The Capacity of Earthen Vessels, A Love Story
I’m full of tears. If you don’t know yet. My husband Bishop William Spencer passed away yesterday quickly and quietly. Keep all of his children and extended family in your prayers.

This ain’t the time to turn back now.

Joyous Kwanzaa, Day 7: IMANI
True believers understand that salvation is a deed-less experience, that we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. That we find redemption in receiving the forgiveness purchased by the blood shed on the cross. But there IS another step thereafter. That same faith, when fully formed through the hearing of the word, produces […]

Kindness, Clarity, and Encouragement – #98
Listen. LISTEN. This last 2 years. BOOIIIIII. But I never have lost my faith in GOD or the fact that He has a purpose for me and my children’s children. So I have labored to rest, and I press from within His rest. I’ve had to cry.I’ve had to sit down.I’ve had to admit defeat.I’ve […]
