What’s Your Default Setting?
I’m sure we’ve all had to deal with “default settings” on some of our electronics. For example, if our cell phone is having issues, and all else fails, we’re told to reset it back to the default or factory settings. On our computers, our fonts or our margins are programmed to the default setting, until…
Lord, Please Help Me to be a Lifetime Adventurer
Life can be a great adventure, especially when it starts out with my furry friend, Buddy. Adventure is defined as an unusual, exciting, typically hazardous, experience or activity. What’s so unusual and hazardous about walking a dog? ~ The Terrain — there’s cracks and unlevel walking paths, curbs, roads that have high traffic patterns and…
Love Conquers All
Yesterday, I started out with a spring in my step and joy in my heart, celebrating my great big, wonderful God who confounds me with His unfathomable love for me. I spoke into my day blessings and peace as I continued with thanksgiving to my Lord for His goodness to me. That’s the way my…
Be AnxIous for Nothing (No-Thing)!
Notice the letter in the middle of the word “anxious” — it’s an I. When I am handling MY affairs, when I am the one in charge, when I rely on myself for the outcome of MY decisions and plans, then I can easily get ANXIOUS about every-thing! Yesterday, I practiced those words “Be anxious…
Change of Plans: Hail — No!!
When I posted on Monday (the day after the major hailstorm here in Frisco), about the opportunities that can come from a storm, I didn’t realize that it would apply to not only my grandkids and those friends who get extra work when storms come, but it would be applicable to me, too! Here’s what…
Easter is the Answer to EVERYTHING!
As I was on my morning walk, I saw this sign in one of the neighbors’ front yard. I looked around at other homes, and it occurred to me that there were no other reminders that the Easter season is here. Even at our local stores — Easter décor is pretty slim pickin’s. To think…
Knights of The Round Table
As I walked yesterday, randomly, I heard these words “Knights of the Round Table”. When out-of-the-blue thoughts come like that, I know a blog post subject has come to me, so I best start meditating and researching it. And I did. I’m quite sure this is what prompted it. As most mornings at the Wallace’s,…
Opportunities Often Come in the Storm
I thought about this Christmas cartoon when I witnessed a Texas-size hailstorm last night. LOL! Actually, it was a sight to be behold, and hear pounding on the roof of my kids’ home. Just as it was starting to come down (pea-sized), Larry quickly put my car in the garage. Soon after that, the sizes…
Lessons I’ve Learned From Buddy
Who would have thought that Buddy (my grandson’s Australian Shepherd) and I would have become pals, since, after all, I’m not really a dog lover. In fact, when Payton first got Buddy, he put some of Papa’s favorite cologne on him so that Nana would like him. Yes, that was appealing. LOL! Now, I’ve actually…
