Paul’s Ponder
6 This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s servants, who give their full time to governing. 7 Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.
Romans 13: 6-7
April - Taxes are due! Paul says in the verses preceding this that those in authority are God’s servant for your good (v. 4). Pay your taxes.
Notice that on the same level as taxes Paul mentions paying debts, respect and honor. Respect and honor seem very different to taxes and debts, yet Paul gives them similar importance.
Several years ago in Palm Desert, we started a yearly honor to glorify God through His servants. We usually don’t know about people very much until we attend their memorials. Then we say, “I wish I had known them better.” God has blessed each congregation with people who have amazing stories. The Bible is full of stories of people who have accomplished things to encourage us to be better people for God. God hasn’t stopped working. Personal stories today can also encourage and inspire us.
I recently finished a book by Terry Wells-Jones entitled, Reflections! Looking in the Mirror. Terry is a member of the Palm Desert church. She is outgoing, sweet and a very loving person. But I never would have guessed what she has done that has touched the lives of millions. Terry is a godly, talented woman who broke through glass ceilings as a model and business woman. Terry has opened up opportunities for all women. She talks in her book about growing up in a small rural town and the disrespect she received during the Jim Crow era. She is open about her struggles but mostly she is encouraging about the power of faith. You need to buy this book and read it. It will encourage you to be a more focused and determined person. God bless you, Terry, for sharing your encouraging and inspiring example.

Excellent choice for a gentle daily lotion
I have dry, mature skin, so I’m always looking for a lotion that actually hydrates without feeling heavy or irritating. I’ve been using the Koji White Body Lotion and it’s been a really nice addition to my routine. The formula feels lightweight but still moisturizing enough for my dry skin. It absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave a sticky or greasy film, which I really appreciate.
I like that it contains kojic acid and papaya extract. Over time my skin has looked a bit smoother and more even, and it definitely feels softer after applying. The lotion is pH balanced and free from parabens and artificial dyes, which makes it gentle enough for everyday use on my more mature, sensitive skin.
Another thing I enjoy is the light, pleasant scent, it’s subtle and fresh without being overpowering. Overall, it keeps my skin feeling hydrated, nourished, and comfortable throughout the day, and I’ve had no irritation. It’s a good daily lotion if you want something moisturizing with skin brightening ingredients that still feels gentle.

Silky, Effective Body Lotion With Strong Scent
In the winter, my skin is prone to becoming very dry and flaky. I ordered this "Kojic Acid & Papaya Body Lotion - Exfoliating, Hydrating, Moisturizing, Skin Care for Sun-Damaged Skin" by Koji White hoping it could help keep my skin from feeling dry and itchy. I ordered this lotion in mid Dec 2025, and the bottle is labeled with a manufacturing date in late Oct 2025 and an expiration date of Oct 2028. I’d consider this a very fresh product. The pump works smoothly, and I didn’t have any trouble getting it to dispense lotion. The label lists Thailand as the country of manufacture. I also liked that the listing describes the product as vegan and free of animal testing. I’ve been vegetarian for about 30 years, so this matters to me.
I’m aroma sensitive, and this lotion lists fragrance as one of the ingredients, which is always a gamble for me. I definitely detect tropical fruity notes, and papaya is listed in both the name and ingredient list. There’s also a noticeable floral scent. I don’t usually like floral fragrances, but the fruity and floral scents complement each other fairly well. Unfortunately, the scent is much stronger than I prefer and seems to linger.
I really like how this lotion feels on my skin. It’s a little less creamy than I expected given how hydrating it is, but it applies smoothly and evenly. It absorbs quickly without leaving my skin feeling sticky or greasy. My skin feels hydrated and silky smooth after applying, and it’s made a noticeable difference in how the skin on my legs looks and feels. Unfortunately, I’ve only been able to use it on my legs when I’m wearing pants because the fragrance is too intense for me. I love the results and wish I could comfortably use it all over.
Overall, I really like this lotion. It has everything I look for to help prevent dry winter skin. The only drawback for me is that it’s more heavily scented than I prefer. At the time of my order, the 250 ml (8.45 oz) bottle cost $20. Given the quality and performance, that feels like a good value. For people who enjoy more strongly scented products, this lotion could be an excellent choice. Since fragrance preference is so personal, I won’t be deducting any stars from my rating.

Lovely!
I have been using this Kojic Acid and Papaya body lotion, and it is just a lovely lotion with a great scent. That papaya gives it such a sweet, tropical aroma that makes me feel like I’m on a bit of a vacation every time I put it on after my morning shower.
It’s been very hydrating for my skin, and I’ve noticed it has a nice exfoliating quality that helps smooth out those rough patches, especially on my elbows and knees. It’s a real comfort to know that it’s vegan and paraben-free, so I don't have to worry about any harsh chemicals while I’m trying to take care of sun-damaged areas. The 8.45-ounce bottle is a perfect size for the vanity, and the lotion itself sinks right in without leaving me feeling greasy, which is a real plus when I’m trying to get dressed in a hurry.
