Can You See Me Now?
Remember that old Verizon commercial and the guy trying to find good phone reception and kept saying “Can you hear me now?” What about that visual connection and those words, “Can you SEE me now?” Like any parent or grandparent, I love to watch my family excel in their specific talents and abilities. I get…
Have You Ever Been Caught in the Act?
Hand in the cookie jar? Cookie crumbs all over your face? Have you ever been frozen in your tracks when the lights came on? Rendered motionless like a deer in the headlights? Frozen with your heart pounding through your chest? Gotten a ticket for speeding? Our minds can go all over the place with that…
God Reaching Out to Man; Man Reaching Out for God
At the discipleship training I attend on Tuesday nights, this beautiful picture of Michelangelo’s painting of “The Creation of Adam”, on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, was shown on a large screen. This famous image is God and Adam reaching for each other with their arms outstretched. It took Michelangelo four years, from 1508-1512,…
Animal Lovers & People Lovers — Let’s Unite!!
I was having my early-morning devotion on the Wuerch Family’s back patio when Bryson, my 10 year old joined me. Oh how I love that boy and the “talks” we have. We started talking about how crazy the world seems and what a shame it is that people are being so ugly to each other.…
Do Your Faith Roots Run Deep?
After living in Oklahoma for 40+ years, I know what winds, lightning, and even ice can do to a tree. Those strong winds threaten to uproot the tree and carry it away. The lightning and ice breaks off branches. And when the summer storm or winter ice storm is over, it can look quite hopeless…
On the Road Again — Back to My Traveling Sacred Space
I headed out for my 4-hour trek from Austin to home in Frisco yesterday afternoon. I’m strategic about my travels. I left in the afternoon, since it was a Sunday and less traffic, but usually, on a week day, I’ll leave at 6 am — early enough to get ahead of Austin morning traffic and…
Be the Best Version of YOU
Since hearing the phrase “Be the best version of yourself”, I’ve not only endeavored to apply those words to myself, but in the few days I’ve been with my two younger grandsons, I spoke those words to them several times. You know, that smack-talking kids like to do when they’re playing competitive games with each…
We’ll Take the Fast Pass, Please!
This last March, my Wallace Family and I went to Disney World in honor of the 10-year anniversary since Papa (my husband) celebrated his 60th birthday and Alexia celebrated her 6th birthday there. It was so special to be there to remember that special time we had together before. What made it even more special…
The Wide Eyed Wonder of a Child
I’m still in Austin with my two youngest grandsons and, I’ll admit, I’m holding on to their child-like ways. They still want their Super Brennan and Super Bryson stories, and Bryson still wants to sleep with me and they still pull off some of those imaginary super-hero antics. I know these days are numbered. Before…
TEAM-Work: Together Everyone Accomplishes More
I’m back in Austin with my two youngest grandsons who make for sweet times of board games, helping with homework, helping feed the animals and all the other shenanigans that works Nana’s brain AND body! LOL! I was helping Bryson with his science homework which included the study of birds, and specifically, pelicans. Instead of…
