As the son of a preacher, my spiritual journey began at the age of twenty-five when I started having profound experiences. I now spend my time writing down my thoughts, reflecting on the profound spiritual experiences that have shaped my life.

Nothing New Under The Sun

The longer you live, the more you realize that a higher power is not just guiding you but blessing you too. It can be likened to the wind: you don’t know where it comes from or where it’s going, but it is there. Just remember, you are not

On Earth for Two Main Reasons

We are on Earth for two main reasons: to be and to do. I see myself as both a human being and a human doing. I began my journey as a human being, already possessing all that I am within me. This inner self motivates me to act. Unfortunately, some

Living in a State of Contradiction

"To everything, there is a season and a purpose for everything under the sun." Do you recognize the profound significance of the season you are in, and are you aware of the time in which you live? Your season is not just a period of time, but a

Oh Lord, Standing In Need Of Prayer

It’s me, it's me, it's me, Oh Lord, standing in need of prayer—not my sister nor my brother, but me, Oh Lord, standing in the need of prayer. This is a chorus we sang at church when I was growing up. These words have

Forgiveness is not just about others; it is also about us. We must learn to forgive ourselves for our own mistakes and shortcomings. This act of self-forgiveness is a vital step in our journey of personal growth and emotional healing. Self-compassion, which involves treating ourselves with the same kindness and

Every Need Supplied

“Every need supplied, healing, cleansing, sweet peace inside every need supplied.” A song you heard in the church, and you would sing it as a chorus. It is incredible the little nuggets of truth that can be captured in a song, and you may sing them repeatedly until you don’

Reflections on Ministry

Full-time ministry stems from who you are and the problems you address. I will never forget the time my wife, Michelle, dedicated to raising our children while I was pastoring a church. During that time, we held prayer meetings, worship services, and various spiritual events that created many meaningful experiences.
