Stuff We Talk About

Although my mother went home to be with the Lord, she told me something years ago that I will never forget. I want to pass on the same...

By Vernalee As we look at our environment today, the world needs love; lots of love! There has been more rioting, more shootings, more killings. The disharmony and hatred are not what God intended for mankind. God created a world intended for an overflowing of love. The Bible defines love in I Corinthians 13:4-7 as - 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily a

By Vernalee I love award shows. I watch them relentlessly. Seeing the stars and celebrities in their finest attire is a treat. The Red Carpet is rolled out for them to showcase their looks and recognize their talents. We don’t have to go to a Black Tie or Special Event to walk the Red Carpet. Everyday that we awake with the breath of life, God is granting us another opportunity to walk on that red carpet of life. It’s up to us to make every step count. Who we have to accomp

By Vernalee Are you a risky daredevil or do you take calculated steps? It is better to be safe than sorry! Agreed? An associate recently recognized that his recent venture had him freehandedly “walking a tightrope without a net!” Strangely, he did not realize that his journey was net-less as he was so entrenched that he had not taken the time to look down. Fear ...he didn’t have at the time! Sometimes, what you don’t see or know conceal the negative consequences. However, on

By Vernalee How do you like your eggs - scrambled, boiled, poached, over easy...? There are so many different varieties and ways to prepare eggs. Most of us love omelets particularly when we can put in our favorite ingredients - bacon, sausage, cheese, spinach, mushrooms, onions, and peppers. Yum! They’re delicious. I’m getting hungry just thinking about the flavor. But in order to make an omelette, you have to crack (break open) eggs. So similar to our many journeys in l

By Vernalee It’s easy to get ahead of yourself. You should not count on something before it happens. Don’t go to great extremes, making plans for your anticipation. What if the inevitable does not occur. Then what! Be realistic. Variables, some unexpected, can change circumstances and outcomes. Continue to work hard to produce the desired results. If you are prepared with realistic expectations and if the chicken doesn’t pop out of the egg shell, then nothing is lost. If t

By Vernalee “When push comes to shove" means when a situation reaches a critical or urgent point, requiring decisive action or a final choice. It describes what will happen as a last resort or when normal, easy methods are no longer enough. ” So when you get in hot water, it’s time for a decision. It’s no longer a push. It’s a shove!

By Vernalee Love is a feeling that we desire. Absence a heartbreak or two, it makes us feel heavenly... most of the time. "Love is also a heartfelt emotion that comes automatically for a person as you will feel it in your heart. It penetrates your soul. And when that happens, your love will automatically pour out for the person just like rain. A true human heart should love without differentiating. Rain, when it falls does not choose the grass on which it will fall. For a

By Vernalee This song engulfs your soul. It's powerful message moves your spirit. The more we do the works of the Lord, the better off we are. To see things through God's lens gives us a wholesome perspective. It teaches us so much about sacrifices, love, and forgiveness. That is why we pray, sing, and ask the Lord to “open the eyes of our hearts” so that we can see him and his good works. Sometimes, we miss what is right before our eyes! We worship you Lord and give etern
