Forgot to Fast
Today is another Fast and Testimony Sunday. I didn’t realize this until after arriving at church (having previously eaten breakfast). At least I made it to church.

Only the Essentials
There are three things that no human being can live without. They air, water, and food. Some of y’all are probably answering cell phones, or TVs or cars. But you’d be okay without them. Try not breathing for a few minutes and you’ll know what I mean.

Remembering Dodge
Describe a phase in life that was difficult to say goodbye to. I’ve written about what I call the Dodge Street Standard before (read here). It was a time in my life that I was very free. I was also very poor and alone most of the time. I had the essentials. I had my…
