IAMFORGIVEN

Look what I got!

Two men had just walked through the gates of heaven to see a sign that said: “GET YOUR TREASURES HERE”. They both jumped in line to see what they would receive. The first man walks up to the desk and the clerk asks, “What was your name on earth?” He replied “Modest Jones”. The Clerk…

Will you be forgotten?

We are but a vapor and then forgotten. As much as I want to believe that my life means so much more, the reality is that within a couple generations I will be forgotten. I will be a piece to my family lineage that is never thought about or remembered. That is the reality! Only…

Put to Death all that is unhealthy!

It seems like every where we turn now a days, somebody is diagnosed with some sort of life threatening disease. I have experienced this first hand in my family with my dad being attacked with cancer. That was the first time that I saw a disease take over a body and destroy what was once…

ONE YEAR OLDER

My birthday was yesterday and I realized that I am one year older. Funny how that works! Each year God takes you through a journey that will grow you, teach you and allow you to gain more wisdom. The older you are, the more life experience you have, and that can either be good or…

He was lonely!

His head was down texting away with not having a clue what was going on around him. When he was done with that text he would immediately check his Facebook to see if anybody had sent him a message. Nothing! So he looked up for a little bit and then immediately started to look at…

YOU OWE ME!

Nowadays, it seems like everybody lives life with this sense of entitlement. As if the world owes us everything and we deserve things just to be given to us. I question why? Why do people think just because they want it, or just because they are born, others should give up what they have for…
