It would be easy for me to believe that maybe God is not so good, especially as I have suffered so much loss, pain, and trouble. But in the triumphs in my life, I have experienced God's unfailing love, protection, healing, and provision. Knowing that I have not done anything to deserve His help, I... Continue Reading →
I wrote this for Mindlovemisery's Menagerie Tale Weaver #197, a look at someone's life journey, and I wanted to share it with our followers on this blog. I had wrote about my son but I never put a picture to accompany the blogs, because I couldn't cope with seeing it, but now I am better... Continue Reading →
Alan gave up his job as a stockbroker to become a clown. In his experience, people tended to love clowns, with their funny faces, big feet, big noses, and carnations that squirted water. Clowns performed all kinds of foolish antics to make people laugh. But, lately, it's tough to get a laugh the old-fashioned way,... Continue Reading →
For the first time in 50 years, I am afraid of being a black person in America! After Dr. King was murdered, I worried about being killed because someone who had never met me felt that I did not belong in the country that I love. I remember quite vividly when a black male and... Continue Reading →

This means that we don't generally think in terms of being blessed until we speak to someone in a worst situation than we find ourselves, which is what happened to me. As I approach my 67th birthday in 10 days, I am so grateful for the modicum of health... Continue Reading →
I had been baptized at nine years old, but I had never truly prayed to God out of a serious need for help until I experienced domestic abuse as a teenager. His answering my prayers convinced me further of the love of God. Last week, we examined Psalm 107, verses 1-22, and this week, I... Continue Reading →
I spotted the Eiffel Tower for the first time as our tour bus rolled into Paris in 1997, and I could not keep my joy inside. I screamed for others to see it off in the distance. That night, I stood under it, amazed at the sheer size of it, as cars passed under it!... Continue Reading →
Some people don't pray because they don't think that anyone hears them, especially when their troubles linger. It is an act of faith to believe that a loving God does hear our cries. I am a living witness that not only does God hear, but He acts on our behalf. I have the advantage of... Continue Reading →
Every day I feel as though I am leaving something undone that I was born to do, a task that only I am qualified and equipped to do. Morning slips into afternoon, and I have not accomplished anything of value, at least that is how I feel. Then, night is upon us, and all that... Continue Reading →
