Self Love
A theme I’ve been contemplating—or rather one that has arrested me—is the notion of self. How we conflate our self with our flesh…to concepts quite related yet very much different. The soul has an option, to do what it wills to do and follow the flesh; or, to do as God wills it to do […]

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.

I’m a WRETCH Undone | August 2015 (Nashville Now)

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 […]
