Name that Tune…

Dear Saints, The other day I was with my daughter, Charity.  I had made myself an “old school” play list of some of my favorite R & B artists that I had grown up listening to.  Marvin Gaye, Al Green, the Isley Brothers, Incognito, Earth, Wind & Fire, and one of my favorites, the Spinners, … [Read more…]

Never leave home without this…

February – the month we all ask someone to be our Valentine.  This year we will have to do it without those little candy hearts.  You know the ones I’m talking about, they would contain little messages with words on them like “Be Mine”, “Love You” and my favorite, “Kiss Me”.  Do you remember now?  … [Read more…]

Our outside voice…

Congratulations, you made it to 2019!  There is a reason we are still on this side of the ground.  Let’s find out what that is and then let’s give it everything we got.  This year is going to be a year of growth and I believe God is setting His pieces in place to soon … [Read more…]

Standing in line…

Dear Saints, Here we go again; the time to shop for that perfect turkey is coming upon us.  In just a few weeks we will gather our families around the dining room table and stuff ourselves so much with the delicacies of Thanksgiving, that we will mirror the turkey we just consumed.  Then we will … [Read more…]

the Panic Button

Dear Saints, It’s time to bring out the light weight jackets, and don’t forget the apple butter for your toast as summer has given way to fall.  From the calendar I can see this year slipping away and from most retail stores I can already see that, “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.”  … [Read more…]

Diving in the Dumpster…

September is here and though it is still summer I can feel fall coming just around the corner.  Fall is my favorite time of the year.  I love looking forward to the holidays and then there is football, oh wait, I forget sometimes we no longer have a team.  So then hockey will be starting … [Read more…]

Real Riches

Can you hear that?  It’s the sound of the school buses starting and the other sound you may hear is the groans of the children as this month many will return to the joy of what we parents like to call “school”. Every August we repeat this pattern until the last child we call ours … [Read more…]

Bring on the fireworks!

Dear Saints.     Happy birthday USA!  To celebrate we will do something different this year, we will celebrate the birth of this nation with fireworks!  Wait a second, we do that every year- celebrate the birth of this nation with something that is so Chinese, after all the Chinese were the ones who created … [Read more…]

God Gives Detours…

Dear Saints. June is now here.  Can you hear the song of the air conditioners as they hum during the days and nights?  Theirs is truly a song that doesn’t end until the fall.  June is the month we say good-bye to the spring, (which this year was I believe only a couple days) and … [Read more…]

Who knew the dentist could be this fun???

June is here and it always marks the halfway point of the year.  By now many of us have come to the realization that our New Year’s resolutions weren’t that important and really, who needs to go swimming anyway?  So I don’t have a six pack, but I do have my wit and charm!  That … [Read more…]
