If He Cares for the Little Sparrows……
I’m sitting here in Tulsa at Mom’s breakfast table, looking out at the 17th fairway of the golf course, but what captured my attention was the little sparrows jumping from limb to limb in the huge tree that she and Dad planted 25 years ago. Those little sparrows are having a hay-day chirping, playing and…
“Knock Knock” But No One’s Saying “Who’s There?”
My word of the day is KNOCK — to strike a surface noisily to attract attention; pound, beat – BUT you’ve been knocking and pounding and beating and trying to attract attention, but it just seems NO ONE is there!! Have you ever felt like you were knocking on God’s door and it just seemed…
Alone, Lonely or Solitude
My word(s) for today are ALONE, LONELY, SOLITUDE. ALONE: having no one else present; on one’s own.

Persevere AND Stand Firm
PPERSEVERE is defined as: carry on, keep going, be persistent, follow through, keep at it, but it also means to stand one’s ground, STAND FIRM, stay the course, unmovable, and hold on.

“I’m Getting ENGAGED in 2018!”
I heard someone say that, and I thought “So am I”. Hers meant making a commitment to getting married. Mine meant I’m purposing to be less distracted and more on-purpose to give my full attention to those I encounter. It’s looking into someone’s eyes when they speak to me — giving them my undivided attention.…
Happy Martin Luther King Day!
Happy Martin Luther King Day! I segue from my “word of the day” to this “phrase of the day”. When I think about that greeting, I can’t help but think about the price this man paid to have a day named after him. With a quick google “What does it take to have a Federal…
Here We Are to WORSHIP
Here I Am to Worship My word of the day is: WORSHIP — the feeling or expression of reverence, adoration, exaltation, honor for God (the dictionary says for a diety, but in my case – the only ONE who deserves WORSHIP is our ONE TRUE GOD). This morning my Christmas season is officially over as…
Time to Recalibrate
. As a “single” being out on the road so much between all my travels to Tulsa and Austin, my navigation system has been a good friend that keeps me on course, and it gives me the security of knowing where I’m at at any given time. That navigation system ranks in my highest priority…
Carpe Momentum — Seize the Moment
Often I blog about making moments count. There’s a Latin phrase for it: Carpe Momentum which means “Seize the Moment”. I’m thrilled to be alive HERE on planet earth today in this generation. Even though I live in a 55+ community, I sure don’t want to hang with anyone who thinks “old”. I love hanging…
