• How Deep Is Your Love?

  

  I wonder if folks realize this? 🤔 Jesus said to love God with all that you got. EERTHANG, as they say in the Lou. Then to love your neighbor as you love yourself. Easy, yeah? We usually like our neighbors well enough. 🤷🏾‍♀️ But then Jesus dug down in there and said, “I mean, you […]

• I’m a… SLAVE 4 U

  

  In the Baptist Church I grew up in, when we stand up to address the crowd, we always say, “Giving honor to God, who is the head of my life” or “To our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ”. We say it all the time—so much so that it becomes a rote memory thing. I have […]

• (Wo)man in the Mirror

  

  Straightened my hair one day (as much as I could…) and while the style itself was a complete and epic fail (we will talk above it the tools another day), I got to see where my hair was at. I could have just walked away from the mirror and marveled at my growth, ignoring the […]

• I been in the storm too long

  

  I’ve been in the storm too long. And you know when storms last and last, we start looking for answers and reasons like Job. Job, whose storms lasted in such a devastating way, looked up to God for answers that were simply not forthcoming; then while he was waiting on God to say something he […]

• Won’t God make you clean…INSIDE?

  

  Each summer my children have spent a month or so in Mississippi with my parents, freeing me up to adult in peace and rest from the ever present of pressure of parenthood.
