Journal Entry: Fleming J Ivory-01/18/2025-A Time For Freedom Moment of Power

Journal Entry

2 Corinthians 3:17
“The Lord is that Spirit. And where the Spirit of
The Lord is, there is liberty.”

Today, many men are celebrating being pardoned, here at Texarkana FCI and other
facilities within the BOP. It’s a great day for freedom.
Michael Santos, Brian Stephenson and other great advocates have fought for years, decades even to see this day for “others.” Let’s celebrate with them and give praise to the Lord of Freedom, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
I lived in Detroit from 1989 to 2001. Often, I noticed the spirit of Detroit statue and this powerful scripture inscribed at it’s base. 2 Corinthians 3:17.

It’s encouraging to know that our nation is moving in the direction of redemption and
not perpetuating servitude without solutions.

As we also celebrate the life and legacy of Dr.. Martin Luther King, Jr.,
let’s remember, freedom is never free. I had the opportunity to host his daughter, the late Reverend Dr. Yolanda King in Detroit. She talked to me and my former wife at dinner about how passionate Dr. King was about ALL people being free.
So, let’s enjoy the freedom of others and ourselves.
