Breathe in Jesus and Peace. Breathe Out Stress.
My assignment? Simply pick-up 13-year old Brennan at the airport. He would be arriving from Seattle where he’d been at summer camp for the last week. I needed to ensure I was on time because, traveling as an unaccompanied minor meant I had to get my pass to go through security to get to his…
Is Your Superhero a Leader Worth Following?
The first night back here in Austin, Bryson wanted me to take him to see the new “Spider-Man: Homecoming” Movie. He had already seen it once – once wasn’t enough (in this photo, you can see he’s loved Spider-Man for years). He wanted to see it again, so that was our Thursday “date night” fun.…
This Season May Be About “Ministry”
Following God’s lead, looks like this for me for a few days (see photos). I’m here in Austin on a “ministry” call to see after my youngest grandson for a couple of days before his big brother gets home from camp up in Seattle, and then we’ll have Nana/Bryson/Brennan fun for a couple of days…
LORD, Let Me Let YOU Lead Me!
I was having a sweet time of morning devotion when I looked at this mug that sits on my dining room table. I purchased this mug a while ago as a reminder WHO is supposed to be leading in this “romance” and journey of faith between God and I. This day, I got the message,…
This Frisco/Dallas Traffic is MY Traffic — Mine Versus Mind
Have you ever seen a baby that’s just beginning to talk, and one of the first words he speaks, especially if he has an older sibling, is “Mine”! The sibling or little friend may be trying to play with one of his toys, when the baby grabs it back and says “Mine!” Undoubtedly, the parent’s…
Happy Birthday to my Sweet Mama
July 12th, 2011 — The Carpenters (one of my favorite 60s duo) sang…”On the day that you were born the angels got together, and decided to create a dream come true. So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue” (Song was “Close to You”). And today,…
Worry FREE – Guarantee!
“Don’t Worry???” You may be saying “That’s easy for you to say — you’re not facing what I’m facing today.” Perhaps not the exact challenge or situation, but I’ve known troubles and I’ve had reasons to worry. And, out of those times, I survived — so much so, that I sincerely desire to “help comfort…
Doing Our Part for Our Generation…..And the Next
People need Godly role models in their lives — pacesetters who set the pace for others to follow. That’s the way Jesus set the example for His disciples — so that they would carry on His example to others. Think about how He encouraged, motivated, and stirred up the gifts of those around Him. He…
What a Day This Has Been!
“What a day this has been. What a rare mood I’m in — why it’s almost like being in love. There’s a smile on my face, for the whole human race — why it’s almost like being in love!” Old song that I was singing at the end of yesterday! That’s because I sat out…
Happy Anniversary #51
A few days ago, I was with a group of ladies, and in casual conversation, I asked the gal beside me how long she’d been married. She said “44 long years – some days I think ‘That’s enough, already!’” Then she laughed and I knew she was just kidding, but that didn’t stop me from…
