The cards that life deals....

Like a game of cards, life often deals unexpected plays at you. So what do you do with the cards you get? Cry ? Complain? Throw a fit? Or do you sit at the game table and begin to wish you had the cards the other players are dealing with? No! Every player knows that at every card game, you take what you get and play. So if at a simple game we apply basic sense of reason why should it be any different with the challenges we are confronted with everyday in life? Every game has its duration and...

Happy Mother's Day

Proverbs 31:10 -31 10 A wife of noble character who can find?     She is worth far more than rubies. 11 Her husband has full confidence in her     and lacks nothing of value. 12 She brings him good, not harm,     all the days of her life. 13 She selects wool and flax     and works with eager hands. 14 She is like the merchant ships,     bringing her food from afar....

How to look dapper @ 70

I recently saw a picture of an elderly gentleman dressed up and ready to attend a church service. I thought to myself, “Wow, I’m half his age, and he’s in much better shape than I am!” That made me wonder: “What’s my body going to look like when I’m that age?” I suspected it may not look as good, so I studied his lifestyle and decided to make some changes to mine.

A Child's Faith

I heard a story as a child, long ago when I attended children bible club as a little girl.

Go with the flow

 This is an interesting conversation for me. Every time I hear someone talk about purpose, I wonder, “Just how much influence can you have on how life turns out?” When you watch the movie Hercules, you see how a man defies prophecies and charts his own life’s course. When you watch the movie Troy, you see how another man, Achilles, goes against prophecies, but his life ends up just as it was prophesied. And when you read some self-help books, you see a lot of examples of people in our ti...

The Power of Encouragement

Written by Olushola Osinubi. My pastor spoke some words I now seek to share.  The power of encouragement, rare but true, he said. It was about a certain duo, husband and wife. A short tale no less, but quite true: A certain man and woman decided to travel some distance to see relatives.

Now as this fine...
