Coming Home to My Guy
I’ve been in East Texas for the last several days and what a special time we’ve had with my family — my own sweet Wallace four and precious men and women who came out to dedicate the beautiful property that will be known for bringing healing and help to many. After those who came here…
So Long, Farewell, Adios, Goodbye
In the “Sound of Music”, when the Von Trapp family sang that song (with Auf Wiedersehen instead of Adios) as their final number at the German festival, they escaped to freedom in Switzerland. This morning, I, too, am singing that song, but it’s not because I’m escaping a negative situation to find freedom. It’s because…
Hey, It’s Good to be Back Home Again!
It’s almost two weeks in Austin’s super-hyper-mode. I woke up this morning thinking “Yikes – my yard hasn’t been watered in two weeks! I didn’t pack enough vitamins! A stack of mail and lots of projects await me at home!” But, oh, the joy in Austin that peaked over the weekend when my family was…
No Man is an Island, so Why Try to be One?

Stranded or Rescuer
SPOILER ALERT! At our Life Group meeting, last night, we talked about the difference in being someone who feels or is “stranded” – all alone, hopeless and they may have already determined that they wouldn’t make it through their crisis. They’ve quit on pushing on. They’ve given up on life. We also discussed those who…
Sheltered in the Arms of God
Another thing to know about me….in the 70s, my husband, sister-in-law, a dear friend and I were The Master’s 4 Quartet. We traveled the country in a 26′ Winnebago (with our two kids pictured here) — singing/playing Gospel songs in churches, camps, concerts and other venues. Those were great days of many and long road…
