Hey… Happy New Year! Happy Valentine’s! Happy Women’s Month!!! Lol! I can’t believe this is my first post on the blog this year… I’ve been thinking maybe I need to do something different with it, since it ceased being my therapy a couple of years ago… But God […]
I’m of the opinion that it is easier to say sorry when you don’t mean it. For some people, sorry just falls off their lips just as easily as they lie. But as someone who strives to be truthful all the time, I find it hard to apologise […]
Hi all! It’s been a long minute since I wrote here and even longer since I reviewed a book 🙂 Seriously, I missed it, but it couldn’t have been helped. My life is changing. In so many ways, it’s not even funny. I’m just trying to adjust and […]
Lately, the more I think about hell, the more I question the idea of God. It’s a strange thing for a Christian to say, especially one who once held strongly and taught much about hell previously. But the truth is, I haven’t felt much like a Christian, in […]
According to Buddhism, there are for four noble truths, one of which is that suffering is borne from craving, and I can’t but agree with it. Suffering is said to be caused by our “…attachment to the desire to have (craving) and the desire not to have (aversion)” […]
“God loves you,” I say, as I hand over a printed pamphlet containing my testimony to a young child on the street. Her mother snatches the paper from her hands and slams it back into mine, fury on her face.  “You should be ashamed of yourself!”  Just as […]
That Saturday, I took Angela and Lucy to visit with my mother in Boston.  It’s a trip we haven’t taken in many years.  I had stayed away after Lucy’s birth, unable to understand nor stand my mother’s continued faith in God. But now, I longed to see her. […]
I hear a sound in the distance. It’s dull at first, and then becomes sharper, piercing through my brain until my eyes open. I open them wide, as I take in my surroundings. Where am I now? The ceiling looks very familiar. I turn my head sharply to […]
We were immediately flooded with light; indescribable brilliance. And I knew I was in the presence of God. I was temporarily blinded by the light until my eyes adjusted to the brightness of it. Pretty soon, I could identify moving bodies and structures in the distance. The light […]
I’ve come to the realisation that I am disloyal. I understand that that is not an admirable trait. People, families, organisations and societies like people who are loyal. Who stay in line and defend the image of the people they represent, no matter what. Nobody likes a traitor. […]
He says, “judge not, unless you be judged,” (Matt 7:1) yet He judges us. He says, “do not repay evil with evil, but repay evil with good,” (Rom 12:17-21) yet He devises and proclaims evil for those He has judged as deserving. As a Christian, I can understand […]
I’ve been reading the book of Jeremiah, and it’s filled with God’s proclamation of judgement, not only on the Israelites, but on other nations like Moab, Babylon, and Egypt. As I’ve been reading it, I’ve been overwhelmed by the amount of times God said He planned evil for […]
Samuel rose up and walked towards the ocean. I got up and dusted some sand off me. When I turned back to follow him, there was a path created in the waters. I can’t say if I was freaked out or in awe, but I didn’t pause for […]
That question hit me like a ton of bricks. Of course this was more than my death. This was a woman I built a life with…only for her to discover me at my passing. It wasn’t like this was something I planned. It wasn’t even habitual. Kim was […]
We walked through the doors of my high school auditorium into the cafeteria of my university campus. The hustle and bustle was as it always was, with freshmen moving in their clicks; girls in their groups and guys in theirs. It wasn’t long before I spotted myself sitting […]
