Take a Step Back
Life has a way of pulling you in every direction. Family obligations and work seem to overlap each other while what you want to do seems to be put on the back burner. When things start to overwhelm you, when you don’t know which way is up, you have to take a step back. When I had my take a step back moment I was … Continue reading Take a Step Back
Stand or Fold
Have you ever had and idea that you knew was revolutionary? Thinking about it made you excited because you knew that it would benefit the people around you. Your idea is not just a good idea, but it is a God idea. You prepare every detail. You tell everyone you know; they are excited about it. You put everything you have and everything you are … Continue reading Stand or Fold
Road Trip
A daughter is driving down the highway with her Father on a road trip. Halfway to their destination it starts to get cloudy. The more they drive the darker it gets and it starts to rain. The daughter noticed on the side of the road that a car had stopped under the over pass, but she didn’t think anything of it. A few miles down … Continue reading Road Trip
Broken Pieces
“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” -2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV When I was a kid I was taught that if you don’t have anything good to say don’t say it at … Continue reading Broken Pieces
For the Life of Me
I have been writing all of my life, even before I put pen to paper. As a child I would look out of car windows and wonder about where our destination was, who would be there and what we were there to do. Out of the picture window in the living room I would see people go by and make up stories about where they … Continue reading For the Life of Me
Berry Good
I love Spring in Detroit it’s not too hot, not to cold. This is the time when I can take my work out routine outside on the River Walk instead of in the gym. This is also the time when I think of lighter things to eat like watermelon, raspberries, grapes, salads, and of course barbeque. One of my favorite Spring desserts is strawberry shortcake, so … Continue reading Berry Good
Are you going?
Just before Jesus ascended into heaven He told His Disciples in Mark 16:15 (NKJV) to “…Go into all the world and preach [proclaim, publish*] the gospel [good news*] to every creature…” This commandment still holds true today. As followers of Christ we are to proclaim the good news of His Sacrifice to all that will hear. Look at it this way, if you had a … Continue reading Are you going?
The Love of It
My grandmother loved to cook. Every day we had a home cooked breakfast, lunch, and dinner. One of my favorite things that she would cook was Macaroni and Cheese; I can taste it even now while I type these words. Regular Mac & Cheese has sooooo many calories, I would have to walk 2 hours to burn it off; I listed the nutrition facts … Continue reading The Love of It
Start Living
To live a life without purpose is not living at all; it’s just existing. From the day we accepted Christ as Savior we have a responsibility to do what we where put on this Earth to do. At the foundation of the World, God created in us everything we need to fulfill his plan for our lives. The Gospel of Matthew was written by one … Continue reading Start Living
The Art of Communication
Communication is an art form that has come under attack by the use of technology. Don’t get me wrong, I know there is a place and time for everything. Technology makes our lives better by allowing us to connect with more people over greater distances, something that was only possible through long distance calling cards before. What was supposed to bring us closer pushed us … Continue reading The Art of Communication
