Happy Father’s Day!

God created parents to be the walking, talking, embodiment of His love for his creations. Today we thank God for fathers.  I specifically thank God for my father who actually just visited us. But in the midst of all the Father’s day dinners, brunches and gifts, we can’t neglect to give thanks for the Father

Write the Vision and Make it Plain

As I prepared our home to go be seen by potential buyers, I came across a somewhat pencil-smeared sheet of writing paper on the side of our fridge with a host of pictures, magnets, and other announcements.  The sheet of paper was kind of buried behind the other items so I had not seen it

Recovering Type A

My name is Latoya Morris and I am recovering Type A.  I don’t know much about the 12 step program but I do know that the first step is acknowledging there is a problem.  Today I recognize not just that I am a Type A but that I don’t want to be, there is no

Become the Blessing

For the past week, I have been praying for a few people.  I have prayed for people I know personally and some I have never met.  Some prayers can only be answered by God; yet some can be answered by God’s angels here on earth.  Angels do not have to be heavenly beings but they

One Gift You Should Get Everyone on Your List

When I think about Christmas, I think about the greatest gift we could have even been given – the gift of Christ.  Every year my mom (still at this age) asks me what I want for Christmas – my siblings ask me too. At a point in life where my greatest wants and needs cannot
