You’re Halfway There
I have had many “opportunities” to pray for personal needs as well as the needs of others. What a personal triumph I felt, when the prayers were answered – maybe not in the way I suspected, but God’s way. Sometimes those prayers aren’t immediate. They may go on for years. But it is not my…
Seen Any Rainbows Lately?
Yesterday I blogged about clouds. Today, it’s rainbows. This first rainbow was just near my residence in Austin. A mere short-lived rainshower brought that one. Then, a couple of weeks ago, my daughter’s family and I were in Corpus Christi at Port Aransas where we boarded a big fishing boat. It was pouring down rain.…
I’ll Take a Cloud…or Two
I read my “FB Memories” from this day a couple of years ago. Back then I was all caught up in gratitude for the rain, and cooler temperatures and the Fall season that was in the air. This year it seems Summer doesn’t want to give way just yet! I’m in Tulsa right now, and…
God Save the Queen
Did you know that song “God Save the Queen (or King)” is the British National Anthem as well as that of all Commonwealth realms? Apparently, it’s one of the world’s best known anthems. God save our gracious Queen,Long live our noble Queen,God save the Queen!Send her victorious,Happy and glorious,Long to reign over us,God save the Queen!…
God Equips the Called
Many times, I have felt inadequate to fulfill the call of God on my life. I sincerely wanted to be the picture of a loving, devoted homemaker. Though not a popular thought, if one is a women’s libber, it was still my desire. I married young and I wanted to be a model wife for…
Mighty Big Storms. Mighty Big Storm Chaser.
After I posted my blog yesterday, I hastened to see what was happening with the tropical storms and hurricanes. Ian is the ninth named storm of the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season. Then there’s Fiona, that was expected to make landfall in eastern Canada before dawn on Saturday, after days of lashing Bermuda, Puerto Rico and…
The Wonder of it All
Lots of photos of heaven-sent newborn babies are popping up on my FB newsfeed lately. Isn’t it a wonder how God knits babies together so perfectly in their mother’s womb (Psalm 139:13)? Then they make their debut into this great big world. I was in awe and wonder when mine were placed in my arms.…
The Therapy of Music
I was going through my mail, tossing most of it, but then the Life’s Vintage Newsmagazine caught my attention. I thumbed through it to see if anything merited reading. One article did. It was entitled “Music Therapy: Let the Rhythm Move You”, by Dee Duren, Managing Editor. If it’s about music, then I’m in! I…
Happy First Day of Fall – September 22nd
Hooray! My favorite season begins today. I just wish Mother Nature would keep up with the date, because it’s still in the upper 90s here in Austin. Word has it that we’ll get to three digits again in a few days! They call it “global warming”! Whoohoo! I know the heat waves will subside before…
Redemption Time
A blast from the past! Most of you youngsters won’t remember S&H Green Stamps, but my peers will. We remember when would receive them at check-out counters of supermarkets, department stores and gasoline stations as rewards for shopping in their store. I well remember collecting as many books of 1200 stamps as possible. That would…
