I See My Mom in the Mirror
I am approaching a milestone birthday next month. Goodness! It seems just like a few days ago, I was celebrating a milestone birthday and here I am already to another one! AND, lo and behold, I look in the mirror and I see my mom! I am starting to look like her more each day.…
My Way or God’s Way
Thursday night, at my Everleigh Lakeline community, a most talented and delightful singer, Rickey Davis, gave us a “Frank Sinatra” concert that was second to none! He is known as a Frank Sinatra Tribute Artist, and he took us back to those classic times. Someone came up to me afterwards and said, “You sang right…
Enjoying Billowy Cloud Cover
Our trip to East Texas and Epiphany Ranch didn’t disappoint! We took advantage of the wonderful, somewhat cooler temperatures. We went to see my sweet cousin, Mary Ellen Snow, who moved to Tyler, TX from Frisco, TX. We were neighbors in Frisco, buds in Tulsa and Dallas before that. It looks like the cousins still…
Just a Little Talk Makes it Right
I am not like Martha in the Bible. She was the sister who was all about hospitality, serving up the best meal for her guests and ensuring they were comfortable. And, I can’t say that I am like her sister, Mary, who sat at the feet of Jesus and relished in His presence all day…
A Strategy that Works – Big Time!
Do you ever have those sucker-punches that steal the joy right out of you? I do. I’ll admit it! Whether it be just plain old aggravation or some careless thing I did (like putting my keys somewhere that I still can’t find them). Or it is simply dissatisfaction about THIS, THAT or the OTHER. I’m…
Oops! A Big Mistake!
I saw this headline: “Oops! Buc-ee’s Billboard Goes Viral Due to Embarrassing Spelling Mistake”. Apparently, the billboard reads: “You had me at Hodwy,” misspelling the word “Howdy”. The mistake was first reported by radio announcer Danny Merrell who said the typo was discovered by his wife, an English teacher, on an Interstate 35 billboard. Merrell…
Promise Made. Promise Kept.
Get ready! The upcoming presidential election campaigns are already in “go” mode! AND, they are already making “I promise you, if elected I’ll…….. We’ve all made promises like:“I promise you….for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness or in health, till death parts us…..”“I promise you….I’ll never tell your secret….”“I promise you….I’ll be…
Just Like Our Heavenly Father
Of course, we have great love for our children – we are just like our Heavenly Father! I was thrilled when I recently saw the Facebook post of a precious young woman that I, and many others, had been praying for. Her greatest desire and prayer was to be able to conceive a baby. It…
Being the Spice of Life
I just can’t complain about anything, but I sure could if I let myself go there. But I can’t complain at all, especially when I see others with tremendous physical issues, heartbreak issues, homeless issues, and so many other issues. I was touched by Shane Claiborne’s book, “The Irresistible Revolution”, subtitled “Living as an Ordinary…
Keeping the Score….or NOT!
In East Texas last weekend, we enjoyed playing cards with Larry and Staci. I think it was a test to see if Carl could measure up to their card-playing skills. They found out quickly (and so did I), that Carl is a pro when he schooled us on some added features of Spades! Larry was…
