HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hello fellow bloggers and friends. I pray this new year of 2026 has started off beautifully for you. If not, know that God knows and sees all things, is always with you, and promises to help (Proverbs 15:3; Hebrews 4:13; Psalm 139:1-4; Psalm 46:1).

My year has started off rocky, not as I expected. I had to postpone my book release to a later date, as I encountered continuous formatting issues on Amazon. So, I’m working to correct that now.

An official book release date of “OMG! What’s Been Done with Jesus? Bringing Christ Back to the Forefront” will be March 4th, my birthday. 🙂 Here’s the cover, description of the book, and about the author information. Check it out, and hopefully you’ll be interested in purchasing a copy once it releases.

Again, Happy New Year!

Be blessed until next time!

Book Description

My upcoming book’s title is “OMG! What’s Been Done with Jesus? Bringing Christ Back to the Forefront.” Here is a description of it and my author bio. I hope you will check it out when it releases on January 11, 2026. Please continue to pray for me. (Writing is tedious.)

When you hear the name Jesus Christ, what comes to mind? You may feel uncertain or have questions such as, “Who is Jesus Christ? What did He do? Could you tell me why He came to earth and spent so much time with ordinary people like me?” It’s okay to have questions. This book seeks to answer them.

Some have never heard of Jesus Christ, while others once knew Him but have lost their way. Still, others claim to know Him well. This book uses Scripture and a few memoirs of my journey with Jesus Christ thus far to challenge long-held misconceptions and misunderstandings about Him, including the idea that His teachings are only for perfect or deeply religious people. Jesus’ message is for everyone, regardless of their background or current life situation. The book will teach you, spark curiosity, cause you to think, and foster a deeper understanding of who Jesus is. It is for those who have questions about what He was doing while on earth.

After reading and reflecting on what Jesus Christ said and did, you may survey your life and the organizations you’re a part of, seeing whether they truly reflect His teachings. Perhaps you will ask, “Is Jesus Lord?” Some who are close to Him might feel inspired to get closer and share Him with others. Those unfamiliar with Jesus can embrace his message, start a new life, and anyone who feels lost can find their way back. No matter your age, background, or beliefs, this book will support and understand you and make you want to help restore Jesus Christ back to His rightful place.

A Reading from My Upcoming Book

Happy May folks.

I missed you guys in April because time is moving fast, and I’m consumed with finishing my book for publication this year. I’m in the editing phase, submitting chapters to my editor, then rewriting. It’s going well. I’m amazed how my editor can see what I couldn’t. They are great to have; I’m grateful for mine and appreciate her.

On Easter Day, my nephew and his wife invited me to read an excerpt from my book at their church’s Easter service. It was a great opportunity, although I had never done it before. I was a bit nervous and hoping I spoke clearly enough.

I’m sharing this reading with you in this month’s blog. I hope you will watch the video and that it will inspire you to want to read more of the book. The church is Immanu-El Temple International Church, Pastor Willie C. Signil, IV. Currently, they meet online each Sunday at 9:00 am EST. My nephew, an Army veteran, deployed to and fought in Iraq for several years. He recently retired and began this ministry, but has been preaching for quite some time. If you have no church home, you are welcome to join Immanu-El Temple International Church services on Facebook or Instagram.

So, here I am as I am–natural, ordinary, and plain reading an excerpt from my upcoming book. (I’m sure my nieces and other younger ladies would offer some makeover and fashion tips for my next reading. That’s cool; I’ll take it.) LOL!

I appear early, right after the second worship song. (The video pauses a few seconds but soon continues.)

Happy listening. Be blessed until next time. 🙂

Happy Spring!

Hello, fellow bloggers and subscribers.

My favorite time of year is here, and I turned another year old on March 4. So, I’m excited about the warm weather; it’s when I blossom just like the flowers. 🙂 I’m also grateful for another year in the land of the living.

How are all of you? Drop me a quick reply about how you are or what’s happening in your world. Or, briefly share something inspirational with us. That would be nice. 🙂

I don’t have many inspirational words this month, other than whatever project, relationship, change, or bad habits you’re working on, know that the bible declares, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (Phil. 4:13). If you’re a Christ follower, look for the Lord’s enabling strength to see you through and to make it to a victorious completion.

It’s what I’m relying on to publish my first book, OMG! What’s Been Done With Jesus? Bringing Christ Back to the Forefront.” It’s no secret that Jesus Christ’s name, purpose, and works were distorted and misunderstood in His time and still are today. Many don’t know what He really is about or came to do—even church folks. Through comparison of scripture, observations, and my personal story, the book highlights scriptural truth about Jesus, addresses some of these discrepancies, and shares snippets of my journey with Him thus far.
