Welcome to Our Family!

  • He Knows Your Name

    He Knows Your Name “But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob,And He who formed you, O Israel:“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;I have called you by your name;you are Mine.” Isaiah 43:1 (NKJV) It’s refreshing when we cross paths with a friend whom we haven’t seen for some time. We call each other by name and…

  • A Burst of Sunlight

    A Burst of Sunlight I believe it’s safe to say that we have all been in dark places in our lives. It may be a literal place of blackness, but more often than not, it is a time with shadows that confuse us as to which direction to take. “And I will bring the blind…

  • A Cup of Water

    A Cup of Water “For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in My name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.” Mark 9:41 (KJV) Water. Cool and satisfying. It quenches our thirst like no other beverage. As children of God, we want…

  • Seasons Part 1

    Seasons Part 1 “While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.” Genesis 8:22 (KJV) Autumn. It’s my favorite season. Some of the highlights of this period are the cooler weather; shorter days; school is back in session for a new year;…

  • “Are You Okay?”

    “Are You Okay?” My son Kevin Jr has a kind heart and will on numerous occasions ask this question to anyone who he feels is hurting in some way. God created us to love Him and to love one another. (Matthew 22: 37-39 KJV) There are many ways to love others: Helping someone with a…

  • Just in Time

    Just in time God does not keep time as we do. He always existed and has no end. Jesus said in Revelation 22:13 (KJV) “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.” Our Distractions vs His Peace Let’s face it. A large majority of our lives will have…

  • Don’t Stop Praying

    Don’t Stop Praying What is prayer? A Google search reveals that “in Christianity, prayer is a way for people to communicate with God, and is considered central to the Christian life. It can be a two-way conversation where people both speak to and listen to God, and can be spoken, silent, or sung.” PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7 KJV “Do…

  • Forgiveness

    Forgiveness There is healing and freedom when we choose to forgive one another. Jesus gave us the best example on the cross, directing His prayer to His Father all the while people were screaming, “Crucify him!” “Then said Jesus, ‘Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.’” Luke 23:34 King James Version (KJV). …

  • Surrender

    Surrender Last week Kevin and I were honored to welcome my niece Angela and her husband Marcus into our new home during their visit to Baltimore. A couple of nights ago, I was sitting in our living room, sharing some personal struggles regarding our family finances and those of the pantry. We are blessed with…

  • Rest

    Rest Rest. It’s something most of us would like, but many times we don’t take the time to do it. We live in a fast-paced world. It seems there is always one more job, project, or responsibility we must complete. Each of us has 24 hours each day, but for some of us, there still…
