To My WP Family: Recently my plate has been full trying to balance new assignments and things of that nature. I haven’t been present here that much – but I’m not gone. Stay with me. Soon I’ll find my way back ‘home’. Stay With Me Lately I’ve been missing a lotI knowI don’t see youContinue reading “I’ll Find You”

Mary, Did You Know?
During this period of Lent, people of faith often take moments to reflect. This week I tried to imagine the head space that Mary [ the mother of Jesus] was in back then. In the coming days she would stand and watch her son die a painful death. How much did she know? As aContinue reading “Mary, Did You Know?”
I Feel You
Today I watched a movie and saw someone in an emotionally raw state. You could almost taste the pain spewing out of his pores. Tears poured down my face as I felt every piece of his heart rupturing. And it was just a movie. Why did it jar my soul like that? Maybe because I’veContinue reading “I Feel You”
In The Ordinary
If you have lived long enough to walk through some of life’s challenges, you may have noticed that the miracle is often in the ordinary. There are no thunderbolts or lightning. The blessing, the answer to prayer comes in the ordinary. The story is told of the Apostle Paul encountering shipwreck while being transported toContinue reading “In The Ordinary”
PUSH
Today may be a tough one. Possibly, you do not welcome the dawn of this new day. Questions might be swirling around your head as the fight leaves your body. This struggle is real and you have little strength to leap over the walls that want to hold you captive. This could be the postureContinue reading “PUSH”

Made For This
As a teenager leaving high school, I was blank. I had no idea what I wanted to do. My pastor suggested that I tried teaching. That was never on my vision board and I thought it funny. I then reasoned with myself; I had nothing to lose by giving it a shot. I would leaveContinue reading “Made For This”
Coming Up Empty
It’s mid-week and mid-year. I sense mental fatigue and it’s time to rest, replenish, and restore. These are the moments when writing can become difficult. We reach deep, come up empty and flirt with the temptation to quit. Life’s like that. When we come face to face with our limitations, fighting is sometimes the lastContinue reading “Coming Up Empty”
Not All Will Believe
This marks the last few days of May. As we move into the coming months, many of us have to make some major decisions. In my previous post, I mentioned that the end of the school year can signify the end of a season and the beginning of another. For some it breeds excitement, othersContinue reading “Not All Will Believe”
Out of Tune
A piano is tuned to ensure that it performs at its highest level, giving the best sound and feel. Approximately 200 strings are adjusted and tightened during the process. Recently I read that it takes more than 10 tons [more than 20,000 pounds] of pressure to tune a piano. The same writer, commenting on anContinue reading “Out of Tune”
