Since 2009, I’d stopped doing resolutions and often chose a symbolic focus word to encapsulate what I’d like to accomplish in all facets of my life during that year. My previous words have been focus, discipline, growth, and nurture.

  • Happy Easter 🙏🏽💛
He lives forever in our hearts.

#Easter

Photo shot in Ravenna, Italy
  • On Ash Wednesday, there were less than twenty people in the service I popped into.

I cried because I knew why the pews were empty. I myself rarely go in person these days and listen to sermons virtually.

The evil people have done in God’s name and keep doing in God’s name continues to drive people away.

People who need that love the most. Who need to see God’s reflection in their neighbors.

Hate, exclusion, delusion, xenophobia, wars, genocides, supremacy… the list, long.

All done in God’s name. The very definition of heresy.

On this Good Friday as I remember a savior who paid the ultimate price, my prayer is that my life continues to be a vessel through my work, purpose, talent.

That even when I stumble, God always reaches out Their hand of love to guide me back. 

A savior who hypocrites today will mistreat the very same way because he was brown. A foreigner in their midst.

That is really all I can do. 

Live a life of testimony so people can rediscover God’s grace and goodness 🙏🏽

On Ash Wednesday, there were less than twenty people in the service I popped into.

I cried because I knew why the pews were empty. I myself rarely go in person these days and listen to sermons virtually.

The evil people have done in God’s name and keep doing in God’s name continues to drive people away.

People who need that love the most. Who need to see God’s reflection in their neighbors.

Hate, exclusion, delusion, xenophobia, wars, genocides, supremacy… the list, long.

All done in God’s name. The very definition of heresy.

On this Good Friday as I remember a savior who paid the ultimate price, my prayer is that my life continues to be a vessel through my work, purpose, talent.

That even when I stumble, God always reaches out Their hand of love to guide me back. 

A savior who hypocrites today will mistreat the very same way because he was brown. A foreigner in their midst.

That is really all I can do. 

Live a life of testimony so people can rediscover God’s grace and goodness 🙏🏽
