Dealing with the death of someone dear With a heavy heart, I had to express condolences to the family of a classmate and former church member today.

PRAISE
It is said that specific praise seems sincerest. I know it to be true because when someone can specifically iterate the areas in which I helped them or made them feel good, it catches my attention, and I believe their words to be true. It does not mean they are, but it certainly appears authentic.Continue reading “PRAISE”
WHAT IS GOOD?
Doing good is good! But how do we know what is GOOD without acknowledging a Good God??? May this message reach all those in political authority over us (for an elected season, thank God!!!!).

I FOUND A HACK FOR THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
And it is Helping Me Reprioritize Things Once upon a time, people wanted to live under a set of laws, so God spoke to Moses and thus, the Ten Commandments. Perhaps those people figured that if they had a list of things to do and not to do, they would obey God (not sin andContinue reading “I FOUND A HACK FOR THE TEN COMMANDMENTS”
Happy Juneteenth Day!
Originally published 6/19/21 Dear Reader, As Americans we can celebrate that we live in the only nation that fought a war to end slavery! So why aren’t we celebrating Jubilee Day, too, as a nation? For as long as I can remember we (members of the NAACP) celebrated Jubilee day on the first Sunday ofContinue reading “Happy Juneteenth Day!”
LIVING ON PURPOSE
Changing the World Dear Reader, Purpose could be best defined as glorifying God by doing what God says. That is what Jesus did, right? Therefore, if I want to make the world a better place than I found it, then I must be an active disciple (someone who imitates Jesus’ practices). I have to liveContinue reading “LIVING ON PURPOSE”
