Harder Living is Better Living
The story is about Betty Crocker Instant Cake Mix. Most of us are familiar with the stuff. Bought in a box at the grocery store, all it requires is the addition of oil, water and an egg.

Just Doing My Thang!
One day my mom asked me to do the dishes – and I absolutely hate doing the dishes! I don’t know why, but for some reason I just don’t like dirty dish water. And my mom knows I hate doing dishes but she asked me to do them anyway. So, I proceeded to wash the dishes, and I tried to make them clean as possible and do a good job so that my mom would be pleased and possibly never ask me to do the dishes again. When I was finished...

There Comes a Time
Appointments are set, and kept. Set and broken. Rescheduled and juggled to the whim and fancy of the unmindful and inconvenienced. However, appointments within the realm of the supernatural are the pre-ordained celebrations of the majesty of God’s power. For every blessing in your life, there is an appointment waiting. Ecclesiastes 9:11 (Solomon writes, ) I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor...
Tell Me, Did You See Me?
Did you see Me in the eyes of the overweight girl you disdained today with words of scorn causing pain? Tell Me, did you see Me? Did you see Me in the chains stretching from the young man’s ears to his nose? Tell Me, did you see Me? Did you see Me in the hair colored neon orange on the young lady you passed? Tell Me, did you see Me? Did you see Me in the eyes of the young man in the army jacket pushing a broom down the school...
