Does Your Heart Need a Defibrillator (Your Spiritual Heart, that is)?
A few days ago I shared about the rhythms of our lives and if we trust God, He will set the tempo and even when there’s ups and downs, we’ll understand all the various rhythms can be by God’s design. I knew I was supposed to move to Texas when my home in Tulsa sold…
Our Faith Footprints
Our Faith Footprints A few days ago, a dear cousin (Royce Milton Beckett — on my husband’s dad’s side of the family), graduated to heaven and, of course, thoughts go to the precious times we had with him, as well as the footprints he left behind for us to follow. He was a beautiful soul,…
Do We Reflect God’s Glory?
Do We Reflect God’s Glory? Have you ever been on the other side of the audience — the side of the speaker who is speaking to the audi? I have, and I’ve learned to focus on the smiling faces and those with the bright and glistening “I’m with you” eyes, and simply overlook those mellow…
What’s Do They Think When They Hear Your Name?
One of the many perks of my residence here in Frisco, TX is that my sweet cousins, Charles & Mary Ellen Snow, live in the same community as me. Just a couple of days ago we spent nearly three hours “remembering” so many family traditions and moments, while looking at old photos and doing our…
We Know More as We Grow More and Learn More
‘ve used every excuse in the world to deter me from my early morning walks, but this day, I was on purpose. First, I thoroughly sprayed myself with bug spray (we were alerted that mosquitoes are on a rampage here — and the West Nile Virus has been reported. That was reason enough to deter…
Inconvenient Circumstances or Divine Appointments?
I’ve been taking you with me on my journeys lately — even beyond my Holy Lands trip. Yesterday I alluded to my sharing God’s love to a couple of people — one being a young man who was the tow truck driver for my car. Here’s the back-drop to that story. While driving from a…
The Rhythms of Life and How They Ebb and Flow
Life is interesting, isn’t it? We go through different stages of life in what seems like a blink of an eye. After my sweetheart left for his heavenly assignment, the sweet rhythm of God’s grace and love had steady flow that kept me wrapped up in such peace and security. I had my family, church,…
And the Walls Came Tumbling Down!
Several years ago, my husband and I really needed to sell some highway frontage property that we owned. He was very ill and we needed the sale in order to help make ends meet at that challenging time in our lives. My husband’s sister grabbed my hand and said “Come on. We’re going to do…
I Am My Beloved’s and He Is Mine
Please indulge me as I’m still living in the precious moments of my recent Holy Lands’ trip. I spent most of yesterday going through my journal and taking note of God’s special blessings. Needless to say, I felt so wrapped up in God’s love because of so many incidents that brought heaven to earth to…
Got Hunger? Get Filled!
Yesterday, I posted about the thirst for water AND God’s living water that will quench our thirst as we draw closer to Him. Today, it’s hunger for natural food and the food of God’s Word and presence. Our 13-day faith pilgrimage most certainly DIDN’T include a spiritual fast from food. We were literally filled with…
