This guy was on my flight back from Atlanta last week. We have met once before, but not since I entered the blogging world. You know it’s bad when you introduce yourself and almost say “dot com” after your name – because, that’s how some people identify you. Anyhoo. He was accompanied by his beautiful [...]

I shall not want.
1 The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need. 2 He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. 3 He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name. 4 Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are [...]

Waiting
My recent faith journey has been a good one. I’ve seen little miracles along the way, but I still haven’t climbed out of the “dip”, if you know what I mean. I’ve been saying all the right things. Praying all the right prayers. Speaking words of life. You get the picture. And, then I just [...]

Good lessons and reminders from a conversation with John Henry.
· When you are talking with someone, make eye contact. Hold it. · Ask the other person questions about his/her self. For example, I asked John Henry, “What are some things that make you scared or nervous about starting Kindergarten?” · Listen when another person is talking. · Sometimes, it’s necessary to forget about my [...]

One act of random kindness.
I watched Evan Almighty again a couple of weekends ago. You know, you know – I think Steve Carell is fabulous. Blah, blah, blah. Remember how I said I would probably always promote Carell movies? I wasn’t lyin’. Not only is he a brilliant actor, he has this touchable quality about him. I think he [...]

Still growing.
It’s been a learning, growing, stretching week. Here are some highlights of things I’ve learned and re-learned: I am not alone when I struggle. Of all the voices I hear, nothing compares to His voice. When we listen and obey His voice, we can’t go wrong. To forgive is, indeed, divine. The body of Christ [...]

Everybody was Kung Fu fighting.
Here is a little known fact about me: I am a black belt. Yep. Full-fledged Kung Fu fightin’ martial artist. Since taking my kids to see Kung Fu Panda, I’ve been showing them some of my old moves – the round kick, side kick, knife-hand punch….all the good ones. I even let John Henry and [...]

In the meantime.
After writing yesterday’s post, I was overwhelmed by not only enormous support, but a love that just reminds me of how truly blessed I am. I said to my friend, Sharon, “Somebody raise the rod already!” In other words, I’m ready for my Red Sea to part….like yesterday. So, what do we do in the [...]

And the Red Sea will part.
For the next two days, I’m not going to post a silly story on one of my adventures of motherhood. I’m not going to draw from some well of wisdom and spiritual insights. You see, I’ve been functioning and ministering from what was poured into me quite some time ago. I’m going to disclose my [...]
