The TREAT of October 31st, 1922
This sweet little lady is my dear mother-in-law, Lydia (Winick) Wuerch, who God presented to the world 99 years ago today. Though she was born on the day attributed to Halloween, she was always the TREAT, not the trick. I talk a lot about her because her life changed my life since I was 12…
In Rusk, TX where they are working relentlessly on their property that will be a blessing to many, I received this text message from my daughter on Thursday: “It’s intense here; 60+ mph winds! Our contractors are having to take measures on our house so that it doesn’t come apart. Please pray for secure protection…
Last weekend could not have been more exhilarating and memorable. I rolled back the curtain of many treasured memories that sparked undaunted faith for miracles. Don’t you tell me God can’t answer prayer! I have proof positive from just a couple of days of “raising hallelujahs” for what God has done. Hopefully, I’ll increase your…
This blog today is inspired by my DEAR son, Larry, and his new John DEERE tractor. Larry is a do-gooder by nature (the “goods” are beyond numbering for this blog). So, what does God do, but give him the desire of his heart, his tractor. This blog was also inspired by my good friend and…
I saw this photo at Baylor, Scott and White’s hospital parking area. Notice that the car with the skeleton and sword are in a handicap parking space? I’m reserving my thoughts. You’re welcome to have yours. But this scene propelled me into my annual rant. Ghosts, goblins, zombies, witches, and other Halloween paraphernalia that “haunt”…
My friends and I were discussing the upcoming Christmas season and how it may be advisable to do some early Christmas shopping. We know from personal experience what empty shelves of toilet paper and paper towels were like when the pandemic began in 2020! So, do we take that run-for-your-life, hustle and bustle mindset on…
Special Blog Edition!!!!This is my beloved sis’ aka sis-in-law’s birthday today. I am writing this blog to honor her and express my love for her for the many years we have done life together. She has been my loyal and devoted friend since I was twelve; she was nine and her brother was thirteen. She…
I stood behind a beautiful, almost-ready-to-pop mama (8+ months pg), with her hands raised to heaven and praising God with all-out freedom on the front row at church. While I was praising God in my own way, I was enamored by this precious woman. I told her so. I know her faith journey. She made…
That’s what I said to my BFFs when I arrived at their home here in Tulsa! Yay! For a few days, I’m back “home” to Tulsa where I have a ton of memories along with a boatload of treasured friends and family that I love so much. Forty years here can sure roll back…
I sure like it when I can just keep rollin’ on! This blog was inspired by yesterday’s blog where I spoke of our mission fields being right where we are at any given moment. It’s the one-foot square of humble, sacred earth beneath our feet. In other words, where we are is our mission field.…
