Coincidence or PROVIDENTIAL Circumstance
Providential: involving divine intervention; occurring at a favorable time; opportune, heaven-sent, fortunate, timely. Before Mom’s Estate Sale, I sent pictures to my children of “Granny’s Home” unlike any way they could conceive – in complete disarray compared to the pristine way it always looked “on her watch”. When Mom and Dad’s home was destroyed by…

Determination: firmness of purpose; resoluteness, willpower, tenacity, single-minded, persistence, true grit Today is Day 1 of our Estate Sale at Mom’s home here in Tulsa (see local ad at Craigslist https://tulsa.craigslist.org/gms/d/huge-west-highland-3-day/6549423053.html Whew!

Easter — Best. Story. EVER — 40 More Days to Go!!
Maybe you are thinking “Donna sure loves Easter because she keeps talking about it”. Well, I do! Here’s why: Easter Sunday is just the beginning of Easter. The Easter season (the resurrection of our Lord and His time on earth before ascending to heaven) is still underway. That was 40 days He was “in and…
How About a Life Changing Walk With Jesus?
Life-Changing: Having an effect that is strong enough to change someone’s life; having a powerful effect; compelling, game changer, unconquerable I’ve loved seeing the Easter photos of families enjoying their Easter celebrations – their new Easter clothes, dinners and egg hunts. It was hilarious watching my 16 and 17 year old grands hunting for eggs…
Spoiler Alert – He Lives!
I have two word phrases today: ~ Good News: Something or someone pleasant, fortunate, or otherwise positive. In Christianity, it is the message of Jesus Christ concerning the salvation of the faithful (as elaborated in the Gospels). I love that definition – that means we can wake up each day, and EVERYDAY, with GOOD NEWS!!…
God’s Not Dead — He’s ALIVE!
The tomb is empty! The tomb wasn’t for the dead after all. It was a Delivery Room for our LIVING Savior! This day is April 1st aka April Fool’s Day! SURPRISE, Satan! God’s NOT dead – He’s fully ALIVE!!! The Apostle Peter said in Acts 2:24 “God raised Jesus up, loosing the PANGS of death,…
Holy Saturday – In Between Day – It’s the Day After – A Day to be Sad – REALLY?
My best EVER friend died yesterday. He was my closest friend. How can life go on without Him? It’s the day after, and I have to be the one to handle the responsibilities of planning the funeral, the burial, notifying relatives, and handling so many other details of what to do without Him. They say…
Shouldn’t it be Black Friday instead of GOOD Friday?
You know the feelings…you, or someone you love is hurting so much, and no one else seems to understand your pain. Maybe your closest family member just passed away, and it seems everywhere you look people are just fine — they’re laughing, they’re carefree, they’re going on with their busy lives, and you think, “How…
Holy Thursday – Maundy Thursday
Maundy comes from the Latin word “mandatum”, meaning mandated or commandment. How appropriate for our Lord’s mandate tonight: “A new command (mandate) I give you: ‘Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another’” John 13:34. Jesus was up to His own mandate today. His time had come. His disciples…
Spy Wednesday – Silent Wednesday of Holy Week
In the workplace, we call Wednesday “Hump Day”. That’s because it’s smack dab in the middle of our work week and, HALLELUJAH, the weekend is in sight! Imagine Jesus’ thoughts on this day. Wednesday meant one day closer to His suffering and crucifixion. This day was called “Spy Wednesday” because it was on this Wednesday…
