I had car trouble this past week, tow truck and the trimmings. I
felt defrauded, yet I was calm, prayed and turned up the love. I am thankful.

We try everything to escape physical imperfections: weight loss, exercise, makeup, hair styles, and cosmetic surgery instead of overcoming character flaws. Changing our looks is easier than changing our character. We should be more concerned about the condition of our heart: kindness, patience, integrity, and love. Continue reading ...

Today, I spoke at Joseph Stockton School
graduation. I was so proud of our young people of color, ready to take
the next steps in their lives. In my speech, I told them to "Make
Today's Dream Tomorrow's Reality" by continuing to pursue their goals and
believe that they can succeed because nothing is impossible with faith, hope
and love. I also quoted Helen Keller: "When one door of happiness closes,
another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see
the one that ...

Despite all the evil that surrounds us, we must continue to love one another. We hate the sin but love the person.
It takes more energy to hate and less to love. Continue reading ...

To start the New Year, I went to see Les Miserables at the theater. This film had multiple conflicts and subplots yet a tearjerker as well as thought-provoking. Some of the scenes were cathartic and I cried. At the end these words rung out “To love another person is to see the face of God.” Happy New Year!

2013 brings an old and new perspective to my life. In 1986, I wrote the song What Happen to this Beautiful World. It was a time when I felt the world was spinning out of control. Now entering 2013 my outlook is back again. There is so much hate that is decaying our state of mind. This country is so splintered because people are no longer tolerant of others’ opinions and beliefs. Everyone lives in their own bubble. We need to keep our focus on God, who is love; and this world would becom...

While reading the Daily Bread today, I was inspired by this quote: "God desires that we show respect to all people, because everyone bears His image." With so much hate in the world and less love, we need to remember this. Continue reading ...

Today I saw the film The Iron Lady about Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher portrayed by Meryl Streep. This was a great movie and excellent performance by Meryl Streep! Margaret Thatcher quoted St. Francis Assisi when times were rough and crucial decisions had to be made.
“Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love,
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadn...
