In recent years, I've come to appreciate that every season, in its time, is my favorite season.... There is a purpose for the season you are in. Make sure you get what you're meant to get from it.
Each new day is like the first day of spring!
Each new day is like the first day of spring! If only we could feel like that on the truly dreary days! But no worries, when spring comes we forget the darkness, don't we? No thought is given to the deadness of the winter just passed. It's a new day... a new season, and weContinue reading "Each new day is like the first day of spring!"

What really matters in the end…
I am not one to admit to having favorites within my family. There's a great deal of jealously on both sides and I learned early on that what I did for one person, I had to do for others. Most especially for my two grandmothers, who had the wonderful foresight (or cunning) to be neighborsContinue reading "What really matters in the end…"
God’s abundance is never more than we can bear…
"Yet even in the discomfort of transformation, my Good Father gave me clues as to what He was getting me ready for. Even as the remnants of my old life lay in shreds at my feet, the glory of my new life was illuminated before my eyes."
Questioning the “equality” of “marriage”
What is in a name? The promise of character and the hope of destiny..... So, I’m questioning why the push to call same sex committed relationships "marriage"? If same sex couples are already forging their own way to a lifetime commitment, why not name their relationship in a unique way to express what they hope to achieve with their commitment? Why insist on calling it “marriage” if their relationship is by nature the antithesis of what marriage was created to be?
An oxymoron in teaching about sin: “Love the sinner, hate the sin.”
A heart that loves God completely has no room for hate of any kind. Jesus instructs us to love everyone as we love ourselves. We are to love people (patiently treat them with gentleness, kindness, mercy and grace)– yes, even those consumed in their sin – and pray for them. That’s it.

It's been so long since I've heard that song, I started singing along while walking through theContinue reading "Song & Verse: Getting Reacquainted with James Ingram at Duane Reade"
