The Face of God
Oh how I love the smell of a newborn baby. They carry “heaven’s scent” — I just know it! After all — that’s where those precious little angels came from, so of course they still carry that scent of heaven on them. Oh, how I love kissing those “heavenly” little faces. I just can’t…
Seize the Moment. Seize the Day.
We all have special memories that are attached to some of our Christmas treasures. In fact, that’s one of the main reasons why we don’t mind all the extra time and effort it takes to bring them out for display each Christmas. I have this beautiful porcelain nativity scene displayed on my kitchen counter. A…
Life-Changing Experiences When Trusting the Master and His Plan
That’s me — Director of Telecommunications and Mail Services at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Canada — 22 years ago. This was the cover of MTS’ (Manitoba Telephone Service), magazine. What a blessing to have worked at the U of M for the 7 years that we lived in Winnipeg. Of course, Winnipeg was…
Daddy’s 50 Years in Heaven – Merry Christmas
This is Roscoe Owen Wheat, Sr., my sweet Daddy who graduated to heaven 50 years ago today. I remember that day so clearly. I came home from school and found him lying on my bed. I said, “Daddy, are you okay?” He responded, “I’m okay, Baby, I’m just resting.” I knew he wasn’t okay…
Lathered Up With a Fishing Pole Between Our Toes
As I looked up at my office wall yesterday, I was reminded of one of my favorite fishing stories. My husband, teenage daughter and I flew on a seaplane into secluded, Side Saddle Lake in Manitoba to fish for the day. A seaplane was the only way to get into that lake. My husband,…

The PERFECT King Size Bed for Royalty
Celebrities can certainly make some hefty demands on the hotels they stay in. I read that Jennifer Lopez asks for her hotel rooms to be completely white — EVERYTHING — walls, furniture, white candles — so that she is properly rested. The sheets must be Egyptian cotton, minimum 250 “thread count” and the room temperature…
Mary, Did You Know?
She’s the First Lady of the Faith — Mary, the Mother of Jesus. She was always found faithful. And what faith she had! She was the first to believe in Jesus as her Savior and Lord — while she carried Him in her womb. In 1984 Mark Lowery wrote the lyrics to, “Mary Did You…
Good Tidings of Comfort and Joy
Four years ago, I came home to Tulsa after spending a beautiful Thanksgiving week in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico with my son and his family after a whirlwind previous couple of weeks of decisions to be made, funeral preparations, and all the “to do’s” after my Honey graduated to heaven. Cabo was just what I…
DO NOT Be Afraid
Pre-electricity era – can you imagine the terror the shepherds experienced when the dark skies became brilliant when the angel appeared to them? But the angel gave them solace when he said, “Do not be afraid. I bring you GOOD NEWS OF GREAT JOY that will be for all the people.”(Luke 2:10). Those terrifying…
