Cheer Up
A couple of weeks ago, while driving back to my office from my lunch break, I started to feel a tad bit melancholy. I began contemplating on some of the events that had transpired in my life over the course of the past several years. I said within myself “Wow, If certain things had not occurred, my life would be problem free and I would be clos…er to living a life of “perfection.”The moment the thought entered my mind, I literally heard God say to me. “No, it would not!” “I made a promise in...

"Break the Silence"
A few days ago, “New Jerseyans” were blessed to experience a burst of sunshine and a sprinkle of spring warmth in the midst of our winter season. It was a joy to experience the brief hiatus from the frigid temperatures and blustery winds that had become our constant companion. Taking advantage of the superb weather conditions, I embarked on a stroll around the grounds of my place of employment in hopes of burning some much needed calories. As I began to walk, I began to allow my spirit to pr...
