When You Pass Through the Waters…
I’m back home after a week of family fun in San Jose del Cabo. The experiences and daily inspirations are still with me, so rather than my sand and beach blogs, now I’m taking it to the open waters and the chills and thrills of some water adventures. My oldest and youngest grandsons headed out…
Don’t Quit Till You Got Nothing Left
More than likely, we’ve all taken an exam or test that we just made the grade that let us pass the course by the skin of our teeth. Or we finished that project but it certainly wasn’t to the standard it should have been done because our heart just wasn’t in it. It shows by…
Awestruck at the Awesomeness of God
It seems the longer I live and the places I get to go, the more awestruck I am by the majesty of God. What a genius He is! It boggles my mind that anyone could think that we, and all the glorious wonders of this world, just happened to show up when a “Big Bang”…
My Shelter is Solid Rock
Yesterday, sweetest memories flooded my mind from 2010. In Cabo, I woke early each morning to take in the magnificent sunrise on the crashing waves. I would find the cleft of the rock formations to sit beneath. How sweet was the presence of my loving Father there – especially as He restored my soul, for…
Climbing the Mountain to the Cross
My son kept saying “Mom, I’ve got to take you up the mountain to see the cross! It’s so beautiful up there!” He was up early (5:30 am) the next day to give me the sunrise view! The sun was rising and the timing was perfect. It was well worth the climb to the top…
Dual Citizenship Has Its Privileges
I had an “aha” moment when I handed over my passport at the Mexico customs entry. I was handing over my Rite of Passage. Having a passport goes way back to my teenage years but taking the time to read the first page of it goes back to last Sunday. This is what I read:…
Welcome Spring! Getting Spring in My Step!
I’ve been thoroughly enjoying the photos displayed on social media of the beautiful array of bluebonnets that are seemingly opening the doors and welcoming Spring to us Texans! Thank you, God, for your handiwork! Before leaving home for this Spring Break trip to Mexico, I sent a little text message to my Frisco family that…
You Lead. I’ll follow.
On Sunday, I met up with my son, his wife and five children in Houston to catch a flight together for a Spring break week in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Right from the get-go, my son Ryan, became the Pied Piper, so to speak, as he gathered the eight of us to all get on…
God’s Remarkable Color Palette
Take a look at these beautiful “Spring” flowers. Breath-taking – literally! Not just the beauty, but the fragrance is exquisite. Well, these flowers should be – they’re growing in this exotic climate of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico where my Austin family and I are here celebrating Spring break and family love. I was delighted when…
Going GREEN on St. Patrick’s Day!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Do you have your “green” on? After all, it’s St. Patrick’s Day and who wants to get pinched? I’m told I’m 1/16th Irish so I’m wearing my Claddagh Irish ring and I’m wearing my sweetheart’s St. Patrick’s cross necklace that he wore almost all the time. He loved St. Patrick and…
