Not all of us are blessed enough to recognize our haters. For me personally, several of my haters throughout life escaped detection for long periods of time because of the role they had in my life (friend or relative) or because I didn’t see anything in my life worth their enmity. I’ve since learned thatContinueContinue reading “Love for the Best Haters Ever!”

Pillar of salt or Salt of the Earth?
Lot reached the village just as the sun was rising over the horizon. Then the Lord rained down fire and burning sulfur from the sky on Sodom and Gomorrah. He utterly destroyed them, along with the other cities and villages of the plain, wiping out all the people and every bit of vegetation. But Lot’sContinueContinue reading “Pillar of salt or Salt of the Earth?”
When what you want most is what frightens you the most
A few weeks ago, I took a walk with a stranger on a dark night. On the surface, I’m sure he wasn’t really interested in conversation, but he provided good insight. Some of his assessments of me are still playing in my mind. One of his seemingly unloaded questions to me was, “Do you want a relationship?” IContinueContinue reading “When what you want most is what frightens you the most”
Singing to a Barren Womb
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. ~ Colossians 3:16 I believe I’ve been fighting depression for many years. I believe Satan has been attacking me continually with very little respiteContinueContinue reading “Singing to a Barren Womb”
Birthday Verse Study: August 17
For many years now, I’ve opened the Bible to 8:17 verses to see if anything would pop out to me as a prophecy for my life. I’ve attempted to compile the verses several times – I must say that it’s a lot easier to do electronically from a site like Bible Gateway than handwriting or retypingContinueContinue reading “Birthday Verse Study: August 17”
Awareness of Nakedness
For a number of years on my journey, I embraced the pain of honest self-exposure. At that time, I continually made myself vulnerable in my relational interactions. Truthfully, I can’t say that my vulnerability was well-received or treated well. I can’t report that my availability was appreciated or taken advantage of in a positive manner.ContinueContinue reading “Awareness of Nakedness”
“It was all worth it.”
A young woman I’ve been helping this year asked me the other day, “Ms. Jones, If your life were to end right now, in this moment, and you were taken up to Jesus immediately to see Him face-to-face, what would be the first question you ask Him?” She had asked the question so earnestly, IContinueContinue reading ““It was all worth it.””
In Loving Memory of My Brother, Antoine Jones
It’s very hard to believe it’s been five years since my brother passed away. Life is just so fleeting… so elusive – especially when you don’t attend to it. It’s interesting to me that I was just summarizing the last five years of my life in terms of my spiritual growth – learning to obey,ContinueContinue reading “In Loving Memory of My Brother, Antoine Jones”
I still love this and my thoughts at the end of the passage are still the same. Blessings to all as you merge and manage your reason and passion.
