Flannel Board Jesus or 3-D Jesus…..He’s Still the Same!
Today, it’s a 3-D, 4-D, sound, lighting, visual and special effects world. Back in “my day”, the big deal in my Sunday School classes were the “no” tech flannel-board characters. Walking into Sunday School and seeing the flannel board all set up, meant it was going to be a great morning. Jesus was always smiling…
Happy Father’s Day
Happy Father’s Day to all the Fathers out there! Father’s Day brings me precious memories and so much gratitude for my own sweet Daddy and my precious husband who were incredible, devoted and loving fathers. They get to celebrate this Father’s Day together in heaven. And I’m so thankful for two of the most amazing…
What Would You Request of Your Genie?
When driving my two youngest grandsons to school, the older one, Brennan, asked his younger brother, Bryson, “If you had a genie in a bottle, what would you wish for?” They certainly earned love tokens when they both replied “For Nana to live with us forever!” Of course they had some other outlandish wishes, but…
“Fear Not! I Bring You Good News of Great Joy!”
Those are the words the angels spoke to the shepherds when they were announcing the birth of our Savior. This was also the scripture that I referenced in my message to a room filled with beautiful women at Christ the King Church last night. When I was asked to speak for this event several months…
Eliminate “I Am Just A…..” From Our Vocabulary
I asked a young woman what she did for a living and she responded “Oh, I’m just a stay-at-home Mom.” I quickly corrected her. I said, “You are NOT “just a” anything. You are so blessed to be able to be in a position of the highest honor and status. You are the royal queen…
No Right to Judge
Still in the wake of the Orlando tragedy, I find myself grasping for explanation of this world we are living in today and how we could all be so different. Typically, I fight the urge to push away the negatives that are resounding over media because I don’t fully understand it all, and because I…
Fighting the Good Fight of Faith
(This is one of my first ever blogs, June 12, 2010. I repost today because I thought, just maybe one of my FB friends could see how my Sweetheart and I “fought the good fight of faith” during his illness, 6 years ago. It blessed me then, it blesses me now — NEVER stop fighting…
In Times of Pain and Broken Hearts…..
Yesterday morning, the media broadcasted about the horrendous tragedy in Orlando. For those of us who feel safe in our cozy and comfy homes, it seems a far stretch to understand such an assault on human life. I was endeavoring to put words together for my post today, but then I saw this moving post…
Wise and Harmless
Yesterday, I started to Google something, and SLAM BAM, the warning pictured above (less the ip number) came up with a LOUD buzz that wouldn’t stop. I tried every key to stop it and nothing worked. My computer was totally locked up and my first thought, “This is a scam!” I called Larry, my technical…
Changing is Possible
I know it’s hard to believe, but in all honesty, I was a shy,timid introvert as I grew up. I avoided crowds, parties, and situations that would cause me to HAVE to interact with people. So, obviously, I was not chosen to be “Most Popular”. And, I know it’s even harder to believe that I…
