This may be a bit gross for some prim and proper people, but I feel it must be said! There is such relief in successfully blowing snot out of your nose, whereby you are able to breathe, and your air passages feel cleared out, and your head feels ten pounds lighter. But shockers of all … Continue reading Caveat lector: Let the Reader Beware!

Deep Calls to Deep
Do you remember singing “I’m in the Lord’s Army!” as a child? Unfortunately, many of us have grown up with the idea of marching to a different beat. Our battle armor has been traded in for what is in style. While chasing after opulent living, and the affluent society, we have become “Cruise liner” Christians. … Continue reading Deep Calls to Deep
a Wednesday Fast & a Wednesday Goodbye! (July 24, 2024)
Today as I was observing my Wednesday Fast, I received an anxious call from my mother several States over.

This life is … Continue reading a Wednesday Fast & a Wednesday Goodbye! (July 24, 2024)

Shall We Wait until Heaven?
Finding God! Traveling down the interstate occupying the front passenger seat entranced with the thought, if only I could throw myself out the car door and end it all. There was so much of a revengeful spirit in that thinking. Many broken years led to an unhealthy positioning of the mind! And now I found … Continue reading Shall We Wait until Heaven?
A Tale of a Tangled Life
It sparkled and glistened behind the counter catching my eye; I stepped up and asked the salesclerk if I could try it on. But while inspecting the beautiful chain, I realized the clasp would not open because of a knot. The salesclerk was also unable to untangle it preventing me from seeing it around my … Continue reading A Tale of a Tangled Life
September Fast: A VITAL MESSAGE
How did I get here? What led me to start a “dairy, sugar fast" in 2017? At the time I thought it was the health issues I was experiencing. But now, I know without a doubt, it was the providential hand of God. I may never fully understand His methods, but I am so grateful … Continue reading September Fast: A VITAL MESSAGE
