Happy Father’s Day 2014… To My Heavenly Father
Father’s Day has never been my favorite holiday. In fact, it’s a holiday that used to cause deep-rooted sadness in my heart. Father’s Day is a “wonderful” day for people who were blessed with wonderful fathers, but for those of us whose fathers rejected, abandoned, abused, or neglected us… It was certainly not enjoyable.

I Trust “Him” With My Heart
Recently I spent a week at Liberty University for an intensive in the pursuit of earning my degree as a mental health counselor.

When To Confront
You ever get the feeling someone is judging you and they don’t know you enough to judge you, in the first place? Have you ever been hurt by another’s casual and unplanned attack on your personal character? Don’t get me wrong, I am a sinner, and I have a lot of becoming more like Christ…

I’ll Never Forget
September 11, 2013. 12 years ago today, evil reigned over our country, like a dense blinding fog. The Twin Tours were hit by terrorists and thousand of people were killed.
