go, let God' more difficult than it sounds
By
Deacon Robert A. Baker, Sr.
These four words are so easy to say but so difficult to practice.
We live in a society where we are judged by what we own, our
financial status and the amount of influence we have over
others.
The so-called “little people” get no respect and
often go about their lives unnoticed. I’m one of those
“little people” and proud of it. I have experienced
a time in my life when I was not a member of the “little
people” but a member of “society.”
