Leaving for Mexico With Joy in our Hearts
Here we go — part of our missions’ crew waiting for our flight to Mexico! “How beautiful are the feet of them who bring good news” Isaiah 52:7! Our feet are HAPPY FEET and are really looking good because THE GOOD NEWS is where we live everyday — just carrying it with us to Mexico!…
From Belize to Mexico — For the Love of God’s People
I can’t begin to express the joy I have this morning as I join other friends and family as we fly out on a missions trip to Mexico. This time it’s not about “What’s in it for me?”, but about “making a difference in other people’s lives”. Of course, I’ve been reliving the times my…
Are You Living in the Zone?
Have you ever been inspired as you watched an athlete play HIS GAME and you’d see him at his best, doing his best and having remarkable results? Commentators would say…”He’s sure in the zone, today!” Being “in the zone” is when someone’s actions seem effortless, almost as if they could score at will — just…
Wearing My Rose-Colored Glasses
Yesterday I was at my dentist’s office for a routine cleaning, but I’ve had a little gum issue, so the recommendation was to have that area lasered. I not only said “go for it”, but I asked if they could laser some of my wrinkles while they were at it. LOL! We each had to…
Our One-of-A-Kind Shoes Made By THE Designer
“Give a gal the right shoes and she can conquer the world” — Marilyn Monroe. That quote, and, especially that adorable little girl prancing around in her Mama’s shoes, sure does bring a smile to my face. Little girls just want to be like their Mamas. But, there’s something about us BIG girls that want…
Make a Better World — It Starts With You and Me
The Pessimist moans, “I could make a better world than this.” The Optimist sings, “Go for it !!! That’s what God put you here for!” Indeed we can make this world a better place by taking on an attitude of “I’m here — not to just take up space, but God placed me here on…
Living in the Sweet Spot
Want to know the secret to my joy, my peace, my place of absolute contentment? I’ll admit – “I’m in a sweet spot!” Even, the very day of the “big reveal” of my Sweetheart’s diagnosis – Stage 4 Kidney Cancer – I was enveloped in a blanket of peace. And to this very day, I…
Life Can Be a Great Adventure….It’s Up to You!
Helen Keller said, “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing!” Helen overcame the adversity of being blind and deaf to become one of the 20th century’s leading humanitarians, ADVENTURING into life, and accomplishing great things. That’s what I love about little kids — you’ll find them climbing the shelves of a pantry or jumping…
At the End of Your Rope — Hold On!
Feel like you’ve failed at something one too many times…..and you’re ready to throw in the towel? Feel like you’ve prayed too many times….and the answer just has not come? Feel like you’re at the end of your rope…..and there’s no where else, or no one else, to go to? And, you’ve even spoken the…
Ever Have a Day When the Last Straw Broke the Camel’s Back?
Ever have one of those days when, in spite of all your good deeds, good thoughts, good intentions…..that — out of nowhere — you just blow it? I may give the impression that I’m Pollyannaish (that word is from “Pollyanna,” the heroine of the famous 1913 novel “Pollyanna”, whose outlook on life was one of…
