Still Celebrating Easter
Looking across the room to my TV stand, I see two framed photos. One, with all my children and grandchildren and me. The other is one of my husband and me. It’s a way of introducing my neighbors to my loves. My family was altogether over the weekend — well, except for my sweetheart in…
Easter for a Day or Every Day?
Early this morning, I asked for God’s forgiveness for being so caught up in sights, sounds, eating like there is no tomorrow and so much joy in family togetherness here in Cabo. After all, this is the season of Lent when we hold back from over-indulging and we push the “pause-button” on entertainment for the…
The Older I Get – the more Thankful I Become
These photos say it all. The first one: 2010 – 6 days after my sweetheart was promoted to heaven. We flew to Cabo San Lucas for Thanksgiving. (Papa was supposed to have been with us – but God had such a better plan for him.) Is this a photo of a grieving widow and sad…
He Did it Again
I love telling the “He-Did-It-Again” stories. You know. Those stories that verify “All things work together for good to those who love God and are called for His purposes” (Romans 8:28). Case in point. While organizing my office supplies, I ran across an iPhone 6S Plus that I had before purchasing my iPhone 11. First,…
Wise and Cautious Without Fear
I have spoken to many people who are very cautious about these times when we are urged to wear masks, regularly sanitize, and keep social distances because of the pandemic. Maybe they’ve had a loved one that tested positive for the virus or even lost a loved one. I can understand their concern. But if…
Breath of God
In my prayer time, I said these words “Thank You for your breath, Lord!” What? Where did that come from? Who do we ever say “Thank you for your breath” because breath can be stinky? But not so with the breath of Jesus. In asking for His breath, I knew that I was asking for…
My User Manual & My Daily Medicine Dose
From TVs to cars, most everything we purchase these days come with user manuals. For most of us, we rarely read the user manual until something breaks down or isn’t working properly. But, then, we don’t even go to the manual first, we google our issue and find the answer there. Today, I’m talking about…
Jesus is the Life of the Party
It’s very different for us this year. What a surprise, after a year and half endeavoring to sell their home, my Frisco children’s home sold right here at Christmas and the buyer needed to close and move in by December 28th. That meant the hustle would be on to first, my children finding their next…
Being Careful But Not Judgmental
I want to be very careful with my words today because I cringe with the thought that I could sound judgmental. I don’t get into politics much, though I am adamant in my position which I think is obvious for Who I follow — our Abundant Life Provider (John 10:10). Maybe I’m naiive because I…
Choose Life
What helps me pass the time when I’m traveling or on a treadmill or elliptical equipment, is listening to audio books. Since I’m a “romantic” at heart, I enjoy listening to Karen Kingsbury’s Christian inspirational books of intrigue, a tinge of romance and happy endings. The story-line of a recent one I listened to, included…
