Living Above Reproach

I’ve really done some personal soul-searching in the light of the supreme court hearings of the last few weeks. I’ve thanked God, innocent or not, that no one has ever pulled something from my past and accused me of something I did. If anything good can come out of all this, perhaps it’s to awaken…

Carrying the Weight of the World

Some of my days are absolutely care-free! My little corner of the world is a happy place on those days: my family is in a good place, my health is good, my bills are paid, I feel love coming from every direction and I sing: “And, I think to myself, ‘What a Wonderful World!” Oh,…

The Golden Rule

As I watched some of the Kavanaugh hearings yesterday, I couldn’t help but think about the words of Jesus to the accusers of the woman caught in adultery, “You, without sin, cast the first stone.” As I type this post for today, Judge Kavanaugh’s words resonate with me: “I ask you to judge me by…

It’s Time to Come Out of the Closet

I loved the movie, “The War Room”, about a woman’s “prayer closet”. That’s where she went to prayerfully “battle for the souls of her family members”. And, while our prayer closets are certainly worthwhile for pleading our cases to God, it’s time we come out of our prayer closets long enough to go into the…

Making Love and Peace — Not War

Last week, I saw my 4-sisters cousins’ photo of them in front of the Colosseum in Rome while they were on a trek through Italy. I quickly found my photo when I was there last year because it stirred up a passion to share about the end of a barbarous era when hate and violence…

It’s Fall — My Favorite Season of the Year

It rained incessantly all day here in Frisco on Saturday. That beautiful drenching outside made for a glorious indoor day of wearing comfy clothes, thoroughly giving my home a good top-to-bottom cleaning, and then rewarding myself at the end of the day with a sweet Hallmark movie, popcorn, and a chocolate shake. Aw — the…

Disciple, Discipled, Discipling

My daughter completed writing another book that has been sent off to the publisher. I was grateful to be her technical writer, going through the manuscript with a “fine tooth comb” to review it for clarity, punctuation, grammar, and content. With the wisdom she learned from her own life experiences, she wrote as a disciple…

Oh, Well!

I sent a lengthy email to a friend, bearing my filled-with-concerns soul, but being the optimist soul that I am, I was pleased to add my resolutions to the concerns also. In reply, my friend said, “You are way too concerned about little things. Stop overthinking!” I needed that bold admonition. Truth and wise counsel…
