Lufkin, Texas-based rapper Tedashii is set to release an album inspired by the death of his son in a car crash last year. The 14 tracks on ‘Below Paradise’ reflect Tedashii’s grief of losing his son.

Said Tedashii, “In March 2013 I had the worst day of my life. The loss of my son changed me forever. I experienced grief and sorrow to the depth of my soul. The veil was lifted, the smoke cleared and all I had was pain. Instantly phrases like, ‘It’s all good’ or ‘It’ll be ok’ were cliché and, at

7-Ways-to-Save-for-a-Summer-Vacation.jpg?resize=500%2C250

This winter, phrases like “polar vortex” and “snowmageddon” became part of the American vernacular, and with good reason: The Free Press reports that many regions experienced record-breaking cold and snowfall, especially in the Eastern and Southern United States. Now that temperatures are finally starting to climb, one might expect Americans to stage a mass migration to sunny beaches or island resorts. There’s just one problem: Vacations are expensive and funds are in short supply.

“Of course I have doubts. Without doubts, I wouldn’t need faith,” I replied to a dear colleague, Shane, who asked me if I ever have doubts.

I could see in his eyes he was carrying doubts during a difficult time of grief. He had just lost his wife to breast cancer.

“My doubts allow me to ask questions,” I continued. “Those questions lead to answers. They in turn strengthen my faith.”

Shane nodded while taking a bite out of his ham and cheese toasted sandwich at the local Strathpine Coffee Club

Long before Doc Rivers found himself defending his Los Angeles Clippers players who were the unwelcome participants in team owner Donald Sterling’s racist comments all week, he was concerned about another sensitive subject.

It was late 1999, the start of Rivers’ first season as coach of the Orlando Magic, and he saw a situation in the locker room that he felt needed to be addressed. As his players took part in the pre-game pra

Thirty years ago this week, I stood at a church altar in Gainesville, Fla., and pledged my life to Deborah Delk. We didn’t have a lot of money since I was working for a Christian campus ministry, but Deborah didn’t care that all our worldly possessions could fit easily in my 1980 Honda Civic. She loved me, I loved her, and we knew Jesus had brought us together. That’s really all we needed to start life together.

How do you treat God and how do you want God to treat you? People desire God to solve all their problems for them and make them very comfortable, but they forget that God also desires certain things from us too. Until you meet God's requirements you will only enjoy occasional drops of mercies. This post emphasizes the need to treat God well in order to have Him treat you well.
