Feeling Pampered Today?
Someone asked how I could possibly devote so much time to my blog every day – 365 days a year. I know God gave me this mission to be an encourager and a light in the darkness. I promised to fulfill that mission from the get-go. My “ministry” platform just happens to be on social…
The Man and the Legend
It is an honor, on this 9th day of June, to celebrate my “other” son. Yes, I have one son by birth and the “other” son was God’s gift to my daughter, Staci, their two children, Payton and Alexia, ME and so many others look up to him, his wisdom, and his tender and loving…
I was Bribed
I remember memorizing many scripture verses as a child. We were “bribed” by our Sunday School teachers to learn and quote them by heart. If we did, we’d receive prizes and rewards. Right or wrong, it worked for me, because I know those scriptures from memory, and I live by them still today. For any…
Those Here Today and Gone Tomorrow Fads
A fad is defined as an intense and widely shared enthusiasm for something, especially one that is short-lived; a craze. I admit. I fell prey to some fads in my earlier years. Case in point. See that cute little boy. That’s my son in this photo and guess what era that was when Nehru suits…
The Demise of the Worry Wart
A worry wart is someone who tends to spend way too much time on – well…worrying — having anxious thoughts about this and that. That’s most often not me! I don’t let myself go there. But, still, there are people issues, car issues, financial issues, and health issues that creep in our minds that trouble…
Getting Enough Sleep?
Watching King Charles’ and Queen Camilla’s coronation apparently had me on high alert for news about them. I fell prey to an article that talked about their sleeping arrangements. One line on social media caused me to investigate, rather, “chase a squirrel”! Britain’s Wellness editor, Melanie Macleod, stated: “King Charles and Queen Camilla are undoubtedly…
Walking and Talking with Jesus
Can you imagine walking, talking, eating and laughing with Jesus day in and day out? I believe He had to lighten up and laugh with those misfits He called to be with Him 24/7 for three-and-a-half years. I appreciate how THE CHOSEN film series has captured some of those shenanigans and how patient Jesus is…
Are We Measuring Up?
Bigger, better, best. That seems to be our mindset. It was ours when we wanted a car that could hold seven people. I drove that sweet ride for nearly 12 years. But, then “smaller” seemed the best choice when I was looking for a new car. Is it just me or does it seem parking…
Character Matters
I am still remembering Memorial Day as I type this blog today. I have a dear friend who makes suggestions to me about potential blog subject matter. And, daily, he gives me encouraging and supportive comments about what I blog about via text messaging me. In the words of Dionne Warwick, ”That’s What Friends Are…
Welcome June and Welcome the Little Things!
I knew it was Memorial Day but I checked online to see if Eyemart was open. YES – they are – 9 am to 7 pm. My glasses needed adjustments, so I headed out on the 10 minutes’ drive to get there. When I pulled into the parking lot, I could see the store was…
