  Y'all ! After reading through the entire Bible in 90 Days this past Autumn, I adopted my ONE WORD 365 for the year 2026! Per the norm, I've adopted my ONE WORD for 2026! Last year my One Word was FORWARD . Last year, it seams I failed to write a post about my ONE WORD, but I did a search in the notes section of my phone and there it was: FORWARD. For the record, this ONE WORD FORWARD was adopted on the 13 December 2024. My ONE WORD for the calendar year 2026 is FRUIT! The key word/root word  FRUIT is found over two hundred times in the NASB 1995 version of the text. According to Vine's Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words the key word FRUIT (6529) in the Hebrew has three different meanings: 1. reward, price, edible product of a plant 2. offspring or fruit of the womb 3. the product or result of an action. In addition, to be FRUITFUL (6504), and to bear FRUIT appears in the OT some 29 times. I said all of that to  reiterate my ONE WORD for 2026 is FRUIT. I also, cha...

Thank You Lord, for allowing me to survive what I failed to see coming exactly one year ago today! Already in great grief and despair, you slowly scraped me up, caused me to sit, sleep, slumber and eventually stand and strut a little while leaning into my pain. Thankfully, I’m not bitter but better due to the forgiving nature of my heart. Sadly, at times, over the last year, I despised my very own heart. But, a moment in time during a recent building fire you caused me to clearly see, to really see the harsh reality of this my one life! Like, Kat Williams, not everyone who is obligated naturally to love me actually loves me and that’s ALRIGHT! The not noted details of 6 January 2023 and 6 November 2023 stand as truth amid consequence. That, Wednesday before Christmas, I stood steps away from our building wondering if our home was spared from the fire, when my flip phone rang out of my pocket, like a house phone and it was my PASTOR calling to check to see if we were alright! And thankf...

  The other day, I adopted my one word for the year. This is a practice I have participated in since 2009. Sadly, most years I selected one word which pertained to something I wanted to accomplish. And, there was even a year, I selected one word of the name of a person I wanted my year to focus on. But, this year I am intentionally turning my focus to who I currently am in Christ Jesus! Since returning to the city of Murfreesboro on 15 October of 2021, I have come to understand and realize the nature of my departure (Covid Times) and the true nature of my return. Since, I was working at Screen Art, I though working there was the reason for my return, until I found myself surprisingly not fired, but replaced without reason, on January 6th of 2023. This replacement without reason, exactly a month from the date of my sister's surgery, all but destroyed our finances, as we had also just moved into a larger condo. But, the Lord was with us and thankfully we were moved by the spirit to p...

 Today, I'm working on locking in colors, fonts and logo for a not so new multiple pieces product line.

Let's never, no never forget one moment of curiosity in the mist of an extreme emotional crisis moved Tina Turner from Baptist to a Buddhist in one moment of worship and sadly she persisted and perished wearing this crown! We have not time to study demons and witchcraft, when we know what the one and only Jesus did with his three years of ministry.
