Cannon’s, tasty food and

When the pressure of life
seems to boil over—and it does
for everyone—pastor and Gram-
my-winning musician Smokie
Norful has one piece of advice:
Take the lid off.
This concept was inspired by
watching his grandmother make
her signature dish of sweet rice.
When the heat got too high, the
pot began hissing and boiling
over, like it was about to explode.
His grandmother would remind
him the only way to avoid an
eruption is to remove the lid.
Similarly, he writes that the
only way to avoid an emotional
overload is to take our own lids
off—that is, to stop being trapped
inside ourselves and instead look
to God and his grace to show the
strategy for becoming all he in-
tends us to be.
This is the premise behind
Norful’s new book “Take the Lid
Off: Trust God, Release the Pres-
sure, and Find the Life He Wants
for You.” Norful is the the found-
er and pastor of Victory Cathe-
dral Worship Center, a large con-
gregation with three campuses in
the Chicago area.
Dreamers Abandoned

and split apart families.
“It goes against our Ameri-
can values and further divides
our nation,” Wyden said. “I
will be fighting tooth and nail
alongside my Senate colleagues
to preserve the ability of these
young people to continue to
contribute to our country. Con-
gress must come together and
work on comprehensive immi-
gration reform and a fair path
forward for Dreamers.”
Attorney General Jeff Ses-
sions outlined Trump’s deci-
sion Tuesday at a press confer-
ence at the Justice Department,
arguing that the program, cre-
ated by President Obama, was
unconstitutional and was an
executive branch overreach.
The acting secretary of the
Department of Homeland Se-
curity, Elaine Duke, issued a
memorandum later the same
day formally rescinding DACA
and phasing it out.
DHS is providing a six-
month window in which it
will adjudicate pending re-
quests and will give Congress
a chance to pass a legislative
alternative. As a result, the pro-
gram will end at different times
for different people, expiring
on a rolling basis.
