Matters of the Heart – Part 3: Slave to Routines
I missed it, y’all. I missed it, big time. Since March 2020, there has only been a few nights when I missed my 11:30 pm-12:30 am date with God. It’s in my calendar “Time with God”. The minute that 15 mins before alert goes off, I begin shutting down what I am doing to ensure […]
No More Tomorrows

Why the Worry?
Recently, I accidentally sent a full month’s salary to a friend. Following the error, the account I used for expenses had a noteworthy balance of $0.02. To say I panicked when I realized my error would be the understatement of the year. However, I am not one to just sit and dwell on the problem […]

I Still Believe
“What do you mean, ‘If I can’?” Jesus asked. “Anything is possible if a person believes.” – St. Mark 9:23 Earlier today, a YouTube notification led me to the trailer of a movie called “I Still Believe” that spoke to me. I wrote down the name of the movie, promising myself that I would watch it towards […]
