Yesterday, someone in my feed asked the question “What moment over the past year stands out for you?” She was referring to George Floyd, of course. One such moment was the words of @esaumccaulley when He said “LOVE is sufficient to gather all the divided peoples of the world, people like George Floyd. There is…

Anybody who knows me at all, knows I’m a crier. As my family will attest, one risen lump in my throat and it’s ‘water works’ city. My grandmother, Nellie, was a crier. So much so, her crying became folly for a long-standing, ‘inside’ family joke… Around the late seventies, at the end of a very…

“Falling leaves are summer’s way of telling us goodbye.” – unknown Three incredibly difficult seasons have come and gone since I last posted to the A Meaningful Journey blog site. All I can say is… God and cancer can move at lightning speed!? I can’t say as to why God chose to move me across…

Since changing a heart’s condition is a one-person job, no ONE can change another’s! But one can certainly impact another’s. Are your deeds,…
Wrestling with the brokenness of it all, I found these words… Actions – Words = P R E A C H . ************ I am absolutely convinced my reverberated opinions won’t change another’s. I am absolutely, positively convinced my ACTIONS speak louder than my words. I am absolutely convinced America is a blessed nation and…
