James 3:11 King James Version Doth a fountain send forth at the same place      sweet water and bitter? The Bible says no. It shouldn't be.  What did Jesus say about the matter? Luke 6:45  King James Version A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. I think that sums it up pretty well.  Regardless of how good we are at fronting, our tongue will eventually show a true reflection of what's in our hearts... God help us!  🙏🏽 ❤

Yes, I saw it.  I heard it.  I discerned it.  It pinched my heart, but I kept it moving and didn't say a word. Many can say the same.  Am I right? What kept us silent?  Love, seeking peace, wisdom, forgiveness, and grace. But dear one, here's a warning: Never ever mistake silence for weakness.  Many have learned that the hard way.  They crossed a line that let loose something they couldn't handle. Bottom line: Treat people right.  Treat them like you want to be treated.  Sound familiar? God help us!  🙏🏽 ❤

I admit I don't understand the angst about the vaccine.  I just don't get it...I really don't.  Shots have been mandated in this country longer than I can remember for the purpose of protecting the people of this nation.  It's written into Florida's statutes.    http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&URL=1000-1099/1003/Sections/1003.22.html  Sunday evening, I ended up channel surfing trying to find Christian radio programming that wasn't talking about the vaccine.  An advertisement for legal counsel used a scripture that supposedly—it doesn’t—supports the right to reject the vaccine.  A preacher railed against the vaccine during his message.  Me?  I surfed and frowned, asking the question, “Where is Christ in all of this?”  Microchips, demonic transmission, DNA alterations...what utter nonsense!  I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again:  The power of the pulpit should NOT be used to p...

 Here's a truth I learned the hard way.   "People don't change, they reveal who they really are."                                                - Not sure... They will wrap up their hurtful behavior in all kinds of beautiful bows--including religious ones.   For the religious ones, I shake my head and think, "Sweetie, God ain't nowhere in that. That's all YOU." Pay attention, clue in on what's really happening, and save yourself some heartache. Don't try to hold onto something that was never there in the first place.

  Wow! Wow! What a ride! Ever told a toddler not to do something and the minute your back is turned they proceed to do that very thing? I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve had to pray some of my son’s friends out of his life.   You know…that kid that everything in you screamed was a bad influence? That contrary toddler and bad influencer were depicted in the rest of my listening sessions.   Countless times, the adults in the room told the “toddler” not to do certain things because the outcome would be bad. What did the toddler do? Exactly what they were told not to do.    The grownups tried to silence and stifle the bad influencer, but they eventually slipped the leash and wreaked havoc anyway. I Alone Can Fix It laid out the timeline for the birth of that “Just say you won” and “Stop the steal” thing. The part I found the most riveting was when the co-authors (Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker) stepped me through the events of January 6 th fr...

Some time ago, I shared I was interested in the audiobook I Alone Can Fix It , penned by co-authors Carol Leonnig and Philip Rucker. I hoped to find out what was happening behind the scenes--from the point of view of those present at the time--that drove the emotions, spiritual responses, and happenings we witnessed in the media. Well…let me tell ya’, it’s been quite a ride so far! I had a few “Oh, so that’s why that happened,” moments. The book kicks off with the pandemic. It beautifully illustrates who knew what when, responses to the situation, and the underlying priority that drove those responses. Here’s a spoiler: The people of this nation were NOT the first priority. Every effort was made toward ensuring the desired poll and election results: withholding information from the public, promoting risky actions because it fed the voter base, pushing quick untested and potentially harmful solutions because the perception of some action was better than no action at all. It’s very...

Church organizations are behaving more like cults than the House of God—the House of Love. If a person isn’t a member of a church and doesn’t walk in step with them in all things—right OR wrong, they ostracize and treat them like they’re unlovable. Folk claim they love people, but more besides those who are a part of their organization…cult…should feel their love. It’s past time to STOP: S Seek Him T Turn from wickedness O Obey the Word of God P Pretend no more Some folk are as prickly as porcupines, but people love and support them ANYWAY in spite of their annoying and tiring stuff, yet they have the audacity to make declarations about who they deem worthy of THEIR love and support. Just…STOP! Promiscuity—heterosexual AND homosexual (yeah, folk know about it)—is going on throughout the church and those folk still stand over the people of God in places of leadership and ministry. Preachers are boldly setting up “harems” in their churches, treating multiple sisters like they’re...
