Things Above

I know, the title is a little funky but we like to have fun over here. I want to give a S/O to Priscilla Shirer because she said something that has played over and over in my mind for days. It was powerful and practical.  She was speaking on the Candace Cameron Bure podcast and…

If you’re reading this, you have something to praise God for.  Happy New Year! We have been kept for another year and have been chosen to enter into 2025! Let’s pause to thank God for his faithfulness and promises.  One of the many new things I tried last year was cycling. I joined the Cycle…

At any point in time, we are living an answered prayer. For a while, I’ve wanted to have a New York Christmas and this year I was blessed to do so. Everyday spent there was packed with activities. I walked over 32,000 steps which was about 13 miles, I visited several popular and iconic places,…

What a privilege to gather with family.  What a privilege to stay home.  What a privilege to have someone call you on the phone.  What a privilege to have dinner to cook.  What a privilege to have a house to clean. What a privilege to be overwhelmed with plans.  What a privilege to have a…

1 Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish festivals. 2 Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. 3 Here a great number of disabled people used to lie—the blind, the lame, the paralyzed. 5 One who was there had…

My advice is to accept it as the truth and don’t…

It’s not always about money.  Sometimes it’s just a hug.  It’s not always about a meal shared.  Sometimes it’s just about being acknowledged.  It’s not always about lengthy advice.  Sometimes it’s just about being heard. It’s not always about having the perfect thing to say. Sometimes it’s just about a few words of hope. When…

Worship music is a sweet sound found in the house of God.  Prayer is a sweet sound found in the house of God.  Testimonies are a sweet sound found in the house of God.  A sound that’s just as sweet or even sweeter can easily be missed and it’s this: the turning of pages.  In…

On many occasions, I’ve asked God to speak to me while I’m asleep because I can’t be distracted, I can’t busy myself with something, I’m just completely vulnerable and open to Him. On October 26th, I had the most realistic and jarring encounter with God. Specifically, a vision of His mighty hand. The message was…

I hope you still have your joy! The joy of the Lord is your strength.  This is a good time to realize the difference between joy and happiness.  Happiness is based on results, outcomes and circumstances and therefore ebbs and flows with the turns of life.  Joy, however, runs deep and is anchored.  So count…
