Last night after one of my late classes, I sat in my car in the parking lot and just stared. The students were all gone and a few cars were there – maybe the security and custodial staff for the college. It was almost 9PM and I needed to sit for a minute. Am IContinue reading “Just Sit”

What If
Yesterday I listened to young man sharing his journey of faith. He mentioned that it was a tough day for him but he was learning how to push through when things don’t go as he expects. I started to reflect on my season and the lessons I’m being taught currently. There are times when weContinue reading “What If”
Bedfellows
This is a time of year that many here in the US choose to embrace an attitude of gratitude in different ways. We get some time to reflect even as we are moving closer to the end of another year. Many of us are just grateful that we made it this far – some ofContinue reading “Bedfellows”
Why Bother?
Have you ever made a decision to go deep? To make a turnaround – do the right thing? To ‘seek God’ in a new way- to feed your spirit in a fresh way? We aim to do a heart adjustment, only find that things around us start ‘ breaking’ – falling to pieces. The groundContinue reading “Why Bother?”
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.

The truth is things do have a way of working out. As a person of faith, I stay in peace by havingContinue reading “You are Always on My Mind”
Choose Well
Something I read today hit me in a real place. Primarily because I have had my fair share of poor choices and have had to deal with the consequences. The writer commented,” Real freedom isn’t about having the liberty to gratify your every appetite; it’s about refusing to become a slave to unhealthy desires” [TheContinue reading “Choose Well”
Anxious Hearts
Like many there are days we need a calm for our anxious hearts. Unanswered questions, uncertain tomorrows, wearisome delays — no end in sight. We wonder why we are assigned so many mountains to climb. Glancing across at our fellow men, we may be tempted to speculate why their journey appear so much easier. YouContinue reading “Anxious Hearts”
We Hold Them
Recently a friend of mine sent a message letting me know she prayed for my son as he came to her mind and heart. I truly appreciated that message. Everyday I hear the same cry from parents – ‘pray for my children’. When they are young we lift them, hold them in our arms. WhenContinue reading “We Hold Them”
