Leftovers. You either love them or despise them. Cold pizza, um yes please. But what about your personal leftovers? The bits and pieces that remain after a meal of carnality or after a meal of spiritual food. What is your meal of choice? Are you dining with the Heavenly Master or does Satan have you a seat …

Love Thy Neighbor
It's a decision really, the choice to love your neighbor,your friend, your family, yourself. There are many people who you cross paths with in the span of your life. The cashier, the UPS man ( hello Amazon), the beggar, the church member. Are you leaving a legacy of love? You cross paths with yourself every day. Do …
Satan’s Burn
Charred. Scorched. Ashen. Painful. Searing. Blackened. Malodorous. These are the effects of a burn. Varying degrees of pain and damage occur when the human body is burned. Burns can be as minor as a small blister or as severe as death. Satan enjoys seeing our spiritual wounds when he takes aim with his fiery darts. Darts …

Only because of the 20,000 things that went wrong before that. The ability to properly rationalize things becomes weakened when Satan is …
Did I just do that?
Yes, as a matter of fact, I did. Unbeknownst to anyone that could taint my little exuberant heart, I did it. I started a blog, in hopes of sharing what God has shared with me. From the spiritual highs to the spiritual valleys, we have all been there. Some we camped out in and others …
