Oh, that God would mold this clay, nothing but dust, dirt and decay! And yet, in me, He saw some worth; He sent his Son, from Heaven to Earth. To lay down his life, upon the cross, to thirst, and bleed, and suffer loss. And so for me, His Glory awaits; one day I’ll…

You Are a Masterpiece
My morning devotional, that I try to consume every day with a cup of coffee, told me, “We can live by the truth of God’s word and not by the way we feel.” I grew up with low self esteem. I never felt good enough. As a child, I didn’t understand this to be a lack of self worth, rather it was…
More Than a Conqueror
For the past week I’ve lived a defeated life. I’ve lived as though my fears had come to fruition, and those things I dreaded the most, had arrived and taken their abode in my life. In truth, I had surrendered, even before the battle had begun. Yesterday, a friend sent this text, “in all these things we are…
The Day I Floated
Today’s word, float, reminded me of when I truly put my trust in Jesus. I was sitting in a revival service, and the evangelist was teaching from the text of, II Kings 6:5-7. I listened as scripture was read and this is what I heard that night: But it happened that as one was cutting down…
Confident and Full of Hope
Good day, dear friends! Here we are at close of another year. We’ve run, walked, and sometimes crawled these past 365 days. Now we find ourselves tying the bow, on the box we call 2016, but before we put the box upon the shelf, may we take a moment to ask the question: What has…
The Shoe’s the Same
Hello friends, I hope this day finds you well. I have to be honest, I’m feeling disappointed. Yes, I knew it was a long shot, but I still held out hope. Yesterday, the Electoral College made it official. Donald J Trump will become the 45th president of these United States on January 20, 2017. I have to…
Hey America, You Get What You Vote For!
“90 Percent of Teachers Say Trump’s Win Has Had a Negative Effect in Classrooms.” Hello friends, I read an article while having a morning cup of coffee, and I have to say my gut did the death roll. The article, written by Claire Landsbaum of NYMAG.com, spells out the ugly truth, of just how Trump’s win, has negatively impacted America’s children. Landsbaum…
Silence, the coward’s stamp of approval upon the wrong they choose to ignore.
“First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a…
Vomiting All Over Facebook
I was told, by a family member, in a round about way, through social media, that all respect for me was lost. Gone… No, no names were used, but I knew…sometimes…you just know. Why did they lose respect? Because I used words like “Fuck,” “God Damn,” “Go to Hell,” in response to, what I believe…
Road Trip to Maine: Day 4
Is it just me, or does everyone have a “go-to-swear-word?” You know, the word that spews out so easily, during the stubbing of a toe or a barefoot walk over scattered Lego’s. Yeah…that word… Even when I only “Christian-cussed,” I had my go to word. It was: “Sweet Hallelujahs!” AND believe me, it never came out reverently… Unfortunately,…
