Our Texas Governor’s Prayer Breakfast
I quickly answered “yes” when my friend asked me if I’d like to attend our Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s Prayer Breakfast yesterday. It was an early morning quest as breakfast started at 6:30 a.m. Over 750 avid fans of allegiance and prayer were wide awake from the git-go for our governor as well as our…
Happy May 1st and Good Morning, Sunshine!
Welcome, May! I’m sure we’re going to have plenty of May flowers because here in Austin we have had plenty of April showers — in fact, some crazy rainstorms, mixed with hail and strong winds. Our electricity went off and our outside doors locked where residents couldn’t come in. We just don’t like hassles, do…
Is it in my Genes?
I had three siblings who graduated to heaven; two of them had Alzheimer’s disease and the other had Diabetes so severe that she lost one foot to the disease. My Mom, now in heaven, had congenital heart disease. My Dad, also in heaven, had a malignant brain tumor. Goodness gracious! With that family medical history,…
Take That and…..That!
Before watching the “Jesus Revolution” movie, we were entertained with the trailers of upcoming movies. After watching the trailer to the “Big George Foreman” true-story movie, I knew I wanted to see it! I bought tickets in advance and saw it on Thursday. The movie gives an up close and personal view of a broken,…
Staying on Course
My East Texas family was in high gear last weekend. They had been working diligently at their newly acquired eight acres just down the road from where their 62 acres of land at Epiphany Ranch is located. This new parcel of land will be home to one of their team members and her family. In…
They are Looney Tunes
Remember those wacky, wild, half-witted Looney Tunes characters? We laughed at their shenanigans. Today those Looney Tunes have been replaced with high tech animation that look like real people. I am fondly remembering the Looney Tunes aka people who seem a little cray cray because they are waving their “Jesus saves” or “You Matter” signs…
Are Our Eyes on Our Conductor?
My friend asked me to go to a middle school orchestra concert at the McNeil High School Performing Arts Center. My first response was “No, thank you!” I said “no” because I remembered the band concerts that my son played in when he was in middle school. He played the saxophone and, Lord, have mercy,…
Water for our Thirsty Souls
A few years ago, in Cabo San Lucas, Bryson, my youngest grandson, and I were sitting on the deck overlooking the Sea of Cortez. We were talking about a recent and devastating tsunami. He asks me: “What is it that you can’t live without, but it can also kill you?”My “thinker” kicked in and I…
Is it Naptime Yet?
Most everyone that reads my blog will notice that I am an early riser. I have a built-in alarm clock that awakens me around 4 am. I use that early morning time to go over my blog one more time before I post it before 6 am. My promise to God was to post my…
What Do You Put on Each Day?
Throwing that question out, might make you wonder what I mean. You might think I’m asking about putting on your clothes, your glasses, your deodorant, your cologne or aftershave, your jewelry or shoes or hat. This blog today was inspired by a dear friend who is one of my faithful daily blog followers. Not only…
