This morning I woke up with so many thoughts floating around in my head, I said to myself, I should blog this, so here I am this morning, writing out the thoughts as they come.
Rumors: How easy is it to believe a spoken rumor, our natural self brought up in this world of tongue wagging, has taught us it is easier to believe a lie than the truth. We are so easy to blame Satan for everything, I know, because I used too. He is just the vessel that brings a whispered thought, and it is us who deci…

Discouragement and desperation are tools that the enemy uses to keep us from reaching our goal in Christ. From the beginning of time many have given up their dreams and hopes due to the incessant assaults from the enemy. This is why we are admonished in 2 Corinthians 10:5
to cast down every imagination and thought that exalts itself against the knowledge of God.
There are times we will feel like we want to concede defeat. The pressures of life dig at you without mercy. The relentl…

The caterpillar knows his assignment; he understands and recognizes his season of change. He does not fear or fight against it but willingly positions himself to embrace and endure the severe process of metamorphosis.
He does not despise his beginnings because he understands that the matrix of his world as a caterpillar is only a temporary form that carries his future. The ‘caterpillar’ is the larval stage of what he’s been created to be, a butterfly. He knows that beneath his uncomely exterior…

Change, while good, is not always an easy transition. Many of us want change but have a hard time making the necessary adjustments to make it possible.
Think about the caterpillar before its transition into a butterfly. It goes through a rigorous transformation called metamorphosis. During its larval stage it crawls on the ground to nourish on plant life until its pupa stage. When the larva is fully-grown, it stops feeding and begins drifting in quest for a suitable pupation site. Once it has r…

Last year, I had the pleasure of visiting several homes for the Annual Rose Tour in Whitewright. I was awestruck by the diversity of each garden as we went from house to house.
I saw backyards filled with roses, irises, birdhouses, ponds, and many other gorgeous bouquets of plant life. The flowers generated an amazing ambiance that perfumed the air with pleasant aromas. I saw and smelled honey suckles for the first time and had the pleasure of tasting one too.
What struck me the most was the d…

There are “
wildflowers” that grow in their natural state rather than being cultivated in the parks or gardens, yet, they tell of the splendor and brilliance of God’s glorious design. While not all “wildflowers” are bad, God has placed them in unique places, i.e. highways and by-ways, meadows, pastures, and fields. Remarkably, they can also be found in remote and secluded territory.
The Lily of the Valley is a type of believer that grows in the deep and difficult places of life. This serv…

There is a lot of work and responsibility that goes with owning a large piece of land. Everyone can see the weeds, tall grass, and wildflowers if it is not properly maintained or cared for. What’s ironic is that these never-ending menaces do not need our permission to breed, they just do. They automatically develop because this is its function.
Do you know your function? Do you know what you have been created and designed to accomplish in life? While there may be more than one answer to this qu…

In this journey called “life”, God has provided landmarks and signs to help us reach our destination. There are signs of right and wrong directions; we see dead-end and wrong turn symbols, detours, and yield and stops signs that tell us where we are, where we have been, and where we are going. Are we paying attention?
Suffering is inevitable, and as we continue our life on earth, we will encounter sadness or a loss of some kind. The tragedies and negative events we experience in life can either…

Just as the caterpillar is predestined to transform into a butterfly, so are we preordained to become the children of God (John 3:16).
Like the seasons, they come and go. Do you understand that just as winter, spring, summer, and fall all work together to bring about the major transformation of the earth, likewise, the seasons we experience are relevant to our life’s progress? Let’s look at the season we know as winter.
Winter is one of the four temperate seasons of the year. It is the season…

I am amazed that after a good downpour, gardens have a natural ability to "
suck it up". . .that is the excess water that has fallen. After the downpour, a garden usually looks muddy and messy; a typical result from the effects of a storm.
Although the excess invasion of water appears to be harmful at first, it is actually helping the garden flourish. You see, the excess water seeps into inconspicuous crevices that often materialize when the soil has become hard and dry. Once it enters, i…

A productive, healthy, and beautiful garden is the result of proper care on a continual basis.
It is not merely enough to maintain a garden when you feel like it, for behind its outer beauty, much activity is occurring from within. While new flowers are springing forth and roots are re-establishing with each growth spur, there are constant intruders trying to infiltrate its space.
These invaders are part of the community and although they co-habit, they are very harmful…

If you have been devasted by a broken relationship, well, this blogs for you. Are you a woman of God who has been taken for a loop through the Big D - Divorce? Are you trapped in the Lake of Despondency and Despair?
Married myself for almost 2 decades, serving in the ministry, Chrisitan principal, worship leader, etc., I got lost in the LOOP too. The most devastating, unimaginable thing happened to me....I was still in love, he was not. How could God allow this to happen? This is a fair questio…

How many of us have gone out ready to win the world, full of hope, dreams, and ambitions only to return gleaning sheaves of empty hopes and promises? Raped and victimized by this thing call life? That education you invested so much time and money or that marriage of many years that ended up in heart-breaking divorce, the ministry your poured into, the people you faithfully served that turned out to be a disappointment, the business deal that never took off, or the business that went bankrupt?

How are you "Joe the Plumber"?
Tell us in 30 seconds...
We want you to tell us how you are "Joe the Plumber" and why you're supporting John McCain and Sarah Palin in thirty seconds. You could even see your video as an official McCain TV ad.
By now, "Joe the Plumber" is a household name and has become a symbol of Barack Obama's plan to "spread the wealth around." During a recent campaign event in Toledo, Ohio, "Joe the Plumber" asked a simple question and got a surprising answer from the Democr…

MY GUEST APPEARANCE ON SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE
Monday, October 20, 2008 2:56 PM
From: "Governor Sarah Palin"
If you caught my guest appearance on Saturday Night Live this weekend, you may have seen an ad or two (or twenty) from Senator Obama's campaign.
This barrage of advertising is adding up to the most expensive negative ad buy in political history. And these ads are funded with the nearly $200 million the Obama campaign and the DNC raised in September.
With this new money, they'll only step…
