The Therapy of Music
I was going through my mail, tossing most of it, but then the Life’s Vintage Newsmagazine caught my attention. I thumbed through it to see if anything merited reading. One article did. It was entitled “Music Therapy: Let the Rhythm Move You”, by Dee Duren, Managing Editor. If it’s about music, then I’m in! I…
Happy First Day of Fall – September 22nd
Hooray! My favorite season begins today. I just wish Mother Nature would keep up with the date, because it’s still in the upper 90s here in Austin. Word has it that we’ll get to three digits again in a few days! They call it “global warming”! Whoohoo! I know the heat waves will subside before…
Redemption Time
A blast from the past! Most of you youngsters won’t remember S&H Green Stamps, but my peers will. We remember when would receive them at check-out counters of supermarkets, department stores and gasoline stations as rewards for shopping in their store. I well remember collecting as many books of 1200 stamps as possible. That would…
LORD, Let Me Let YOU Lead Me!
I was typing yet another blog, when I looked at this mug that sits on my desk. It’s used as a pen and pencil holder. It’s in that spot all the time, but this morning, I saw it and received the message loud and clear. Once again, God was reminding me to let Him lead…
Corpus Christi, TX
I write this blog today while in Corpus Christi, celebrating Alexia’s birthday. We’ve had a grand time. Intermixed with the wonderful family times, I have been drawn to this old city’s name, Corpus Christi. It has stood out to me in a most reverent way. I can’t help but believe that God put this pull…
What Do You Have as Reminders?
So I have several different and beloved crosses that my husband gave me. I wear them often – especially the one that was his. They are my “bumper stickers”. I want to be known as a Christian. Seeing the cross, just might cause someone to ask me to pray with them about something. Those crosses…
My Two “Same-Day” Blessings
One of my favorite days of the year is today: September 16th! That’s because God blessed this world, and me, with my two girls on this date. I like to think my angels got together and created two dreams-come-true and said “Ta-Da”! I’m celebrating these two precious gifts to me. It was actually September 15th,…
Living Our Best Lives
My routines are usually without spot or wrinkle. But this morning, it starts with a dropped box of Cheerios scattered all over the floor. I go to my car and a tire is at only 25 inflation pressure. I’m on the phone with a friend and my big Yeti mug turns over and is going…
The End is NOT the End
…..at least for those of us who believe in the hereafter – so much so, that we have no fear because a “See ‘ya later!” here is literally…..just a few short days, months or years and we will meet our loved ones face-to-face. And even better than that…..we will meet our Lord face-to-face! I think…
First in His Books
I’ve talked about me not being the “cool” girl growing up. I didn’t play sports, wasn’t on the drill team, didn’t even consider trying out for cheerleading because it seemed I had two left feet. I watched a show last Spring called “Beyond the Edge” (sort of like “Survivor”) and celebrities were the “castaways”. Each…
