Responsibility Comes with Relationships!

I have never seen an episode of This Is Us. Hey, don’t judge me! I can explain. I tend to avoid shows, videos, and movies where people say, “Get the tissue.” That’s almost a guarantee that I’m going to scroll on by. However, I’m conflicted about This Is Us because, […]

Are you playing or PRODUCING in the Dirt?

I love to sing, but I’m not a singer. Perhaps I make that distinction because I’m from Chicago and was exposed to excellent singing from a young age. I’ve designated myself a “choir” or “background” singer because for years, whenever I sang alone, I couldn’t be counted on to stay […]

Joyful Noise

Recently I spent nearly 35 hours traveling in a car over the course of 3 days. I generally don’t mind road trips, but this was more time in a car in a short time than I’d ever done. Oddly enough, despite fatigue and stiffness, the bulk of my frustration came […]

Move Over or Go with the Flow!

When’s the last time you gave yourself a little pat on the back and said: Good job? My most recent post encouraged you to press release on your gifts and accomplishments. That may seem strange if you don’t fully recognize your achievements as such. I used to be the same way […]

Good Job

What’s holding up your press conference? Sure, a press conference is an interview to make a major announcement or answer questions about a recent or upcoming event. And typically, folks who hold press conferences are prominent. Well, have you forgotten? God told Abram, I will make your name great. Do […]

Time to Press RELEASE

I was honored to lead a women’s Bible study recently. The night before, I sat with all my notes and I could hear the whisper of Holy Spirit telling me where to chop and cut. Originally, I was thinking and writing from a place above the experience of what I […]

Look back…and Wonder

Remember playing “keep-away” back in the day? I know I’m dating myself, but surely I’m not alone! Maybe you were fortunate enough to be one of the “perpetrators,” keeping the prized item just out of reach. Or perhaps you were in the middle, racing back and forth, desperate to end the madness. […]

No more back & forth!

A couple weeks ago, we enjoyed The SPA Experience 2017. Were you there? The turnout and the God encounter was more than I imagined! Overwhelmed and grateful, I think I cried off and on for 2 days after it was over. As with most of us as we get close […]

It doesn’t pay to rest-LESS!

I’m an expert at some things that I wish I weren’t. Like acting, even when there’s no camera. For instance, I know how to keep my facial expression the same when someone hurts my feelings. And I know how to conduct myself around someone who broke my heart or my […]

The Great Pretender

When I was around 10 or 11, I broke my wrist. After reviewing the x-rays, the doctor decided I didn’t need to have it reset, so they casted it and sent me on my way. Six weeks later when they removed the cast, my hand looked like something out of […]
