Can You Hear Me Now?
Can You Hear Me Now? Remember Maxwell Smart in the “Get Smart” series — speaking into his shoe “Can you hear me?” And that line is also from the cell phone commercial that indicates bad cell coverage. But, I wonder how many times we’ve used that line with our kids. “I said for the 3rd,…
Cry Babies Gotta’ Cry
Yesterday, I heard a man telling about how easy it is for him to cry these days — over the birth of a baby, the great love he has for his wife, a touching movie, and the love He has for God and His tender mercies. He said he could cry at the “drop of…
Better to be Patient than Powerful
Patience is what we should pray for, but when we do…..it seems we encounter even more reasons to pray “Lord, give me patience, but PLEASE give it to me NOW!!!” As I type this post I’m asking God to forgive me for my IMPATIENCE. I loved my neat and tidy world here in Tulsa. Beautiful…

History Repeats Itself!
Don’t you love it when history repeats itself — especially the history that was so sweet at the time, the memories that lasted and now, 40 years later, it’s coming around again? This post today was inspired by photos my son sent me with the caption, “Does this bring back memories?” Oh yes it did!…
How Can I Forgive and Forget?
How Can I Forgive and Forget? A friend emailed me yesterday about “forgiving” and “forgetting”. It blessed me. How often do we get hurt by someone, or even, we’re the someone who hurt someone? We keep beating ourselves up about our mistakes, do our best to forgive ourselves and others, but still those mistakes we…
We’re Thoroughbreds in the Making
Each of us have our own assignment to fulfill and we were created, individually and uniquely, to run our OWN race. We might think, “If I just had their good looks, or money, or their skills, or their talent — I could be successful.” Bottom line — God’s sovereign hand of blessing is on OUR…
What’s Your Rhythm?
Rhythm — a strong, regular, repeated pattern of movement or sound. This morning I woke up, looked at the clock and first words out of my mouth were, “Thank you, Lord, for getting my sleep rhythm back to normal.” For me, that is a regular, repeated pattern of at least 6 or 7 hours of…
