The Grocery-Guide for Dating

We have all been to the grocery store at some point or another. Not all of us enjoy grocery shopping and most of us attack the daunting task a little different.

A single gift

Enjoying the gift of singleness is all wrapped up in your perspective. Your outlook will change the game. It’s so easy to go about life like a kid on Christmas morning. He wrote down a list of about ten toys he wanted for Christmas, but on the top of that list in bold letters, circled […]

Color of the soul

I will never be loved by, I won’t be considered for, I will not even be noticed simply because of the color of my skin. Sometimes I wonder if we believe that we all have souls. From birth to now, my mind has been influenced to think the lighter the complexion, the prettier you are. […]

Forget the sound. Focus on the heart.

If there’s one thing I’m extremely insecure of, it’s singing. I cringe at my voice. Yet, I began to play this song one day and I didn’t care what I sounded like. Or looked like. It’s all about Jesus. And I want my entire life to be about him, not about me or my insecurities.

Be free, my friend

I present to some and introduce to others a three-letter word, glorified and despised, ran to by some and fled from others…the notorious S-I-N. Not to spend much time explaining what sin is, I’ll save some time by giving the most basic definition. Sin is “missing the mark”, that is, missing the mark of perfection. […]

THE SECRET

Music was not a natural gift. That is, I was not born into a family with extraordinary musical talents. In fact, my voice could never and still cannot make out a melody without cracking any glass that witnesses such tragic noise. As a child who longed to be musically inclined, singing was not the answer. […]
