He MAKES Me Lie Down in Green Pastures
In yesterday’s post, I mentioned I was heading over to the main house as my month-long hiatus had come to an end. Famous last words – little did I realize that the flu virus hanging around Austin had caught up with me. “Lord, have mercy” was my prayer for the next 24 hours. After I…
Back to God’s Creation & Baseball
So I’m back to living out loud with my family, but that sure doesn’t hinder me from keeping my eyes wide open for God moments. I took Brennan to his baseball practice at 6:30 pm. This photo of the western skies doesn’t do it justice. They were the reddest red, exploding with “the beauty and…
Trust Me — I Have a Plan….God
My month-long hiatus ended yesterday, and today I’m moving over to the main house to reconnect with my family. What a great day to return to the real world – the newlyweds arrived (grandkids, Braden and Ruth) and oh how sweet it is to catch up with them. After all, I haven’t seen them since…
Practiced Up on Your Baby Love Songs Lately?
Well, if you, or someone close to you is expecting a new little bundle of joy, then it’s time to break into the sweetest love songs EVER! Those are the ones you sing while rocking that little angel. There is nothing like it. It is truly “heaven-sent” moments. I wrote about love songs yesterday, but…
Sweet and Romantic Love Songs
When my then-boyfriend (later, my husband) and I were dating (young things that we were), we had a favorite “puppy love” song, Bobby Vee’s “My Venus in Blue Jeans” — LOL! As we continued dating, we crooned over “Hey Paula, I Wanna’ Marry You” and then being avid musical theater fans, “our song” was The…
Sing and Walk
Pope Francis said “Singing is good for one’s soul, so sing and walk. Christian life is a path, but it is not a sad path. It is a joyous path that is done singing and walking’, so SING and WALK! Those words resonated with me. I’ve been doing that for a very long time. My…
Breaker-Breaker 1-9 — Got Your Ears On?
“Breaker – Breaker 1-9” “Got a copy?” “Got your ears on?” In CB (Citizens Band – short distance radio) talk that meant we were trying to reach another CB-er on the Channel 19. A reply might have come back: “You’re clear. What’s your 20?” (Your location) Oh, yes, I was a CB-er in the 70’s…
DOING Christianity is Complicated; BEING a Christian is NOT
This sweet time of solitude for the last 3+ weeks has given me great insight on “doing Christianity versus being a Christian”. I really needed this time of focus for wisdom and direction – not to mention, clear out some of the cobwebs in my thinking. I’ve been a gal who has relentlessly pursued God…
It Takes Two
It Takes Two I’ve loved seeing this framed photo in the guest house every day since I’ve been here. Those are my two youngest grandsons — Brennan & Bryson. I’ve especially relished the beautiful landscape and the rare “brotherly love” moment. Not rare in the sense that they really love each other, but they are,…
What Matters Most is Love
Yesterday, I posted about it being the “The Love Month”, sincerely hoping to awaken our senses to being people that love from the heart this month. It was like getting a high-5 from God when later in the day, I opened one of my resource books, Rick Warren’s “The Purpose Drive Life”, to the chapter…
