We’re Still Standing on the SPOT!!!!
We’re Still Standing on the SPOT!!!! “But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in Him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries…
His Mercies Are Never Depleted…They Are New Every Morning!
“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. ‘The LORD is my portion’, says my soul; therefore will I hope in Him. Lamentations 2:22-24. Ron and I grew up as “church” kids. Both of our parents ensured that we…
Whole Lotta Infusion Goin’ On!!
Infusion — To fill or cause to be filled with something; Injection; Instill. That’s a word that we’ve encountered many times in the last several weeks. My Honey has had more than his share of I.V. infusions for hydration, nutrition, medication, blood transfusions, and then on Friday, August 13th, he was infused with the first…
Nurse Donna On Duty 24/7
At age 14, I was a Candy Striper at a hospital in Dallas. The unique job title represented the candy cane look of the red and white-striped pinafores we wore. Back in those days, I aspired to one day being a nurse, so, like other teenage girls, we volunteered to assist the nurses at the…
V is for V-I-C-T-O-R-Y
Knowing my Honey would be going into surgery tomorrow (Thursday), I called on my “walking/praying” buddies, Karen and Sheila. It was time to declare VICTORY as we made our seven laps around the hospital. It had been a very hot day in Tulsa — pushing 98 degrees with a heat index of 105 degrees, but…
Dr. Whirlwind and Dr. Peace — Relax. Trust Me.
Dr. Whirlwind and Dr. Peace — Relax. Trust Me. Six years ago my sweetheart was in for another hospital adventure. We were still learning some very important lessons on our faith journey. I needed an extra dose of peace yesterday, so I thought about those lessons. I had some good reminders and thought maybe my…
Aboard Our Hospital Cruise Ship
Several years ago, while we were on the 2nd day of a cruise to the Southern Caribbean, we were just about to retire for the night, when all of a sudden, the lights on the ship began to flicker and then we heard, and felt, the engines come to a fast stop. It was a…
A Roller Coaster Ride is Great….But Sometimes You Just Want to Throw Up!
Early on in my blogging I described our faith journey as a roller coaster ride — twists and turns, and ups and down, and throwing our hands up in the air and enjoying the ride!! But, as a friend shared with recently….roller coaster rides make her want to throw up! And, I’ll admit..I’ve had days…
He Makes Me Lie Down in Green Pastures
Never so clearly have those words been understood, and felt, as they have been in the last few weeks. During the time of recovery from the recent surgeries, I watched my Honey embrace the solitude and peacefulness of our bedroom where we have a comfortable double recliner that overlooks the beautiful lake that adjoins our…
Our Chief Surgeon!!!
“Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Those are the words (God’s words) that rang in my heart many times in the last 2-1/2 months since first receiving the news…
