The Bible says that faith is “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1). Every day, I am thankful for my relationship with God, who I cannot see, but can feel His presence minute by minute and hour by hour of every day. Praise…

Don’t they know who’s coming?? As a knight for the Lord, it is my duty to make the way plain and ready for when He comes. My armor is dented and a bit filthy from the paths I’ve had to cut through. My sword is not new, but it is…

Years ago, I went for a drive, because I had to have a talk with God. The night before, I had spoken with a family member who told me about his sexuality. I think I had always known he was gay, so I wasn’t surprised, but rather happy that he…

That ‘makes you sway with your eyes closed’ jazz. Like “How High the Moon” by Pat Suzuki jazz. Lord! Thank you for giving Jazz to the world, amen.

Last night, I dreamed of blue chess pieces. The battle is no longer mine (if it ever was), and now His. I have been crying ever since I remembered the dream. I am exhausted, yet relieved that my part in the battle is over. At the same time, I am heartsick, because I know that there is no going back to the way the world was before this battle began. I don’t know how it will end, and I don’t know anything about this next path The Lord has set before me. But, I know that He is with me and greater is He who is within me. So, I walk without fear and with uncertainty.
