Eyes
Because “I see you”, the you the world does not know how to embrace, encourage or empower my heart responds in the affirmative. I see you beyond the lens of your and others scrutiny and rejection and want to help heal the disconnect. What I see makes me want to introduce you to the best…

Graced For This…Provoked
“It’s like this: when I was a child I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child does. But when I became a man my thoughts grew far beyond those of my childhood, and now I have put away the childish things.” [1 Cor. 13:11 LB] If you were to ask me of my happiest…

Graced for This…Endurance
Love Endures… My eighth grade teacher, Ms. Moran told me “people will notice your smile but they’ll remember your dash, because when your gears get going it’s a heck of a ride”. While running track, I discovered relay races were my niche. Although I preferred to be first leg, my coach often had me post…

On most occasions, words in and of themselves can…

“A brother/sister offended is harder to be won than a strong city and their contentions are like the bars of a castle”. (Proverbs 18:19) Lady V. She’ll probably never be the example used for a woman’s day message, nor serve as the prototype for anybody’s First Lady but Vashti’s anger, antics and actions can teach…

With fear
The very thought, not to mention the reality of loving you the way I do use to scare me. It unearthed every fear and insecurity of who I’m not but wanted to be and threw in my face how my best attempts failed. Love the way I began to understand it challenged me to hope,…
