overcome and without words
when we’re overcome and without words, the Spirit intercedes on our behalf to God, for our thoughts and heart are already known. take solace in the grace that is bountiful, whether you ask for it or not.
What’s your Twenty?
“What’s your twenty?” is CB radio slang for asking “Where are you?” Today, my eldest son turns 20 and that’s a significant question for him as he delves into the eve of adulthood.
Leaving teenage years can be exciting and scary at once, because freedom suddenly has responsibility coupled with it. People start to expect you to speak, act and walk “Adult.”
Kenn II was born with the character and attributes of a leader and those qualities manifested long ago through his influence, charisma and friendships. I was proud of him as a kid and I’m proud of him now.
He actually does speak, walk and act more mature these days. What’s his twenty? He’s right where he’s always been – in the flesh of the amazing young man I’ve always known he would be. He’s been making a difference since 1994.
Happy Birthday, Kenneth Christopher Bivins II. Dad loves you.

don’t lose heart
though you may toil and labor many days and seem to yield nothing, don’t lose heart. roots to the trees that will soon yield fruit, as a result of your efforts, are growing… even now.

Spencer Bivins is 15
My intelligent, athletic, handsome and all-around awesome son, Spencer, turns 15 today.
To quote him, “This is the day where a legend was born. This is the day that people will remember. I am finally 15. And there’s no looking back.”
I couldn’t agree more. Happy birthday, Legend. Dad loves you.
