  1. THE WAGES OF SILENCE



    He did not need to shout.

    His voice was quiet—
    the kind that lingers
    long after the room is empty.

    He spoke in warnings,
    in looks,
    in the space between
    what was done
    and what could be said.

    And we learned quickly—
    silence
    was safer.

    Or so it seemed.

    Because silence
    does not stay still.

    It grows.

    It wraps itself
    around the throat,
    settles in the chest,
    teaches the body
    how to keep quiet
    even when it is breaking.

    He walked freely
    through our unsaid words,
    unchallenged,
    unseen—

    made powerful
    by what we carried
    for him.

    And I—
    I held it too.

    Like a secret
    that did not belong to me.

    Like a weight
    I was told
    was mine to bear.

    Until I understood—

    silence
    is not always protection.

    Sometimes,
    it is the place
    power hides.

  3. Most of you know that my wife has been in the mental hospital lately and is now out. She will hopefully return to work Friday. I am still concerned that she is not ready but we cannot wait any longer.

    Her paycheck last week was less than half of the usual amount and the mortgage company is threatening to foreclose on the house despite only being behind one month.

    And a “friend” who mailed us $1000 Monday, messaged me today going off about how they want their money back immediately. What did I do to upset them? I didn’t bring them up on TikTok. Yep, that’s right.

    I don’t bring people up on TikTok when I go live. Been burnt before doing that and so for the last 5 years, I haven’t brought anyone up. But they felt entitled to be brought up because they sent me money.

    This is someone who I have helped thru so many struggles. I have dropped everything to help them. I never expected anything from them nor did I mention anything I did for them. And they went out of their way to make sure when they mailed the money to tell me there were no strings attached to the “gift”.

    And like an idiot, I believed them.

    I should probably be mad, but I am not. I feel sad. I feel broken. And I guess I screwed up by not just bringing them up on TikTok.

    These are the moments in ministry and life I hate.

    Thanks for listening.
