Being Go-Get-‘Em Cheerleaders
I know our children and grands would tell you we are proud, adoring grandparents. We purpose to be their #1 fans and cheerleaders. I’d like to introduce you to my BONUS granddaughter. This is our spunky and adorable Adeline aka Addie. What a joy she is to us and the many cheering fans for Westlake…
About Our Father’s Business?
I have five grandsons. I am watching each one come into their own desires for their future. Of course, my sons would hope their boys wanted to follow in their “business” footsteps, but so far, each of those sons are choosing their own way. It isn’t because those boys don’t value and appreciate their fathers’…
Is it Possible?
NEVER should we EVER say, “It can’t be done” or “I can’t do that” or ANYTHING when God says “Is there anything too hard for me?” Genesis 18:14 We have friends in a very challenging place right now. Maybe you are there too! Just a quick refresher: Christmas was almost a month ago. Remember Mary!…
Raise the Praise
Other than those who are allowed in via a permit, the Kogelberg Nature Reserve in Cape Town, South Africa, is off limits to visitors. Birdlife is prolific, wild horses live in the wetlands, and whales can be seen offshore. The area’s rich diversity of animals and over 1,800 varieties of plants flourish there. How free…
Overloaded?
My circuit breaker kept tripping, so I alerted my electrician. He showed up to save the day for me. I took him to my master bathroom from where the issues started. It took him seconds to determine the problem and to school me. “That hairdryer –1875 watts. That heater – 1500 watts. Too much at…
Running MY Race
We love attending our church’s Wednesday night’s “Family Night”. We enjoy a delicious meal then move to one of our many choices of Bible Studies – from young to old. I particularly enjoy our Women’s Bible Study. This blog is spawned from last week’s start of this new year’s study. It is based on Hebrews…
Celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King’s Legacy
I’m old enough to remember when Dr. King was assassinated on April 4, 1968 – 56 years ago. That date gives me pause. It did then when I was holding my one-year-old baby boy in my arms and hearing the horrendous news of the assassination of this passionate, honorable man. Martin Luther endeavored to make…
The Pursuit of God
That’s my blog title as well as my greatest desire — to be in pursuit of God. That means I purpose to follow, run after, chase Him, and even catch Him and His unchanging, loving, caring and peace-filled ways. A. W. Tozer’s “The Pursuit of God” is a classic Christian devotional book written in 1948.…
I Like to be Right. Who doesn’t? Right?
But I’d also like to think I’m able to admit when I’m wrong. It’s simple to admit the little mistakes, apologize and ask forgiveness. Maybe I accidentally left my phone at home and had to turn around and go back home to get it – making me late for my volunteer job at the family…
A Dose of Laughter Medicine
I am not having to order laughter medicine any longer because I married a man who IS my laughter medicine every day. Thanks, God! I needed that! We all need an unlimited supply of laughter medicine. In fact, you might need a hearty dose right now! We all need it — especially because the political…
