Lincoln’s Decade

The most important mark I will leave on this world is my son. Lincoln turned 10 years old. (Where has the decade gone?) The last 10 years have been the best of my life – not the easiest – but, by far, the best! In the past 10 years, I’ve cried more tears than the […]

A Professor Called Pain

Pain is a professor. Don’t run from pain. How do we run? We numb. We reach out for a drink, a pill, or we scroll, scroll, scroll. (I know I’m guilty as charged.) Sit with pain until you learn why it’s there. Let it drive you to prayer. Ask why am I experiencing this? Is […]

Shady People

Every protagonist needs an antagonist in their story. Trust me. As difficult as it may be at present – in the end – they make you better. May I venture to say, that it might even be impossible to fulfill your God-given purpose without their antagonism. It was so for Jesus. So dip the bread […]

Respect your roots

This is my Grandmother at age 13. She was half Cherokee. Her proud father would have her wear nothing less than her traditional native attire – everyday. In early 20th century Oklahoma, this made her an outcast and a target. In those days, signs still hung in storefronts reading ā€œNo Dogs or Indians Allowed.ā€ I […]
