No Man is an Island, so Why Try to be One?
My Austin family recently acquired four more goats to add to the family’s five goats, making it now a 9-member herd. One of the new goats was a loner from the start. He didn’t hang with the rest of the herd and stayed at least 20-feet away from them. The family kept trying to bond…
Proven Way to Get Your Way
Oh my. This girl. She. Cracks. Me. Up. On the way to Beavers Bend a couple of weeks ago, my granddaughter was working her daddy over to stop “pleeease” stop at a Chick-fil-A so she could get a biscuit. We were already running behind in our schedule. And she could have easily gotten herself one…
Life is Like a Roller Coaster
Life is Like a Roller Coaster. I’ve been enjoying the photos shared by FB friends that are having the times of their lives on their summer vacations. They didn’t waste a minute getting their summer fun on! Some have made trips to the mountains and others made their way to giant roller coaster mountains at…

Our Room With a View
After a sweet heaven-on-earth few days at Beavers Bend with my family, we parted ways as they returned to Frisco, and I headed to Tulsa because the next day I would be attending a Confirmation Retreat as a sponsor to a precious teenage girl. First things first when I go to Tulsa — I go…
Life Moves Pretty Fast — Don’t Miss It!
In the words of the great philosopher, Ferris Bueller, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you’ll miss it!” That wisdom is so true, and unless you’re my age, or more, you may not give those words a second thought now…..but give it a few years, and…
I Keep Trusting the Lord With All My Heart
When I lived in Tulsa and headed up a Life Group in my home, I bought several of these little plates to give to the gals on their birthday. I’d add some yummy treats to the gift, but the words from Proverbs 3:5, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart” was the most important…
