I am often asked by my friends – particularly my White friends, “What can I do?” “How can I make an impact?” “I’m only one person and the issues are so many and big!” ” Never believe that a few caring people can’t change the world. For, indeed, that’s all who ever have.” -Margaret Mead […]
How Is Your Soul?
Do you usually ask people, “How are you doing?” I know I do, expecting that they will tell me truly how they feel. I suspect that most folks will say, “Great!”, “Fine!” Blessed!” And a myriad of other exclamations we randomly toss out without rhyme or reason. But is it true? And are we […]
If not Now…When?
Every day there is something new.
Back To A Place of Peace
Yesterday I painted one of my nails a shade of green. I was looking for emerald green, but my salon didn’t have the color. So, what you see is what I got. But it’s not the color, it’s the significance of the color that counts. I wear the color in honor of my niece – […]
The Question We Christians Don’t Want To Ask
“Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say, It is well, it is well, with my soul.” – Horatio G. Spafford But what if it isn’t?

But I wanted to share a good thing that happened that restored my faith. This morning I […]

James 4:14 (ESV) As a cancer survivor, I can say, without a doubt, that Life Matters! Walking, breathing, laughing, eating, drinking, sharing, loving, basking in the glory of […]
Healing
“You Can’t Dictate How God Will Heal You” – Rev. Tammie Denyse, President/CEO Carrie’s TOUCH There is a story in the Bible about a great man, Naaman, that was inflicted with leprosy. I’m not going to recant the entire story, but you can read it here, 2Kings 5:1-19. Naaman sought out another great man of […]
I Can’t Breathe
I wrote this blog back in November 2015. The recent events have brought all this to mind, again. I have yet to comment on all the activities surrounding the aggressions and fatalities of Black men and women in this country. I choose to remain silent and only voice my feelings in the comfort of my […]
