“You’ll know you’re winning when you are no longer thinking about yourself.” There it was, a sparkling result, indeed synthesis of the many things I had been talking over with my “Papa.” I have found my weekly trips to visit my mother have provided me with a rich opportunity for communion with my God of…
I’m going to propose something tonight you may find a bit insulting. We all learned a certain way to live life. Because we were unaware and did not know better we were easy prey. We were taught a way to live that really didn’t involve God. Oh sure, we made obligatory appearances and some attended…
I’m not sure if you watched the Grammy’s last night, but there was this beautiful 80 second segment aired by Spotify designed to encourage young artists to trust their own sound. So many young artists began so soon because they trusted their inner voice more than a whole world that said otherwise. Arrested by the…
This world can be a confusing place at times. Unlike the past, there are endless distractions all clamoring for our time and attention. We have the world at our fingertips with just a few strokes on the keyboard. We have unparalleled access to information and with that information comes a litany of requirements; things we…

In the world of health, being made whole means the removal of every cause for ill health resulting in full restoration. Even the word “whole” itself would seem to…
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what it means to hear God’s voice. It is not incredulous to me that God would speak to His people who have a spirit connection with Him. Nor is it beyond the realm of possibility that God would actually want to communicate with His children. I guess there…
As a believer it has been my personal experience over the years that anything that places the focus back on me instead of on God is usually suspect. That’s not to say that I have no responsibility for anything, but rather so-called requirements on my part tend to take me away from and not closer…
When God invented life, He intended for it to be a time of happiness, blessings and delight. In His original creation, man and woman had unlimited access to all that God created and He created it all for them. There was no pain, no sorrow, no sadness, no sickness and no death. There was no…
