Running MY Race
We love attending our church’s Wednesday night’s “Family Night”. We enjoy a delicious meal then move to one of our many choices of Bible Studies – from young to old. I particularly enjoy our Women’s Bible Study. This blog is spawned from last week’s start of this new year’s study. It is based on Hebrews…
Celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King’s Legacy
I’m old enough to remember when Dr. King was assassinated on April 4, 1968 – 56 years ago. That date gives me pause. It did then when I was holding my one-year-old baby boy in my arms and hearing the horrendous news of the assassination of this passionate, honorable man. Martin Luther endeavored to make…
The Pursuit of God
That’s my blog title as well as my greatest desire — to be in pursuit of God. That means I purpose to follow, run after, chase Him, and even catch Him and His unchanging, loving, caring and peace-filled ways. A. W. Tozer’s “The Pursuit of God” is a classic Christian devotional book written in 1948.…
I Like to be Right. Who doesn’t? Right?
But I’d also like to think I’m able to admit when I’m wrong. It’s simple to admit the little mistakes, apologize and ask forgiveness. Maybe I accidentally left my phone at home and had to turn around and go back home to get it – making me late for my volunteer job at the family…
A Dose of Laughter Medicine
I am not having to order laughter medicine any longer because I married a man who IS my laughter medicine every day. Thanks, God! I needed that! We all need an unlimited supply of laughter medicine. In fact, you might need a hearty dose right now! We all need it — especially because the political…
Filling in the Blanks
In order to make plans for out-of-town trips this year, we spent quality time placing our activities, appointments, and events on our calendars – Carl, in his Day Timer, and me in my iPhone. We are well underway with filling in the blanks on our 2024 calendars. We must accomplish this task because we have…
In This Very Room
Last Monday, January 8th, in this very room pictured here, fifty members of our team that is made up of paid and volunteer staff enjoyed our Team Appreciation Luncheon at Maggiano’s Restaurant in Austin. OUR TEAM is comprised of devoted, relentless, and selfless individuals who believe it is “more blessed to give than receive”. However,…
Amazing Goldies! This is for YOU!
The 50th anniversary is famously known as the golden wedding anniversary, with gold being both the milestone’s associated color and the gift material. So, it’s safe to say that even when we are turning “50” and beyond, we are “golden”! Fifty is just a number and I am saying: “It’s time to shake off restricting…
I had an Epiphany at the Festival
Yesterday, I blogged about Epiphany AND we celebrated it in Fort Worth. It was the 12th and final day of Christmas, as well as the day that the Magi offered their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh to the Christ Child in the Holy Family’s home. I certainly had an “epiphany” (that’s an ah-ha moment…
On the 12th Day of Christmas….Epiphany
“On the 12th day of Christmas my true love gave to me…….” Let’s talk about those 12 days of Christmas. The true Christmas season starts on Christmas Day, the 25th. And it marks the official start of the 12 days of Christmas, and that relentlessly stick-in-your-head Christmas carol. But there’s so much more than the…
