Lesson on Leadership: Vision-casting Matters
When a leader says “None of” or “nobody” wants to follow their vision? That’s a red flag for me. What are you asking them to follow? Is the vision written and plain so folks can run or are you just flying by the seat of your pants, lying on the Holy Ghost? Are the steps […]

I’ve Sung This Song Before
Another place, another time?The pleasure would have been all mine.It’s been awhile since I’ve been stirred…A long time since this has occurred.Had you but met me long ago…The tales to tell! The show to show!I’d never bring myself to missThe chance to indulge in your kiss.And oh, I’d have enjoyed so muchThe pleasure found in […]

The Effect of Evening Anger
Be angry, yet do not sin; on your bed, search your heart and be still. Selah Psalm 4:4 When it says don’t let the sun go down in your anger, it’s not about resolving the issue with the other person. It’s about resolving the issue within YOU. Anger unresolved becomes offense planted as the seed […]

The Messiness of Motherhood
Being a mother is learning about strengths you didn’t know you had and dealing with fears you didn’t know existed. Nishan Darwar When they say “parenting doesn’t come with an instruction manual,” that’s such an understatement. At least it was for me! Even with the unsolicited but absolutely necessary and exceedingly appreciated advice from my […]

Boundaries
I almost forgot! I’d actually meant to “press” someone else’s work and forgot that I never actually did it; I had saved it, thinking I’d scheduled it instead. What I had meant to do was leave a little blurb on their original post before I shared it because to do otherwise seems rude to me, […]

Discipline and Depth
Lots of people are looking for the ESOTERIC in God, meaning that you want Daniel and John the Revelator encounters. You want the secret things. Let me be clear: THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. As God trusts you, God will show you things. The price is high, though. It costs the crushing, the beating, […]

Time Heals All Wounds
I have a few more days to throw poems at you! Lol. This one is a favorite. It’s a simple free verse kind of thing. I was thinking about so many complex situations, and this fell into my lap. Does time really heal anything? My answer would be no. The only benefit of time is […]

Always Stay Gracious: The Best Revenge? It’s Your Savior.
I’m writing you from a position of perfecting. See, I’m in process, being stripped down to my bearings like a rusty bicycle. Rust lingers and builds up on itself—even after you’ve taken a metal like iron or basic steel out of the elements, the rust doesn’t magically disappear. It has to be CLEANED OFF. And […]

He Keeps On Doing Great Things for Me
Triolet– A/B/a/A/a/B/A/B rhyming pattern. Poets.org, https://poets.org/glossary/triolet So I took the #Triolet Challenge as set forth by the blog “We Drink Because We’re Poets” (now defunct, I believe) on August 5, 2013. It is an interesting structure that lends itself to iambic tetrameter–at least for me. It felt natural; though I have always told myself that […]
