We talked one evening in a booth at our neighborhood Chili’s. The room was filled with people and was noisy, as many fajita skillets sizzled by us that night. As we talked, condensation from our untouched glasses ran onto the table. I’m still unsure how many times the waiter asked if we were ready to […]

A Storm, A Path, and A Love Story
A Time Would Come When the Two Purposed Lovers Would Grow Apart… As a young man, I watched my grandfather one Sunday evening give comfort to his wife, my grandmother, as she experienced a medical emergency. This wasn’t my first observation of the two of them loving with purpose. You see, in marriage, purpose must […]
A Perfect Day of Cooking and Baking
One of the things I enjoy the most is cooking and baking in my home. Well, it’s been a few months of time since I was last able to bake (I’ve been trying to lay off the baked sweets and incorporate healthier choices, like salads and shakes). So, because we’d made our special barbecue sauce […]
A Storm, A Path, and A Love Story
THE LIST “With my affirmations in mind, I wrote a list on yellow memo paper of what I wanted in a spouse. As I wrote more and more, I compiled a list of affirmations, folded the paper, put it in a decorative urn on my living room table, and periodically prayed to God with my […]
Making Memories: Homemade Barbecue Sauce
We made barbecue sauce today, and oh, it was amazing! Today was one of the best days of my life. I was excited about today, and woke up with an excitement about me. I made plans and surprised my husband with a special package so that we can make our very own barbecue sauce at […]
A Storm, A Path, and A Love Story
I’d planned a trip back to Charleston, my hometown, for my birthday – I’d always spent every birthday with my family – and without a second thought whisked myself away on a mini-cation. I was heavily submerged in my work as a project controls specialist and marketer for a civil engineering firm and as a […]
A Storm, A Path, and A Love Story
Just about a year before, I found myself in a slightly unsettled place relationally – desiring to be in the right relationship and knowing that there was more purposed for me. I always believed that God did create two individuals uniquely for each other, and although it had not yet come, I still looked for […]
A Storm, A Path, and A Love Story
Her inner beauty matched her outer beauty. What took her so long to call me, though? 😂 It’s been three weeks now – I almost moved on😂…not really! 9pm I would normally be sleeping by now, but tonight I’m not concerned with sleep. She didn’t throw my number away. The sounds of her voice displays […]
A Storm, A Path, and A Love Story
Sunny Florida, beautiful lakes, my patio, a great cigar over a good read after work. Time? 6pm. Brush my hair, lip gloss on, grab a chair – hold breath – there he is! *Pretend to not see him!* So, I loved to unwind on my patio by the lake, and each day as I relaxed […]
A Storm, A Path, and A Love Story
The Day When Opportunity Presented Itself Again… Don’t be afraid; we all must step out and take possession of our blessing. From the sidewalk I could see her through her patio sliding glass door. Her burgundy curtains were open today – disassembled blue wire bookshelf scattered across her living room floor and her two doggies […]
