Miracles Still Happen
And, the wait is worth it. Over the multi-years of my life, I have faced insurmountable times of worry, defeat, dealt with problems that couldn’t be solved, health issues that seemed hopeless, and many things that I couldn’t understand. A miracle was needed and sometimes it felt like it was too little, too late, and…
His Chosen Ones
Watching “The Chosen” series, I have been enlightened to what it might have looked like back in the days when Jesus walked, talked, healed, corrected, uplifted, raised people from the dead, performed miracles of loaves and fishes, and taught the masses. Seriously, I don’t read a scripture in the New Testament now without seeing it…
I Know Who Holds Tomorrow
Today, March 5th, is Primary Election Day here in Texas. I am up and at ‘em to head to my polling location where I’ll be working from 6 a.m. until 8 p.m. tonight. I am stoked. I can’t begin to convey how patriotic I feel about being a part of this process. There will…
Face-to-Face
The year is 1968. My workplace in Dallas is having its employees’ Christmas’ family night. The 18-month-old boy here is Ryan, my son. Notice the Nehru suit along with the Beatles’ haircut. Also, notice the look on my boy’s face – he wasn’t at all impressed with the Santa who was giving out Christmas stockings.…
Just How Big is God?
He’s big enough to rule the entire universe, yet small enough to live within my heart. You ask me how I know He lives and is in control – because He lives within my heart! Such simple yet such powerful words! God’s “bigness” happens to be the defining legacy of my mom. In every single…
Our Ark aka Cabinet Project
As hilarious as it was, it still went SOUTH! We had it! Done with not enough storage space! So, we went to the IKEA store for a storage cabinet for the excess in our kitchen. But, to our chagrin, it was no longer in stock. So, since Amazon seems to carry everything, we found a…
Salt or NO Salt
Happy March! Let’s keep MARCHING ON!For years, I have embraced this time of the year for not only a time of Lent (from Ash Wednesday to the Saturday before Easter) and introspection of this “temple of the Holy Spirit” that God gave me (and you). 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 says: “Do you not know that your…
Affirming ME!
This “leap year” day gives me the opportunity to close out this LOVE month with a conscious effort of loving and affirming ME! What??? Donna! That sure sounds braggadocious! Oh, but not so! Hear me out! In the dictionary, “Self-Affirmation” is the recognition of the existence and value of one’s individual self. Yes, we live…
Let’s Be Doers
Ever say these words to a relative or friend? “Let me know if there is anything I can do for you.” Those words that are blurted out without really thinking and with a little, “I hope they don’t need anything!” It’s a phrase I have overused through the years. Anytime someone has had a loss…
Our Hearts’ Compass
You might be asking “My heart has a compass?” Oh, yes it does. Proverbs 3:5-6 says this: “Trust in the Lord with ALL YOUR HEART and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” I love asking young people what their career path looks like.…
