Bloom Where You’re Planted

December 3, 2020

The dictionary defines happiness as the state of being happy. It then goes on to list synonyms like pleasure, satisfaction, joy, delight, and contentment. The most definitive aspect of happiness is that it motivates every human being to seek it out. This gives us a clue about the value of this state of being, and … More Bloom Where You’re Planted

Trying to Jump Double Dutch with Chains

November 25, 2020

My cousin, Malaysia, is a New Yorker to her core. Born and bred there, she visited her southern relatives only during the summer months, on school vacations. It was on one of her southbound excursions that she introduced Double Dutch Jump Rope to her young cousins. My sisters and I were giddy as all get … More Trying to Jump Double Dutch with Chains

Wait On God’s Green Light

November 19, 2020

We live in a society that is increasingly poopooing the notion of winning a competition or being competitive. This is not going to be an opinion on whether that is an appropriate attitude, but this is most certainly a stand on the truth according to God’s Word. The gray area that everyone loves so much … More Wait On God’s Green Light

Is It Love or Obsession?

November 11, 2020

In any relationship, whether it’s your own emotional state or the person you’re involved with, questioning whether love or obsession is at the root is extremely important. In God’s Word, He gives us very clear information on how love behaves—what it does, and what it produces. One of the biggest mistakes we make when it … More Is It Love or Obsession?

Broken Pieces of that Old Worn-Out Life

November 2, 2020

Sometimes we want a warm body close to us so badly that we make all kinds of excuses for the person’s bad behavior. My friend, who I’ll call Henrietta, is like this. Hen (we’ll call her that for short) has a larger than average body frame. She also has incredibly big feet for a woman … More Broken Pieces of that Old Worn-Out Life

Quaneesha, the Dragon Slayer

October 21, 2020

Whenever the subject of anger comes up between Christians, its common to hear a rationale that goes something like, “Well, Jesus Christ got angry when he turned over the tables in the temple, so it’s okay to be angry.” Ephesians 4:26(NKJV) tells us, ““Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go … More Quaneesha, the Dragon Slayer

Faith Does Not Come with a Seatbelt

October 15, 2020

I was never a fan of the dark. Accustomed to being awakened to horrific surprises, having to jump to my feet in fight or flight mode, as a child I grew to dread nighttime hours. Now, as an adult, sleep doesn’t come as easily as it might for some, and it can be frustrating. I … More Faith Does Not Come with a Seatbelt

When Bitterness Gets A Rub

October 5, 2020

Hebrews 12:15(NLT) tells us, “Look after each other so that none of you fails to receive the grace of God. Watch out that no poisonous root of bitterness grows up to trouble you, corrupting many.”  During the time in which God inspired the Apostle Paul to write this epistle to the Hebrews, Christians were being … More When Bitterness Gets A Rub

Love Is Much More Than You Think

September 22, 2020

“Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you.”1 John 2:15(NLT) When you love someone and this person causes you harm, the hurt can feel like nothing else you’ve ever experienced.  And yet, some have said … More Love Is Much More Than You Think

Dedicating Your New Relationship to God

September 16, 2020

Many of us wake up, proceed with our morning rituals and routines, and carry on with the day. We get into a groove in our lives, and it can become so habit forming that sometimes we don’t recognize we’re neglecting our souls. When we bring this neglect into a new relationship, things can go sour … More Dedicating Your New Relationship to God
