Be Sure to Wear Your Little Black Dress
I was amused when my daughter told me she was invited to a dinner with several women and the tagline was: “Be sure to wear your little black dress.” Staci remarked to me: “I don’t have a little black dress but I’ll make it happen!” And she pulled it together with a stylish black top…
He Had Me When He Said: “When You Pray….Say”
Can you imagine walking, talking, eating and laughing with Jesus day in and day out? I believe He had to lighten up and laugh with those misfits He called to be with Him 24/7 for three-and-a-half years. And, as we do with those we love, we have to tighten up when it comes to leading…
I Missed Widow’s Day
It was National Widow’s Day on May 3rd and I missed it. But, hold on, International Widow’s Day is on June 23rd. I was first amused when I heard about those days, but I found out some great things that were started to honor and care for widows. I know this. God keeps a watchful…
Write it Down
So if you hang around me at all, you’ve probably seen me pull out my small notebook and write something down. I want to remember what I heard someone say or a thought that ran through my mind. And, many times, something I heard will be the inspiration for an upcoming blog. In fact, my…
Living — Laughing — Loving
Isn’t that what it’s all about? Living….really living this life we’ve been given — with all its many adventures. Laughing out loud in the midst of the good living and the tough-living-times. AND, most of all LOVING God, others AND ourselves. Sure, there’s plenty to complain and worry about but, seriously, why waste time, energy…
“They Opened Their Mouths With Wisdom!” Hey Girls! That’s You and Me!
Happy Mother’s Day to all Moms! That includes all women who have been gifted with the “maternal instinct” of nurturing and caring for others. One of the greatest joys in life is to be a mother to my own children and to those God put into my life “to mother”. There is something unique and…
Moms! Let it Go and Let it Grow!
I’m sitting at my desk in Radiology at Children’s Hospital and hear playing “Let it Go” on the tv monitors in the waiting room. How many times have I heard that song from “Frozen” and from messages I’ve heard about letting unnecessary stuff go? But, this day, I’m thinking about Mother’s Day and from what…
Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread
This blog today was inspired after a Bible trivia game Tuesday night. There are over eighty groups to get involved with in the community where I live. It’s great If you’re a social butterfly because there are plenty of opportunities to hobnob and interact with others. I’ve picked and chosen those I most enjoy of…
#TBT – Grateful for Praying Matriarchs
I don’t see as many Throwback Thursday photos as I once did, so I’m reviving it today. Just a few days before celebrating Mother’s Day, I wanted to pay tribute to my praying matriarchs: on the left, my mother-in-law, Lydia Wuerch (still with us and doing so well at 96) and on the right, my…
Rescued by the AMEN
By now, I’m sure you’ve heard about the rescue of two Florida teens in St. Augustine when the ocean’s strong currents pulled them two miles away from shore. Their faith in “God saves” was reassured when the captain of the yacht called “Amen” spotted them in the water when he was simply scanning the ocean…
