Transitions & Frustrations
A few weeks ago, my daughter, Staci, had a dream come true opportunity to meet up with her daughter, Alexia, in the UK after Alexia’s missions’ trip was over. The next morning, they attended Hillsong’s Sunday services and then took the bullet train to Paris. Staci met up with a friend, Irina, in the UK…
Unshakable & Unstoppable
“Masters champion Scottie Scheffler’s faith and focus make him unshakable, and perhaps, unstoppable.” “With Scottie Scheffler’s wife home pregnant, 2024 Masters winner succeeds despite absence of his rock.” Those were the headlines after Scottie became the Masters Open champion on Sunday. Aw! “His faith! His wife!” Words that touch my heart strings! It was a…
The Mind & the Mine Connection
“Mine!” That’s what toddlers say when another child wants to play with their toys. I remember my own children saying “Mine!” It took some time to change their “minds” to be generous, kind and giving. But that “Mine!” attitude isn’t easy to break. Even, as adults, “mine” is a part of our DNA. My plans.…
Let’s Eat
You ought to see us at our Thursday night’s Mix and Mingle. I mean those of us who live at Everleigh Lakeline 60+ community. You would think that we were starving birds in the wilderness as we line up to fill our plates with another scrumptious meal. Let’s eat! We love those words! They mean…
Owning Up to Our Authority
We’re still navigating our way with Jesus when He was in and out of places after His resurrection. He served up fried fish for His disciples by a campfire as they came to Him from their fishing boat. Jesus gave plenty of opportunities for witnesses to see Him alive and well AFTER He came back…
I’m a Jesus Fan
Yes, I’m a Jesus fan! I can’t help myself. He has done so much for me in the peace, comfort and joy categories that makes me want to make Him even more famous. My blogs speak of Him often. I’m sure you have seen Jesus fans carrying signs on street corners that say something like…
All is Vanity
I spend way too much time looking at myself in the mirror. Lord, have mercy! My mother is looking back at me! The aging struggle is real. Usually, these days, I take a good quick look at who is staring back at me because the girl I once was, is long gone. But then, I…
God is in the Details
Details — those ominous, pit-filled, heart-wrenching times when we ask: “Why? Why? Why?” But hold on, friends, God is in the details!!! We are having our morning devotions when we start looking for answers to some almost overwhelming issues. A sales contract on Carl’s home seems to have a glitch. During the inspection, some plumbing…
God’s Cinematography
We heard the perfect place to view the total solar eclipse was Luckenbach, Texas. Friends said it would be the crème-de-la-crème location of seeing it happen there in full cinematography. Knowing the highways would be packed with travelers, sweet home Austin had a better offer for us. Our next-door neighbors, Texas Children’s Hospital, offered our…
God’s Handiwork in the Heavens
On August 21, 2017, millions of people witnessed the last full solar eclipse. While I have a great appreciation for the wonders in the skies and on the earth, I didn’t get carried away with it all until I was at my car dealership. The service guys were outside with their welder’s masks. My service…
