   Children watch how their parents respond to certain things.    We could get mad at the person driving the car in front of us and get mad at how they are driving. That is when we make the excuse of having road rage in how respond to the next driver.     But it is how we respond that our children are looking at. We are who they get their behavior from when their lives began.   That is why if we flip people off and curse them out, our children are going to follow what we do.     So, I am going to give you an example by tell you what happened this week. My kids must be at school at a certain time, or they will not be able to get breakfast. This particular morning, I got them up late because I overslept. So, I knew they were going to be late, so we got dressed and I took them to Bojangles to get them a biscuit. So, it was right at 8:00am when we got to the school, so I knew they were going to be tardy.   So, they close ...

May 17, 2007 was my wedding day. And though parts of it were not a happy time, when I saw my husband standing at the alter waiting on me on that Thursday night, I was so happy. I was starting my life with this person that I dated for three years.   I was excited to start my journey as his wife, but I had no clue what I was getting my self into.   When I got married, I had this illusion of something I say in the movies. I thought it was going to be all fun and games. We were going to love each other, and we were going to have a happy life and we were not going to have to go through anything.     But that is a different topic for another time.  When we got married, we had to say our wedding vows in front of everyone in the church.     We stood and we said those vows proudly. In front of every one that was there and God, we said those vows.    But who take their wedding vows seriously?    For me, August 2023 those vows took o...

  For those who do not know, I am a Sunday school teacher at my church. I teach the kids 6 to 10 years old. I love teaching kids this age because it’s fun and they are very smart children.   They love to learn new things about the bible and they ask so many questions.      We have been discussing kindness in our Sunday school class and why it is so important to be kind to others. Not just others, but be kind to all kinds.    As I was thinking on my Sunday school lessons a question came to mind.    How much does it cost to be kind to others?    This is a valid question because we see so much hate in the world. People don’t like each other because of their skin color, or they don’t associate with a certain person because of their background.    Why is that?   Do they feel they have the right to mistreat people just because they are different?  Or do they feel like they are better than other people because of w...

               As we are a few days into the New Year 2024, I know everyone is excited to be in a new year so they have their many goals that may or may not get accomplished this year.    But want to encourage you this year to remember that even though it is a New Year, God is still the same God as he was last year, and the year before that, and so on.   See now a days, people want to use the excuse that “God is doing something different this year’’ Or “we got to meet the people where they are at”.    What does that even mean, “meet the people where they at”?  That statement never made any since to me.   But, if we are meeting the people where they are at is contradictory to what God said in his word, no thank you.   To me, it is just an excuse to not do the will of God and use the house of God to become popular.   God want us to bring people to him, but the right way.
