God Gave Us YOU, Larry Wallace!
Friday morning, I took Larry his requested “Granny’s Chocolate Cake” for his birthday — well, it’s her recipe, but now I get to take the glory for having perfected it! LOL! Since I’m going to be out of the country on his birthday, June 9th, and since we’re a family that one day of celebration…
Wonder Woman Could Fly; Eagles Can Fly, If They Try, and So Can You and I
As a private pilot, I know that before I could get my pilot’s license, I had to take many hours of “ground” school first — to learn everything I needed to know about the airplane, what makes it fly, the weather, distance measurement and so much more. The more I had to be in ground school,…
Opposites Attract
At dinner last week at our fishing cabin, with three 17-year old guys, as only Staci can do when she is in rare form (that’s most of the time), asked the boys what were they looking for in a future wife. I know what’s she’s doing when she asks those kinds of questions. It’s an…
A City on a Hill
While in Stonebriar Mall yesterday, I stopped by one of my favorite boutiques, Altar’d State. Favorite — not because I’ve ever bought more than two or three items there, but because of the “feel good” experience I get when I shop there. I see this store being a “city on a hill”. Matthew 5:14 “You…
Again….Proverbs 3:5-6
Again….Proverbs 3:5-6 Yesterday, my post was around that scripture “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding; in all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths”. I had just pushed the “Post” button, and then checked my emails. Imagine my surprise and disappointment when I…
I’m Trusting in the Lord With All My Heart!
When I lived in Tulsa and headed up a Life Group in my home, I bought several of these little plates to give to the gals on their birthday. I’d add some yummy treats to the gift, but the words from Proverbs 3:5, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart” was the most important…
Happy Memorial Day!
Happy Memorial Day! I live in a 55+ community of 2,000+ homes, and this Memorial Day, I am recognizing incredible patriotism as American flags are lining the main roadways and nearly every home has a flag in their yard or on their home. I’m quite sure many of those who live in this community are…
We Can Learn From Those Annoying Ants
There is nothing that beats spending time in the great outdoors and having a rustic cabin to go to — with cozy beds, a bathroom, running water, a kitchen to cook in and a screened in back porch to sit and watch the beautiful running waters of the river. Some would disagree with my words…
The Fishing Trip’s Grand Finale
If there’s a scripture I rely on, live by, practice, use in my blog posts, and appreciate, it’s Romans 8:28 “ALL THINGS work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purposes.” It seems to be that scripture…..at the end of the day or at the end of the…
Life Moves Pretty Fast
In the words of the great philosopher, Ferris Bueller, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you’ll miss it!” That is so true, and unless you’re my age, or more, you may not give those words a second thought now…..but give it a few years, and beieve…
