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…

Keep Your Eyes on the Ball

This is a great “Dad/Son story”: “My 7-year-old son seems to have natural abilities for sports, and most recently, for baseball. I’ve taken him for batting cage practice, I throw the ball to him a lot and I go with him to his team’s practice, but I don’t really know what to tell him to…

When the airport’s TSA agent was frisking my granddaughter a couple of weeks ago because she was a little “shifty” looking (NOT! It was her water bottle in her purse and a large bottle of sunblock in her carry-on), we realized the importance of being compliant with TSA’s regulations. Yesterday, I thought about how TSA…

Abba, Father

The Life Group I’ve started attending uses the devotional book “100 Names of God” as a resource for study and discussion. When I first attended the group, and it was my turn to share about one of my favorite names for God, I shared that it is Jehovah Shalom – God, my peace. I went…

You Make a Beautiful Difference

Sweet “in your face” (literally) reminders of the beauty we have and beauty we can give in the Ladies’ restrooms in the school where the kids’ Speech and Debate tournament was held this weekend. I loved it and just had to take photos of them. Oh, that women of all ages had these reminders daily.…

The Power of PRE — Preparation

We’ve just completed another Regional Speech and Debate Tournament in Lewisville, TX. I say “We” because I dig my heels in along with the other parents and community judges who volunteer to judge the debate and speech rounds. I’m always amazed at these young people who are “preparing” for life by being involved in a…

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Do you have your “green” on today? After all, it’s St. Patrick’s Day and the most important thing about this day is that we wear green so we don’t get pinched!! NOT! There will be celebrations all around the world, which includes drinking endless pints of Guinness while wearing green and Ireland’s flag colors like…
