As the year 2020 comes to a close, hopefully taking with it all its chaos and degradation, we will probably go through our normal ritual of reflection and promising to ourselves to do much better and accomplish so much more in 2021. And while this is a good practice, I just want to take aContinue reading “Purpose”

Butterflies, Rainbows, and Unicorns
This past week I found myself quarantined. It seems as though there have been several spikes in the number of COVID-19 cases in….well, just about everywhere. So, as I wait upon my move from God, I am currently living with my daughter, her husband and my granddaughter, Avery. Not wanting to expose them to anythingContinue reading “Butterflies, Rainbows, and Unicorns”
Becoming a Human Racist
I recently read the #1 New York Times Bestseller, written by Ibram X. Kendi, entitled “How to be an Antiracist”. After reading what I found to be an extremely well-written explanation of the various forms of racism and how to combat each by practicing anti-racist behaviors, I was invited to have a conversation with aContinue reading “Becoming a Human Racist”

Interestingly enough, we would prefer to forgive a friend or total stranger before forgiving ourselves. Why do you think it is so difficult for usContinue reading “Forgiveness”

Have you ever played this game with someone? A fist indicates a rock, hard and forceful, unmovable, able to crush scissors, as indicated by moving the first two fingers open and closed. However, if you end up just putting your hand straight out, you are demonstrating paper, which can be cut by scissors, but overtakesContinue reading “Rock, Paper, Scissors”
BRedd of Life
Why BRedd of life? Jesus said that He was the Bread of Life (John 6:48 ). So, am I saying that I am like Jesus. Yes and no. No one can compare to Jesus. Jesus is our Lord and Savior. It is through Him that we have access to God and eternal life. But asContinue reading “BRedd of Life”
