So glad you read through what is a little longer than usual post, Jody! I hope anyone who reads will experience the reward of it. I think my native homeland’s history is quite fascinating! And there is so much I did not get to include for reason of length. Part two, soon, perhaps! Thanks for the feedback!

There is Jody, and this barely gets at it! Jamaica’s has a unique place in the Americas/ Caribbean, geographically, historically and most important, spiritually. There is always a battle on for her soul. Pray for the people of Jamaica, will you?!🇯🇲
