Understanding Her.
It is an exciting time in the life of my family. All the men in my life are currently in relationships. All five of my brothers have significant others, special women that they’ve made their wives (Antoine, Hestin) or plan on making their wives (Big Ron, Joe, and Josh) in the very near future. For…

Private Party
A few years ago one of my favorite singers India Arie performed a song entitled Private Party. The premise of the song was that she was having a private party with herself…celebrating the woman she’s become. There are times as we venture to live and love in God’s likeness that we have to allow the Holy…

Preview Party
The hardest day of the year for me as a child was Christmas Eve. To know you have presents under the tree WITH YOUR NAME ON IT and not be able to unwrap, look at, engage or enjoy them until a designated time seemed like cruelty to me. And to make matters worse my mom…

The Taste Test
Walk through any food court and you will encounter several opportunities to taste test items off the menu. The marketing schematic suggests if you taste it, like it, you will buy it.

The Joy Factor
According to Psalms 1 every believer/ follower of Christ lives in a state of happiness/bliss when he or she agrees with God’s teachings, by adhering to the things searched out in His Word. We are blessed when We process, practice and proclaim the Word as our personal truth. When the word is the standard of…

Truth’s Evaluation
Ever notice how our truth directly opposes God’s truth about himself, ourselves, and others? Maybe that’s the work of salvation…correctly appropriating God’s truth to our living and loving… (the actualities of being/doing in His likeness) although it’s contrary to our natural instincts, inclinations, and interest. How and what we feel will ALWAYS oppose God’s truth…
