Big Audacious Faith AND Big Audacious Living
AUDACIOUS — showing a willingness to take surprisingly bold risks; daring, fearless, brave, courageous, valiant, venturesome I was immensely inspired when I heard brilliant author and speaker, Erwin McManus, sharing his miracle story. He was dying from cancer, but is now cancer-free and living AUDACIOUSLY. Erwin went in for a simple “insurance exam” for a…
There’s Nothing That Says LOVE Like Chocolate
I have a confession to make. I LOVE chocolate so much so, that I should be a member of Chocoholics Anonymous! So of course, I chose the chocolate cake slice instead of the white cake slice that was lovingly distributed to our community in honor of Valentine’s Day. This love celebration started with a precious…
And They Lived Happily Ever After
I’m still sappy during this Love Month. I felt like a Queen Mother after Prince Charming (my son) showed up with a bouquet of flowers (intentional with yellow roses – his dad and my favorites), then rushed to open the car door to take me on a Valentine’s lunch date. He gave me full attention…
Appointment or Disappointment
Sunday night’s Super Bowl 2022 was reason for our community to pack out our theater room and bring all kinds of goodies to munch on. Most of us cheered for the underdogs, the Bengals, but none of us lost any sleep because they lost. In the end, the Bengals had DISAPPOINTMENT written on their faces…
❤️❤️ Happy Valentine’s Young Lovers Wherever You Are ❤️❤️
And, for those of us who are a “solo” act today because our spouses are celebrating in heaven or the boy or girlfriend left the building….just in time to NOT be showering us with flowers OR kisses (the chocolate AND real ones) on this day when others are having a lovefest…… Let’s just bury our…
Being Careful with Our Walk
A few days ago, while getting my nails done at the salon, a young woman came in with a full cast on her arm. She asked for her gel nails to be removed because of an upcoming surgery. Being the nosey, wanna’-know gal that I am, I asked what happened. She said she fell on…
Got Your Ears On?
FYI to you youngsters out there!! Back in the 1970s, there was a major oil crisis and the U.S. government imposed a nationwide 55 mph speed limit. Fuel shortages were widespread and CB radios were used to help locate a supply of gasoline and notify other drivers of speed traps. The Burt Reynolds “Smokey and…
Thinking About My Epitaph
Okay, I’m not actually thinking about my epitaph (those words written in memory of a person who has died), but I AM desiring to live in a way that when my number is called that I will have left behind some good seeds that I planted. I’m reminded of that when I attend a…
Little Ways Prep Us for Big Wins
After months of what seems to be “little” accomplishments, part of me longs to hear about some of God’s BIG ways – BIG wins – BIG worthwhile news – BIG discoveries like a cure for Covid. But, I’ve learned God seems to work best in the “littles”. Just think about the “littles” that God used…
Encouragers! Let’s Unite!
Have you noticed when you walk into a fast-food restaurant or retail store that you’ll hear one of their employees shout out “Good afternoon, welcome to ____”? Isn’t that encouraging? You were noticed! You also know that some of those employees have been taught to say something encouraging to you like “I love your hair”…
