Who ever knew that I’d have a lot in common with a rat? Well, aside from having the nickname Ty-Rat as a child, I am a lot like Remy. Remy, a rat and the lead character in the children’s animated film Ratatouille and I both have highly developed senses of taste and smell. This enables […]
Intel’s fastest PC processing chip does about 3.5 GHz. Perhaps my brain was clocking 8 GHz. Thoughts about managing people, projects, homework, housework, spiritual warfare, tenants, ministry events, oh not to mention my own health, appointments, helping others and the list goes on and on. Then He gently whispered, “I will lead you beside […]
The three attacks came. Right on the heels of each another. Within 48 hours, three incidents that completely floored me. I was under attack. I am a person who walks around with rose-colored lenses on. I hope for the best and believe the best about people. So I was completely caught off guard when […]
Adoration. Glorification. Exaltation. Worship. We were created to worship the true and living God. What an honor and a privilege to give Him my absolute best.

They were calling out to me. In all their hot, oily, salty splendor, those spuds hollered my name. Such was the case when I walked past that Five Guys Burgers and Fries joint. Yield not to temptation. Score one for team healthy! I was chatting with some ladies in my Women’s Group and one […]
“Relax! You’re wearing your shoulders for earrings.” This amusing quip was relayed to be by a friend. And she is absolutely correct. Some days I feel I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders so to counterbalance the weight I hunch my shoulders. Needless to say my trapezius are well defined. But I […]
“I want to be seen green Wouldn’t be caught dead, red ‘Cause if you are seen green It means you got mean bread.” So goes a line from a song from one of my favorite movies, The Wiz. I feel like I’m seeing green. Most mornings can find me starting the day with a […]
Riding bikes together from Roxbury to Harvard Square and back. Whatchamacallits, Smartfood Popcorn and Sicilian pizza.
