SOJOURNER TRUTH WAS BLESSED!
I feel a very special spiritual affinity with Sojourner Truth as I read her book NARRATIVE OF SOJOURNER TRUTH (1850, 2013) which she had dictated to Olive Gilbert, Ms. Truth having been illiterate, but astute!
In several places this sainted black woman's acuity is shown to be a gift of the Holy Spirit, which was revealed in her talks, speeches, rebukes and thought processes.
All too often, we hear or read merely her "Ain't I a Woman?" retort, to a heckler at her lecture; or her awesome interrogation of a then-despondent Frederick Douglass, whom she asked: "Is God dead, Frederick?" at the end of one of great Douglass's public, pre-Civil War abolitionist lectures. Her query was a lightening bolt!
So, too, is her book, a lightening bolt! of wisdom, which I am now reading in preference to viewing professional football on television this Thanksgiving Day 2017, temporarily, at least, to bless you!
