So based on these posts, the Benito Bowl was either stellar, amazing, and filled with symbolism OR people couldn’t understand a thing he said and because of that it was terrible, horrible even, and boring!! Fascinating!

As I'm looking over the lectionary for the coming weeks in preparation for a sermon I have to do soon, I am looking at Joel 2:23-32 and really want to preach on the topic, "But when, God?"

“I am quickly approaching six months post surgery. What that means is I am also back into the swing of routine doctor visits, bloodwork, follow ups, calendar & phone call reminders (whether human or automated), scans, and more follow ups. This morning, my phone rang with another automated reminder.”
This is my life for the rest of my life…
Approaching six months since my cancer removal surgery!

Thirteen years ago TODAY I preached my initial/trial sermon, leading to me being licensed to preach in the AME Church.

Honored. Surprised. Grateful.
I'm a girl in a world in which
My only job is to marry rich
My father has no sons so I'm the one
Who has to social climb for one
So I'm the oldest and the wittiest and the gossip in
New York City is insidious
And Alexander is penniless
Ha! That doesn't mean I want him any less
My only job is to marry rich
My father has no sons so I'm the one
Who has to social climb for one
So I'm the oldest and the wittiest and the gossip in
New York City is insidious
And Alexander is penniless
Ha! That doesn't mean I want him any less
