The Mountain and the Cross
My son kept saying “Mom, I’ve got to take you up the mountain to see the cross! It’s so beautiful up there!” The next day, we were up early (5:30 am) to take in the early morning sunrise! Indeed, the sun rose in all its glory, and the timing was perfect. It was well worth…
Tested -Tried – Proven – Rewarded
Back in 2012, my son and his team created and launched a technology company. I was one of the founding members and thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to be a part of something so innovative. Before the technology was brought to life, there were months of testing the product. Then when we had the product in…
God Bless You!
I remember the time when I was at church and that “gotta’ sneeze” hit. I tried to hold it back, but couldn’t — “ah-choo!” The man behind me whispered “Bless you!” Ten seconds later, “ah-choo” came again. This time it was the woman beside me who said, “God bless you”! As embarrassing as it was,…
Designed for Connection
I gave my youngest grandson a Lego Millenium Star Wars set with hundreds of pieces in it for his birthday. My mind just about went “tilt” when I saw how complex it would be to put those pieces together to make sense of that photo on the box. But the next time I went to…
The Power of Truth
We are very familiar with the phrase “the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help me God” and what it implies. The message is that what is said in a court of law is the truth and even more so before our Holy God. If we don’t tell the truth, we…
A New Home for Elvis’ Jet
I’m sure this sounds like a frivolous start to today’s blog. Bear with me. I’m going somewhere! It is no secret that I was an Elvis Presley fan. I took in every newsworthy story about him. I junkied on his movies and songs. He was my teenage heart throb. I’ll never forget the day I…
Spring has Sprung
Drum roll please…….today, March 20th, is officially the first day of Spring, And, yesterday, Sunday, I came out — outside, that is. It was a glorious, sun-shiny day. Just knowing that today is the first day of Spring made me want to go out and about. Yesterday was the last day of Austin’s SXSW –…
I’m Snuggling into my Comforter
A comforter is a thick bed covering that is filled with a soft light material. A comforter is also someone who helps us feel less worried, upset, or frightened. I do a lot of traveling and that means sleeping in beds that don’t compare to MY bed at home. When I get home to my…
In God We Trust
Psalm 91 has been my go to: 911 number for years. Get it? Psalm 91:1 “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” It is my 911 call for daily protection for my loved ones and myself. The whole chapter is about “In God…
Happy St. Patrick’s Day
Do you have your “green” on? After all, it’s St. Patrick’s Day and who wants to get pinched? Actually, I’ve been celebrating this day since March 1st when I changed out my Valentine’s door shelf décor to St. Patrick’s Day décor. There’s a “Happy St. Patrick’s Day sign”, a small statute of St. Patrick and…
