Getting the Prescription Filled
Seventeen years ago, my fingers hurt so much that I couldn’t button my shirt or pick up my grandbabies. A rheumatologist diagnosed it as osteoarthritis, a chronic disease that, she said, could only be maintained (not healed) via drugs. She prescribed Vioxx. My husband said to me as we drove home, “Now we know the…
My Purpose Filled Life Comes Without a Drill Sergeant
I want to start off by saying I know God has always been with me — even before my conception. Cheers to my mom and dad’s hardcore belief in life. I was an unexpected baby (not to God, but to mom and dad). It had been 12 years since their last child, but mom was…
Lord, Thank You For the Rain!
We’ve been having downpours of rain for the last few days. Aw, sweet rain! We are on a water ration here in Frisco – only one day a week do we get to water our yards. In this Texas heat, that just hasn’t been enough water and my lawn has suffered. I’ve lost two holly…
Look What the Lord Has Done!
My best laid plans were to be in Tulsa this weekend for a very special event, my godson’s little sister’s First Communion and then yesterday, to attend my godson’s swim meet. God wasn’t surprised by me having to cancel because of the flu that literally slowed me down to a snail’s pace for the last…
Love Means Saying “I’m Sorry”!
Last week I shared about a Pastor sharing with a bride and groom at their wedding ceremony. He said, “People will tell you ‘Love means never having to say you’re sorry. That’s garbage!” He was hilarious, but he got the message across — to be like Christ means being quick to apologize and quick to…
He MAKES Me Lie Down in Green Pastures
In yesterday’s post, I mentioned I was heading over to the main house as my month-long hiatus had come to an end. Famous last words – little did I realize that the flu virus hanging around Austin had caught up with me. “Lord, have mercy” was my prayer for the next 24 hours. After I…
Just a Little Band of Women
In so many places in this world, women are so marginalized and ostracized – simply because they are women. If only our world used the example of Jesus and how He loved and respected us. He really “upset the apple cart” in His culture in the way He related to women. In Luke 8 we…
Love Means Never Having to Say You’re Sorry
Those are the words from one of my favorite romantic movies of all time, “Love Story” with Ryan O’Neal (Oliver) and Ali McGraw (Jenny). Oliver blamed himself for keeping Jenny from her music career and when apologizing, Jenny’s love for Oliver was far greater to her and that’s when she said that famous line. As…
