When Judging Makes a Difference
My go-to grocery store was out of watermelons when I shopped. But not yesterday. They were fully stocked. I brought one home, cut myself a slice and, YES – sweet, juicy, and seedless. Yum! Watermelon is my favorite summer fruit. It’s amusing to watch people thumping on watermelons trying to find the best one. I…
Running our OWN Race
My son asked me: “Is that an Oura ring you’re wearing?” I replied that it was. He said he saw his friend wearing one and wondered if it worked. Intentionally, I run/walk/exercise as much as I can, when I can. But, there are days when “I’m a squatter!” I just sit as I write blogs,…
Dare to be Bold
Yesterday, my blog was about the willingness to get out of the boat and walk on water. Well, not really a boat, unless God told us to (like Peter). I meant, stepping out of our intimidation and comfort zones and “I can’t” zones. Today, I’m taking it a step further! When my sweetheart passed on,…
I’m NOT a Boat Squatter
So, you know the story. The winds and waves are in an uproar and the disciples are totally freaked out. They think their lives are about to be taken when here comes Jesus walking on the water. He calls Peter to come to Him. Without any hesitancy, Peter is audacious enough to obey the voice…
Life is a Balancing Act
Back to school for a couple of weeks now, most parents have their rhythm back while balancing all the activities of life. I’m back at it, too, picking up my youngest. I love it! Oh, the joy of hearing about his day. But I remember those days as a mom and having to juggle so…
We Have a Cheering Section
We Have a Cheering SectionI wanted to be on the pep squad at South Oak Cliff High School in Dallas, but my home life with a very sick daddy didn’t warrant it. But I guarantee you I am my own pep squad when one of my grands are playing in a sport or some other…
God’s Timing is Everything
Yes, it is! I can’t begin to list off the number of times we’ve been at the right place at the right time, and at the wrong place at the wrong time. When in the right place, it seemed God had us all wrapped up, tied up in Him and His marvelous ways. At the…
I Did It!
I made it through to Day #1 of another year! How can I say thanks? Let me let Andrae Crouch’s song lyrics help me: “How can I say thanks for all the things God has done for me? Things so undeserved that He gave to prove His love for me. The voices of a million…
She’s Still Here So She’s Not Done
It’s my birth-day! I’m one year older! One thing’s for sure, I don’t plan on grumbling or complaining about it. I’m grateful that I woke up this morning! That’s a great start to my day! I’m grateful I could dress myself, feed myself, walk by myself, hear, speak, and see! Those are the bonuses of…
Just Thought I’d Give You a Heads Up!
Tomorrow is my birthday. Not telling you that because I want your praise or presents. The dreams I had in my teens have come to pass. I don’t have to go to school or work. I get an allowance every month. I have my own pad. I don’t have a curfew. I have a driver’s…
