Good Morning Ladies (and few gents), Today’s devotion included below “God is not in the Coincidence Business” is a reminder from GiG Sharon that, “Many times when something seemingly bad happens in our lives, we need to remember that God is the director of the drama.” Yup, we’re the supporting cast and not the star so stay in our lane. It’s Monday and time to share the 16th Catechism truth. “4 Everyone who sins is breaking God’s law, for all sin is contrary to the law of God.

Dear Friend, Color blindness, also known as color vision deficiency, is the decreased ability to see color or differences in color. Growing up I remember my father in intense moments of persuasion over the colors black, dark green, and navy blue. He would be so adamant that the black pants were navy blue and didn’t match his outfit. I couldn’t see what he saw. You could hear the frustration in his voice. No matter how hard someone else wanted him to see the true color he coul

Dear Friends, II Timothy 3;16-17 (amp), "Every Scripture is God-breathed (given by His inspiration) and profitable for instruction, for reproof and conviction of sin, for correction of error and discipline in obedience, (and) for training in righteousness (in holy living, in conformity to God's will in thought, purpose, action). So that the man of God may be complete and proficient, well fitted and thoroughly equipped for every good work. We recently purchased a cash car whil

Good Morning Ladies (and few gents), Today’s devotion included below “From the Cradle to the Cross” is a reminder from GiG Gwen that, “The story of Christmas is the ultimate story of life, of hope, of freedom. The beautiful and mysterious intersection of humanity’s depravity and Divinity’s provision. A complex invasion of darkness by light. By love. By a love that breathes life and brings beauty.” May the familiarity of the story not breed contempt in our hearts today. It’s

Dear Friend, Confession Moment: In staff meetings I’ve been guilty of checking emails or grading papers during a meeting. All the while telling myself that I can listen (attentively), receive the information fully, and do what I want to do. Sad to say I was lying to myself... Sometimes when we have more than one thing to do at the same time we tell ourselves we will simply multitask. Sorry to burst your bubble but technically we really can’t do it. Our brains were wired and

Dear Friends, Shalom to each of you! Shalom is the Hebrew word for “peace”, but Shalom has a deeper meaning. Let’s dig a little dipper in Shalom (peace). So that when we see the word “peace” in the bible we will have a better understanding of what that “peace”entails in the light of Shalom. According to Strong's Concordance 7965 Shalom means completeness, wholeness, health, peace, welfare, safety soundness, tranquility, prosperity, perfectness, fullness, rest, harmony, the

Dear Friend, I follow a photographer on Instagram. He titles his page Humans of New York. He goes around New York taking pictures of people. He posts the pictures with their stories. This past week a story was done on Danielle Helena. Her post read, I'm a singer and song writer. And a bartender. And a babysitter. On weekends I host four course dinner parties for $65 a platte. And I make soap to sell online. And candles. And tea baths. And hair conditioner. And shampoo. Basica

Dear Friend, What are you meditating on? I had to ask that question, because at the moment, I had to ask myself that. I know that whatever is in my heart, will come out of my mouth. I also have discovered whatever is in my heart, is what I have been meditating on. Please check out the following devotional on Contemplation, let it bless you, as it has blessed me. Contemplation Open Heart, Mind, and Body Sunday, December 9, 2018 We may think of prayer as thoughts or fee

Leaving the Land of Disappointment - Sharon Jaynes Today's Truth - Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance, John 20:1 Friend to Friend - Sometimes you expect you’re getting a Rachel and you wake up with a Leah. Okay, I know that example might connect better with a guy, but you get the point. Let me try that again. What do you do after you’ve crossed the Red Sea of

Dear Friend, It is so hard for me to let people go. I am not good at saying goodbyes, I don't like when seasons change, and I will be honest I want to love you and have you in my life forever. I have learned that people get to go that this is their journey too, and they have the right to chart their own course and go their own way. If you want to go, I have to let you go, I can't hold you prisoner, or I have found out that I imprison myself. I have come to realize often letti
