After reading the following devotional several days ago, I marked the page to remind myself to use it for this particular milestone… Sorrow is better than laughter; for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better (Ecclesiastes 7:3). When sorrow comes under the power of divine grace, it works out a manifold … Continue reading Five Years Without You!
The Finest Brew!
Something has been brewing in the back of my mind. While seemingly not popular, it is what the Lord brought to me face to face through my periodic fasting sessions. These annual and periodic fasting sessions are for the purpose of growing closer to my Savior and King and having the eyes of my heart … Continue reading The Finest Brew!

“Tis the season to be comfy!”
Sometime ago, we stayed in a hotel where I had to share a lumpy double bed with a restless bed hog with a propensity for talking in their sleep. The room being on the smaller side, with an uncomfortable bed (as I previously mentioned), neither were there enough towel racks or hooks, there was one … Continue reading “Tis the season to be comfy!”

From my last correspondence with him, I am saddened to lose the advantage of writing to him … Continue reading Anthony Jacque
