The Name Game
How are you at remembering names? I’ll reveal my “issue”. Remembering names hasn’t been one of my positive assets. My granddaughter was with me at an event. I asked her to “work with me on introductions”. I said, “If I remember their name, I’ll simply say their name and introduce you, but if I don’t,…
Intimacy “In-To-Me-See”
The last two days I’ve been blogging about “coming clean” in our lives, even to the point of having a heavenly spotlight that reveals the crud inside us. AND, that is opening up the “cover-ups”! That is called intimacy — in-to-me-see! So how can anyone “see into” us with our dreams, hopes and desires unless…
Turn on the Spotlights
I think I get my frugal and prudent spending habits from parents who were products of the Great Depression when every penny counted. My Mom would sing out “Shut off the lights! Turn up the air conditioner!” And, in the winter, “Turn down the heat and put on a sweater!” I see her in me.…
Lent Means Course Correction
As a Private Pilot, I have extra help with the notion of “I believe I can fly”. We had a single engine Cessna 182 – a sweet ride. We logged many hours flying across this great country. Though I haven’t flown in a while, I remember some crucially important flight requirements that ensured landing where,…
Born with an Identity
If you were a fan of the “Bourne Identity” action spy thriller movies, you’ll remember that Jason Bourne (played by Matt Damon), was a man suffering from extreme memory loss and spent his life trying to figure out who he was. He didn’t know his name or identity. Jason Bourne was the opposite of Jesus.…
Happy Presidents’ Day
I researched and found this day began as a way of celebrating President George Washington’s Birthday. Now this federal holiday honors all U.S. presidents on this day. Do we acknowledge, with gratitude, what our presidents sacrificed and did for us? Why would anyone, including our current president, desire this position? What is it about the…
Love is an Action Word
My son is a speed reader. He must be. With his businesses and on the board of several companies, he must read and review tons of documents and correspondence. If he wasn’t a speed reader, he’d be bogged down with more paperwork than he could handle. I’ve become a speed reader, too! And there lies…
The Chapters of My Love Story
The first chapter of my love story began when I was a little girl seeing the adoring love that my mom and dad had for each other. I witnessed their sweet affection for each other. In fact, my dad couldn’t keep his hands off my mom. “Roscoe, QUIT!” She would cry out when he was…
Who is YOUR Coach?
Congrats to the Kansas City Chiefs on their Super Bowl win! And, “maybe next year” are the words we say about “our” teams. I still have everlasting hope for my Cowboys! I know little about what it takes to win a championship, but I like to think that those who honor God and appreciate His…
Kisses — Sweeter than Wine — Happy Valentine’s Day!
“Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth — for your love is more delightful than wine.” How’s that for a Valentine’s Day opener? Sounds like something out of a romance novel, doesn’t it? It is way more. It is straight from God’s Holy Word, the Song of Solomon 1:2. God intended us…
