Take Me Out to the Ballgame
My dreams came true. We’ve always been a fan of any of our grandchildren’s pursuits in life and did our best to not miss any of them. We didn’t want to miss anything they were competing at, but most seasons – they lived in different states and we could only follow them by their parents’…
If God Said it – We Can Count on it
When Brennan (my 16-year-old grandson) came over and saw all the boxes and the kitchen counters loaded up with items from those boxes, he asked, “Nana, did you bring our sippy cups?” I laughed and assured him that somewhere in these boxes are those sippy cups. He believed me. He can count on his nana’s…
Resetting the Mindset
Rarely do I strain for what to blog about each day, but when I am having a brain freeze, I step away from the computer and become intentional to “seeking and finding”. I don’t think seeking and finding will be difficult living in this community. Like yesterday when I intentionally walked down to get my…
We’ve Only Just Begun
That was one of our favorite songs by The Carpenters. As a young married couple, we sang that song completely unaware of what lie ahead of us, but as long as we had each other, we knew we’d make it past every bump in the road we might encounter. Sounds like unrealistic thinking, but it…
This is my Temporary Home
I’m HOME in Austin. Officially. My family brought over yummy Mexican food to celebrate. They welcomed me with so much love. First night’s sleep was solid — once I got to sleep. Same bed in new location. Feels good. I’m thrilled to have landed safe and sound and unboxing is my mode of operation right…
This Yellow Rose of Texas is Still Blooming
Look at my little yellow rose bush that decided to bloom in the freezing cold of winter. It spoke of hope and “Spring is on its way!” But it was teasing me. I took this photo just before the Arctic blast swept through. All my excitement of a “change” never looked like last week’s days…
There’s Something About That Name
qQ/OBlh9auxJ3sC21ASjPjtp8v8sI-bpKxBQCLcBGAsYHQ/s600/Jesus%2Bname%2Bpower.jpg”/>A couple of days ago I blogged about our Great Physician and being able to call on Him 24/7 because He is ALWAYS on duty. In that blog I shared about how I learned to call on the name of Jesus when my babies or my grandbabies had a fever or cold or when I…
It Smells and Tastes so Good
Since this is the first Sunday of Lent — the 40 days leading up to Easter when we go introspective to examine our hearts, I’m thinking about food. What? Seriously! Isn’t that the way it is when we purposely decide we’re not going to eat this or that as an offering or sacrifice to God,…
Is our Great Physician on Leave?
Telemedicine is a great way to have our minds eased from the comfort of our homes. Recently, my doctor and I had a visit this way after some tests were run. But today I’m wondering if we think our Great Physician is too busy for us and our only solution is Telemedicine or a trip…
This Time I’m NOT Speed Reading
In December, the pastor at my Austin family’s church held up a paperback “One Year Bible”, while encouraging everyone to read through the Bible this year. After all, if we want wisdom, divine guidance, and God’s favor, then studying God’s Word daily and acting upon it, will be the key to success in 2021. At…
