The Expert in Anything Had to BEGIN
Ever look at someone and wish you had their talents or abilities or strengths and just wish you had even a portion of what they have? They, too, were at their beginning…..they had to learn; they had to spend hours developing their gifts; they had to be willing to be trained, they had to grow.…
I’d Rather Be Remembered for Standing Out Than Forgotten for Blending In
Yesterday morning I saw a Harley Davidson billboard that said, “Why fit in when you can stand out?” — of course meaning that we would stand out if we drove a Harley. Indeed, that would definitely cause me to STAND-OUT! LOL! And that prompted me to post about the great STAND message I heard Sunday…
Superman vs Clark Kent Faith
Some life situations call for a spontaneous, heroic faith that is swift to action — those situations that don’t allow time to survey the situation or even pray for hours to muster up our courage. That’s when our spiritual “Superman”, who lives inside us and is infused with God’s wisdom and power wants to take…
It’s a New Dawn
So last week my son asked me if I would be going to the Michael Bublé Concert in Tulsa this week. Because I’m still a hopeless romantic over the love my Honey and I shared, I responded, “No, Michael Buble’ reminds me too much about how much Daddy and I loved his music.” The words…
Silver, Gold, Diamonds — Nothing Compares to Him
Last week I was with my grandson, Payton, who, at age 14, is quite the entrepreneur — selling and repairing mobile phones. He’s also a certified phone doctor. His interest of late is collecting coins, and already has quite the collection. I went with him to a gold and silver store. The reps are always…
The Pearl of Great Price
God is relentless in His pursuit of us. He speaks to us in a thousand different ways, endeavoring to get our attention. He is passionate in His love for us, and patient in His tolerance of us. And, just in case you ever doubt your self-worth, here is proof positive of how special and amazing…
God May Be Allowing the Rains to Come
Two weeks ago, I drove 4-1/2 hours to Texas in torrential rain. When I finally arrived at my destination, I found myself incredibly dizzy and my equilibrium was completely off. Clearly, I could have been mistaken by others, as having had “too much to drink”. We determined that my focus to stay on the road…
God Cheers Wildly For You and Me
Everyday we have to make important decisions and we have to know when to say “yes” and when to say “no”. At times, saying “no” isn’t easy, especially when we just don’t want to let someone down. And, often, we give too many yeses to good things, but not best things. I watched a great…
What Would You Do to Face Your Fears?
I love success stories — especially the success stories of my friends. Meet my sweet friend, Kristina Vinberg, from Bellevue, WA. She’s been my grandsons’ nanny for several years, and I’ve watched this little gal overcome many obstacles in her life. She was in a car accident a couple of years ago that caused her…
Only New Chapters in This Book
There is so much in store for us today….and the days to come. Why do we insist in continuing to re-read the past chapters of our LIFE book, and wish we’d done things differently, or said words we wish we could take back, or thought “if only”. It’s time for us to let the past…
