Oops! I Did It Again!
The older I am getting, the more I have to watch what I say. Words will literally pop out of my mouth like a Jack-in-the-Box when I least expect it. I wonder “Where did that come from?” That whole “think before you speak” quote seems to often be null and void in my life. It’s…
We Don’t Know What to Do, But Our Eyes Are on You
We live in a mighty crazy, shaky world. Everything seems to be going our way when, in a moment’s notice, we can be gripped with fear, concern, and worry. At those times, if we’re keeping our eyes on Jesus, we’ll stand strong no matter what the circumstances are that are swirling around us. Keeping our…
A Little Band of Women Who Are Still Here and Not Done
Up until this weekend, I was in the throes of ramrodding a retreat in Tulsa for my beloved Sister Marie Pierre – now age 90. In this case, “ramrodding” meant connecting with many women who had attended one of her 40 years of retreats. Obviously, while I was going through the list, I found many…

I Confess. I am a Martha-holic.

Are We So Spoiled Because We’re So Blessed?
I am here for my volunteer work at Children’s Hospital and it starts out slow this morning. The radiology techs give me a sweet card of thanks and a great set of earbuds. I am blessed. I have time to read my scriptures for today and then have an “aha” moment. In Acts 3:26, Peter…
Got Desert? Green Pastures Await You!
It’s difficult to think of desert in the midst of the torrential rains we had in the last 24-hours here in Frisco. But, deserts did come to mind when I thought about the “desert experiences” of life. Not far from the lush rolling hills in Austin where my children live, you can find yourself in…
