God’s Listening Ear is Always Open
on March 2nd, 2025
“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you” (Matt 7:7-8 NIV). This scripture was a part of our bible study Tuesday. As we went into our study, it was apparent that some felt they asked too much, others felt they asked too little, while others didn’t want to commit to an answer at all. I find that, during various times in my walk and relations... Read More
God Has a Plan for Your Home
on February 23rd, 2025
Every time we moved into a new home I would say, “A house is a home depending on the kind of people residing in it.” Today, more and more are searching for fulfillment outside the home because of the instability and lack of foundational principles that direct the affairs of a family. More than half of the marriages end up in divorce, and as a result, single parents are ever burdened with the task ... Read More

She was in the hospital for some time before they sent h... Read More
Freedom is Not Free

February is Black History Month. My mind goes over the many great men and women who paved the way and broke down barriers to open opportunities for the black and brown. When people said NO, these people found ways to still persevere and make inroads into American society. There are too many greats to name, but Harriet Tubman and the underground railroad immediately come to mind. Harriet Tubman was... Read More
Bless or Judge

Growing up we lived in an abusive environment. After my mom divorced my stepdad we didn’t always have enough money. The rest of the family pitched in as much as they could but it was hard to support a family of eight. When the cabinets were empty mom prayed for food and soon there would be a knock at the door with someone bringing a meal. At other times, there was no one at the door except for big... Read More
