Have you ever heard a quote that instantly made you pause? Something that strikes right into the heart of who you are or what you believe?

There is no doubt in my mind that God provides divine appointments. What some will consider serendipitous or lucky I believe has been put in place by the Creator. Many know the story of my friend Kathy that I met at the NYC Marathon in 2016. The full story is in my book Food, Sweat, […]
