Troubled Waters

I woke up this morning treading in some troubled waters.  I found myself yearning to talk to someone about these deep dark thoughts that began to churn up from within what has long since been a relatively peaceful part of me. Yet, I am human and have my moments. This morning was one of them. [...]

The Power of Christ in Your Daily Life

Did you know that January 24th is known as the most depressing day of the year? I did. However, I was too depressed on that day to write about it…okay…not really…and not really funny. However, it got me to thinking how January and February and perhaps into March and April (for those of you who [...]

I’m Blessed To Be A Teacher
