Happy Martin Luther King Day!
I can’t help but think about the price this man paid to have a day named after him. With a quick google: “What does it take to have a Federal Holiday named after you?”, I found that it wasn’t an easy task. Creating a Martin Luther King Day met with much controversy. Two of the…
Partnering with God in Filling in the Blanks
Many of us are well under way with filling in the blanks on our 2022 calendars. Here in my 60+ community, we are given help with a 2-weeks-at-a-time calendar. Too many activities for a full month calendar. You can see we are a busy bunch around here. Lots to choose from and pick. I’m thankful…
S.O.S.Time to Slow Down
My dear Tulsa friend often sends me emails that include hilarious photos, statements, and stories that give me comedic relief. I loved this one from a few days ago:S.O.S.“An Airbus 380 is on its way across the Atlantic. It flies consistently at 800 km/h at 30,000 feet, when suddenly a Eurofighter with Tempo Mach 2…
Oh, the Beautiful Things We Miss
Often I blog about making moments count. There’s a Latin phrase for it: Carpe Momentum which means “Seize the Moment”. I’m thrilled to be alive HERE on planet earth today in this generation. Even though I live in a 60+ community, I meander away from those who think “old”. I love hanging with those who…
The Pursuit of God
Pursue: to follow, run after, chase someone or something to catch them.I have five grandsons; one is married and the remaining four have darling girlfriends. Being a romantic at heart, I thoroughly enjoy watching these guys pursue these girls. I loved the sweet Christmas gifts they each carefully chose for their “girl”. And I loved…
Worship = Warning = Rewards
On Sunday, my blog was based on the Wise Men’s words “We have come to worship Him.” I couldn’t resist – one more blog about the Wise Men, their visit to the Holy Family and “worship”. The final line of the scriptures of that story describes what happened, AFTER they worshipped the newborn King. “Then,…
Prepositional Phrase or Powerful Truth
I remember learning prepositional phrases in grade school. A preposition is a word such as: in, to, on, and with are usually used in front of nouns or pronouns and they show the relationship with words in a sentence. I became a technical editor at an Electric Cooperative years ago where I was the General…
Bringing our Gifts of Worship
I love that my children, Staci and Larry, named their 60+ acres ranch, Epiphany Ranch. Epiphany was the name of my husband’s missions and message ministry for many years. They are carrying on the family legacy in action and my son, Ryan, carries on as President of the ministry corporation. It does this wife and…
The King is Coming
Please forgive my insatiable appetite for remembering the past and applying it to a blog. I’m sure it helps my memory faculties stay intact when I can pull out an old, true story that bears repeating. Just keeping those stories alive and well! It’s “the king’s” birthday today! Note: the lowercase king not the uppercase…
My Sin Found Me Out
As the saga played out, I was writing this blog in my head and taking photos to bear witness to my conundrum. I saw the swirling red lights and heard the screeching siren behind me. No thought of concern because I was staying within the speed limit and making good time to Austin after a…
