If you have not heard the sad news Mandisa passed away at 47 years old. She was such a bright light that radiated Jesus. You could not be in a room with her without catching some of her joy. The difficult thing to reconcile is she battled depression and anxiety silently and alone. I am not saying this had anything to do with her death at all. I want to be very clear about that,… … Continue reading

I didn’t think much of it until I met Pastor Edwin. He educated… … Continue reading

Photo Op is where Wally makes us send him the last photo we took on our phones and tell him the story behind it. Which photo do you like the best? We’re entering allergy season and already I’m starting to feel the effects in my eyes. I was complaining to a friend of mine how my eyes are so itchy, red, and dry and, to prove my point, I sent her a pic of my… … Continue reading
