When I was in college our Madame President (as we called her), would remind us of our power when she would address the school, by asking the question, “Who Runs This Show,” our response, “We Run This Show.” The chant would go a couple times, the energy that came from this chant left us with a sense of pride and respect, we could conquer the world! Just a few days ago I learned of the passing of a college classmate and friend. The news was shocking and it hurt so bad. I'm sure everyone asked questions like, why, how, what?

I recently went to see the movie Girls Trip, beyond being hysterically funny (I mean I laughed my behind off lol), it had good back story. Friends, how many of us have them?

Who Comes First??
Recently I saw the movie, The Shack, great movie by the way, I recommend you seeing it, if you haven’t seen it already. There was a certain part of the movie in which Mack (the leading role) walked on water with Jesus. He was able to successfully do it with Jesus, but when he tried on his on he was unable to do it. In that moment, there was a reminder that we must include Jesus in all areas of our lives in order for us to live our best lives. I think of Paul in the Bible, when he took his eyes off Jesus he began to sink. We…
