Underwriting Love
It seems everyone wants a guarantee against future failure that will safeguard life and love from potential losses.

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.

Preview Party

In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths” (Proverbs 3:5-6) Life and love is a faith walk that must be traveled consistently.
