I love the story Nepo shares about the troubled man who visits a sage seeking advice. Confused and suffering, the sage looked deeply into his soul and then said, “You may have either a map or a boat. Which shall I give you?”
Looking around at the many other sojourners, all of whom looked equally...

We began our new bible study lesson on the Book of Romans. In Acts, we see that Saul had his encounter on the Damascus Road with the Lord. He was knocked off his horse and he saw the light. From then on his life changed and wherever he had the opportunity Saul who became known as Paul, preached...

I made a commitment to myself to attend bible study on Tuesday night and I made it. I was super jazzed to be sitting in a crowded room with women on fire for developing a relationship with God. What came up for me while reading and studying on Monday and then again last night was what...

Going to worship with those who love the Lord always fills my heart with a desire to bask and remain and praise. Today was youth...

I woke up this morning feeling loved and in love. In love with God, a man and 3 children, what could be better.

My mother was the one who sent me Donald Ray Pollock's first book, KNOCKEMSTIFF. She had heard him on NPR, called me that day and told me about the interview. Then she read the book and it was all over for her, true love. It's sort of like my daughter with Justin Bieber. KNOCKEMSTIFF is a...

My favorite day has come and is almost gone. Along with a pretty busy week, this was indeed the day I look forward to arriving. I get ready for service by allowing myself time to be alone. In solitude I get to hear the me that speaks only when I am alone. When the inner Yolande speaks it can be...
