Nothing to Fear
I’ve had many tears and sorrows. I’ve had questions for tomorrow. There have been times I didn’t know right from wrong. But in every situation, God gave me blessed consolation, that my trials come to only make me strong. Those who have heard and sung the songs of Andrae Crouch (we sang many of them),…
Make Me an Instrument of Your Peace
Because of a Leadership Training in Richardson, TX on Saturday, I drove down a few days early to be with my kids in Frisco. Being in the Dallas area when the tragic shootings took place on Thursday night, hearing the heart-wrenching details of the police and civilians killed or injured, brought memories back to me…
He’s Still Looking Out For Me
Yesterday, I was filled with so much thanksgiving, yet a little weepy, missing my Sweetheart on our 50th Wedding Anniversary. That’s how I roll. I purpose to live with joy, peace and thanksgiving, but there are still those tender times of sweet memories that bring a few tears to my eyes (yesterday, a few more…

Good Thing God Never Changes…..Because I Sure Do!
I remember how much I wanted to gain weight when I was a teenager. I was so skinny they called me “beanpole”. I even took Raquel Welch’s recommendation and took “Wate-On” tablets (for real) because I wanted to look like my peers who had already “filled out” quite nicely (at least in my eyes, they…
I Believe
Days before I posted my July 4th post, I had put up my “red, white and blue” decor’. Patriotism is a big deal to me. My dad and my brother served in the armed forces, my brother-in-law did, and my oldest grandson serves now. I am proud to be an American, and I’m proud to…
God Bless America! Almighty God, We DEPEND on YOU!
It’s the day we’ve been waiting for…..cookouts (in our case, a fish fry — yum), fun, games AND…..fireworks — either man-handling them ourselves, or sitting back and relaxing as we watch the red, white and blue bursts of fire and lights! I have such fond memories of 4th of July celebrations at the Cotton Bowl…
