What a Ride!
Last Monday, Labor Day — instead of grilling burgers or napping in a hammock, Carl and I decided to shake things up. No “same-oh, same-oh.” We took ourselves on a field trip to the Bullock Texas State History Museum in Austin — and oh my, what a ride through time! Carl’s from Lubbock, I’m from…
Walk By Faith — Not By Sight
“We walk by faith, not by sight.” – 2 Corinthians 5:7What powerful words to anchor our hearts and minds as we high step our way through this new year! Walking by faith isn’t just a stroll in the park — it’s an adventure! It stretches us, surprises us, and reminds us that God’s ways are…
Cruising with Jesus
Speaking from experience today. Embarking on a cruise with the love of your life offers sunsets, sea breezes, and an all-you-can-eat buffet. Now, imagine if this weren’t just a sea journey but a spiritual voyage with Jesus as your captain. Welcome to “Cruising with Jesus,” a journey as transformative as the destination, led by the…
One Pedal at a Time
We are all running a race, but not the kind you might imagine. We don’t have the same starting line, the same distance to go, or the same steps to take. I snapped this photo of my work-out partner. Well, not really my work-out partner, but Norman is always in the fitness center on the…
I’m Available
I am in an availability season! I can change my mind and do this or that almost 24/7. It is a sweet season. I get to volunteer for several groups. I get to encourage and help others. I get to make decisions about going here or there with a friend at a moment’s notice. I…
The Cleft of the Rock
My last day in Cabo meant my last morning adventure. I executed a new plan this morning. Still dark outside, I drove the golf cart with headlights on as far as I could go before I reached the sandy beach and shore. The sun was just starting to cast its dreamy colors. I heard the…
It Takes Two
My daily work-out routine has included 20 minutes on the stationary, moving-arms bicycle then 40 minutes on the elliptical equipment. But adjustments were required for that routine when the old sciatic nerve started acting up from sitting too long on the bicycle. Shish! Who likes to admit having to adjust our life-routines because of body…
The Perfect Dates
Our family from Canada headed back north yesterday. While here, they took in the sun, had great family time, enjoyed shopping sprees, and prepared for the snow that remains and is hopefully starting to melt as the temperatures rise in Winnipeg. And, I, headed northeast to Rusk to help my daughter move into their new…
Disappointment Might be an Appointment
Daily I read what I wrote in my journal for this day last year. Since early January, I’ve read about the excitement of being on the leadership team for our upcoming ACTS Retreat that was to have been on the weekend of April 23rd. We were wonder-eyed and “on fire” with passion and great anticipation…
Keep On Keeping On
Of course this precious man’s photo is my inspiration for today. Heaven is a wonderful place and every time I hear about someone’s loved one getting to go there, it seems to get sweeter and sweeter. At least it sure does for me. I am a team member on a Faith & Grief support group…
