Renewed and Refreshed
Retreat — To Refresh and Renew Yesterday, I returned from a 4-day women’s retreat in Chouteau, OK. Being on the Leadership Team and preparing for this retreat meant intentional two-times-a-week meeting and much diligence, focus and preparation by our team to give these women an event that had the potential of tremendously impacting their lives.…
What is your life echoing today?
I was in a store and I heard a small child speakable such unthinkable language. I could hardly believe my ears. Yet the parent seemed oblivious to the words. That parent or environment that the child lived in — sent out the words, and the child echoed those words back. In another situation, I witnessed…
Time for Change — FALL Back!
Summer is officially over….though it has seemed to drag its feet here in Tulsa! We’ve had way warmer temperature than usual…..but hold on…..change is coming. In fact, it’s cooler today – just in time to give a little ARK (Act of Random of Kindness) to my FB friends. I’m wanting you to get that extra…
My Prediction for November 9th
There is nothing I could say that could top this message that was recently written by one of my favorite authors, Max Lucado. I wouldn’t give up my own posting for just anyone, but because I believe these words so much, it’s as though THIS IS MY POST! I urge you to read every word…
That’s Gotta Hurt!
This photo came up on our timeline a couple of days ago, and many have commented about it. It doesn’t take much for my daughter and I to find something hilarious in the midst of a routine day. We posed for this photo at a Pumpkin Patch and of course Staci would caption it “Hmm….that’s…

It Starts With the Family
As part of the leadership team on retreat for an upcoming event next weekend, we were privileged to have Tulsa’s new Bishop, David Konderla, as our guest speaker. At the end of his talk, we had the opportunity to ask him questions. One of the questions asked was “What comments would you give regarding the…
Happy Birthday, Mom! You Sure Make Me Want to Up My Game!
Today is my sweet mother-in-law’s 94th birthday. It’s such a good time to express my love and gratitude for her — especially because if it weren’t for the love that she and Dad had for each other, then their precious gift of their son to me would never have been. Mom’s life represents my life…
Brighten the Corner Where You Are
Yesterday, at a beautiful Fall Retreat with 28 precious women, a scripture contained in a “love letter” from God to us, resonated with me: “You are a child of the light and a child of the day. You do not belong to the night or to the darkness.” 1 Thessalonians 5:5. Literally, a light came…
