Make Me an Instrument of Your Peace
Because of a Leadership Training in Richardson, TX on Saturday, I drove down a few days early to be with my kids in Frisco. Being in the Dallas area when the tragic shootings took place on Thursday night, hearing the heart-wrenching details of the police and civilians killed or injured, brought memories back to me…
He’s Still Looking Out For Me
Yesterday, I was filled with so much thanksgiving, yet a little weepy, missing my Sweetheart on our 50th Wedding Anniversary. That’s how I roll.

God Bless America! Almighty God, We DEPEND on YOU!
It’s the day we’ve been waiting for…..cookouts (in our case, a fish fry — yum), fun, games AND…..fireworks — either man-handling them ourselves, or sitting back and relaxing as we watch the red, white and blue bursts of fire and lights! I have such fond memories of 4th of July celebrations at the Cotton Bowl…
