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…
What Would You Ask of Your Genie?
These days I do a lot of reminiscing. I’m not looking in a rear-view mirror to pine away at the memories of the past. I go back in time to cherish the sweetest times when God proved His faithfulness time and again. While our precious family from Canada has been here, we did some of…
Being Validated
I was excited when I found a parking space on the street of downtown Austin at the United States Federal Courthouse building when we were heading in for Karlei’s swearing in ceremony. Gord, (her dad), had to drive to a near-by parking garage. I followed the directions at the parking meter: 1) Type in your…
Love Isn’t Debatable
Love Isn’t DebatableI am not a good debater. I cave as soon as someone starts to get all in a flurry about their point of view. On the other hand, I have family members who say: “Bring it on” when a potential debate surfaces. That’s my grandson, Payton. He is a successful businessman and much…
Jesus Counts by Ones
I didn’t quite get the song: “Reckless Love” when I first heard it. I thought it was disrespectful to call God’s love or Christ’s love “reckless”. But then, after hearing it over and over, I came to appreciate it because I realized the magnitude of a shepherd leaving his 99 sheep to go after the…
Got Skin in the Game?
As a die-hard fan of the Dallas Cowboys, I only have memories invested in them. On the other hand, I read this of Jerry Jones, the owner of the Cowboys. He can surely say “I have “skin in the game”! More than three decades ago, Jerry Jones bought the Dallas Cowboys and Texas Stadium for…
If I Had a Do-Over
Roll back the curtains of memories now and then! That’s what I was doing when I remembered this time of year when my daughter and family lived in Seattle. Payton and Alexia attended Bellevue Christian School. Often, Staci would call me on their way home from school. This day, I heard Alexia shouting in the…
Excuse me. Do you have a minute?
Do you have intimidating people in your life who make you feel a little “less than” when you need a few minutes of their time? After all, they’re busy people and you don’t want to distract them from their project at hand. I have several people like that in my life and to protect the…
Let’s Talk About My Lamp
I have two lamps in my living area that are for ambience only, and unless company is coming, I don’t even turn them on. But they do provide a great atmosphere as the bottom of the lamp lights up inside a marble base. So, there’s my inspiration for this blog. Everyday, as a part of…
You Lead. I’ll Follow.
Though I’ve posted this photo before, I just had to post it again for memories’ sake. That hairdo on me came from the late 60s. It was called the bee-hive — the higher the hair, the closer to God we felt! LOL! Curls-on-steroids! What was I thinking? Those were our Master’s IV Gospel Quartet days…
