Moving on Up
“Moving on Up” was the theme song for the hilarious TV series, “The Jefferson’s”. It featured a family who met up with prosperity and ended up living the HIGH life in a swanky “deee-luxe apartment in the sky…..” “Moving on up” for me means I’m moving on up in age. Yikes!! Where did the years…
Our Longevity has a Purpose
I am still in the afterglow of all those candles on my birthday cake. Although I am genetically predisposed to living deep into my 90s (the women in my family are die-hards), I can unequivocally say that for me, longevity is not a goal to which I aspire. I don’t want to live long as…
Being the Spice of Life
I just can’t complain about anything, but I sure could if I let myself go there. But I can’t complain at all, especially when I see others with tremendous physical issues, heartbreak issues, homeless issues, and so many other issues. I was touched by Shane Claiborne’s book, “The Irresistible Revolution”, subtitled “Living as an Ordinary…
My Bucket List is Complete …. or is it?
When I went to Israel a few years ago, my Bucket List was complete. Sure I’ll take on more adventures, but I don’t have to. I am good to GO! No longer have a need for a bucket! According to the 2007 movie “The Bucket List” where Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson (both of whose…
Was the Innkeeper Really So Unwelcoming?
I’ve been “gifting” in my blogs the last few days AND gifting is what I’m doing at my dining room table. No food allowed on that table right now because it’s loaded with wrapping paper, ribbon, scissors, tape, gift cards and gift items to wrap. I’m getting my Christmas gift list checked off, one-by-one. Speaking…
Our Rich Family History
My friend posted this beautiful photo on her timeline a few days ago. She was in Pocahontas, Illinois. I commented: “I have family roots that go back to John Rolfe and Pocahontas. They were our 10th generation grandparents. Yay! I’m multi-racial! There’s a tiny percentage of Native American in me! And I thought I had…
What Does Your List Look Like?
No doubt, my list is very different from yours. For my Frisco grandson and granddaughter, their list probably includes: ~ Pack for Guatemala missions trip (they leave Monday for 7 days with 55 other students); ~ Buy items needed for the trip; ~ Get household chores completed; ~ Get some extra zzz’s before leaving, because…
I Walked Today Where Jesus Walked and Felt His Presence There
I was up at 4:30 am to watch the sun rise over the Sea of Galilee. It didn’t disappoint. When the breakfast buffet opened, I got my plate and took it outside to hover in God’s presence. I shut my eyes to think about Jesus calming the winds & waves & walking on the waters.…
