin! Woe unto thee, Bethsaida!

You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell? [Matthew 23:33] … “where the fire never goes out; where the worms do not die, and where you will be tormented with burning sulfur and the smoke of your torment will rise forever and ever.” [Mark 9:43-48]. Avoid hell at all costs you stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears. For I am shaking all that can be shaken. And what is still to come is too dreadful to think about. Wake up! It is past midnight, and My coming has drawn near. Stir yourself and don’t be slothful. Your salvation is nearer now than when you first believed. [Romans 13:11-12].

Lupus is an autoimmune disease that can affect almost any organ or body part and lasts for a long time. Your immune system attacks healthy cells, which causes pain, swelling, and damage. The Lupus Foundation of America says that about 5 million people worldwide have lupus, and women are nine times more likely than men to get it. Symptoms may come and go, which makes it hard to figure out what’s wrong. You may have flareups and then get better.
Pleuritis, pneumonitis, chronic diffuse interstitial lung disease, and pulmonary emboli are some of the most common lung problems that are linked to lupus (blood clots that block the arteries leading to the lungs). Pleuritis discomfort affects 40-60 percent of lupus patients.
