The term, “time out” has most often, always been synonymous with punishment; getting that fussy, difficult child to go sit in the corner. It is always long enough for them to settle themselves down and continue with whatever they were doing before the “meltdown”. When was the last time you had a “time out”? Not… Continue reading Time Out
I could title this piece, “From grace to grass”, and indeed the phrase, “It is not how you start but how you finish” almost seems like a cliche. In Solomon’s case, however, this holds true. This is the story of the king who built the temple of God instead of his father, David (1 Kings… Continue reading Finishing Well (1 Kings 11:1-13)
I want to start off with the proverbial adage that goes like this, “The man is the head but the woman is the neck that turns the head.” Woman, what impact are you having on the man in your life? Let us take a look at Esther 5:12-14. One can see how pompous and arrogant… Continue reading Wanted: A Woman Of Godly Wisdom
The way ahead is to keep pushing forward, not backward. Do not look back, just keep moving! If you must look back, it must be to learn lessons from the falls, pits, and mistakes of the past. Abraham Lincoln said, “I walk slowly, but I never walk backward.” Never get stuck in the past. There… Continue reading When Adversity Comes, Keep Pushing

(A humorous satire about the Christian life in Africa today 😂😂😂)
As we celebrate Resurrection Sunday, let us pause and reflect on Jesus’ words to His disciples in John 15:13, “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.” Would you lay down your life for a friend? Do not answer that too quickly 😜😜. Jesus made the ultimate… Continue reading Greater Love

Give it your all. Give it all you have got. Do not get sidetracked. Do not limit yourself. Do not allow yourself to be put in a “box” or put yourself in one! Allow yourself to expand. What was impossible before will become possible by His grace. Whatever He has called you to do, do… Continue reading Giving It Your All
“Truth” is defined as that which is true according to fact or reality. “True” being what is correct, accurate, right, or verifiable. We are getting somewhere, I hope, because I always like to start by defining key terms. What was your first lesson or teaching on what is right or true? I am sure… Continue reading “Truth” – by Yaa F. Attobrah
I find sometimes, that the word of God can become too familiar to us. We read the word and tend to gloss over certain key points that may be staring us right in the face, and yet we miss it. A few weeks ago, I remember reading 2 Samuel 6:1-10 for my morning devotion. A… Continue reading Has God Become too Familiar To Us? by Yaa F. Attobrah
