Hey, Momma. Can we talk for a bit? I know I might not have met you before, but oh how I wish that I could talk with you face-to-face. If I could, I would invite you over to my home. After you got your kiddos settled playing with my kids, I would tell you to come and sit down on …
A Prayer for the New School Year
As thousands of students and educators head back to school today in our school district and all around our city (and many more thousands already started back to school a couple of weeks ago), I want to pray a special prayer of protection and provision over all of them.

How to Survive When You are in a Spiritual Desert
In July, we had multiple weeks when we had no rain. It was in the upper 90’s and even 100 degrees a few days with 1000% humidity but not an inch of rain. None. It was so hot and so dry. Our grass started to die, but oddly enough, the weeds began to flourish. As I watched a handful of …
