I’m Still Here!
Whoo-hoo! It’s my birthday. This is the day the Lord made ME, and I’m so grateful He did. That may sound self-gratifying, but I’m following scripture that says: “You shall love the Lord your God, with all your heart, with all your soul and all your mind, and you shall love your neighbor as YOU…
Bah Humbug!
Yesterday, many members of our Lamplighters Bible Fellowship group rode in a chartered coach bus to Georgetown, TX – first stopping for a delicious meal at Tony & Luigi’s Italian Restaurant. Then to the Palace Playhouse Stage where we enjoyed, “A Christmas Carol” performed by tremendously talented actors and actresses. The play recounts the story…
The Sunflowers are Abundant
The family that captures memories together……STAYS TOGETHER…. in love, in support, in encouragement, and in MEMORIES! We missed our two granddaughters: Adeline, Carl’s granddaughter who is a cheerleader at Westlake High School in Austin and couldn’t miss “Senior” night at the football game. And my Alexia, who is attending ministry school in Nashville. But, sooner…
These are the Moments
It isn’t the money in my wallet or the car I drive or home I live in. It isn’t the TV show that makes me laugh or the movie I see that inspires me. Nothing can compare with the priceless gratitude moments that represent my favorite things. As I was writing this blog after just…

There’s Nothing That Says LOVE Like Chocolate
I have a confession to make. I LOVE chocolate so much so, that I should be a member of Chocoholics Anonymous! So of course, I chose the chocolate cake slice instead of the white cake slice that was lovingly distributed to our community in honor of Valentine’s Day. This love celebration started with a precious…
Hump Day or Holy Day?
When I was in the workplace on Wednesdays, we’d often hear someone say: “Yay! It’s hump day!” That’s because Wednesday is smack dab in the middle of a work week and the weekend is in sight! Whoohoo! But, imagine the countdown to the weekend that Jesus was thinking about. Wednesday meant one day closer to…
A Big Thumbs Up – All is Well!
That fiasco last week of trying to find a replacement for my daughter’s peace sign hand that I accidentally broke, led me to this “thumbs-up hand”. Of course, I had to buy it for sweet memories’ sake. In this photo, my husband was talking to our children shortly after surgery and giving them the “All…
