Kindness takes the Higher Ground
Yesterday, after I finished my blog and posted it about how our words matter, I read this email from a ministry. It is the icing on “yesterday’s” cake (aka blog). “I call you, My people, to be kind to one another. The world is filled with selfishness and hatred. But you belong to Me and…
Be a Bunyan
We’ve only just begun, that is, Brennan’s High School Senior Year. Monday was the Convocation Ceremonies for Regents School students’, Kindergarten to Grade 12. The stands were full of parents and families. The floor was full of students. And the mamas of the seniors were shedding a few tears. This is the beginning of the…
Whose Superhero are You?
I was listening to a Christian radio station. The DJ talked about a family he knows whose wife and mom was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. The entire family dressed up in superhero costumes and went with her to each of her chemo treatments to let her know she’s their superhero. The DJ said great…
A Marriage with No Regrets
I received so many “thank you’s” for a blog two years ago, that I know it is time for a repeat. I have many young friends getting married and some “long-time married friends” that I know these words will save them a ton of misery if these “keys” are applied. It’s not often that I…
A Little Encouragement Goes a Long Way
I often see visitors coming into our complex for a tour of the property. Sometimes I strike up a conversation with them to let them know how wonderful it is to live here. I was speaking to a visitor and her daughter and I asked the mother if she was married or single. She immediately…

Cross Words – How About a Game of Scrabble?
Cross Words – How About a Game of Scrabble? I’ll admit, this blog today came from seeing this “Cross-Words” graphic as I scrolled through images. That graphic spoke volumes to me so I added the Scrabble words to a cross. I saw those words and immediately I started thinking about a little game-play I’ve been…
Taking the High Ground with Kindness
After I finished my blog and posted it about “watching our words on the battlefield”, yesterday, I read this daily email from a ministry. It was the “icing on the cake” of what I had said in my blog: “I call you, My people, to be kind to one another. The world is filled with…
Acts of Random Kindness aka ARK
Yesterday, I joined with about 60 other volunteers from my church, to donate the fixin’s and make over 2,400 sandwiches for the homeless in downtown Dallas. The sandwiches, carrots and raisins were then taken to the “The Soup Mobile” which is a mobile soup kitchen that feeds and shelters the homeless in Dallas. Their Mission…
