Happy St. Patrick’s Day

I am wearing “green” 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! I am also wearing my Celtic cross! It is said that the Celtic cross was introduced by St Patrick, who was attempting to convert the…

A Whisper Will Do

Oftentimes, my husband speaks to me in a whisper so I’ll say, “What did you say?” Not because I didn’t hear him, I wasn’t paying attention to what he was saying. He not only repeats what he said, but he raises his voice a decibel louder. It’s hilarious – especially when I think the neighbors…

Where is YOUR Sweet Spot?

A few days ago, I wrote about my “sanctuary” where I find sweet peace and rest. That’s my “sweet spot”. Jesus said to His disciples “Come away with me and rest awhile” (Mark 6:31). Did you know when all around us seems to be chaos that we can “Lie down in green pastures so our…

The Edits of our Lives

I read on Tuesday that Princess Catherine of Wales aka Princess Kate, issued an apology because she received a backlash for editing a photo she released on social media.  She simply “fixed” a photo to celebrate Mother’s Day.  I get it. She is royalty and authenticity is essential to strict editing guidelines. Apparently this wasn’t…

Stuck in a Rut?

The story behind this photo is worth a million words. With my lack of brevity, I could expound on it with that many words, but I won’t. This is my beloved son, Larry Wallace, who assumed he was far enough from the lake as he seeded his pastures, but, unfortunately, he ran over an underground…

Welcome to my SANCTUARY!

Years ago, a dear friend gave me this sign to remind me that I could live a life of peace if I simply took myself there. SANCTUARY is a place of refuge or safety, haven, shelter, hideaway, port in a storm. Indeed, my friend knew that I needed to be reminded of the SANCTUARY we…

Come Out — Wherever You Are

Last week I blogged about the importance of face-to-face conversations with others. We need others in our lives to fully engage in meaningful times of sharing and caring for each other. Today, not only can we meet friends and acquaintances for lunch or dinner to get to know them better, we can also have face-to-face…

Delighting is an Action Verb

One of my favorite scriptures is Psalm 37:4 — “Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.” Those words mean that when we delight in God and His goodness, He promises that He GIVES us those desires. “Delight” means bringing pleasure to someone and, no doubt, when we…

The Exorcist

When I was young, unbridled, and careless with my mind and what goes in it, I made the foolish mistake of watching horror movies. There was something that drew me into them – only to after watching them, having sleepless nights. What was I thinking? Watching those films tempt us to take our eyes off…

Being the Pen of a Ready Writer

More than anything, I desire to be God’s pen as He is the Ready Writer. Psalm 45:1 says, “… my tongue is the pen of a skillful/ready writer.” That means when we speak words, we are writing them on our heart;s and whatever is conceived in our hearts will eventually come out of our mouths…
