Is There a Rainbow Yet?
We’ve all been watching with concern as Hurricane Harvey and its flood waters ravage the countless communities and cities in Texas, and now Louisiana. I haven’t been able to blog about “raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, blue satin sashes, and warm woolen mittens” when our precious brothers and sisters (we’re all God’s children)…
He Rescued Me
Over the last few days, I’ve seen such remarkable and heart-stirring scenes of people being rescued out of the rushing flood waters of Hurricane Harvey, off of roof tops, and from cars and homes. Thanks be to God for America where our people – first responders, volunteers, churches, charitable organizations, and so many others are…
Comfort and Coziness Can Be So Trivial
Getting a good night’s sleep is high priority for me so having the just right room ambiance, cool temperature, white noise playing, and several pillows to accompany me are all on my “must have”, nighttime list. Last night, as I laid down in my cozy and comfy bed, I realized how blessed I am as…
Once Upon a Time…….
I love that start to a story because you just know there’s going to be a happy ending at the end. But I love this beginning even more….. Once upon a tree…..a Creator gave His life for His creation. From the very beginning of time…..this true story began….but there was never, and there will never…
Power Up, BRAIN!
My precious mom would say to her doctor “Doc, some mornings I just don’t want to get out of bed at all!” His reply was always “The day you decide to do that, expect to be bedridden very soon!” In essence, he was saying “If you don’t use it – you’ll lose it!” This is…
GIRL!!! You’re Still Here — So You’re Not Done!!!
I’m flattering myself to call me “girl”, but, yes it’s my birthday. Yay! I made it another year. I’m still here, so I’m not done living this wonderful life God gave me. This is the day the Lord made ME, and I’m so grateful He did. That may sound self-gratifying, but honestly, I’m just following…
I’ve Got Friends in High Places
Garth Brooks sold a lot of records with his song, “I’ve Got Friends in Low Places….where the whiskey drowns, and the beer chases my blues away and I’ll be okay.” Seriously?? Goodness gracious – doesn’t that just make you want to go hang out with those friends? NOT! I started thinking about the “low life”…
“Being Grateful In Good, Bad and In-Between Times”
When my home in Tulsa sold and I wasn’t even trying to sell it, I knew it was a sure sign that God was sending me to Frisco, TX. That’s where my daughter and family live. Don’t you love it when God gives undeniable directions to us – and we don’t even need to ask…
Doctor — Please Give Me the Good News First!!!
Yesterday millions of people witnessed the solar eclipse in some way. While I have a great appreciation for the wonders in the skies and on the earth, I’ll admit I didn’t get carried away with it all until I was at my car dealership for an oil change and the service guys were outside with…
It Only Takes a Spark to Get a Memory Going
Over the last few days, I’ve been attracted to watching some PGA golf (certainly not my usual choice for TV-watching). Maybe it was because my son was playing in a golf tournament this weekend. When I turned on the TV yesterday afternoon and the women’s 2017 Solheim Cup was on, my mind was flooded with…
