I have received so many e-mail messages on love this week. The messages are mostly advertisements to remind me to buy something to celebrate, surprise, amaze, cherish my true love and my sweetheart. Chocolate, fruit, nice dinners, and jewelry are all fine but they are not the greatest gifts. The…

Continue reading →: Are You a PK?
Growing up in church I heard many people refer to PK’s which meant a pastor’s/preacher’s kid. PK’s were often labeled and watched constantly. I was glad I wasn’t one when I was growing up but now that I am older I understand being a PK was not a bad thing…

I recently went to my Zumba dance class at night and I noticed how this security guard walked around and kept checking things out. I saw him even encourage a few of us to keep going. I noticed how closely he stayed by our group and watched out for the…
