This week while reading about the events leading up to the crucifixion as recorded in Matthew 26, something interesting caught my attention. Jesus told Peter that he would deny Him later. Peter passionately disagreed – ‘Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you!” And all the disciples said the same. WhatContinue reading “Flawed and Chosen”

About Last Night
I think I slept with a smile on my face last night. It rained all night. No thunderstorms, no loud sounds or flashes of light. Just gentle falling rain- the kind that soothes my mind and relaxes my body. Last night was a good one! In peace I will both lie down and sleep, forContinue reading “About Last Night”
Those Interruptions
Have you noticed how impatient we’ve become as a society? Not only have we come to despise waiting but we have little tolerance for imperfection. Heaven forbid our packages don’t arrive when we expect them to, our service providers have some glitches, the repairman man is late or the meeting is delayed. Our response toContinue reading “Those Interruptions”
Now I Know
Over the past 30 plus days, I’ve struggled with some respiratory challenges. At the tail end of this journey, I got some relief these past few days- I haven’t coughed once. Without a doubt, I truly have a new appreciation for the gift of ‘breathing’ freely and independently. For over a month I’ve dealt with insomnia, lackContinue reading “Now I Know”
Assignment Completed!
I believe I was birthed for a purpose. My true desire is to discover and live out that purpose. When that has been accomplished – then my time here is finished. I have no taste for purposeless living. Personally, I echo this comforting scripture ‘ my life and my times are in His hands’. I declare thatContinue reading “Assignment Completed!”
Live Simple
Too often we complicate life. We engage in battles not meant for us to fight. Hold on to baggage that cause us to walk bent over. Rather than pursue healing, we keep open wounds that cause us ongoing pain. The emptiness in our soul leave us aching and searching for things that cannot satisfy. WeContinue reading “Live Simple”
Here and Now
I don’t know maybe it’s the 50 plus vibe – I find myself more focused on the here and now. I’ve lived long enough to recognize that my days are numbered. Somewhere along the way I found out that I can do nothing about the past. I can embrace the lessons learned especially from thoseContinue reading “Here and Now”
2023-Photobombed
Upon doing some research, I discovered the term ‘photobombing’ emerged somewhere in the early 2000s. It gained some momentum a few years later. One source describes it as the act of deliberately inserting oneself into the background of a photograph without the knowledge of those being captured. It is meant to be humorous and harmless.Continue reading “2023-Photobombed”
Shine Bright
A few Saturdays ago I attended an ornament exchange party with some beautiful ladies. There was a lot of laughter and childlike joy. I may be a bit partial, but as ladies we know how to have a good time with little or a lot. As ornaments were exchanged you got to see the personality andContinue reading “Shine Bright”
Hello December
Welcome my dear friend! You are one of my favorite months. Over five decades ago a very pregnant young lady walked around waiting to embrace me for the first time. A few days later, there I was taking my very first breath. You were the first month I met. Every year since then you’ve broughtContinue reading “Hello December”
