As I pulled my hot plate from the microwave starving, I couldn't wait to eat. As I agitated the grains of rice & stew with my fork it occurred to me that it might still be too hot for a 1st bite, but I talked myself out of waiting. I wondered, how do you know... Continue Reading →
DEAR DIARY
Today I found myself wondering about my spirituality & the practice of my spiritual faith. Over the years I have gone from cool, to warm, to red hot then back to warm, cool and hot as regards my attendance in church and keeping myself within the assembly of the faithful.

The Power of Vision
In my opinion, having a vision for one's life is imperative. I believe that even from the time when we were babes, we had visions which matured over time. Each vision I think, gives us an idea or inkling of what direction we need to be headed in our lives, and the realization of one vision leads... Continue Reading →
