Yes the Bible says ” . . . the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” (The Holy Bible, English Standard Version) Yes the evil one sorta ate me up for a while, well seventeen years to be exact, and I was subconsciously a willing participant. But once I became aware …
Seriously though . . . there’s no way I can be a magnet for these dudes who don’t have it together. There’s no way. OK, not everyone knows how to drive. Not everyone has a “career” per say. Not everyone has good credit, can pay bills on time or budget well. But there’s no way …
God’s got an uncanny sense of humor. I think He loves to laugh . . . and I’m guessing I’m one of His favorite comedians. No for real . . . I’ll be going about my day and I’ll have some sort of trip up or slip up and fall flat on my derriere and …

After the big reveal, the one where I found everything out in more detail than I probably should have, a new pastoral acquaintance of mine encouraged me to not focus so much on what had been revealed to me but to focus on God. “Sure, I’ll focus on God,” I promised him. Humph. Now how …
Why do folks say you must put God first? How does that even go? How can you put God above your man (or woman)? Your kids? Your bills? How is that even possible? Humph. He wasn’t here paying my bills. He wasn’t cooking dinner for me after a long day of work. He wasn’t physically …
