"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters." Colossians 3:23
Love Not Driven By Fear
One afternoon, my husband and I sat down with our girls to discuss the topic of sharing. Questions like, “Why do I have to share, Mommy?” to “Daddy, do we have to share everything?” were brought up. This led to a fun demonstration and conversation. My goal was to drive home how there are limits…
This Is Great! No, This Is Blasphemy!
Today’s special commentary comes from my husband, Philip Ramos, who discusses topics on God-centered manhood, fatherhood and leadership. We are living in a time where a critic can be found for anything and anyone. Cancel culture has become a real phenomenon. There is not one sound or righteous person, so say the critics-though, they are…
Not Given A Seat At The Table?
The other day I was having a deep conversation with my sister about the effects of generational rejection. In specific, we discussed the soul-wrenching effect childhood rejection can have on the establishment and development of identity and confidence. The marks it leaves. The lies it sows. After ending this conversation, the conversation carried on in…
We Want a King! We Want a KING!
It has been an interesting time to be alive. We see clear Revelation prophecy coming to pass as societies call evil matters good, and good matters evil (2 Timothy 3:1-17, 2 Timothy 4:3, 2 Peter 3:3-4, Matthew 24:6, Isaiah 5:20, and Matthew 24:12). The depravity of the human condition has become unignorable (2 Timothy 3).…
No…Actually, I Really Do Love You More
It was peak holiday mayhem, when I found myself at the mall Christmas shopping with my mother one afternoon. This year, in particular, I examined her closely and noticed her fragile yet ever so efficient effort in sifting through various hangers of clothes. Through determination and collectedness, she quickly inspected racks and shelves for items…
The Shadows Of The Prince Of This World
Since the release of documents that encompassed years of surveilled accounts of sex-trafficking by the felon, Jeffrey Epstein, my heart has felt sick, heavy and disgusted. Evidence of relentless and blatant evil in every corner of the world has solidified the reality of scripture; this Earth is ruled by demonic forces, principalities and the enemy…
When Growing Feels Like Dying
As the Spring quickly approaches, I find myself preparing for another feeble attempt at trying to grow “anything” this summer. I can confidently say, I tend to kill anything I plant or try to keep alive. Truly, I have a black thumb. But this year, I am determined for it to be a different story.…
Trusting In The Midst Of The Unknown
A decade ago, our family friend had been diagnosed with stage four, breast cancer. Ever a vibrant, full of joy woman, she wore a big, beautiful smile one afternoon when she was told her pregnancy test was positive during a chemotherapy session. My heart shattered for her, as she fought tears on that hospital bed.…
The Hardened, Dirty Pot
Not too long ago, I found myself moody, hungry and washing dirty dishes. Perfect trifecta. In this state, the Lord spoke to me while I intensely stared and struggled to scrub a dirty, old pot covered in days old spaghetti. Makes me chuckle now, as this is the Lord’s signature move in my life-speaking to…
A Short Commentary on Renee Good
At this point it appears an expected norm to read national headlines who report, yet again, another human shot by armed forces. That alone, makes my stomach turn. Three days ago, a woman, named Renee Good, was fatally shot. She was a US citizen, and a mother of three. Multiple, vantage point videos showcase tensions…
Sitting In Self-Examination
Years ago, I received a phone call during a party that felt like a parent’s worst nightmare. My world stopped as I answered the call I had anticipated for weeks. My listening tunneled and the noise around me faded hearing the clerk on the line state they regretted to inform me of negative news. At…
To Play Or Not To Play? That Is The Question.
Monday’s Special commentary comes from my husband, Philip Ramos, who discusses topics on God-centered manhood, fatherhood and leadership. In 2006, GameStop stores and big-box retailers across the country had ravaging customers emptying the shelves of the newly released PS3. The promise of a bundled Call of Duty 3 game with your purchase, that included a…
