For The Love of God

 For the Love of Black History Month: More Than Just Chocolate Milk Black History Month: a time to bust out the soul food, maybe catch a screening of "Black Panther" (again!), and… wait, is that all there is? Let's be real, while enjoying some delicious collard greens is a must, Black History Month is about so much more than just chocolate milk (though, let's not pretend that's not a highlight). It's about celebrating the incredible contributions of Black people throughout history – from groundbreaking scientists and artists to courageous activists who fought for equality. Think about it: Harriet Tubman, the "conductor" of the Underground Railroad, outsmarting slave catchers like she was playing a real-life game of hide-and-seek. That takes serious ingenuity and courage! Or what about George Washington Carver, turning peanuts into everything from paint to plastics? Talk about a multi-talented entrepreneur! These are just a few examples of the incredi...

  For the Love of God's Promises: Don't Lose Your Receipt! Life, my friends, can feel a lot like that frustrating game of "Where's Waldo?" You're frantically searching for joy, peace, and maybe even a decent parking spot, but everything seems to be hidden in plain sight. Disappointments pile up faster than dirty laundry, and you start to wonder if you even signed up for this " life " thing in the first place. But fear not, fellow travelers! Just like that crumpled receipt you find at the bottom of your purse (or, let's be honest, the abyss that is your car's glove compartment), God has given us a guarantee – a divine receipt, if you will. These are His promises, those unwavering words whispered on the breeze, etched in the pages of Scripture, and whispered to our hearts in quiet moments. Remember Noah? Dude built a giant boat, not because he enjoyed carpentry (though, let's be honest, building a boat that size probably had its own unique ...

  For The Love of God's Mercy: A Love Story We all stumble. We trip, we fall, we sometimes even face-plant spectacularly into life's metaphorical mud pies. It's part of the human experience, isn't it? But let's be honest, sometimes those stumbles feel a whole lot more like a nosedive than a little slip-up. And that's where the beauty of God's mercy shines through, like a beacon of hope in a stormy sea. Think of it like this: Imagine you're learning to ride a bike. You wobble, you teeter, and inevitably, you fall. But your loving parent is right there, ready to catch you, dust you off, and maybe even offer a lollipop to soothe the sting. That, my friends, is a glimpse of God's mercy in action. He knows we're not perfect, He knows we'll make mistakes, and yet, His love and forgiveness are always there, waiting for us with open arms . Now, I know what you might be thinking: "But I messed up big time! There's no way God can forgive some...
