How to earn Jesus’s Love….

Seasonal Poetry: Perfect Christmas

PERFECT CHRISTMAS Upon this Christmas night, a young girl sat under the midnight stars, Dreaming and wishing, upon the one that seemed to twinkle so bright. She wished for a Christmas that was perfect…. just right. For this year had been long, full of twists and turns, A few heartaches, and even some burns… In

Religion and Spirituality: Which One? Or are they the same? Do we need to choose?

Religion and Spirituality: Which One? Or are they the same? Do we need to choose? Each individual is here for a purpose. We are all on a journey… God has provided a path for all of us… It is up to us whether we choose to follow that path or not. For most of my

Life on Pause: Looking Back

Bless me….”Life on Pause” blog, for it has been awhile since my last post. I’ve been busy with life things, pursuing interests and working. Everything may come to a close next month. A little over two years later, there might be some closure. Closure on the outside, but not quite on the inside. My mind

Life on Pause: You are in the right place at this moment.

A close friend told me something the other day that I have heard before – and sometimes believe myself – “You are right where you need to be at the present time.” As humans, we experience a multitude of life changes throughout our lives… They begin the moment we let out our first cry into
