Loving inside, Neighborly outside

WE are told to love our neighbors as ourselves, but the problem is most of us don’t even like who we are and we see others through the same lens and lack the capacity to love anyone. If I find a problem with most people, I know it is because I’m not loving myself. I …

Lazy makes pride easy

I wonder sometimes if Christians are the laziest in getting through disagreements because they just hide behind a scripture wall to support their truth and shut down communication? They stamp the approval of their interpretation onto the situation which allows them to dismiss the other and just claim that what God has told them is …

His wanton spoke loud

You know you should have ended the date when he picked you up and said he had sex with a chic before they even left the house for their first date 40 years ago. That’s four decades of cherishing that rendevous, what happened to his marriage in between? He may have seemed like a mourning …

no more condemnation

Here I am emotionally exposed to the person I once was just a year ago and recognizing how much I have grown.  I almost can't believe it, that I'm able to pray for my spirit and to pray down the anxiety that wants to well up inside of me and condemn me.  I think of …

Don’t date the shrimp, stay single

Why do we compromise ourselves when dating?  Does it really have to take 100 treks around the mountain for some of us to have a light bulb come on?  I have made numerous attempts to slow down the dating process in hopes to protect my heart but all it did was give the dude more …

Svengali wears a cowboy hat 2/22

Something happens on the inside when you know you're walking on shaky ground but don't necessarily have to be. It's that lump in your throat and the heat that surfaces on your chest when you lie to yourself and proceed in a relationship that is screaming "caution". Nothing about the guy is transparent or quantifiable …
