The Breakfast Club

The Breakfast Club—our church family gathering for the last Sunday brunch of the year. Morning light meets grateful hearts as we come together, open to the graces waiting to be received and the blessings meant to be shared. May our time together be filled with joyful conversations, warm laughters, and thankful hearts. May our words be kind, our laughter sincere, and our fellowship, faith, and love, a quiet prayer of thanks. Nourished in body and spirit, may we carry this joy into the day ahead. Wishing you a beautiful and deeply blessed day. Happy New Year!

The Sugar in Your Lemonade

They say the water is fresh, but it tastes like lava. Like an orange flame in the sky, torture souls in the ground. It is the water fountain at the edge of the road, cars and people going by, and no one is saying hi. It cries intoxicatingly, bleeding profusely for a clean bed, a beautiful skirt, and a clean underwear, but no one cares. Stinky feet marching through like soldiers in the battlefield, livid daylight testimonials pearcing through the book pages like a salad on the menu, rocks giving it a purpose to live. Shut up, they utter, anguish dribbling in her face we see, dry tears dripping through yesterday’s scars for today’s newspaper is heard on the loud speaker. It bleeds still, I see it, you see it, they see it but no one seem to care as it appears I can’t seem to stop the train from rolling through the mud but He can. So, we wait!

Sometimes, your soul just needs to be fed.

Hello Spring!

Spring is here. It arrives today at 5:24 p.m ET . The official first day and it marks the “spring equinox” in the Northern Hemisphere. In the spring, grass is greener, life comes alive, flowers bloom, birds are singing, flocking back north, the air is cool as a jean jacket, rain drops soaking the air, sun shines through the locked door, fashion comes alive parading window displays, leaves are dancing, love is in the air, weddings are thriving, blended wind notes of an accordion, come to play, it is fun!
