The More Things Change, the More They Stay the Same

The More Things Change, the More They Stay the Same

Have you ever had that déjà vu moment where you think you’ve been at a strange place before? Maybe you read a news story that reminded you of something in the past. It seems the more we go forward, the more history repeats itself. Whether for good or bad. No matter how hard we try, evil still develops in the world. Diseases form with no known cure. And people have doubts about Jesus. Doubting in …

Letting go in life…and not just the details

Letting go in life…and not just the details

Today Dianna T. Benson will be taking over the reins. Check out the great cover on her latest release.   Letting go in life…and not just the details I’ve learned to just let life play out. Even with important things, when something goes wrong or doesn’t go as planned, instead of panicking or getting upset, I take a deep breath and let it go. Unless I can do something to fix the mess, change the …

Are Your Hands Opened or Closed?

Are Your Hands Opened or Closed?

Jesus was always helping others. He constantly had his hands open to give things away, whether it be food or a miracle. As Christians, during our walk, we are to grow to become more Christlike. That begs the question. Are your hands opened like Jesus’ were? Too many times we have our hands closed. We cling to things that we deem important. Wordly possessions that only last a little while. Or our fingers take things …

Are You on Remote Control?

Are You on Remote Control?

Thank you. You’re welcome. Have a good day. You, too. These are all sayings we use every day. But do we really mean them. Or have we turned on the remote control in our lives to where we automatically answer without even thinking? Shouldn’t we, as Christians, show a bit more attention to our words than just spouting random responses? God wants us to pay attention to others. We are to notice them and what …

Happy Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day

Memorial Day become an official holiday in 1971. It is to remember those who have died fighting for this country. Today, let us not forget those who have died so that we may have the freedoms we enjoy. Black men are no longer slaves, women can vote. We can pray to whatever God we feel is the correct deity without fear of execution. We can go to a voting poll without retribution of being shot …

Is Attendance Mandatory?

Is Attendance Mandatory?

Bible study groups. Some people say they believe in Jesus Christ yet don’t go to a church service much less join a small group or Bible study. They have all types of excuses. The biggest is they don’t have the time. After all, if I go, I’ll miss part of the football game or my favorite TV show. Another reason stated is that between work and family, I have enough to do. What is your …

The Rain Will Fall

The Rain Will Fall

We all have storms in our lives. It’s a given. No one’s life will be perfect. There might not be enough money at the end of the month to pay all the bills or someone might get seriously ill. This happens for both Christians and non-Christians alike. In John 16:33, Jesus states, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take …

Layering with God

Layering with God

I went out to dinner with family and friends the other night. We had Italian, one of my favorites. The lasagna was calling my name. I love all the different levels used to get the right taste. Sometimes it takes layers to make things perfect. Your skin is another example. Without the layers your insides wouldn’t be protected. And don’t get me started on the wonderful layers of cake. Another thing that has levels to …
