Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you, he will neither fail nor abandon you – Deuteronomy 31:8 Sooo…I spent this past weekend in Salt Lake City, Utah. I was there on NABA business but was able to venture out to do some touring of the city. Living in Indianapolis, I would say I am used to the changing weather patterns which may include snow one day and 60 degrees the next. Salt Lake, however, threw me for a loop.......

He cuts off every branch of mine that doesn’t produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more. John 15:2 These last couple weeks I have spent more time in the hospital than I probably have my entire life. My cousin has been living with Sickle Cell disease all his life, which apparently has been eating away at his insides. Without going into too much detail, he is in the hospital, right now, being prepped to receive a new liver, intestines and colon, all of which......

I have discovered this principle of life—that when I want to do what is right, I inevitably do what is wrong. Romans 7:21 NLT Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. Galatians 5:25 NLT I am a Gemini. My birthday is June 10th, pretty much right in the middle of the window which may explain a lot if you have ever interacted with me. If you know anything about zodiac signs, you know that Gemini’s are claimed to have dual......

…that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10:9-10 NKJV You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? James 2:19-20 NKJV My husband and I were offered free tickets to the Pacers game recently.......

Acts 16:15 NKJV – And when she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay.”… Confession: I like to eat…a lot! While I promote a healthy lifestyle, mostly eating clean and exercising regularly, I also enjoy fast food, soul food, bar food, Mexican food, Chinese food. I don’t discriminate yet moderation is key! The way I have life set up, I do not keep a lot of junk food at home so when I......

Joshua 24:15 – …choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve… Isn’t it interesting how easy it is for us to make excuses for things we do not want to do? If I don’t feel like going to the gym one day, I will convince myself that I have gotten enough workout days in for the week or that I can make it up tomorrow. If I do not feel like cooking one day, I will convince myself that we have plenty money left in the budget to order take out......

There are various types of leaders. If we are all honest, not everyone is meant or capable of interacting with others. Some people can lead leaders, some can lead followers, others can only lead themselves. The more we learn about ourselves, the more effective we will be in our various roles. There is a responsibility that comes with the influence we have! Be an example – 1 Tim. 4:12b; 2 Thess. 3:6-15; Titus 2:7-8, 1 Pet. 5:2-3 in speech … the way you communicate in manner of life … the way you......
