Lost and Found
The shrill scream caught my attention immediately. It was the kind that would turn any mother’s head…and even though I wasn’t a mom yet, I had lived enough life around little people I knew that particular kind of scream meant terror. Someone was freaking… Continue Reading “Lost and Found”
It’s Not a Contest
Don’t be threatened by someone else’s talents, gifts, or abilities. There is a downfall that often plagues people in leadership: other people’s successes. I’ve met plenty of people who are threatened by another person’s success in their same field of work. Pastors can be… Continue Reading “It’s Not a Contest”
Burning My Plow
I had been asking for a sign. For God to speak to me about the future and His purposes in ministry. Truth be told, I know I can’t do both full-time PCM (Polished Cornerstones Ministry) and full-time Prison ministry. But who wants to say… Continue Reading “Burning My Plow”

Homies
I know her back story and she knows mine. Our spirits connect at a different level…even though we are about as different as could be. I am young. She is old enough to be my grandma. I am short. She is tall. I have… Continue Reading “Homies”
It’s Called Mercy
“I’ve made a mess of my life.” The woman sitting in front of me tried blinking back the tears to no avail…
Be a Door Holder
For the last five years, I’ve had a yearly motto. At the end of each year, I review what God has taught me. I haven’t learned fully each theme, but I always walk away different, changed and challenged by His call. Last year was… Continue Reading “Be a Door Holder”
