August is a month of reflection and celebration. All this year I’ve been looking back. Mostly at the history of America as it relates to descendents of the American slave trade, including legacy systems, and Black Women. I’ve returned to old homes and old jobs. I’ve committed to finishing unfinished work. Now my mind andContinueContinue reading “Looking back to move forward”

Kingdom of Heaven (ACAD: Matthew 19)
“There is only one who is good. If you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.”
Kingdom of Heaven (ACAD: Matthew 13)
That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea. Such great crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat there, while the whole crowd stood on the beach. And he told them many things in parables, saying: “Listen! A sower went out to sow. And asContinueContinue reading “Kingdom of Heaven (ACAD: Matthew 13)”
Give Yourself Permission to Be Uncertain
This is about fragility, vulnerability, uncertainty, poor decisions and giving yourself permission to do things over when you’re in a better mental state.
Kingdom of Heaven (ACAD: Matthew 3)
In those days John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness of Judea, proclaiming, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” This is the one of whom the prophet Isaiah spoke when he said, “The voice of one crying out in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.’” NowContinueContinue reading “Kingdom of Heaven (ACAD: Matthew 3)”
Kingdom of Heaven (ACAD: John 1)

Kingdom of Heaven (ACAD: Psalm 19)
God’s Glory in Creation and the Law To the leader. A Psalm of David. The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.

Concerning AlmsgivingBeware of practicing your piety before others in order to be seen by them; for then you have no reward from your Father in heaven. “So whenever you give alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be praisedContinueContinue reading “Kingdom of Heaven (ACAD: Matthew 6)”
Sermon: God’s Original Idea, Part 1 by Myles Munroe
Myles Munroe is one of the most phenomenal Bible teachers I’ve ever listened to and read. I came across him early in my studies, so I’m sure some of his explanations are embedded in my thinking. I’ve been listening to sermons this weekend and thought about him. He and his wife died in a planeContinueContinue reading “Sermon: God’s Original Idea, Part 1 by Myles Munroe”
