Glory!  In 2026, the United States of America turns 250 years old. Two hundred and fifty years since a declaration was signed proclaiming liberty and equality. But anniversaries are not just celebrations. They are examinations. And if we are going to honor America at 250 with integrity, we must tell the whole story — not just nationally, but here in Texas, and here in Fort Worth.

MANSFIELD, TEXAS February 1, 2026 - In Selma , when you cross the historic Edmund Pettus Bridge , just to the left stands a memorial of twelve stones. They tell the story of Bloody Sunday — of brave souls who challenged segregation in 1965 and paid the price in blood, dignity, and determination. Inscribed upon those stones are the words of Joshua 4:21–22: “When your children shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What mean these stones?
