The Phoenix then ignites itself into a magnificent fire and is consumed in the flames. After 3 days the birth or rebirth occurs. The Phoenix arises from its own Read More
Roots and Pots
Roots and Pots I was working in my garden recently, rearranging some plants that stay in pots through the winter. When I first planted them in the pots, I chose large pots, with room to grow, and they have grown for several seasons. I was attempting to rotate the pots to expose a different side of the plant to the light, but the Read More
Comparison is the Thief of Joy
Comparison is the thief of joy.” —Theodore Roosevelt I’ve struggled with comparison and it is simply a character flaw that I don’t want in my life. Comparing your self with others is not a good thing. At first, it might have been school grades, and being liked the most. And as I got older I began comparing other things like: Read More
In Over My Head
In Over My Head When I thought about this blog I had nothing in my mind to write about I mean zero!

We sometimes forget all that God speaks to us while time and life are happening all Read More

Why God?

Essentially, why is Read More

I was still pondering over the moment God, (right before I was to speak), told me He wanted me to speak about something other than the Read More
Spiritual Sponge
May 11, 2018 Spiritual Sponge Several weeks ago I was attending a women’s retreat. It was beautiful; God’s presence was in the place. I have experienced moments like this many times before; however, this particular time was different. Some women were praying, while others were praising the lord, all were worshiping God in their own ways. The spirit of God Read More
Just Thinking of Thoughts
I recently shared a story about one of the things I would do when I was angry or frustrated as a teenager. I would ask one of my brothers to go with me to the playground of our neighborhood school. We would take a baseball and bat with us. I would have him pitch the ball to me and I would Read More
The Truth! The Whole Truth! And Nothing But The Truth! That’s My God!
I have a confession to make! I do not watch the News very often or the History Channel or the Discovery Channel or many other channels. More often than not I want to throw my shoe through the television because of the perpetual Lie that the World lives under! There are only two realities in the entire Universe, the Truth and the Lie.
