Who is Trevor Lawrence, Anyway?

My son texted me on Tuesday: “Good morning! I love you! Wow, did Alabama get stomped!” My reply, without looking at the score of the Clemson/Alabama championship game, was “They sure did. I’m sure they were humbled.” Actually, I didn’t see the game. Once Oklahoma was out, so was I. But, subsequently I did check…

I Was Fed Up

“Fed Up” = has had enough of a situation; annoyed with a state of affairs that has persisted for a long time. A year ago this January, a crown was placed on my back fractured tooth. I was hounded for years by my dentists to get that crown. The only problem I was having were…

One of my friends recently posted that she was well underway with filling in the blanks on her 2019 calendar. She must accomplish this feat because she has three children and with getting them to school and to their music and voice lessons, sports practices and games, as well as her own responsibilities as a…

You know that sudden realization – that aha moment – when you suddenly understand the reality of something or the meaning of something.

Good-Bye Past, But Thanks for the Memories!

I randomly watched the televised Garth Brooks Concert at Notre Dame last week. Impressive, massive crowd to hear him as he was literally “singing in the rain”. When he sang, “I Thank God for Unanswered Prayers”, I’ll admit I had to sit down and watch him AND the camera’s crowd highlights of couples looking into…

Do You Feel Like Quitting — Already?

It’s just day three of 2019 and maybe you’re already feeling like quitting before you ever really get started on your New Year’s resolutions. I plan on spending more time with the Lord in the mornings, but “This morning I need to shorten it up because I have a funeral to go to!” I plan…

Till There Was You

I was recently driving my 14-year-old grandson to school when he asked: “What’s your favorite song, Nana?” Without much thought, I said, “‘Till There Was You” and I proceeded to explain that song was Papa’s and my wedding song. He had his phone connected by Bluetooth and searched for it and up came the Beatle’s…
