It’s Snowing Somewhere Today
I’m feeling the love. God’s love, that is, because yesterday morning, while driving to church, it started snowing. I was thankful to be here to see it in typically-never-gets-snow Austin. When we came out of church, there was a good “sprinkling” of snow on the ground and it was still falling. Brennan put on Blake…
What Are YOU Pointing At?
My firstborn grandson was a late talker. Not that he couldn’t. He just wouldn’t. He preferred to point and make cute little “uh uh” sounds. And, you’d better believe we were on point to respond to his “uh uh’s” and his point. We were those kinds of grandparents who doted on our firstborn grandchild. We…
Open Wide – Take Your Dose of Laughter Medicine
I’m ordering an unlimited supply of it. Laughter medicine, I mean. If ever we needed a hearty dose, it is right here and now. I MUST live above the fray of those who are angry and upset about the election outcome, the incessant whining and complaining and living in fear about what tomorrow holds. The…
No Worries Because God is Still in Control
Dan Cook, a San Antonio sportscaster said: “The opera ain’t over till the fat lady sings.” And the ”fat lady” was a takeoff on Yogi Berra’s line, ”The game isn`t over till it’s over.” What, who or where it came from – I think it can be applied to the election. I think the “fat-lady”…
I’m a Christian — my Cross Proves It
I wear a gold cross around my neck almost every day. It bears memories of my Savior’s death and resurrection that gives me hope for today and tomorrow. I wear it for another reason. My cross and necklace belonged to my sweetheart. He wore it every day. I am aware of my cross’ presence. I…
Tada – All Things New!
Six days into this new year. We walked across the line of 2020 to 2021 and announced “Ta da and whoo hoo — 2020 is whosh — done AND gone! HAPPY NEW YEAR! All NEW and improved!” But alas – we’ve already found out that it isn’t really so. Well, the 2020 to 2021 is…
My Little Lady will not be Forgotten
I’m on a major downsizing mission. I am taking “out with the old and in with the new” seriously. Old clothes, old furniture, old treasures, old unnecessary items that take up too much space. I can’t begin to tell you how freeing it has been to clear out cluttered cabinets, clear off counters, clean out…
A Year of Great Expectations
I have started this new year on a “great expectation” high. I am over-the-top excited about the “new”. Certainly not expecting a Disney World kind-of-magical-year. Nor, singing “Somewhere over the rainbow where trouble melts like lemon drops.” My great expectations for 2021 are living this good life in simple confidence in “He Who began a…
An Epiphany of WHO He is and WHAT We Do About It
You know that aha moment – when you suddenly understand the reality of something or the meaning of something. I’ve had many “epiphany” moments when I could see something clearly when I understood “that” or when I was reading a Bible passage I had read many times before, but this time, I really understood it.…
In the Beginning….
2021 – a new beginning. We know several “in the beginnings”. “In the beginning – God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1) “In the beginning was the Word” (John 1:1) A song from “The Sound of Music” says, “Let’s start at the very beginning, a very good place to start.” And, here we…
