The Sound of Silence…Crickets
Oh, the hypocrisy of it all—believers in Christ who declare they believe in all Scriptures, yet when they are challenged to prove it – crickets.

Pragma—Long-term, Everyday Kind of Marital Love
There is more than one way to say LOVE. The Greeks had at least eight different ways to say love, and those eight words are as follows: Agápe, Éros, Ludus, Mania, Philautia, Philía, Pragma, and Storgē.
My Mini-Memoir: Untimely Farewells
Death and life have taught me that child-loss is unthinkable, and they have taught me that anguish is inescapable. Additionally, death and life have taught me that grief has no expiration date. As a result, the separation I have yet to bounce back from is the ultimate untimely farewell (Ade’s death), which was the last separation Ade and I would have.
The Exceptionally Rich
To worldly people, a life that is filled with money, possessions, family, friends, fame, and so forth is a rich life. To Father God, the rich life is one that is filled with Him—His Blessings, which are as follows: His Presence (Shekinah Glory), His Love, His Grace, His Mercy, His Forgiveness, His Kingdom, His Son, His Spiritual Gifts, and so forth.
Signed, Sealed, and Delivered Saints
The Holy Spirit seals believers in Christ. Father God allows the Holy Spirit to seal Christ’s followers so that they can feel safe and secure in God’s Love, Power, and Promises. This sealing accomplishes Father God’s sign, sealed, and delivered spiritual objectives.
A Two-Word Sermon: But God!
But God . . . these two little words always encourage me. They always lift me up. They also always remind me of God’s Mercy and Grace, because they always point to the Good News that follows them.
New Book – An Update
Who would have thought that writing about the times I was aversely separated from my oldest son—and about the inescapable nonstop grief I have felt since I lost him—would turn into a labor of love? I never thought the day would come when this therapeutic exercise would become my approved for production memoir.
First Anniversary of Ade’s Death
Today is the first anniversary of our beloved son’s death. It seems like it was just yesterday that Olumuyiwa Ade Keen died. We truly are thankful to God that Ade is no longer in pain, but because on Earth grief has no expiration date our pain won’t ever end.
Traditions of Men
ALL the Hebrew and Roman religious leaders’ traditions of men that have been added to the Word of God are why so many believers in Christ who will be living right before the Tribulation Period begins will be so unprepared and unalert. They will be the carnal believers and the natural men and women (unbelievers – Jews and Gentiles) who will miss the Rapture and end up suffering during the Tribulation Period.
Who Are Overcomers?
Even though all believers in Christ are promised eternal life, all believers must understand that believing is more than giving intellectual assent to Christ’s Existence or His Redemptive Work. Believing also means Christ’s Ekklesia (His One Body of Believers or One Community of Faith Believers) is His collective Bride who uses everything He gave to Her to help Her become His saintly Overcomers.
