Where Do You Get Your Daily NOURISHMENT From?
My word for today is NOURISHMENT — the food or other substances necessary for growth, health, and good condition; sustenance, nutrition, provision Yesterday, my granddaughter, Alexia Wallace, came over to help with racking my leaves. I picked up a Chick Fil A breakfast for us (Alexia’s main hang-out – it’s her place of work and…
It’s Clean-Up, Clean-Out, Clean-In Time!
This may be TMI (too much information) on my personal life, but I had a major clean-out (literally, blow-out) two days ago when I went through a colonoscopy prep for the next day’s colonoscopy. I had put it off longer than I should have. It seemed like such a big deal to me, but when…
Subject to CHANGE Daily
I’m pulling my “female” card. Yes, I am a woman and I am subject to CHANGE daily. I can CHANGE my mind about this or that. I can CHANGE clothes – just because I want to. I can CHANGE occupations (and I did). I’m also a “single” so I can CHANGE TV channels whenever I…

A few years ago, my grandson, Payton Wallace took this picture of the huge rock formations that surrounded the pond behind my home. I thought about the scripture in Luke 19:40 where Jesus declared to…

I’m sitting here in Tulsa at Mom’s breakfast table, looking out at the 17th fairway of the golf course, but what captured my attention was the little sparrows jumping from limb to limb in the huge tree that she and Dad planted 25 years ago. Those little sparrows are having a hay-day chirping, playing and…
