Ask the majority of women to describe their ideal engagement ring and most will include a large diamond in the details. Movie legend Marilyn Monroe once said, “Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend.” Given the fact that it is the hardest natural material, it’s no wonder the Greek word for diamond means “unbreakable.” Hence, the Continue Reading
In a battle, surrendering is an acknowledgement of defeat. Many of us, at one point in time, may have wanted to collapse in defeat when under attack by the evil one. A definition of attack is, “to try to harm, defeat or capture someone.” 1 Peter 5:8 NIV warns, “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy Continue Reading
Years ago, I read an email that told the story of a man who had died and awoke in the presence of God, inside His holy temple. The King of Kings brought him to a room full of exquisitely wrapped presents. Curiously he asked, “Lord, what are these for?” The Almighty Creator sadly looked at Continue Reading

Storm Chasers have been around for a number of years. The first recorded instance was in 1956 when David Hoadley began tracking thunderous rainstorms in his native state of North Dakota. I would venture to say, all of us have chased after something, at least once. Many have run after fame and fortune while others Continue Reading
When I was younger, I loved watching Scary movies. The crazy thing is that I would watch them even though they gave me nightmares for days. Today, I’m happy to report that I no longer have any interest in horror flicks. I’ve since learned that as a Believer of Jesus Christ, we have to be Continue Reading
One of the things I miss most about Maryland is working out with my good friend, Aisha. As believers, we often discussed our favorite stories from the Bible. I remember, one day I confessed to her how little time I seemed to have to study the Word of God. She, a married, mother of three Continue Reading
This year, I joined a new church. I not only enjoy the teachings of our Senior Pastor but I have grown to care for some of the members as well. One particular Faithful Servant of God is “Ms. Phyllis.” She is an older lady with silver white hair, cropped in a classic cut. Her makeup Continue Reading
On Thursday, June 18th, I had an extremely busy day and was really looking forward to an early night of rest. For some weird reason, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t fall asleep. Shortly before Midnight, I received an email from my bank notifying me that there had been some suspicious activity on Continue Reading
