God Equips the Called
Many times, I have felt inadequate to fulfill the call of God on my life. I sincerely wanted to be the picture of a loving, devoted homemaker. Though not a popular thought, if one is a women’s libber, it was still my desire. I married young and I wanted to be a model wife for…
Mighty Big Storms. Mighty Big Storm Chaser.
After I posted my blog yesterday, I hastened to see what was happening with the tropical storms and hurricanes. Ian is the ninth named storm of the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season. Then there’s Fiona, that was expected to make landfall in eastern Canada before dawn on Saturday, after days of lashing Bermuda, Puerto Rico and…
The Wonder of it All
Lots of photos of heaven-sent newborn babies are popping up on my FB newsfeed lately. Isn’t it a wonder how God knits babies together so perfectly in their mother’s womb (Psalm 139:13)? Then they make their debut into this great big world. I was in awe and wonder when mine were placed in my arms.…
The Therapy of Music
I was going through my mail, tossing most of it, but then the Life’s Vintage Newsmagazine caught my attention. I thumbed through it to see if anything merited reading. One article did. It was entitled “Music Therapy: Let the Rhythm Move You”, by Dee Duren, Managing Editor. If it’s about music, then I’m in! I…
Happy First Day of Fall – September 22nd
Hooray! My favorite season begins today. I just wish Mother Nature would keep up with the date, because it’s still in the upper 90s here in Austin. Word has it that we’ll get to three digits again in a few days! They call it “global warming”! Whoohoo! I know the heat waves will subside before…
Redemption Time
A blast from the past! Most of you youngsters won’t remember S&H Green Stamps, but my peers will. We remember when would receive them at check-out counters of supermarkets, department stores and gasoline stations as rewards for shopping in their store. I well remember collecting as many books of 1200 stamps as possible. That would…
LORD, Let Me Let YOU Lead Me!
I was typing yet another blog, when I looked at this mug that sits on my desk. It’s used as a pen and pencil holder. It’s in that spot all the time, but this morning, I saw it and received the message loud and clear. Once again, God was reminding me to let Him lead…
Corpus Christi, TX
I write this blog today while in Corpus Christi, celebrating Alexia’s birthday. We’ve had a grand time. Intermixed with the wonderful family times, I have been drawn to this old city’s name, Corpus Christi. It has stood out to me in a most reverent way. I can’t help but believe that God put this pull…
We Aren’t Looking For a Party — We Are a Party
And, just looking for a place to land….on LAND and on OCEAN! On Thursday, September 16th , our Alexia turned 21! It’s been hard for me to grasp this one. How did our darling little Lexi aka Alexia (now that she’s outgrown Lexi) get to 21 so fast? Her mom and dad, (Staci and Larry),…
What Do You Have as Reminders?
So I have several different and beloved crosses that my husband gave me. I wear them often – especially the one that was his. They are my “bumper stickers”. I want to be known as a Christian. Seeing the cross, just might cause someone to ask me to pray with them about something. Those crosses…
