Great is Your Faithfulness
My “ROCK-solid” foundation came as a result of having parents that loved and served God with all their hearts. Our church seemed to be our second home. We were in there whenever the doors opened – oftentimes five times (or more) a week. I’m a lifelong Sunday School girl, and my memory bank is packed…
Anxious and Worried
I’m sure you’ve heard the buzz about the newest game, Pokemon GO. There are many various opinions about whether it is a fun game which endeavors to get people off their couches and out to get some activity in their lives or that’s it’s an evil scheme to bring harm to children and families. I’m…
Not on My Watch
My precious grandmother had 10 children. I remember her prayer “God, there’s not one of my children that are too bad for Satan to have. They will all come to know you in personal way before I ever leave this earth.” Maybe that’s what took her so long to “go home”, because when she passed…
Do you have Heaven-on-Earth moments?
Nearly 49 years ago, when my son was just 6-weeks old, I remember a little mini-vacation to Hilltop Lakes, Texas, that my husband and I took with cousins, Ron Haake and Noreen Haake. It was one of those 3-day, 2 night FREE gift packages to encourage guests to come and enjoy the place, with the…
Life is Like Candy Land! It’s a Sweet Spot or a Sticky Swamp!
Everyone that will read my post today will, no doubt, remember playing, at least one time or another, the “sweet” game of Candy Land. It still ranks as one of the most popular children’s games in the U.S. I’ve played it with my kids and grandkids — many times. The goal of the game is…
Where DO YOU Hide When Storms Come?
Yesterday, I heard a news commentator say, “We are in World War III.” I don’t think that was an “official” statement, but in the light of the literal wars against human lives all over world, it makes sense that World War II could be declared. As a kid, I remember the Duck and Cover drills…
Time for an Eye Exam and a Heart Check-Up?
Have you ever gotten a little speck or an eyelash in your eye and it was so painful until you managed to get it removed. Even though we know we shouldn’t rub our eye to try to remove it, we can’t help ourselves and, oftentimes, we just makes the matter worse. What about those conversations…
This, That and The Other
Often our lives are made up of having a little longing for THIS or being a little offended about THAT or complaining a little about the OTHER. Being dissatisfied about THIS, THAT or the OTHER. I’m guilty. Sometimes I have a longing for something on my bucket list. I was offended when an online merchant…
Selah! Pause, Praise…..and Rest a While
I heard a beautiful message last weekend on the importance of pausing to rest. The Hebrew word, selah, is used often in the Book of Psalm, and is defined as a pause at the end of a verse or in a musical arrangement, to pause between measures. The singer or instrumentalist sustains (or holds) the…
Her Children Rise Up and Call Her Blessed
Happy Birthday to my sweet angel Mom — she’d be 105 today. I ran past these photos of my her with her Great Granddaughter, my Alexia Wallace (14 years ago). I loved the “before” and “after” of Alexia getting hold of that bottle. LOL! I treasure photos like this because it reminds me of where…
