On the Real
It always amazes me how we’re quick to thank God for the favorable things of life and love but fail to acknowledge or thank Him for those things that challenge, correct and change us. I’m thankul for the real story, the details noone cares to hear, those things that are tempting to ignore, those things…

NOW WHAT???
I went to see the Jackie Robinson movie 42 the day it came out. The movie gave lively witness to the endurance and strength of character when challenged and confronted with the tides of change. Harrison’s Ford character (Branch Rickey) asks the character playing Jackie Robinson (Chadwick Boseman) to have the courage not to fight…

Now&Later
Today’s my day 1 again. My start over…return, recommit, reconnect and rehearse the promise moment. I will intentionally focus on what God desires, designates, and designed for my life and love. Today the promise is not somewhere off in the distance. It’s no longer in the one-day category…it is in and for my now. Now…

Dear One
“My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline, and do not resent his rebuke, because the Lord disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in” Proverbs 3:11-12 Sr., dear one she’s not pure not dear She hates where you’ve been The things that make you you That’s why you have to…

Release
It is contrary to common practice but with God it is possible…it happens…and it will happen for us. The very people God used to chastise, correct, constrain, and hold Judah captive due to King Ahaz’s disobedience ended up being the same people used to minister restoration, healing, and voyage back to Jericho (see 2 Chronicles…

Refreshing
Its official we are moving from barrenness to fruitfulness…God’s purifying power is healing life and love from the propensity to be unproductive, unfruitful, sterile, and barren. We will no longer suffer miscarriages, still births, or abort purpose as a result of the bad water nourishing our surroundings. God Almighty is the purifying agent causing the…

Be You
When we were children I noticed my brother’s ability to make people laugh…he is the life of the party…always cracking jokes and doing something shockingly stupid. He has the ability to make you laugh even when you don’t want to. Once you get past his craziness and cantankerous tactics the shock wears off and you…

About Time
I don’t know if it’s the tick tock of my alarm clock…or the inner alarm of my biological clock that has me tracking, thinking and talking about time. Maybe it’s the passing of time or my need to be more mindful of time that is triggering my focus and turning my feelings toward time. All…

My Times
The very first thing I remember purchasing for myself was a bank. I was eight years old in the third grade and excited to finally be able to participate in school spirit week. The Catholic school I attended (St. Brigid) always ended the week with an indoor Carnival hosted by parents and volunteers for grades…

Get Away
Before life and love underwent this season of inactivity I was always on the go. It seemed I lived to find someplace to go. One I use to hate the city in which I live and two I loved the freedom of being who I am without the scrutiny, skepticism, and scholarly advice of how…
