My mother, Mrs. Ella Mae Littlejohn, has been with Jesus since 2007. Time definitely has eased the pain of separation, but time has also faded my memories. Circumstances in my life cause me to think about her a lot, to miss her, and to reflect on what a blessing she was to me. At birth, our mothers were an instrument... READ MORE >
Life is a gift from God. He wants you to live a life filled with purpose. Every day when He allows you to wake up, you have something meaningful to do. At times it may not seem like it. You may wander aimlessly, feeling lost, believing that your life has no purpose. You may be stuck in a “rut” where... READ MORE >
I remember watching a baseball game in the 60s when one of the Alou brothers came to bat. (Felipe, Matty and Jesus.) “Which one is that?” asked my brother. “That’s Jesus,” I replied. Just then, my Mom stepped into the room. “No, that’s Hay-soos.” That bothered me for a long time. ********************* There are two ways of being rich: One... READ MORE >
If you lined up 300 (or more) randomly selected people from across the earth, none of them would share exactly the same skin tone.

Of course, the continuity of skin tone hasn’t stopped humans from assigning each other to discrete skin-color categories like “black” and... READ MORE >
Let us strive to become peace builders and bridge builders, not destroyers. And the way we can do that is through friendships and relationships, and through authentic character. I’m sure my classmates will agree that this was a pact we held true through 12 years in the education system of Cherokee County. The Class of 1974 was the first class... READ MORE >

If I had said that to my Mom and Dad back in the day, I would have gotten attention alright... The father’s role has changed over the past few decades, and the good father in today’s society must...

Almighty and everlasting God, we remember this day Your Son our Lord Jesus Christ, who by Your mighty power was crucified, dead, and buried. Grant that we who believe in His death and resurrection may also rejoice in His life; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now...

Be kind – for what you don’t know is some people are fighting a battle you know nothing about. We really never know what someone might be facing or harboring inside. Just because they smile on the outside, doesn’t mean that they aren’t dealing with a lot of things in secret. You never know what someone is going through. More... READ MORE >
A man was waxing his new car. His 4- year-old daughter saw how shiny the car was, looking at her reflection. She then decided to take a crayon from her little purse and scribbled something on the bumper. “What are you doing!” the father yelled, and before you know it yanked her away from the vehicle. In anger, the furious... READ MORE >
