Live Each Day to the Fullest

There is a song by a Country music singer that has lyrics with the potential to influence perspective on living each day to the fullest. A poor diagnosis can change one’s perspective and shift priorities for many, if not all. We do not know what life will be like tomorrow, James 4:14a. The lyrics: Verse:Continue reading “Live Each Day to the Fullest”

Unsung Heroes

I am so grateful for all the workers who are mandated to ‘clock in’ during this season of variant. However, I would like to introduce to you the Unsung Heroes of today. It is no surprise that any task or responsibility that has to do with keeping the family sane and safe holds the positionContinue reading “Unsung Heroes”

“Ah…” What a Feeling

Too much of anything in the secular realm is not wise. Do a quick self-examination and ask yourself what is the object of your overconsumption. Truthfully, I could make a list of the top ten. In my effort to encourage you, my goal is not to rattle off a list of what we spend tooContinue reading ““Ah…” What a Feeling”

God is Worth the Effort

Just thinking of His ‘Allness’, my heart feels full. You know theContinue reading “God is Worth the Effort”

Godly Planning

Many people are avid planners and already have 2020 planned and promised as such: dreams of a beautiful spring wedding and reception with a guest list of 100 plus; travel plans accompanying career ambitions or positions of prestige; the Cooper River Bridge Run scheduled for this Saturday, April 4th; maybe a trip to some exoticContinue reading “Godly Planning”

Somebody Had to Say It

I just hate to talk about this, but I do not think that I have a choice. Somebody has to be the one to say it. Why not I; especially since I can relate. The struggle is real! Beware of the sneaky little low key temptations lurking in the background. Most people are focusing onContinue reading “Somebody Had to Say It”

…Not Until I Know Why

I am an educator at heart, Assistant Professor of Nursing. I have not spoken on the virus, because I wanted to save my words to speak life and give you hope. However, if I do not speak out, then I am not being responsible with what the Lord has gifted me with for the journey.Continue reading “…Not Until I Know Why”
