SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY ABOUT YOU!
When you have overcome what has overwhelmed others, and which, by all that is commonly known, should have overwhelmed you; then, there is something extraordinary about you. When thrown into the lion's den of chattel slavery, you were not only not consumed, but you truly grew in number. When you were cast into the 7-times hotter fiery furnace of Jim Crow, castration, and legal lynching, you, through it all, multiplied! There is something extraordinary about you! When you have gone from being the bottom rail back to being the very top rail, there is something extraordinary about you! Better recognize what others do. Better recognize. Better recognize, my brothers an sisters that there is something extraordinary about you, in Jesus' name!
