Being Light as He is Light
I saw this vehicle in Hobby Lobby’s parking lot. I’m sorry I saw it then and I apologize for showing it to you now. But this scene propelled me into my annual rant. Ghosts, goblins, zombies, witches, and Halloween paraphernalia that “haunt” us are everywhere – in stores and yards this time of the year.…
The Home Stretch
We closed out the first week of early voting with having had an incredible turnout of voters. People from every walk of life have shown up with enthusiasm, casting their ballots with hope and purpose. And now, as we move into the final stretch, there’s an energy in the air, a hopeful anticipation that the…
A Better World Starts with You and Me
The pessimist grumbles, “I could make a better world than this.”But the optimist confidently sings, “Go for it! That’s why God put you here!” It’s true. We’re not here just to take up space. God placed us on this earth, in this time, to make a difference. And while we can’t do everything, we can…
Turtle on a Fencepost
Last week we attended the funeral of a dear friend’s husband. We never met him, but what we heard and saw in stories and photos made it feel like we did know him. One of the stories we heard was about the “Turtle on a Fence Post”. If you’ve ever seen a turtle on a…
Celebrate the Good News!
Don’t you love those words, “Good News”? I remember my early years as a Christian and how difficult it was for me to share God’s “Good News” to those around me. Sure, I did my best to be a reflection of Christ’s likeness in my words and deeds in everyday life, but I wasn’t what…
I Voted. I’m Glad I Did.
I did it! I voted in the Early Voting polls. I am also working in the polls. I have been blown away by the turnout of voters. I knew there would be a flurry of voters coming through our doors, but I didn’t imagine the numbers would be so great! By the way, Texans, you…
Integrity: The Missing Piece
With every election season, the question echoes louder: who can we trust? As I watch candidates vie for leadership, I can’t help but wonder—are they people of integrity? Wouldn’t it be refreshing to know that what they say is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? Integrity seems to be in short…
And They Became One
Yesterday was a day I’ll cherish forever—a day filled with love, laughter, and family at a beautiful venue in Driftwood, Texas. My heart is so full, not just as a proud Nana, but as a witness to the joy of two souls becoming one in marriage. The weather was perfect—clear skies with just enough breeze…
From This Day Forward
The big day has arrived. Later today we will be celebrating the wedding of my firstborn grandson, Braden Wuerch and his beautiful fiancee, Jaclyn Marie Horob. Last night was the rehearsal dinner at Perry’s Steakhouse in downtown Austin. What a beautiful night we had. Lots of photo opts with our precious Braden and Jaclyn and…
Positioned to Hear
Ever had a phone call drop out mid-conversation, just when you’re getting to the good part? Or, been in an elevator where you’re waving your phone around like it’s a magic wand, desperately hoping for a signal? We’ve all been there. Whether it’s a concrete building or a wilderness area, reception can be hit or…
