Keep playing, Mother Livingston—

your fingers knew heaven

long before your feet arrived.

Each key you touched told a story,

each chord carried a memory,

each hymn became a bridge

between earth and glory.




At 101 years young,

you didn’t fade—

you ascended.

A teacher by calling,

a pianist by anointing,

a storyteller by grace.

Carroll Peak heard your wisdom,

Shiloh felt your worship,

and Fort Worth knew your name

even when it didn’t know your depth.


You loved people—

really loved them—

with laughter in your voice

and truth in your eyes.

You talked of the old days

like they were still breathing,

and Clinton Street’s “hot end”

like it was yesterday’s news,

history alive on your tongue.


Sharp.

Smart.

Sassy.

Sanctified.


You lived life on your own terms,

never rushing the rhythm,

never apologizing for the melody God gave you.

You taught us that faith has a soundtrack

and joy has a tempo.


Now the bench is empty here,

but heaven is full.

The piano waits no longer—

the angels have moved over,

and the Lord has smiled and said,

“Keep playing.”


And just in case He comes

before we gather again,

we are not afraid—

for we know the song continues.

We will see you on the other shore,

where the music never ends,

the keys never break,

and the praise never grows old.


Until then, Mother Livingston—

keep playing.

NOT GUILTY IN TARRANT COUNTY! Joseph Delancy Stands Victorious with His Grandmother by His Side. Pastor Kyev Tatum, Sr.  https://www.star-telegram.com/news/local/crime/article301585229.html FORT WORTH, TEXAS - When the words “Not Guilty” rang through the courtroom, Shonette “Mama Shon” Hill felt the weight of the world lift from her shoulders. Her grandson, Joseph Delancy, had endured an unimaginable trial—accused of a crime he did not commit, fighting against a system determined to make him a scapegoat. But through it all, Mama Shon stood firm, unwavering in her belief in Joseph’s innocence. With the love only a grandmother can give, she had been his rock, his shield, his fiercest defender. When others turned away, she remained. When doubt crept in, she stood taller. And when the verdict came, she held Joseph close—her faith and love carrying him through the storm. This was not just a victory for Joseph. It was a testament to a grandmother’s unbreakable love. A FIGHT FOR JUSTICE, ...

Aunt Liz the Angel: A Champion for the Six Triple Eight. By Pastor Kyev Tatum, Texas 6888th Project.

Aunt Liz the Angel: A Champion for the Six Triple Eight. By Pastor Kyev Tatum, Founding Director, Texas 6888th Project. WASHINGTON, D.C. – On April 29, 2025, inside Emancipation Hall beneath the sacred shadow of the Capitol dome, the soul of America was stirred as our nation finally paused to say “thank you” to the women of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion. That day, wrapped in dignity and destiny, the Congressional Gold Medal was placed upon their legacy. And standing at the center of this divine moment, like a hidden angel sent for such a time as this, was none other than Retired Master Sergeant Elizabeth Anne Helm-Frazier—known across our community, and to the cast of the Tyler Perry film, simply and lovingly as Aunt Liz. Let me say it plain: Aunt Liz is God’s gift to the memory of the Six Triple Eight. When the final living members of the battalion took her in, they said something Master Sgt. never forget: “Liz can’t do no wrong in our book.” And I declare today—neithe...
