Jesus Loves Me – This I Know!
Life happens. You hit and fractured your toes when you ran into the end of the door and have to go to the ER. You were attacked by woman-sucking mosquitoes and now you must carry an anti-itch “After Bite” oil for relief. You have to call an Exterminator to get rid of the pests. A…
At Least Take the First Step
In my “No Fear” post yesterday, I shared how proud I was of my granddaughter when we were at Six Flags Over Texas. Against her initial concerns about the wild rides that were there, she conquered her fears and in fact, exceeded our greatest expectations for her. After the first ride (her first step), she…
No Fear! You Only Live Once
It was the yellow Mustang convertible that I would have for a week while my car is being repaired, that energized the idea of the 3-generations (Me, my daughter and granddaughter) to take to the road. “The Road” was only around here in Frisco and over to Arlington TX, but we sure had a “Girls…
If You Stumble — Make It Part of the Dance
I was quite the awkward child and teenager. Oh, how much I wanted to dance, or be on the drill team or be a good athlete — in any sport. But I never pursued or worked at any of those desires. My husband and I took a few ballroom dance lessons to be prepared for…
The Dis-Ease of Busy-ness
This last April, I moved into my home in Frisco. Because I’ve been traveling so much, I haven’t been able to get really integrated into this amazing 55+ community of Del Webb’s Frisco Lakes. Until last week, I hadn’t even been able to attend the newcomers’ Frisco Lakes 101 that gives a great overview of…
It’s Not Always What It Seems and That May Be a Good Thing
From my vantage point, relaxing in my beach lounge, I saw this guy spending a lot of time looking and looking on the beach, then I saw him with some sort of stick and maneuver it all around this certain spot. I just knew he had a metal detector and was moving in on a…
The Fun Favors of God — He Loves to Surprise Us
I texted this photo to my son “How do you like my new wheels?” Then I called and clarified the story to him….and now to you. Last month my car was rear-ended by a way-too-close vehicle, when I slowed coming off the tollway to let a car go by that was coming way-too-fast on the…
“The Heavens Declare the Glory of God, and the Sky Above Proclaims His Handiwork” Psalm 19:1
Tuesday night (August 8th), Denise and I were playing Pickleball at the outdoor courts here in my community. The Texas heat means that we want to only play early morning or late evenings. While the wind is a factor for outdoor play, it also opens up the opportunities to be amazed at God’s heavenly handiwork.…
He Leads Me By Still and Rough Waters
How reassuring it is to know our great Shepherd is ever watching over His sheep (that’s you and me) to guide, lead, protect and even discipline us when we need to be corrected. If someone asks how I know God’s not dead–I just tell them “I spoke to Him today, and He spoke to me.”…
He’s Rock Solid
I had written this post and then in my City of Frisco “Waterwise” email for yesterday was this paragraph: “Solid as a Rock”. The long, hot, dog days of summer are upon us! Rain is less frequent and the high temperatures are taking their toll on our landscape. For many people not familiar with life…
