I pull out the pages weathered thin by time It wasn't written by the sages but still my memories climb of the storyteller who penned the names of a long forgotten feller Written across a branch called James.

The Beauty within

I stated matter of factly while I was rolling this contraption that reminds me of a tiller you would use to … Continue reading The Beauty within
THE MOMENTS THAT CHANGE EVERYTHING
The New England Patriots are the world champions. It is now the day after. The 2016-2017 NFL football season is officially behind us, along with all the life lessons that the season taught us. Sorry to be using football allegories for this post. I tried to soften it up with a picture of flowers, but … Continue reading THE MOMENTS THAT CHANGE EVERYTHING
Disgrace becomes grace
Isn't it funny how changing up a few letters in a word transforms a word into a whole new entity. Take the word dog for instance. Exchange the o for an i and the word becomes dig.

Road Closures
Today I sit and watch President and First-Lady Trump entering and exiting their cars. Out going President and First-Lady Obama will vacate one home and head to their next home.

God’s Spirit was moving over the water
The baker takes out her ingredients. Eggs, check. Flour, check. Sugar, milk, baking soda, cocoa powder. Everything needed to make a homemade chocolate cake. Yum. But what if the baker had none of these ingredients in her cupboard? What if she had to create these ingredients out of nothing? Chew on that situation a while. … Continue reading God’s Spirit was moving over the water
