What I love about grapefruit.
My daughters and I love grapefruit. We like the large ones with pink centers. We love the citrusy taste offset by the sweetness of a little sugar (Stevia for me the diabetic). We love them cold from the refrigerator. The exhilaration of the sensory blend of smell, taste and temperature delivers something very satisfying…and they’re…

Sixty Two
Sixty Two. 62! I have completed sixty-two years on this earth. The noise of those numbers keeps resonating in my mind. I approach my 63rd year with continued optimism. With expectation. With hope. Pursuing yet another significant career move to offer what a life of experience of some successes, of numerous failures (professional and personal)…

Lap Dogs
I recently wrote a curriculum that I entitled ‘Lap Dogs.’ The title based upon the story of Gideon in the Bible. Gideon was considered the weakest in his clan, yet God used him mightily. If you don’t know this incredible story of unrestrained faith used by God for ridiculous victory, it is a great read. …

Irrefutable Identity
I have recently been in a Season that I would have never expected to find myself for the remainder of my life. A Season that I believe Satan intended for utter destruction and God allowed to reinforce within me who and whose I am. A Season of attack that continues to backfire on Satan as…

“Dad said the ‘S’ word!”
Do as I say, not as I do. Hmm, or not. (This may be the off ramp for some of my social media ‘friends’) “Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear”…

My secrets? Haha, wouldn’t you like to know! How do you think the Israelites would have looked upon God…

Praise in the Storm
A few months ago I publicly wrote and announced that I was no longer hiding or avoiding Satan and his minions. I arrogantly wrote that I was declaring war on him and his evil. I naively shared that I was ready. I wasn’t and I am not. “If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover…

Stay with me here.
Consider that the resentment, bitterness or just outright jealousy that may be aimed at you may have a purpose beyond what you can see. Most of us know the story of Moses. A Hebrew boy, saved by Pharaoh’s daughter, raised in privilege as an Egyptian (because he was adopted by Pharaoh’s daughter). Confused by his…

It’s likley not if you are ready. Rather, will you accept?
“Who is a God like You, who forgives wickedness And passes over the rebellious acts of the remnant of His possession? He does not retain His anger forever, Because He [constantly] delights in mercy and lovingkindness.” Micah 7:18 (AMP) In 2026, commit to approach the newness of the year with the refreshing that comes from…

CHRIST-MAS
You came and fulfilled the promises foretold 800 years before. You came through the lineage of David, 28 generations later. You came because your Father never fails. You came because you loved me more than you loved the glory, safety and honor of the throne upon which you rightfully sat and sit. You came because…
