Heart 2 Heart (What's Love Got to Do With It)

MATTERS OF THE HEART

Here's a different kind of post and it is straight from my heart...

I don't know what makes a person fall in love, but one thing is for certain it is a great feeling.
What I don't understand is how one can fall in and out of love as time passes, but maybe we all believe that we understand what love is all about and then realize we don't have the slightest clue. I am convinced that love is just as complex as it is simple but I am sure critics would argue with me on that.

Since, it is the "Love Month", I thought I'd focused on matters of the heart. I found myself in a peculiar position as a single who recently broke up from a long-term relationship and now in the process of discovery and rediscovery. I've got questions, how soon after do you fall in love? Is there a time limit? Is it love or a rebound thing? I wonder!!!

I am beginning to understand that God is truly a God of Wonders and does the most amazing things. I just know that heartache is never easy but God always has a remedy or a cure for heartache. I know this because while you are not looking, God is working behind the scenes and sometimes he may work quickly or he will allow you to wait things out. But whatever it is, God understands your need for love. He understands that one of the essential needs of humans is to be loved. I am sure of it.

And though you may be single, you don't need to think that love is evading you. One thing that I've learned is that you have to be open to receive, even after someone may have abused your heart and not appreciate the gift that you are. It is true is that someone's loss, maybe someone's treasure.

The one that walked away, broke your heart, and could not appreciate how special you are and how much love you had to offer ends up being the biggest loser especially when you are the one that loved with pure intentions. This tells me that they are truly broken, insecure individual with no understanding of what love really is. Many people claim to feel love, to be in love but really do not have an inkling what love is...
Truth is...I'm learning and still open to learning this and more...

So, who knows you may end up being someone's treasure. You may end up finding someone who would dare show up at your work unannounced to just see you, or call to find out if you need anything, or even when they are tired find the way to your house to just to bring something to help you treat the common cold. You just may find the one that would stop what he or she is doing to call to make you laugh because you were having a bad day, or encourage and inspire you to be more than you are, take chances and be bold daring and confident. You may find that one who is understanding where you are in your life and rooting for you to succeed. You just may find love right after a bad episode in your life, much sooner than later!

And the question is in matters of the heart...What's Love Got to Do with It?

The answer is...EVERYTHING!

Shattered but Seen: Finding Light Through the Cracks of Family Pain

There are moments in life when everything feels like it’s unraveling at once. When grief doesn’t knock— …it kicks down the door. Lately, I’ve been living in one of those moments. Watching my sister slip into another relapse, my mother bound by the weight of severe depression, while my father, siblings, and even the grandchildren carry the silent burdens of what feels like a collapsing family. Everyone is hurting. Everyone is surviving. Barely. And the pain? It’s loud, but we’ve all learned to whisper about it. Help! My family is falling apart. The Reality Behind Closed Doors People see us smiling in public and assume we’re okay. But they don’t see the family truth behind locked doors. They don’t see how trauma ripples through generations like a virus. And we’ve all been infected. No one talks about the shame of watching a loved one relapse again. Or the helplessness of seeing your once-strong mother not be able to get out of bed. Or how numb the rest of us become just ...

Living with the End in Mind

Three weeks ago, I preached my very first eulogy—stepping in for my dad, who had to be rushed to the hospital. The message I shared came from his sermon notes, “Death Is Only a Shadow.” One verse that stood out to me during that message was from 1 Samuel 20:3 , where David said to Jonathan: “But truly, as the LORD lives and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death.” If I’m honest, 2025 has felt like a year marked by loss. Death has been moving through families and communities, hitting hard and often. I’ve attended more funerals this year than I can count. I’ve seen more “In Memory Of” posts and RIP tributes than I ever wanted to. I’ve cried tears of sorrow for loved ones and friends who are no longer here—people I can’t call, laugh with, or hug on this side of heaven. I’ve also carried the weight of others’ grief, feeling the sting of their pain. One thing is certain: we will all walk that road when our time comes. The real question is—are we living with the end...

Unspoken Words...I Broke Down Today!!!

So how's this for a reel...real talk, real truth and real emotions... I Broke Down Today!!! Some would say, I had a meltdown while others would say I lost total control of my emotions. I would have been deemed emotional and yet I was unashamed... I baled, I balled, I cried out in desperation because of hurt, pain, mishandling and misinformation. You see days before I was walking tall, proud that I was keeping it all together. For what though, for a world that is growing colder and callous every day. Now has me wondering, do people truly care about people. The world today is not the world that I dreamt about...a world of peace, love, unity, equality, equity and family togetherness...just the sound of it seems farfetched now. But yet I still have a dream... that one day tings gonna get better...like the good Bishop says. I broke down today because family is not the same anymore, so much division, so much strife, no unity and I am asking where is the love that once was had. I broke d...
