A Lament Living in a broken world
Lord, we turn to you. We turn to you with pain, confusion, anger, and suffering. As we turn on the news, social media, and even talk to our neighbors, it seems we are surrounded by sorrow. We are weary, full of tears. The brokenness of sin around us, the hate in our world frequently, isContinueContinue reading “A Lament Living in a broken world”
Hope Amidst Tragedy
As Christians, we are not blind to injustice, brokenness, and sin in our world. We have encountered the COVID19 pandemic, and recently the murders of Ahumud Aubery and now George Floyd.

Hitting Reset On Your Life Part 1
One of my most memorable Christmas’s was when my grandparents gave me my very own Nintendo Game System. I can remember playing games such as duck hunt, super Mario, and my favorite Mike Tyson Punch-out. The Nintendo game console was big and bulky, but reliable.

Overcoming the Easter Slump
Social media is lighting up with excitement, Easter is this Sunday. If you are a Pastor, this is a high attendance Sunday for many churches.

Rightfully so, as new guests and those who may not know Christ will have an opportunity toContinueContinue reading “Overcoming the Easter Slump”
Can you give an answer?
I would argue in this time we live in, that people of God must and need to be radically equipped with the truth of what they believe, armed with the Love of God, and be ready to give an answer for the hope we have.
You Can’t Do Everything and That’s Okay!
If most of us are honest, we are over scheduled and stressed-out, truly not productive or efficient. For many of us, our escape from that reality is to lose ourselves in the abyss of social media or binge watching our favorite show on TV. The illusion that we can do it all, often drives us away from the very things we desire to do.
How is Marriage after 13 years? Part 2
I remember when I first met my husband. It was on the campus of Dillard University and I was showing him the proper way to give a campus tour. We were purposely partnered together by our work-study supervisors! They were Dillard alum and staff who wanted to continue the legacy! He was such a gentlemenContinueContinue reading “How is Marriage after 13 years? Part 2”
