First in His Books
I’ve talked about me not being the “cool” girl growing up. I didn’t play sports, wasn’t on the drill team, didn’t even consider trying out for cheerleading because it seemed I had two left feet. I watched a show last Spring called “Beyond the Edge” (sort of like “Survivor”) and celebrities were the “castaways”. Each…
A Holy Moment and a Lost Phone
I’m at the Vincentian Family Center on Saturday. Just before the store opens, I see a co-worker standing in the middle of the floor, gazing straight ahead and mumbling. I look to the right and see no one standing in front of him. I ask: “Who are you talking to?” His reply: “I was having…
It’s Time to Get Out From Under
Ever heard someone say this? “UNDER the circumstances, I’m making it”? You’ve also probably heard someone say: “I’m UNDER so much pressure with this project”. If that’s our response, in any case, it’s time for us to get out FROM UNDER. I loved this photo of the dog under the bed. He was probably hiding…
God’s Timing is Everything
Yes, it is! I can’t begin to list off the number of times we’ve been at the right place at the right time, and at the wrong place at the wrong time. When in the right place, it seemed God had us all wrapped up, tied up in Him and His marvelous ways. At the…
Training Up a Child in the Way
A new school year starting already? I realized it when, yesterday, my godson’s mom sent me a photo of him all suited up for his first day as a high school senior! Oh my goodness! This summer flew by! My two youngest grands start next week with Brennan as a high school senior too! A…
MY Mercies are New Every Morning
I read this scripture: “The faithful love of the LORD never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is His faithfulness; His mercies are new every morning.” (Lamentations 3:22-23) I wish that those words were my words. I mean MY mercies. I know those words are true. I know His faithful love, His fresh mercy each…
Is it Clothes or the Heart That Makes Us?
I saw these “ancient” photos and how stylish and dressed-to-the-nines we were back then. I remembered Mark Twain’s quote: “Clothes make the man! Naked people have little or no influence on society.” I had to laugh at that thought and visual! AND, consider how many almost-naked folks should heed his words! This photo is my…
Got Mountains? Then Scale Them!
I’m back home in my sweet spot. Actually, wherever I am, I call it my sweet spot – because wherever I go, God is right there with me. Even in the doctor’s office. The day before leaving for Cabo, I had my annual physical check-up. Ugh! Lots of questions from my doc and then, she…
Time Flies When We’re Having Fun
Besides my grandson’s birthday today, July 2nd has a specific specialness about it! It is the half-way point of 2022. 183rd day of the year — the official middle of the year. Six months have already passed in 2022. It makes me think – how fast time flies for me these days, compared to being…
Heading to my Secret Place
This morning, my grandson’s girl friend and I, will soon be boarding our flight for Cabo San Lucas. We’ll be joining the rest of the family after a week of guy fun. Brennan (turning 18 on July 2nd) was able to take six of his buddies with him to celebrate his birthday. The guys go…
