Dance and Walk
What’s the most fun way to exercise? Fun way to exercise? I don’t “work out,” I move with joy. Give me good music and I’ll dance like nobody’s watching… because honestly, nobody should be.

African Beauty
“I am dark and lovely,like the tents of Kedar,like the curtains of Solomon’s temple.” Song of Solomon 1:5 Not hidden in the margins.Not whispered in passing.But sung…bold, poetic, undeniable.

At The King’s Table: We like Mephibosheth…
“Do not fear, for I will surely show you kindness for Jonathan your father’s sake…” 2 Samuel 9:7 Like Mephibosheth, we are lame in both legs.

The Lily of the Valley
