A Window of Opportunity

I wasn’t planning on returning home to Frisco until today, but I saw the “warnings” about the torrential rain that was soon to hit Austin around noon yesterday and the rains expected to hit Frisco that would go on into today. Knowing it was God’s wisdom in that “window of opportunity”, I quickly packed up…

What I Learned in our History Class

My 11-year-old grandson and I checked off “completed” by his home-school subjects one-by-one yesterday. I get to be his “substitute” teacher when His mom is away. The best part is I find that I learn as much as he does when we’re “in class”. Some of his curriculum (i.e., American History, geography, and reading) are…

Laying Up Treasures in Heaven

Yesterday, we attended my grandson’s “matriculation” ceremony. I asked, “What does matriculation mean?” Maybe you’d like to know the answer, too! Matriculation is the admission to a group, particularly a school. After some IQ-testing, my grandson passed the exams and was admitted (matriculated) to Regents School of Austin, and yesterday, his dad, mom and I…

I’m a Fisher-Woman

Because You Deserve to Be Happy

That was the “subject” on my email from Ulta yesterday morning. It jumped out at me. That word, “deserve”, says it all. We live in a self-gratification, self-centered, self-entitlement, and selfie world. I get it! We all want to be happy. Isn’t that the greatest goal in life? I loved Bobby Ferrin’s upbeat, reggae song,…

Are We Listening Well?

Hanging out with my grandchildren always gives me inspiration for my daily blog. When I watched “The Lego Movie” with my youngest grandson, I heard Emmett say, “I think I got it, but just in case, tell me the whole thing again. I wasn’t listening.” I think I’m too often like Emmett. Listening well hasn’t…
