“What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you.”— Ralph Waldo Emerson We all have seasons of doubt and uncertainty in our lives. We look down every avenue hoping to find an answer or glimpse of hope in our current circumstances. Life feels so … Continue reading It’s Inside

The Sweet Satisfaction of Solving the Problem
Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay Today is March the 1st, 2021. I have been in front of a computer for the better part of a day trying to solve a problem. I did, you know! I solved it.

As I Looked 50 Boldly in the Face the World Stopped
I opened my blog today after ignoring it for quite some time. As you well know we've been in a pandemic situation for the last year.

Hear My Cry
I know we haven't talked much lately... I'd say I'm sorry about that, but if I was, then I would not have stopped talking... Maybe that makes me a bad person, a bad Christian, a human, honest, I don't even know anymore... I have never stopped believing in You...

The Good, Good Father.

In the moments after it happened and for entire time it took for his injury to heal, I would have done anything in my power to fix him myself. I would have, without question, made everything all better for him. When I heard … Continue reading The Good, Good Father.

Those who know me personally know that the latter is more my speed. The whole reason I chose the name of the blog is because … Continue reading To Each Their Own

Be The Sunshine
That's it. That is my motto right now. It's not easy, but it's a life saver. A few months ago I woke up to the reality that my attitude was making life harder than it had to be. I was speaking so much shit and shit is what I was getting back. I know that … Continue reading Be The Sunshine
