That’s Gotta Hurt
This photo came up on my timeline a few days ago. It merits a repeat, at least in my memory. We were out for a family outing to the Pumpkin Patch in Tulsa. I saw the scarecrow and thought it would be a great photo. What I didn’t see was the big stick holding him…
Donna, You Deserve the Best
That was the email “subject” from DSW Shoes. It jumped out at me. That word, “deserve”, says it all. The next line was “Here’s all the BEST (selling) shoes”. So that’s what I deserve……the best-selling shoes. I deserve them. Really? What makes me “deserve” those shoes? We live in a selfie, self-centered, and self-entitlement world.…
Have a Blessed Day!
“Have a good one!” “Have a great day!” Those are parting words from upbeat, positive, and intentionally optimistic people. Some folks are so caught up in their own world, expressing upbeat wishes to others doesn’t cross their minds. They’re all about their own agenda and trudging through their own day. If you’re one of my…
We were Subjected to Change and We did it!
No I didn’t. I sure amuse myself. I had this blog all set to go this morning. I even spoke about change in my blog yesterday. But, what do you know? I forgot about the time change, and here I am up an hour earlier because of it! Argh! Oh well, maybe I’ll get a…
Making Course Changes
My grandson, Payton, inspired this blog today. We’ve been packing up his family’s home for their move to Rusk, TX. Lots of course changes for this crew. All the birds have left the nest. Alexia, who loves Frisco, her many friends there, and she loves being a barista at a trendy coffee shop (and her…
Gimme That Childlike Faith
Yesterday, I blogged about the mighty giants who our children can be in today’s times. Today, I’m talking about wanting to go back to having that childlike faith again that loved those flannel board stories of a little shepherd boy who conquered a giant with a sling and a stone. I want that giant-conquering mentality…
God Isn’t Scratching His Head
How far we’ve come since the worst thing that we could get punished for in school was chewing gum or triggering (with a ball point pen) a stink bomb! Whew! I can still smell that in the halls of my school or the chemistry classroom. And fast forward a few decades to the 2020’s and…
Living with No Regrets
There are five things that we cannot recover in life:The Stone…………after it’s thrown,The Word………….after it’s said,The Occasion…..after it’s missed, The Time…………..after it’s gone.A person…………..after they die. I realize this after I’ve missed a chance to call a friend and didn’t. When I failed to remember another friend’s birthday. When I forgot to pray a little…
Amped Up and Ready to Take the World by Storm
Thanks to my grandson #4 who provided the inspiration for this blog. If you follow me, you know that I stay with my two youngest grandsons when their parents go out of town. On Saturday, I was up at my usual “comin’ alive” time of 4:30 am. When I came out to the living area,…
