Love Keeps on Giving and Forgiving
The day after Valentine’s Day, I took down the photo of my husband and I and the plaque that read: “A True Love Story Never Ends” from my entry shelf. But, since it’s still the “love month”, I replaced it with the one seen here. This plaque reads: “You are so loved”. I hope it’s…
Best & Worst of Times
Have you had some BEST of times? I sure have! I know the times of great peace, without worries or concerns, the “Good Ship Lollipop” kinds-of-days. And I have had some WORST of times. Heartbreak, disappointments, family upheavals, sickness and disease, broken relationships, financial disasters and “the dog biting, the bee stinging and feeling sad…
The Beginning – The Middle – The Victory
It’s a process. You and I both know the drill. The beginning when the crisis initially occurs, and the deliberations ensue on how best to make it through. Then there’s the middle when we pray, hope, and stand strong – doing our best to do what we can to make it through. Then there’s the…
Still Loving in the Love Month?
In this social media era, there’s a lot of pressure on couples to pull out all the stops when “the question” is about to be popped — from airplanes with tails that read: “Marry Me, Olivia” to a throng of people singing and dancing in the street to help the proposer ask the big question.…
Power-Up, Brain!
My precious mom would say to her doctor “Doc, some mornings I just don’t want to get out of bed!” He replied: “The day you decide to do that, expect to be bedridden very soon!” In essence, he was saying: “If you don’t use it – you’ll lose it!” I’m sure Mom’s doctor’s words were…
The Abundant Life – How Sweet it is!
I’ve taken to the road again. My cross country journeys slowed down when I moved to Austin amidst the pandemic. So, I was ready for this little 3-days of “touch and go” opportunities! First, I made my way to Dallas for a belated Valentine’s celebration with my North Texas crew — Larry, Staci, Payton and…
Is the Thing the Thing?
I saw this photo of an iceberg and it reminded me of the Alaskan Cruise we took. While our ship was docked in Juneau, we took the tour to the Mendenhall Glacier. This amazing glacier is 12 miles long, a half-mile wide and 300 to 1,800 feet deep. An iceberg is what breaks off from…
Big Audacious Faith AND Big Audacious Living
AUDACIOUS — showing a willingness to take surprisingly bold risks; daring, fearless, brave, courageous, valiant, venturesome I was immensely inspired when I heard brilliant author and speaker, Erwin McManus, sharing his miracle story. He was dying from cancer, but is now cancer-free and living AUDACIOUSLY. Erwin went in for a simple “insurance exam” for a…
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…
Appointment or Disappointment
Sunday night’s Super Bowl 2022 was reason for our community to pack out our theater room and bring all kinds of goodies to munch on. Most of us cheered for the underdogs, the Bengals, but none of us lost any sleep because they lost. In the end, the Bengals had DISAPPOINTMENT written on their faces…
