It’s Time to Get Out From Under
Ever heard someone say this? “UNDER the circumstances, I’m making it”? You’ve also probably heard someone say: “I’m UNDER so much pressure with this project”. If that’s our response, in any case, it’s time for us to get out FROM UNDER. I loved this photo of the dog under the bed. He was probably hiding…
Chicken Coops Everywhere
A couple of days ago I asked my daughter how the chickens were getting along. She explained that they had to remove four chickens from the coop because they were gurgling, which is a sign of a respiratory infection. They didn’t want the other chickens to get infected, so they set up a separate coop…
When Judging Makes a Difference
My go-to grocery store was out of watermelons when I shopped. But not yesterday. They were fully stocked. I brought one home, cut myself a slice and, YES – sweet, juicy, and seedless. Yum! Watermelon is my favorite summer fruit. It’s amusing to watch people thumping on watermelons trying to find the best one. I…
Running our OWN Race
My son asked me: “Is that an Oura ring you’re wearing?” I replied that it was. He said he saw his friend wearing one and wondered if it worked. Intentionally, I run/walk/exercise as much as I can, when I can. But, there are days when “I’m a squatter!” I just sit as I write blogs,…
Dare to be Bold
Yesterday, my blog was about the willingness to get out of the boat and walk on water. Well, not really a boat, unless God told us to (like Peter). I meant, stepping out of our intimidation and comfort zones and “I can’t” zones. Today, I’m taking it a step further! When my sweetheart passed on,…
I’m NOT a Boat Squatter
So, you know the story. The winds and waves are in an uproar and the disciples are totally freaked out. They think their lives are about to be taken when here comes Jesus walking on the water. He calls Peter to come to Him. Without any hesitancy, Peter is audacious enough to obey the voice…
Practicing the Presence of God
Starting and ending each day for me includes devotions in the morning and a brief devotional before I fall asleep. I reason that I am starting my day and ending my day in God’s presence. Throughout my day, I’ll acknowledge Him with a “Thank You, Lord!” “I appreciate You, God!” “I love you, Jesus!” But,…
Life is a Balancing Act
Back to school for a couple of weeks now, most parents have their rhythm back while balancing all the activities of life. I’m back at it, too, picking up my youngest. I love it! Oh, the joy of hearing about his day. But I remember those days as a mom and having to juggle so…
We Have a Cheering Section
We Have a Cheering SectionI wanted to be on the pep squad at South Oak Cliff High School in Dallas, but my home life with a very sick daddy didn’t warrant it. But I guarantee you I am my own pep squad when one of my grands are playing in a sport or some other…
God’s Timing is Everything
Yes, it is! I can’t begin to list off the number of times we’ve been at the right place at the right time, and at the wrong place at the wrong time. When in the right place, it seemed God had us all wrapped up, tied up in Him and His marvelous ways. At the…
