Lil Maurice Rated PG

Praise God! When I was a little tike, of about five years of age (1975). I guess I thought I was some kind of explorer or zoologist or something, because I used to go around searching for Moby Dick (the fictional whale). I can't remember hearing the story, and I know I didn't read the long novel. But I was obsessed with finding this creature. Which is kind of embarrassing when I think back on it. Somehow I got the idea that Moby Dick lived down in the sewer system, under the manhole covers. One summer day a friend and I, with our big afro's and bell-bottom pants, were playing at my house. My mother (RIP 1/8/50- 5/19/86) decided to take me and my friend with her so she could see her friend, who lived in another part of the hood. When we got there we sat on the front porch. The nice lady offered my friend and I some watermelon. After eating that, my friend and I went around to the back of the house, as my mother and her friend sat on the front porch talking. While...

Keeping Love Fresh: Lessons from a Crab Date Night

Image
This October, Maurice and I decided to shake things up with a seafood date night. If you’d been there, you’d have seen us both cracking crab legs, bibs on, hands messy, eyes locked over a mountain of crustaceans. It was all very romantic—and a little hilarious. There we were, pinching and cracking away, determined to get every last bit of crab meat. It was an evening filled with laughter, a little bit of shell splatter, and a reminder of why dates are so important for keeping our love fresh. As it says in *Song of Solomon 4:10,* “How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse! how much better is thy love than wine!” (Or in this case, better than crab legs!) But this got me thinking: like seafood, marriage requires attention, seasoning, and a little spice to stay fresh. If you don’t keep stirring the pot, you risk letting things go cold. In *Matthew 24:12,* we’re warned that “because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.” Isn’t it true in marriage, too? We must intentional...

HOT Summer

Image
Some guys profess their love with flowers, but not my Maurice! This summer, I experienced a surprise that will stay with me forever. It was a hot, sunny day, the kind that makes you dream of poolside lounging and cool breezes, but my husband had something else up his sleeve. Out of nowhere, he called me outside. He had a surprise. I had no idea what to expect—a cute summer dress, maybe? A dinner reservation? But when I stepped out, I couldn't believe my eyes. There, gleaming under the sun, was a brand-new, fire-engine-red Chevy Blazer! To say I was shocked would be an understatement. This was the car I’d admired for so long, always drawn to its sleek design and sporty look. The red color was perfect for summer, bold and vibrant, and the Blazer itself just screamed adventure. It was as if he had brought a bit of the summer sun down to earth just for me. And let me tell you, the first time I slid behind the wheel, I felt like a million bucks. Now, every time I hit the road in that go...
