The older I get the more life proves to me that there are no coincidences in who we meet, when we meet, what we hear, and when we hear it. God has blessed me with so many unexpected experiences that have changed my life that I should not have been surprised when it happened again. Back in the summer I got word that India Arie would be on tour again after years of being out of the spotlight and I jumped on securing tickets. I was bummed that she wouldn’t be in DC until October but figured I had waited this long for her, what’s a couple of months? Little did I know that her arrival would be perfectly aligned to when I needed to hear her most. It wasn’t just her songs.

Finding My Set Place: “Phil 3:17-19” – August 5, 2007

Apparently, him claiming to be separated was enough for her to jump in bed with him, yet at the end of the article she says she values marriage and would never cheat on her husband. The ignorance of the article is beyond your wildest imagination and I won’t waste time on it. I want to focus on just one of the missing ingredients in both of these stories… Integrity.

My Response is My Responsibility
Sometimes you just want to cuss! Okay, let me speak for myself… there are times when no other kind of word seems like it will suffice for how I feel or how ridiculous I think of someone else’s actions. Now I know this amount of honesty may take some people by surprise because this is a “Christian” blog… and of course we don’t know any cursing Christians right?! Riiiggght!
