Back to Tornado Alley
Dark clouds looming. Tornado warnings. Hail warnings. Heavy rains warnings. News reporters were urging their listeners to move away from windows. They urged those in the path of the storm, to take cover. That was Tuesday night in Tulsa. It felt like home where we lived for over 40 years. All was well when the…
It’s a Matter of Perspective
When my grandchildren, Payton and Alexia, were in Speech and Debate in high school, I judged other students at their regional, state and national competitions. My two grands became excellent debaters and speech presenters. Today, they are both trainers in high levels of business and ministry. Moms and Dads, I can’t begin to encourage you…
The Gospel Express
I’m still here in Tulsa with Karen and George and my mother-in-law (99-1/2 years old). I have had a change of pace to my daily routines when at home in Austin, except for my blogging which I fit into my schedule no matter where I am or what I’m doing. The time here is spent…
April Showers Bring May Flowers
And life’s clouds, storms and showers can bring many blessings. This blog was inspired by the opportunity to be in Tulsa for several days.

Peace is my Governor
Yesterday, I spoke about the “default settings” in electronics. We also have default settings and the ideal ones are having gratitude and the Fruit of the Spirit. A couple of days ago, I walked into a room and a situation that caused me to do an about-face. I was about to react negatively, but instead…
What’s Your Default Setting?
I was getting a little cranky when my computer’s web browser kept defaulting to Yahoo when it’s set for Google. Seems there was a glitch and after contacting McAfee (my antivirus protector), I found out how to correct it. I’m sure we’ve all had to deal with “default settings” on some of our electronics. For…
Our Promise-Keeping Father
Saturday night I made it to church in time to kneel and pray for a few minutes before the service began. I remembered an old Dottie Rambo song as I prayed: “I didn’t come here to ask You for anything.I just came to talk with you Lord.You’ve answered a million prayers or more,That I forgot…
