  • You Are In My Thoughts

    Recently, within the past 2 months, I lost 3 friends who I knew from back-in-the-day. I wrestle with my emotions as they still run rampant and have not quite settled back to a place of normalcy.

  • Courage On The Frontlines

    As the death toll of souls swell, surge, and soar well beyond belief, our best and brightest in the mighty Mecca of medicine are frantically scouring, scavenging and scraping to gather all remedies and cocktails as serum to solution, subside and stem Coronavirus’ unstoppable stampede’s deathblow.  Furthermore, there is talk about the inescapable “rolling apex” Continue reading

  • God Is In The Boat

    God, this morning we approach your presence with great guilt, angst and doubt, as we are estranged from you because of our ego.  Now we must let go of our ego, as we are driven to our knees before your throne of grace in hopes that we may find tidbits of boldness and morsels of Continue reading
