Just the Way You Are
I kid you not, I was singing Bruno Mars’ song: “You’re so amazing — just the way you are!” Almost simultaneously, I opened up Max Lucado’s devotional book, “Grace for the Moment”. And would you believe it? The title of that day’s devotion was “Just the Way You Are”! Now, if that’s not a divine…
Treasuring our Treasure
A “must” for each day is to have daily devotional times together. It includes reading from our One Year Chronological Bible. If we want wisdom, divine guidance, and God’s favor, then studying God’s Word daily, and acting upon it, is surely a key to success. We take turns reading – me, the Old Testament reading…
Breaking the Language Barrier with Love
I wish — oh, how I wish — I could speak fluent Spanish! Not just a few phrases or scattered words, but enough to truly connect with my dear Spanish-speaking friends. Enough to share a conversation, pray with them, and most importantly, share Jesus in their heart language. While in Cabo, I kept my phone’s…
Angels Watching Over Us
“All night, all day,Angels watching over me, my Lord.All night, all day,Angels watching over me.” This old gospel song came rushing to my mind last week when I witnessed firsthand that Carl’s angels are working overtime! We had just arrived in Cabo del Sol, welcomed with a grand tour of my Wuerch family’s beautiful new…
Let’s Build a Name for Ourselves
The people of Babel had one goal: “Let us build ourselves a tower with its top in the sky, and so make a name for ourselves.” (Genesis 11:4). They weren’t just building a tower; they were building a legacy of their own making — striving to be remembered by their achievements rather than by who…
The Mountain and the Ocean
Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell once sang, “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,” but on Sunday, Carl and I had to admit — some mountains (and even hills) are, in fact, too high! I’ve made the climb to the lighthouse and chapel on El Encanto (to love) many times, but this time, wisdom (and my marathon-worn…
First Love, Forever Love
Three years ago, I was hanging out with my two youngest grandsons while their mom and dad were out of town. That was “the usual” — not because they couldn’t handle themselves, but because their parents preferred Nana’s watchful oversight. I’ll never forget the night Brennan walked through the door after a date with the…
Our Secret Place
Carl and I are still in Cabo, nestled in my children’s gorgeous home— our sanctuary by the sea. Since 2010, this place has been my refuge, a sacred retreat where God’s peace washes over me like the waves on the shore. After my late husband passed just before Thanksgiving that year, my children insisted I…
Created to Create
From mud pies to paint-by-numbers, from hanging wallpaper to decoupaging gifts — creativity has been woven into my life since childhood. Maybe you, too, have discovered the joy of making something from nothing. That’s because we were created to create! Every Thursday night in San Jose del Cabo, the Art Walk showcases the amazing talents…
❤️The Real Story of Valentine’s Day❤️
STOP! Before you assume this is about lovebirds and candlelit dinners, stay with me — I promise this is for everyone! Yes, Valentine’s Day is wrapped in chocolate, flowers, and heart-shaped everything, but let’s rewind to the real reason this day exists. It wasn’t about romance — it was about faith, courage, and a love…
