4:102 – Read the Whole Story #faithbites #faithjourney whole Setting Iron Man is only a tech giant playboy. Aslan dies in the middle. Rocky gets knocked out. Daniel LaRusso gets beat up. If you only read part of these stories or only saw part of the movie, you wouldn’t understand the character development and path each of these characters go […]
4:95 – Washed Clean By Him Easter has come and gone. We were blessed with a beautiful day to celebrate Jesus and my birthday. We also took a lot of pictures of the day. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. This image by John Scott, says it all. This is what Christianity in a nutshell is. We […]
4:84 – Spread Joy #faithbites #faithjourney spread Setting This morning while getting my vaccine, I was talking to the nurse who gave me my shot. She said she loved my energy.

4:42 – Boost Someone Up #faithbites #faithjourney boast Setting During my morning shower, the song, When You’re Good To Momma, from Chicago the Musical popped into my head.

3:358 – Eyes on Jesus, Not The World #faithbites #faithjourney eyes Setting Tomorrow is Christmas Eve! This the day before the day Christians believe that our Lord and Savior was born.

3:347 – Hope: What Does It Mean? #faithbites #faithjourney hope Setting I often use the word “Hope” without thinking about it. I hope for good grades or well-behaved children.

3:343 – Snap Out Of It Or Keep Going! #faithbites #faithjourney snap Setting Have you ever been so deep in something that you’ve felt trapped? Is it the trapped that you are almost there or the trapped that you need to snap out and do something else? I’ve seen both this week. The first was completing my dissertation. There were […]
3:324 – Things Unseen #faithbites #faithjourney unseen Setting Most people would look at me and say I look fine. Today, I did what I needed to, said hi to people, and tried to do what I can.
