Often times fathers are misunderstood and for those who have been given the role they can attest it is not easy. But many of them would not trade it for the world. And so on today this 3rd Sunday in June 2011 I honor you.

A Father’s Love
Characteristics of the heart of a father


A Father’s Love

Will go to the end of the earth
Save at all cost
Protect Fiercely
……. And Love tenderly

Even when it’s difficult
Through hard times
Times of misunderstanding
In times of crisis
Still demanding that which leads
To a safe landing
………. He will love in spite of

Your limited perspective
Adjusted view
Rationales of how you thought
He should love you
……..just to reveal the greater love

The love that it takes
To endure blind eyes
And your deep hurt
The kind that keeps pushing
When everyone feels hurt
……to prove that love conquers all

When life has threatened
Everything you know
Missing facts that lead
To many different roads
But thank God
Every fork in the road has a

      Centered point


That can tie you all together
One heart knit
Closely to sustain
Separation, disagreement
Wrongs and I wish I hadn’t
Holding on to the point of love
That still remains strong
Even though all of this has happened
……A father’s heart still beating still standing
And it isn’t until you realize
All that he went through
That your heart swells with tears
Overcome with emotion
Once you realized
That what he was trying to say
Was simply……I love you.

Moments in Love (I shared this with you in 2013) I thought it was a great way to say hello again and wish you Happy Valentines Day

Moments in Love (Reflections by Taneisa Grier) Real & true love isn't sacrificial. Only fools choose to loose time for tomorrows that aren't promised. It's our "todays" love that even carries us to the future love. Find me a "man" who’s experienced health and prosperity and see if he discounts love as being a measure of that blessing. To each its own though. But for me-bid me a love that is true and sweet. A memory of a portion of "good" love may seem like forever in a short span of time. The feeling never leaving and the essence of a touch, though fading still remembered.   "I traced his steps back to the place" where I first exhaled and realized the beauty of this moment is in the feelings that I carry away after the exchange. If fleeting, we might call it lust. But if this pure moment is lasting, we have just seen the love of God in each of us, mirrored reflection of "on earth as it is in heaven". Might I be a b...

Stairwells to the 2nd-3rd Floor Pretty Uncommon in Hospitals

I really was hesitant to write about this on my blog. The content seemed a bit dark and well not the news topic I wanted to write about on Awesome. But I couldn't help it. I was compelled because I thought for all the steps one would take on their pedometer, in some places, it would begin once you took the elevator to the 2nd floor hmmm. Getting to the point- I realized how easy it was for a women to be in the stairwell of a hospital and not be found until several days or weeks afterwards, and that's because many health professionals at hospitals don't take the stairs. What!!!!! That's right long gone are the days for steps you once trekked in jr. high, high school and college. So what if something is wrong with elevator well there must be a plan C because plan B is likely not the steps. To be fair I can understand why you'd monitor the steps and the hospitals. They should be. Good security never hurts. However, to not know the diagram or layout makes my eyes wide...

Back to School and kind gestures

So I think we're in to the swing of things. Children have an idea of teacher's expectations are and teachers have done a few assessments on their students and where their strengths and weaknesses allow. You're past the back to school jitters and have begun to actually build on the learning and education you received last year. This is why this post isn’t really amount the traditional aspect of education but about character building. I know it's a sensitive subject at times but it's time to observe and correct our children in terms of behavior. For those of you who don't have to do it it's wonderful you've probably done a great job in those early years and it's second nature for a student to think about their behavior and how they represent their family away from home. If I can digress for a minute, growing up that was a big conversation piece at our dinner table. We were always told when you walk out that door you represent our family. I don't ...
