A man of God came to me and said "The Lord said that the last two months of 2016 are going to be your hardest months of the year, but hang on because your 2017 will be great!" When I got that word I immediately began to internally prepare myself for what was coming. How many of you know you can't prepare yourself for something you don't have specifics about? In the last 2 months of 2016, my oldest son was involved in a horrible car accident that left his car totaled. My 24-ye

To Hug or Not to Hug
Wednesday started out like any normal day. I woke up for work, showered, dressed, and grabbed an oatmeal and O.J. from McDonald’s.

Got a Headache?
Recently the family and I decided to go on a vacation in sunny Florida. My son Micah has always loved the water and he would often leave the condo to go sit on the beach before the rest of the family was awake.

I entered the room and said,
