Compelled to write, I began this journey sensing the call of God, even despite some who questioned it. The feelings of aloneness took my breath away at times. Rivers of discouragement pulled me under, bolstered by a burdensome backpack. This pack was well-worn, stuffed with letters of interrogation: aptitude, skill, and capability for the journey. … Continue reading A Stone Thrower! (A 10th Season Begins)

THE INSIDE MAN!
Recently, I reached out to my nephew who has been incarcerated for more than 6 years. Each time I include Scripture in my correspondence, always looking to see how he responds. As more and more time drags on, my mind can easily think the worst. But once again, I was blessed by the response I … Continue reading THE INSIDE MAN!
Agathos
Heavenward!
You took her home [three] years ago. Our hearts were broken in two! Yet a strong desire to be there grew. To know and experience what she now knew. Her journey's end found an eternal beginning. 1There's a land that is fairer than day, And by faith we can see it afar, For the Father … Continue reading Heavenward!
A Heart of Gold?
We like to think well of people for the most part; And sometimes we are arguing to that point. Have you ever made the statement, “Oh, well she/he has a good heart!”? Certainly, we would reason for the goodness of our own heart, having a virtue and integrity that surpasses many. And yet, Scripture is … Continue reading A Heart of Gold?

My Nephew & The Line UP!
Hearing from my nephew in prison or getting an update through my sister (his mother), I never tire of hearing what amazing work the Lord is accomplishing. However, there are those times when I fall on my face crying out for God’s great hand of protection or deliverance even from a line up. Those are … Continue reading My Nephew & The Line UP!
A Fast Completed and a Birthday Celebrated!
Last month was such a blessing! A powerful reminder that God’s Word never runs out of fuel, never disappoints, and is living and active (Hebrews 4:12). It can never be exhausted! It is never irrelevant! It is applicable for every situation! Morning by morning throughout the month of September (September Fast, 2022), God awakened … Continue reading A Fast Completed and a Birthday Celebrated!
Lost in Logic!
When we first heard the news that my sister-in-law had a rare stomach cancer and there was not much of a treatment plan, it made no sense. When she was taken to her eternal home January 24, 2021, it made no sense. When my nephew was diagnosed with Leukemia just 7 months after his mom … Continue reading Lost in Logic!
The Pool of Bethesda
My hair is a matted, unkept mess and peering into the mirror is not for the faint of heart! I am trying to remember the last time I had a shower, or even a bath! I am beginning to feel like the lame man at the pool of Bethesda (John 5). Maybe a little exaggeration … Continue reading The Pool of Bethesda
