I often wonder why people do the things that they do, more so the negative things. I was talking with a friend about the negative comments that are made sometimes on social media. I wondered what would cause someone to make such negative, judgmental comments about things that are absolutely none of their business. But then it hit me, it’s not for you to understand. There are so many things I couldn’t imagine saying or doing to someone, even if it was my enemy. I understand never say never, but at this moment I can’t imagine it.

Nobody Like Him!
As I was driving on my commute yesterday, the song “Love Theory” by Kirk Franklin came on. I love this song but yesterday was different.

God is Greater!
Recently, I had the honor to go see the movie, Emanuel. Initially, it seemed like a good idea, but on my way to the theater, I wondered how good the idea was as I wasn’t sure if I was mentally prepared. My friend and I said a quick prayer prior to the movie, as we didn’t want any negative residue from the movie. I did have residue, but it was more positive than negative. The movie brought anger, tears, and confusion, but mostly it reminded me that God is greater. The theme of the story of Emanuel is forgiveness. I was amazed at how the family members of those that…
