This is sunset in my native country. The day is drawing to an end. Sometimes when things approach their end, we can relax, reflect, and enjoy all that was accomplished. Other times the end brings a lingering sense of disenchantment and disappointment. As the year slows to an end, many are restless with dreams orContinue reading “Another Day in Waiting”

First Things First
“You [absent] fathers who have your hands raised [to God] in church today, put your hands down and go find your children.” These were the words of my pastor recently. It grabbed my heart. Sometimes we make relationship with God complicated. We put on the cloak of religion ‘doing’ all the perceived right things. AllContinue reading “First Things First”

Don’t you just hate explaining ‘you’ sometimes? Especially when you are not even too sure what’s going on yourself. This month marksContinue reading “Why I Write”

First let me pay homage to daddies, papas, grandpas, uncles, brothers, cousins,Continue reading “He Loves”
