The Sunflowers are Abundant
The family that captures memories together……STAYS TOGETHER…. in love, in support, in encouragement, and in MEMORIES! We missed our two granddaughters: Adeline, Carl’s granddaughter who is a cheerleader at Westlake High School in Austin and couldn’t miss “Senior” night at the football game. And my Alexia, who is attending ministry school in Nashville. But, sooner…
Who is YOUR Coach?
Congrats to the Kansas City Chiefs on their Super Bowl win! And, “maybe next year” are the words we say about “our” teams. I still have everlasting hope for my Cowboys! I know little about what it takes to win a championship, but I like to think that those who honor God and appreciate His…

The old life is gone; a new life has begun!” If only that were true when it comes to poor health, broken hearts, sad songs, relationship debacles and…
A Picture-Perfect New Year

It is easy for our attitudes to turn sour because picture-perfect isn’t what our lives look like. What is it about the…
From Presents to Presence
Yesterday the young ones were jumping in excitement: “He was here! He was here!” The “jolly old soul” showed up! They were sure he was there. The cookie plate and glass of milk were empty! Stockings that were hung by the chimney with care were bulging with presents on the floor. I made it back…
