Second chances. A do-over. A make-up. A repeat performance. Last week, I shared my joy in celebrating the twelve years God has blessed me since the massive stroke that nearly killed me in July 2010. However, this past week reminded me in a terrifying way that second chances often require challenges, tests, and tribulations. I’m …
God’s grace is life-giving! I pray that your heart is encouraged and you are inspired to remember all God’s done for you after reading what took place in my life twelve years ago this month. For days I had been feeling “off,” yet I continued to press forward day after day. There was nothing more …
Summer. Are you getting healthy for it? The brutal winters are a thing of months past. Springtime has come and gone in the blink of an eye. Here in Texas, we are approaching 100 degrees in the middle of May! I recently mentioned to an Uber driver that Summer is upon us earlier than expected! …

Are you living with courage? The word God gave me for 2022 is endurance. I’ll admit, I was not sure what to do with the word at first. I even considered perseverance, but God kept bringing me back to “endurance.” So, after doing some research, I was hoping to embrace the word God had given …
LOVE. What does that word mean to you? What is the first thing that pops into your mind when you hear or read the word love? There is no doubt in my mind that the word love means different things to so many. In my fifty-five years on this earth, I have fallen in love …
Tomorrow. What do you think about tomorrow? Why do you think about tomorrow today? Are you aware that there is no promise of tomorrow for any of us?
