Living in the Peace Zone
Yesterday, after I finished my blog and posted it about how our words matter, I read this email from a ministry. It is the icing on “yesterday’s” cake (aka blog). “I call you, My people, to be kind to one another. The world is filled with selfishness and hatred. But you belong to Me and…
New signs were placed on my grandson’s Regent’s baseball field backstop this year. I was pleased to see those words. They were placed on the visitor’s seating side and on our side. “WE ARE TO BE SALT AND LIGHT! Do not talk “at” or “about” other players, fans, officials, or parents!” The signs apparently made…
When I’ve watched the “America’s Got Talent” TV show, without fail, there is always a contortionist who can bend their limbs every which way. I grimace and can hardly watch them. Literally, we can say: “They are all bent out of shape!” Sometimes, we experience aches and pains and laugh about it. Maybe you’ve heard…
I recorded and then watched the magnificent and regal ceremonies of Prince Charles III’s coronation. We, Americans, though we have plenty of pomp and circumstance at various and important occasions, don’t hold a candle to what took place yesterday. Charles became king the moment Queen Elizabeth died so the coronation yesterday was more symbolic in…
May 6th was on my mind. I checked my calendar – nada, nothing showing except for me working at the family center all day and serving communion at church on Saturday night. There must be something else because I keep thinking I need to blog about whatever it may be. Still nothing. So, I googled…
We celebrated May 1st as the start of a very full month of activities. What a blessing it was to kick it off with attending our Texas Governor’s Prayer Breakfast. May 2nd, Brennan’s exciting baseball season ended. We were happy they won their district playoffs. Next baseball season will be at University of Mary Hardin…
We may be in a room with people who are quite perky, talkative, and beaming like the sun. In fact, they are so doggone happy that they may annoy us! After all, we may be carrying the weight of the world on our shoulders and their high-spirits and cheeriness is rubbing us the wrong way!…
You know the deal. We stretch our faith and go for it – as in: “Yes, we’re buying a home” or “Yes, I’m changing jobs — the pay is less, but it’s what I love to do.” Or, like my beloved sis and brother-in-law, they are retiring. It’s been a stretch for them to train…
I quickly answered “yes” when my friend asked me if I’d like to attend our Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s Prayer Breakfast yesterday. It was an early morning quest as breakfast started at 6:30 a.m. Over 750 avid fans of allegiance and prayer were wide awake from the git-go for our governor as well as our…
Welcome, May! I’m sure we’re going to have plenty of May flowers because here in Austin we have had plenty of April showers — in fact, some crazy rainstorms, mixed with hail and strong winds. Our electricity went off and our outside doors locked where residents couldn’t come in. We just don’t like hassles, do…
