Have you ever googled something you should have been praying about? I am ashamed to say. I have. And it wasn’t that long ago. My head was spinning, my heart was heavy and I was at a complete loss for what to do. It involved people…and drama (which I try to run from…but couldn’t).  So […]

She wanted hand sanitizer.  (Click on the picture to see the video.) My niece, Sophia, had seen her parents use it at home and now she wanted it too. When my brother-in-law, Sam, wouldn’t give it to her, she proceeded to try to get it herself. She isn’t tall enough to reach the counter but that […]

As a child, my parents hosted many events in our home whether it was having friends over for dinner or having our family over during the holidays. We learned at a young age that in order for our home to be prepared for our guests, each of us had to help out with groceries, cooking […]

Dear Friend, Has it been one of those days, weeks or months for you? Perhaps you are hurt and feeling broken. Maybe you are devastated by life-altering news. It’s hard not to feel overwhelmed, isn’t it? It’s even more challenging when you think that no one cares or understands. With darkness and despair all around you, […]

Have you ever felt like you were the default? Yes, you got the job, promotion, or opportunity but was it because they really wanted you to have it?  Or because the person they actually chose couldn’t, wouldn’t or just didn’t want to take it?

There are a lot of voices to listen to.  The cheerleaders, the parents, fellow teammates and of course, the coach. One dad is yelling “Go to the basket” while a teammate is saying, “Pass me the ball!”.  The […]

Recently when I taught on worship, it brought to light what I have felt for years.  Worship is giving extravagant honor to the Lord. The amount of love God has demonstrated is unfathomable and He alone is worthy of all praise.   I don’t know about you, but it seems completely natural to do such […]

A little over twenty years ago, I sat on my bed sobbing. My young mind was convinced that I would never be happy again. My friends allowed me to sulk for a little while, but after a few weeks, one friend in particular had enough of me and my sad self. “Binu, That’s enough. It’s […]

For years, I have been a part of the leadership/writing team here at Whispers & Fringes. Every week I pray, read, study and then write as the Lord leads.  But every so often, as I hit the submit key, I hear the voice of the enemy. ‘Is anyone even going to read what you just […]

If you have lived life long enough, you have probably experienced deep sadness. I know I have. A diagnosis, a betrayal… whatever the cause, you are left engulfed and overwhelmed with sorrow…so much so, you can hardly move. You are not alone. Theologians believe Psalm 3 & 4 were written during one of the darkest […]
