Grasping Their Reality
There’s a moment when you might think your life sucks (for whatever reason), and then you see others who have a reality that makes your “issues” seem extremely miniscule. Of course, there are those who “voice” their reality because they need prayer support, encouragement, and some motivation to keep on carrying on. No question, we…
Embrace the Set-Ups
I was a widow for thirteen years. During that “season”, a dear friend set me up with one of her clients. She thought he would be a “perfect match” for me. He was a widower of three months, a devout Christian who enjoyed traveling and missions work, and was ready for love again. Not particularly…
The Paper Shredder
Not long ago, in our community’s FB group, a neighbor sent out a plea for help. She needed a paper shredder to rid herself of all those old financial records, letters, and documents. She was done with the build-up of paper overload. In a matter of minutes, neighbors were quick to provide her with theirs.…
It’s a Test Worth Taking
During my last Wednesday night’s Bible Study, one of our gals shared a sweet love story. She told our group that she and her husband were in bed, and he commenced to pick up his Bible and read this to her: “Leah is patient. Leah is kind. Leah does not envy or boast. Leah is…
Just a Little Love Song
Valentine’s Day was yesterday and sweet love songs continue to ring in my ears. Love songs went to a new level when my babies came into my life. I didn’t realize I had the capacity to love so deeply as I did when my first child, my baby boy Ryan was born. I knew I…
Valentine’s Love
Happy Valentine’s Day! I LOVE YOU! “Love sweet love. It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of!” Thanks, Dionne Warwick, for that sweet love song memory! This day is about love and loving others, and the credit goes to St. Valentine and his story of love, A.D. 270. Valentine was a Christian priest…
The Week of Love
A morning online search led me to info I never knew. Apparently, Valentine’s Week in India officially began February 7th when couples start celebrating the month of love with romantic gifts, heartwarming surprises, and spending quality time with each other. “Bring on the love” is what I say! What not have a week of expressions…
Finishing Strong is What Matters
For Super Bowl fans, you already know the outcome, but for the rest who it didn’t matter and didn’t watch the big game, I’m breaking the news to you that the Kansas City Chiefs overcame a 10-point deficit in the last few minutes of overtime to win and become the first back-to-back Super Bowl champion…
Our Recommendations
While out to Sunday brunch with friends, they thanked me for recommending Quik Trip as their Bank of Texas ATM location. They didn’t know about the ATM though she is a Bank of Texas Private Wealth Advisor here in Austin. They were thankful because there are no Bank of Texas banks here. But now they…
Bold and Brave Believers
They are those who have the kind of faith that steps out in bravery, courage, taking bold moves and fearless risks as they believe and pray for others and themselves. We have an incredible “Lamplighters” (aka fellowship group) at our church that we joyfully attend after Sunday morning worship. Unlike our teenage years when Sunday…
