October 16, 2023, HOUSTON, TX – Congressional Candidate Amanda Edwards has raised over $1 million in less than 4 months, a substantial sum that helps bolster the frontrunner status of the former At-Large Houston City Council Member in her bid for U.S. Congress. Edwards raised over $433,000 in Q3 of 2023. This strong Q3 report expands on a successful Q2 where Edwards announced just 11 days after declaring her candidacy that she had raised over $600,000. With over $829,000 in cash-on-hand at the end of the September 30th financial reporting period, Edwards proves again that she is the clear frontrunner in the race. “I am beyond grateful for the strong outpouring of support that will help me to win this race and serve the incredible people of the 18th Congressional District,” said Edwards. “We are at a critical juncture in our nation’s trajectory, and we need to send servant leaders to Congress who can deliver the results the community deserves. The strong support from our supporters will help us to cultivate an 18th Congressional District where everyone in it can thrive.” Edwards said. “Amanda understands the challenges that the hard-working folks of the 18th Congressional District face because she has never lost sight of who she is or where she comes from; she was born and raised right here in the 18th Congressional District of Houston,” said Kathryn McNiel, spokesperson for Edwards’ campaign. Edwards has been endorsed by Higher Heights PAC, Collective PAC, Krimson PAC, and the Brady PAC. She has also been supported by Beto O’Rourke, among many others.

As September 13th rolls around, we extend our warmest birthday wishes to the creative powerhouse, Tyler Perry, a man whose indomitable spirit and groundbreaking work have left an indelible mark on the world of entertainment. With his multifaceted talents as an actor, playwright, screenwriter, producer, and director, Tyler Perry has not only entertained but also inspired audiences worldwide, particularly within the African-American community, where his influence and role have been nothing short of powerful. Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1969, Tyler Perry’s journey to stardom was a path riddled with adversity. Raised in a turbulent household, he found refuge in writing, using it as a therapeutic outlet. This period of introspection gave rise to one of his most iconic creations, Madea, a vivacious, no-nonsense grandmother who would later become a beloved figure in Perry’s works, offering a unique blend of humor and profound life lessons. Despite facing numerous challenges, including rejection and financial struggles, Perry’s determination and unwavering belief in his abilities propelled him forward. In 1992, he staged his first play, “I Know I’ve Been Changed,” which, although met with limited success, was a pivotal moment in his career. Unfazed by initial setbacks, Perry continued to hone his craft, and by 1998, he had successfully produced a string of stage plays that showcased his storytelling prowess.

The right way is the only way
There is a way that seems right to individuals; but the end results bring about confusion and destruction, because the Right-Way is the only way. If this sounds like the GOP just say Amen, because seemingly their leadership objective is not rule by law and order, but by the barrel of guns and more guns. “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” There are consequences for violating both God’s and man’s laws. Man’s laws will imprison or kill you. God’s laws will justly judge the righteous, and He is angry with the wicked every day. America is experiencing some turbulent times, because she is going in the way of Cain: brothers killing brothers. Christian Right Evangelicals you need to get right with God, and get right with your neighbor, because your disobedience can create a Cain and Abel scenario.
Democratic Nation States collapse internally when they do not equally enforce laws regardless of creed, color or social class designations. Therefore, Christian Right Evangelicals, GOP, and Trump Loyalists: “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” GOP your way may seem right, and provide many options for your ungodly desires without sacrifices on your part escaping man’s law; but know this, you may escape man’s law but eventually you must confront God’s law(s): “It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:” The right way is the only way; especially in a multicultural society, because all of US must live by the golden rule in order to establish socio-economic harmony with each other. Laws are enacted to be universally obeyed. Laws are not particularistic.
Society begins and ends in family structure, and when family structures breakdown spiritually and socio-economically society breaks down. America is on the brink of experiencing the moral collapse of her democratic institutions, because of mass confusion and spiritual misunderstanding concerning where individual rights begin and end: “But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins,” The opportunity has come for America to embrace the right way, because it is the only way to endure to the end. Thus, America you must spiritually get right with God, because: “For He saith, I heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time: behold, now is the day of salvation.” (2 Corinthians 6: 2). America, let’s accept God’s spiritual invitation before it is too late!
