The Brown decision promised that every child regardless of the color of his or her skin would have unequivocal access to quality education and an equal opportunity to pursue his/her dreams.
I've never been bashful to say that I'm not really interested in Formula One. When I lived in England it's all I wanted to do and I thought that anything else would somehow be a compromise to my dreams. But then when I came back to the States I realised how much I loved being back in the States.
The dreams which reveal the supernatural are promises and messages that God sends us directly: they are nothing but His angels His ministering spirits who usually appear to us when we are in a great predicament.
