Goats VS Sheep

Last week we had a guest speaker at my church and he mentioned on how we do not want to be a goat. Now, I knew the context he was going for, however, maybe being a gymnast mom made me pause because my mind immediately thought of Simone Biles who is generally called a goat.…

1 minute 35 seconds

This is not my normal uplifting and encouraging message, but I felt this in my spirit that I had to discuss it. Because I think we need a heart check and a time check in our lives and in our society. In Charlotte, NC there was a beautiful young Ukranian immigrant named Iryna Zarutska. From…

AI Replacing Humans Pt 2

I was recently perusing through Facebook and I came across this caption from a friend’s feed that floored me. Now, I am not going to lie. Looking at that, my first initial response was…are we entering the Matrix? I mean seriously, that is what I was seeing in my mind. Those fields of machines growing…

Know your identity

I really enjoy the show called This Is Us. I became very drawn to this show because of the family dynamics that are so realistic. But one thing that really catches me is the character Kate. She struggles very much with her weight and finding who she is outside of her weight. I can relate…

Heartaches and Bad Tastes

My heart has ached so much for the people in the beautiful state of Florida, the great state of Texas and all others affected by the hurricanes. My heart also goes out to all of those that are affected by the wildfires out in the west. But even more so, my heart grieves over some…
