All lives are entwined and we intersect at various points in our experiences, however, everyone comes back to the singular for atonement. The Alabaster Box is a reflective journey of a life spent in search for the very elusive God of salvation. Is such a God knowable or does such a God exists? Only questions survive the Alabaster narrative because there is no true answer. What is true, however, is that finding God is a personal encounter and one that…
It was only yesterday that you held me in your arms and marveled at my pouting lips, my chubby cheeks. You were enchanted by my wisps of hair and wondered why blonde, but then you remembered my mother’s bloodline and smiled; it would pass as the proper me emerge. So many years later I hold you in my arms and marvel at how fragile you had become, how vulnerable; your brown eyes are devouring…

A CHRISTMAS LETTER, OR A GRAND COMPLAINT? DECEMBER, 2016. Here we are again ending another year. My feelings are complex. I cannot be ungrateful but the misery of 2016 has stuck in my craw.

In my present view I see him as someone adept at board games with one idea and that is to win. After a win,…
MICHELLE OBAMA DELIVERS. JULY 25, 2016. Thank you all. Thank you so much. You know, it’s hard to believe that it has been eight years since I first came to this convention to talk with you about why I thought my husband should be president. Remember how I told you about his character and conviction? His decency and his grace. The traits that we’ve seen every day that he’s served our country in the White House. I also told you…
Once upon a time a Weasel named “Jonah Weasel” the first, was sent out by the Zoo Keeper to do a very important job. This job would certainly cost him his life but he agreed to do it because it would save the lives of millions of creatures in the Zoo galaxy. He mainly wanted to do this job to please the Zoo Keeper who was everything to him. He knew that as soon as possible the Keeper would…
WHO AM I, or WHO I AM, are two separate statements of being. The first statement is igniting the current flames of social and political conversations today. Male or Female Gender. How are they determined? The latter statement speaks directly to how each of us find ourselves in relation to how we perceive our being as it relates to our biology, and how this biology propels us to react, feel, and relate to other beings. Quite a lot to think about….
