"The opposite of faith is not doubt, but certainty."- Anne Lamont This quote really confounds me because as a young person growing up in a religious Christian household, I was taught to believe in the certainty of faith. I memorized the famous scripture. "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not … Continue reading The doubt in faith

Unemployed Again
So my boss told me that he wasn't going to hold a teaching position for me in the fall. That means I am unemployed again.

Having a thankful mind-set
It's a very dreary day in Boston. The sky is grey and the weather is wet. It is such a perfect day to complain. You know those days, you look out the window and it seems that the bleakness of the moment perfectly represents the dullness of your situation. I began to feel that way … Continue reading Having a thankful mind-set
Don’t worry about it
"Tell your neighbor. "Don't worry about it.'" And in the typical call in response tradition of the African American culture, the church repied, "Don't worry about it." Oh how I needed to hear those words. Last week, my lender took out a lump sum of money out of my account. I was on an income … Continue reading Don’t worry about it

In this last blog entry of 2015, I will share the 5 resolutions I wrote in … Continue reading My 2015 unmet New Year’s resolutions
I don’t love God
I don't love God. I came to this realization one morning as I was doing meditation. I was reading "Jesus Calling" a daily devotional, when I actually decided to read the referenced verses. One verse stood out. "You shall love the Lord with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your … Continue reading I don’t love God
