Some people seek advice and healing from a therapist, psychiatrist, or family members. Some may go to a gym, shop, or the movies to escape reality or deal with their problems. Some attend Sunday School for growth and encouragement. Whatever one needs for strength and healing, Sunday School is often recommended as a form of group therapy.
Pastor Treyvon Sinclair, Sr., will be discussing Forgiveness on Wednesday mornings and evenings, focusing on the life of Joseph.
Following the Industrial Revolution in Great Britain, machines enabled laborers to work more efficiently, reducing the need for manual labor. This change led to a rise in the labor movement. Workers endured 12-hour days and low wages. These harsh conditions led to activism. Aldermen Matthew Maguire, a machinist and union leader, and Peter McGuire, a labor organizer, advocated for Labor Day and the 8-hour workday. The following describes how their efforts led to greater recognition of workers.
THE PROCESS
In the 1870s, labor activist Matthew Maguire led several strikes to draw public attention to the long hours of manufacturing workers. By 1882, he had become secretary and a leading figure in the Central Labor Union of New York, where he organized and represented workers.
According to legend, Peter McGuire, a labor leader, stood before the New York Central Labor Union on May 12, 1882, and suggested setting aside one day each year to honor labor. He believed Labor Day should be celebrated with a street parade to publicly show the strength and unity of trade and labor organizations.
THE PLAN
Peter McGuire was a young and well-respected union leader. As a child of immigrants, he left school early to work. In 1881, he founded the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and served as its first general secretary, guiding the organization to become the largest trade union of its time. Later, he joined forces with his friend Samuel Gompers, a leading figure in the cigar makers’ union, to found the American Federation of Labor (AFL). Through his leadership roles in both the AFL and the Carpenters, McGuire led the major strikes of 1886 and 1890, bringing the eight-hour workday to national attention.
THE PRODUCT
Numerous states recognized the holiday in the 1880s. It did not become an official national holiday until President Grover Cleveland signed it into law in June 28th, 1894.
Commentary: Milwaukee, Racine, Kenosha, Chicago, and many other cities, join me in fasting and praying!

Fast & Pray
“Deliver me from my enemies, O God; protect me from those who rise up against me. Deliver me from evildoers and save me from bloodthirsty men.” Psalm 59.
I pray that Archangel Michael intervenes with his sword and brings Jamal back home safely. I ask that our Lord and Father, Jesus Christ, cause a fatal heart attack to the person or persons who took Jamal White, and that their death be immediate. I also pray that little Jamal White finds the courage and strength to dial 911.
Lord, you said, “We have not because we ask not!” As a family, we pray that you bring little Jamal White back to us unharmed. If those responsible do not perish from a heart attack, I pray that Jamal receives the strength to fight, grab the gun, and defend himself against the criminals and run from the captors and seek immediate help from a good Samaritan.”
When people are happy to see each other, introverts may greet you with a friendly smile, while extraverts might shake hands, give high-fives, hug multiple times, or even offer a friendly kiss on the cheek to express their love, friendship, and appreciation. These types of affirmations are considered expressions of Agape Love (unconditional love) and Philia Love (friendship).
Another type of love that Plies World depicts in his video with Jamie Foxx and The-Dream is Eros, which represents the love between a husband and wife or a boyfriend and girlfriend. This love is more than friendship; it encompasses romantic feelings.

If someone is giving you a ride home and they are not the “love of your life,” and their hands start to touch your leg, you can assertively say, “This leg does not need a massage!” If their hands touch your shoulder, tell them, “Don’t touch me,” inquire about their wife, and they should stop immediately. This way, you can arrive at your destination safely.
However, if the unwanted touches persist and lead to a dangerous situation, it’s essential to remember a lesson from the show Medium. In one episode, Allison warned a young teenager seven years before her abduction, rape, and murder:
“He looked a little older, but he seemed harmless at first when you were bending over to tie your shoe. When he offers you a ride, refuse it, and if he won’t listen, FIGHT LIKE HELL.”
Ladies and gentlemen, it’s crucial to know how to defend yourself. In case of an emergency, if you can’t access your mace, learn self-defense techniques. Consider enrolling in a karate or judo class to equip yourself with the skills needed to protect yourself from imminent danger.
A Friendly Reminder from Pastor John Wesley McVicker, Sr.:
“Jesus can change your mind! A Testimony from the Tombs. Your circumstances may not change, but Jesus can transform your viewpoints and outlook. When you focus on Jesus, you can see hope in Christ.”

Announcements and Recognitions from Pastor John Wesley McVicker, Sr.
“Out of 365, this is your one day! All day! Milk it because it’s going to be over when the clock strikes 12:01,” said Pastor John Wesley McVicker, Sr.
“I’m glad to see my friend, the top cop of our county, Sheriff, Denita Ball is here this morning, thank you for being here with us this morning. Thank you for worshipping with us today.”
“Dr. Jacqueline Howell transitioned from Labor to Rest. Suppose you’re at least my age or a few years younger and have children. She was our pediatrician.
Two doctors took care of us, Dr. Windon Pen Lacy, who was the obstetrician, after he caught them and handed them off to Dr. Jacqueline Howell. 94 years young. Thank God for her,” added Pastor McVicker.
“No longer was anyone able to dictate his steps. Even with a chain, no one was able to bind him anymore. Ordinances, laws created to prevent him from being the man he was supposed to be,” added Pastor McVicker.
“He stood up against the status quo and reclaimed The systems targeted him, but the No one was able to subdue him. Repeatedly chains and shackles, tools, Repeatedly those tools were implemented but he overcame them,” Verse 4, added Pastor McVicker.
“Every mechanism to restrict and restrain him failed. Fought against legalized controls, the tombs became his assigned place. “No law, policy, or practice could kill this man’s dreams and desires for freedom.”
“The caveat was although he moved beyond those impediments, the mental anguish provoked outbursts and expressions of deep-seated pain and distress.”
“Constantly Night and day, he was screaming in the tombs and mountains and gashing himself with stones”
“Not just this man, if assigned to the tombs long enough can and will engage in self-destructive behavior because of being emotionally and psychologically emasculated by those who could exert power over his life.”
“His coping mechanism to be assigned a lot in life resulted in normalized antisocial and self-destructive behavior.”
“Life in the tomb is a daily reminder that no one cares about your welfare, humanity.”
This man was being dominated and controlled by voices that refused to grant him freedom of choice and mind. Trying to convince him that life in the tombs became his fate.
JESUS wanted the man to tune out those voices so he could live his life unfettered from his past. This man had been resistant to every system.”
The scene above is not the specific scene that reminded me of Christine, but it’s a healthy show that promotes parental love relationships with their children.
Yesterday’s episode from Medium reminded me of my late and dearest friend, Christine Pham-Banh of Milwaukee. We worked together on Summerfest Grounds at Wongs Wok. She truly had a giving spirit per the article on https://chippewa.com. I never asked her for anything, yet she always brought me popcorn nightly after our shift. I still miss her lovely spirit! She’s the only reason I stopped working at Summerfest’s Wong’s Wok-my first Summerfest job! I still had other friends there, but Christine was my ride and die. Her sudden death at her family restaurant was extremely shocking and unbearable. At her funeral, her Mom put everything she wanted for Christmas in her coffin: her new tennis shoes, CDs, and more. In their religion, she will use them in the afterlife. I pray that I will see her again one day in the first, second, or third Heaven. May her sweet Soul Rest in Peace.
Parents: Do you know where your children are? Parents, what are your goals for your children this summer? Your guidance and involvement are crucial and influential in shaping their experiences and ensuring their safety.
VISION
INDICTMENT
There have been more than one occasion when I rode the Milwaukee County Transit System, and a young female was trying to get on the right bus to go to her boyfriend’s house. The females were always disoriented and asked the driver for directions. Some continued to engage on the telephone to let him know their present location on the bus.
Just as a driver needs a license to drive, a smoker needs a license or ID to purchase cigarettes, and a drinker needs a license to buy alcoholic beverages, young people also need a ‘license’ to engage in sexual relations. With sex, there are other factors like teenage pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, condom breaking, and more! In order not to experience all that grief in middle and high school, here are some tips to help youth become Victorious in Life!
Avoid consuming alcohol, but I think you understand the message!
VICTORIOUS TIPS on LOVE
Girls, NEVER, EVER go to the boys’ house. If your parents are home, he should try to go to your house!
Let’s talk about the house! If your child is dating, encourage them to avoid being alone at home. Instead, suggest public places like the movies or museum, the park, playing basketball, riding bikes, going to a concert on Summerfest grounds, or walking around the beach. By creating a safe and open environment, you’re reducing the risk of temptation or sin. If your child’s partner is coming over and you’re at home, it’s crucial to maintain a visible presence. Stay in a visible area like the kitchen and make cookies or a cake. Cook dinner together and then watch a movie in the living room. By being present, you’re ensuring a respectful and responsible visit. Remember, no boy should be in the daughter’s bedroom. He should leave early before curfew, following the no overnight guests rule!

According to the A.L. Overview, the modern American version of Mother’s Day was founded by Anna Jarvis, a social activist. Her pivotal role began with a memorial service for her mother in 1907, sparking a movement that led to the day becoming a national holiday. President Wilson’s official recognition in 1914, declaring the second Sunday in May Mother’s Day, marked a significant historical moment that all continue to celebrate today.
From coast to coast, families are coming together to celebrate the women who have shaped their lives. Whether a mom is young or old, near or far, or even if she became a mother through adoption or other means, her influence is undeniable. Mother’s Day is a time to reflect on the lessons learned and the love shared, regardless of the circumstances, and celebrate motherhood’s diverse forms.
