Rapper and actor LL Cool J appeared on a radio station in New York City for an interview, where he discussed elements of his personal faith including his tithing. “I mentioned earlier longevity, versatility and originality,” LL Cool J said. “What I didn’t mention was spirituality and believing in God.

“Believe, He is my Everything”
“Believe, He is my Everything” I had the privilege of visiting the “Home of the Sick and Dying” in Calcutta, India. This is where Mother Teresa ministered for many years. Her example of servanthood and sacrifice is an example to us all. But the question has to be asked. Where […]
It’s all good!
Have you ever heard someone say, “It’s all good!”? This usually happens if you accidentally bump into someone and say, “I’m sorry.” You may hear someone say, “It’s all good.” I believe it is possible to have this outlook on life. If we truly believe the following scripture…. Romans 8:28 […]
I Hate to Wait!

I was in an elevator the other day and it was extremely awkward, I almost busted out laughing in the middle of the 2nd and 3rd floors. Have you ever noticed how an elevator ride has the potential of going many different directions? Sometimes there is total awkward silence. You […]
