Isn't it interesting that if we're not careful, we will in a our most happy times disconnect from God? It's odd isn't it? The God who gives the renewed spirit, brand new mercies and grace infinitum is often left out in our times of rejoicing. ...
Three years ago, all I could think is, I took this test once already and I don’t want to take it again. Not only did I dread taking the test again, I was embarrassed that I failed the test the first time. Nonetheless, I had to take the test...
I’m not sure if apologies for my absence in the blogosphere are in order. I needed a refill, so I left the table of blogging to get my cup overflowing. As Priscilla Shirer illuminated in one of her messages about Peter–I had to go and wash my nets so...
God loves His men. So much so that God prepared a beautiful garden for man before he was even created. So much that He “fashioned” a woman specifically for man. So much so that God compares the sanctity of marriage to Jesus Christ (man) and the church (woman). That’s...
“A while back Whitney Houston had a hit single entitled ‘I’m Every Woman’ in which she proclaimed the many roles and kinds of women that must exist inside every female. But women know the flip side to this single: In learning to be ‘every woman’ and conform like a...
I think we toss around the idea of the virtuous woman like an over worn garment. I mean come Mother’s Day and Woman’s Emphasis Month, we have read that passage in Proverbs and commended and praised that woman for all of her wonderful characteristics without giving deep thought to...
I’m sure you’ve all seen the show before. It’s actually one of my favorites. Fashion experts Clinton Kelly and Stacy London select a poor unsuspecting violator of fashion and make her over into a brand new person. But before all of this begins, the hosts of the show watch...
As you can probably tell by my absence on the blog, my life has been a whirlwind over the past few months, and I’ve been chomping at the bit to get back on this blog and write, write, write! But it hasn’t been happening for me. First, my laptop...
Whenever my spirit conquers my flesh, this averages about three to four times a week, I get up around 5:25, put on my workout clothes, pull my hair up, and by 5:30, I’m tuning into “Total Body Sculpt with Gilad” Faithfully, Gilad is there ready to sculpt my body....
A few days ago, I did something I’ve not done in quite some time. I got up and watched the sun rise. Okay, so I didn’t go outside and watch it. I watched in T.V. You see, the discovery channel has a segment that comes on between 6a and...
I’m teaching world literature this term. One of the longer works we are evaluating is called Dante’s Inferno. In it the writer talks about the nine levels of hell. Of particular interest was the level of hell reserved for the flatterers, deceivers, and brown-nosers (level eight I believe)–those...
Who would’ve thought a movie about an overweight Panda and a vengeful peacock would give me goosebumps? I couldn’t wait to get home to my laptop and type away about the lessons I learned. Seriously, from start to finish I was endowed with little nuggets of wisdom. And if...
What I've discovered is there is a way to fly into forty without looking back. I can (in the words of one of my sisters at church-Madelyn) "Bust forty wide open." It's not fair, nevertheless, for me to do that in the face of making other people...
What I realized is that I was “interested in pursuing” this position and that the results of the position being filled had nothing to do with my boss. What I initially failed to realize is that I was not “actively pursuing” this position. Actually, I didn’t even...
Please don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that maturity in this arena gives me license to run around acting a fool. I understand, rather, that what people feel, think, voice about me may have very little to do with me. There are so many other...
