Completing Your Goals Are Easier Said Then Done

This week, I am blessed to have a little downtime. However, I find myself unmotivated. I have a long list of tasks that I need to complete. Yet every time I get some time. I end up wasting time on other things. I have written down my to-do list, and I even use an app to remind me. So I continue to... Sign in to see full entry.

On the last Monday in May, America celebrates those who have paid the ultimate price for freedom. However, Memorial Day is best known for marking the beginning of summer, our first three-day weekend for the summer. Now, I value having a holiday.

AM I The Only One

Recently, I have been in an ongoing war with gravity, not with my balance but with inanimate objects. It seems that gravity has taken sides against me. It is the craziest thing. When I was younger, I had no issues with placing a glass or a coffee mug on a flat or even slightly slanted surface. They... Sign in to see full entry.

Now, as I mature, I understand why it is necessary to take responsibility for our mistakes. So we don't repeat them. My biggest mistake can be summed up in one... Sign in to see full entry.

Thank God Its Friday

Thank God It's Friday may very well be part of the workers' National Anthem. My first thoughts on Monday are: I can't wait until Friday. I think it's natural to want to wake up when you want to, eat when you want to, and do what you want to. Most jobs take away our freedoms. We all crave free will,... Sign in to see full entry.

A Wet Day in the DMV

Today, there was water everywhere. Due to the constant rainfall, my lawn is definitely greener this year. Today marked the longest time for completion for my everyday work trip to Virginia this year.

A Salute to all the Mothers.

Mothers make the world go round. Their patience is invincible, and their love is astounding. They accept us for who we are and who we will become. It is hard to imagine a world without mothers. To think of such a world is total madness. We will never be able to repay our mothers, no matter how we... Sign in to see full entry.

Celebration of Life of James Simms

Earlier, I shared the passing of our Worship and Praise leader. His life was cut short by a deadly car accident. Yesterday I attended his homegoing ceremony.
