The brother of the prodigal son was angry because his younger brother returned home AFTER squandering all he had been given and was being celebrated. And yet he stayed and worked like a slave for his father and didn't get the things his younger brother had gotten. But his father told him, "You've always been with me, everything I have is yours." He had access to all of the same things his younger brother had asked for. He just never opened his mouth. And he may have not known that it was available to him which begs the question, how much did he and his father talk? How close of a relationship did him and his father truly have?   Facebook- http://business.facebook.com/talesfromabutterflyInstagram-https://www.instagram.com/tsfaisonTwitter-https://twitter.com/tsfaisonWebsite-http://tariashondell.comLuke 15 vs. 11-32 NIV-https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+15&version=NIV

It was an apple falling from a tree that started Isaac Newton out on a journey that would change the scope of science. But the apple falling isn’t the remarkable part about his story. What’s remarkable was his questioning of the process of the apple falling. And then him daring to explore what was already in existence. Newton didn’t discover gravity, but he STUDIED gravity and helped the world understand it. And that's something that no one before him had done and it put him in position to impact the world. And it happened in the middle of a pandemic...

Sometimes we keep shoes way longer than we should because they are comfortable and familiar. But we’ve walked through dirty and contaminated places IN these shoes. And then, in these same shoes that we don’t want to take off, we try to walk into intimate worship with the Father, into the Holy of Holy’s. Only to end up feeling like we haven't truly connected with GOD, that our worship is stunted and that we are not able to get the answers to questions we’ve been praying about. And we feel powerless in fighting life's battles. But Moses and Joshua are proof that when you are obedient and take off your shoes of the world in Gods’ intimate presence, we get the answers, direction, authority, power and Victory that we have been searching for.

Deion Luwynn "Prime Time" Sanders Sr. is the FIRST and ONLY of his kind to exist in an appointed, measured, historical period. And because of what his heart saw and his mouth proclaimed at 7 years old, he not only was a part of history…he MADE history. He did what no one before him and no one after him has managed to do. He played Major League Baseball and played in the NFL, the highest level in both sports, simultaneously. He's the only player to ever hit a home run in and score a touchdown, in the same week. Along with playing in the World Series and the Super Bowl. He did what some thought was impossible because he saw it for himself years ago. Deion has taught me that it doesn't have to be an impossible dream, because with Christ ALL things are possible.     Facebook- http://business.facebook.com/talesfromabutterflyInstagram-https://www.instagram.com/tsfaisonTwitter-https://twitter.com/tsfaisonWebsite-http://tariashondell.com
