The consequence of filters is that to a large extent, we no longer know whats real. Real is now a luxury. It's the world we live in. With a stellar number of modification apps just a finger tip away, it is easy to sugarcoat (filter) aspects of our lives. We could even alter our appearances, …
I grew up listening to Ron Kenoly and Don Moen. They were a staple in my home and their songs, the christian soundtrack of my childhood. Uncle Ron and Don could do no wrong as they belted out anthems of praise that I joined in, while jumping up and down on the couch. Apparently the …
It's interesting, this push/pull effect that yummy food has on me. I am still trying to figure out a precise calculation for eating food (deserts included) sans adding pounds. But till then, I am stuck with this love-hate relationship with the gym. Speaking of which, I had a date with the spicy chicken deluxe sandwich …
When life has us all topsy-turvy, emptied out and scrunched up, it is easy to think that the best course of action is giving up. In those moments, the option to lay there and take it is appealing because we are awash with every possible deprecating thought. We are simply tired. And I get it. …

Most people are uncomfortable with being bare, and understandably so. Its a blinking open sign that welcomes attention, and one that cannot always be filtered. Its an exposé that could invite varied interpretations, criticism and unwanted commentary. It's only natural to not want to be viewed as tainted or messy. So we try to iron out …
Pray for those who hurt (mistreat) you |Luke 6:28| is exactly what you do not want to do for those that have hurt (mistreated) you. Maybe you are holier than I am, and if so massive congratulations. But for me, I instinctively consider doing the complete opposite, i.e. rain curses, and with extra sauce, salt and …
Last week was a mess. My mind was a race track for disruptive and mannerless thoughts, It was quite honestly chaos. There are some things I have been praying about for a while now, A broken vinyl record of sorts. Seek first the kingdom of God, and... Here I am, seeking. But I am starting …
I am an advocate for God, not religion. God is life. Religion not. God did not send his son to die for a set of manmade traditions, rules and regulations. He sent Him for your heart. Jesus... A literal display of ride or die and THRIVE. …because... He went a Mike Powell record breaking long …
