Life is too short to not be myself…
So late yesterday evening, I had decided that I would take a moment to defend my last post from yesterday but you know what? What’s the point? Those who were offended by it didn’t really read it all the way through anyway because they seemed to miss the “we” and the “I’m done” parts so... Continue Reading →
This right here is why I’ve lost my faith in humanity… this is a pastor! It’s why my faith in the church is waning. This is what I’m talking about!! This is why I’m struggling! And it was a “Christian” friend who shared it in agreement! This is “spirit crushing” stuff. What is wrong with... Continue Reading →

We attended (virtually) St. James UMC, in KCMO this morning. Our district encouraged us all to do this as we closed Black History month. I don’t... Continue Reading →
This is part of the reason I decided to join this company. They are working to make the world a better place, and don't we need a lot more of that? I think so! I love the saying, "Be the change you wish to see in the world." Food insecurity is something I care deeply... Continue Reading →
