Once Upon a Time…….
I love that start to a story because you just know there’s going to be a happy ending at the end. But I love this beginning even more….. Once upon a tree…..a Creator gave His life for His creation. From the very beginning of time…..this true story began….but there was never, and there will never…
Power Up, BRAIN!
My precious mom would say to her doctor “Doc, some mornings I just don’t want to get out of bed at all!” His reply was always “The day you decide to do that, expect to be bedridden very soon!” In essence, he was saying “If you don’t use it – you’ll lose it!” This is…
GIRL!!! You’re Still Here — So You’re Not Done!!!
I’m flattering myself to call me “girl”, but, yes it’s my birthday. Yay! I made it another year. I’m still here, so I’m not done living this wonderful life God gave me. This is the day the Lord made ME, and I’m so grateful He did. That may sound self-gratifying, but honestly, I’m just following…
I’ve Got Friends in High Places
Garth Brooks sold a lot of records with his song, “I’ve Got Friends in Low Places….where the whiskey drowns, and the beer chases my blues away and I’ll be okay.” Seriously?? Goodness gracious – doesn’t that just make you want to go hang out with those friends? NOT! I started thinking about the “low life”…
“Being Grateful In Good, Bad and In-Between Times”
When my home in Tulsa sold and I wasn’t even trying to sell it, I knew it was a sure sign that God was sending me to Frisco, TX. That’s where my daughter and family live. Don’t you love it when God gives undeniable directions to us – and we don’t even need to ask…
Doctor — Please Give Me the Good News First!!!
Yesterday millions of people witnessed the solar eclipse in some way. While I have a great appreciation for the wonders in the skies and on the earth, I’ll admit I didn’t get carried away with it all until I was at my car dealership for an oil change and the service guys were outside with…
It Only Takes a Spark to Get a Memory Going
Over the last few days, I’ve been attracted to watching some PGA golf (certainly not my usual choice for TV-watching). Maybe it was because my son was playing in a golf tournament this weekend. When I turned on the TV yesterday afternoon and the women’s 2017 Solheim Cup was on, my mind was flooded with…
JUST LOVE
I had the most precious grandmother who was known for the love she had for everyone. My grandfather was an “Old Time Gospel” Baptist Preacher. He could out-preach the best of them with his “hail, fire and brimstone” sermons. And, my precious polar-opposite grandmother would temper his words by saying, “JUST LOVE”. I still remember…
Back to School Routines
When my community was buying school supplies for children in need, I joined in with them — buying spiral notebooks, crayons, binders, pencils, pens, notebook paper, glue, and other school supplies. It brought back memories of buying school supplies for my own two kiddos — backpacks, lunch kits, and all the essentials from the school’s…
What’s the First Song You Think of With a Color in It?
This post today was prompted by someone’s FB post I saw yesterday. They said, “What’s the first song you think of with a color in it?“ I didn’t respond on the post but my mind started racing with songs with color in them. My first thought was to one of my favorite singers in the…
