Don’t Be Normal. Be Different. Take the High Road.
I warn you! DON’T click on THAT link!!! Because I did. I clicked on a link that was in my timeline. The link led me to a well-known actor speaking at the Tonys Awards with such vile and profane words against our President that I quickly exited out. Here’s what God says to us about…
Won’t You Be My Neighbor?
I’m continuing on in my “We Need Each Other” campaign. I was inspired recently when I ran across a FB post that asked, “Remember this guy?” with a photo of this sharp looking, well-dressed man. Yes, I remember this really cool dude that greeted us daily on TV, Mr. Rogers. I apologize to you young’uns’…
We All Need Somebody to Lean On!
This post is a follow-up to my “No Man is an Island” post from yesterday. My heart ached when I heard about Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain recently taking their lives. I didn’t know them, but I remembered a precious friend, who recently took her life. Depression is real. Heartbreak is real. Loneliness is real.…
No Man is an Island, so Why Try to be One?
My Austin family recently acquired four more goats to add to the family’s five goats, making it now a 9-member herd. One of the new goats was a loner from the start. He didn’t hang with the rest of the herd and stayed at least 20-feet away from them. The family kept trying to bond…
Proven Way to Get Your Way
Oh my. This girl. She. Cracks. Me. Up. On the way to Beavers Bend a couple of weeks ago, my granddaughter was working her daddy over to stop “pleeease” stop at a Chick-fil-A so she could get a biscuit. We were already running behind in our schedule. And she could have easily gotten herself one…
Life is Like a Roller Coaster
Life is Like a Roller Coaster. I’ve been enjoying the photos shared by FB friends that are having the times of their lives on their summer vacations. They didn’t waste a minute getting their summer fun on! Some have made trips to the mountains and others made their way to giant roller coaster mountains at…
What SUPPLEMENTS Do You Take?
From the looks of this photo, you’d think I am a supplement and vitamin junkie. Well, I guess I am and this case of pills and capsules proves it. Many years ago I realized the health and nutrition benefits from a regime of daily supplements that include vitamins, minerals, herbals, and fish oils. Most recently,…
They Leave the Nest — But They’ll Be Back
They Leave the Nest — But They’ll Be Back For those who have followed the tales of my dove family who took up occupancy on my fireplace vent on my patio several weeks ago, I’m pleased to report the babies are on their own and have left the nest. I couldn’t check on them until…
How Does How Does YOUR Garden Grow — With Pretty Flowers or Pesky Weeds?
After a week away from home, I was overwhelmed when I saw the weeds that had popped up in my flower beds in such a short period of time. Whew! Dear God, why did you create weeds to grow so well and oftentimes grow so much healthier and stronger than the beautiful flowers and plants…
Our Room With a View
After a sweet heaven-on-earth few days at Beavers Bend with my family, we parted ways as they returned to Frisco, and I headed to Tulsa because the next day I would be attending a Confirmation Retreat as a sponsor to a precious teenage girl. First things first when I go to Tulsa — I go…
