Last week, my Sista-friend, Lynn, shared with me an amazing epiphany. We discussed how we as believers, are called to be a light in this dark world. She explained that figuratively speaking, there are two kinds of lights that people have within the Body of Christ, Electric or Gas. Now, it should go without saying Continue Reading
The Solar Eclipse seems to be the hot topic of today. It’s sort of a big deal; given that the U.S. hasn’t experienced a Total Solar Eclipse in 38 years. It seems like a lot of fuss for something that on average doesn’t last more than 7 minutes and 32 seconds. Nevertheless, scientists and curious Continue Reading
One of the most controversial topics in the U.S. today is the Affordable Care Act (ACA), otherwise known as Obamacare. It is a federal mandate, which was signed into power by President Barack Obama on March 23, 2010.

Since it’s summer, there is always a reason to celebrate with family and friends. However, there are three party crashers that we never want to show up. They are none other than the demonic Spirits of Discouragement, Entitlement and Misperception. I refer to them as “The Messy Three. There’s a reason I call them “Messy.” Once they make their exit, you Continue Reading
Last week was very challenging for three of my dearest friends. Each one is pursuing a career path that they believe God has chosen for them. However, all of them allowed a Spirit of Doubt to slither in and attack their faith. I, of course, can’t judge them because I, too, have been guilty of Continue Reading
Long ago, the iron cad fist of Jim Crow laws publicly ruled the rural South. Separate and unequal were as common to African-Americans and as flies are at a summer barbeque. I intentionally use the word, “publicly” because people were more open with their racism during this time. Today, it’s often the same soup but Continue Reading
“Ms. White, can you go back to the Waiting Area, we will also need you to do an Ultrasound.” I adjusted the garment that I was given to wear and slid off the Examination table. While I headed to the door, I glanced back over my shoulder at the screen where the black and white Continue Reading
Last Wednesday night was a bitterly cold night in North Dallas. After rushing through the frigid winds, I breathed a sigh of relief when I finally reached the shelter of my car. The heat from the driver’s seat warmed me like an electric blanket. I was just about to exit the church parking lot, when Continue Reading
