When in Rome, Do What the Romans Do
You’ve heard that saying, but it’s so much better “When in Rome, do what Christ would do!” “Do What the Romans Do” comes from when visiting a foreign land, you should follow the customs of those who live in it. It can also mean that when you are in an unfamiliar situation, you should follow…
Next Stop: Rome
Good Tuesday Morning, dear friends and family! We’ve just landed in Frankfurt, Germany for our transfer to Rome. We should be in Rome by noon (we’re 7 hours ahead of you while we’re in Rome. God does orchestrate our steps because the first couple I met in Houston on this tour, is a lovely Philippino…
My Faith Journey Pilgrimage Begins TODAY!
ucket list) trip. I’ve prayed that it would exceed being a tourist. I am purposefully seeking a spiritual experience and deepening of my faith that as I’ve heard others say “You’ll never be the same.” Our first four days will be in Rome. Though my Sweetheart and I were there for our 40th anniversary, and…
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,…

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…

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…
