Seeing Sideways
This blog was inspired from an email I received from someone who enjoys turning pictures sideways and seeing what new picture they can see in it. Honestly, I can’t ever say that I intentionally looked sideways at a picture, but it didn’t take me two seconds to see the church looking like a rocket in…
Enough Already
I write this blog today with dear friends on my heart. One is still in the hospital after months, waiting for a heart transplant. I have a nephew and a cousin who are dealing with the potential loss of their eyesight. And others who are facing major financial issues from the loss of work during…
Bentley Proves Relationships Matter
You can see from these photos that I am on grand-dog duty. One of the perks of grandparenting is they come with pets. I am dog-sitting sweet, 12-year-old Bentley. His eyesight is waning, but he sure has a good smeller and hearer. I was warned by my kids that I shouldn’t let him get near…
The Secret Sauce
I missed sharing about the Holy Trinity on Sunday — the day of focus toward gratitude to God for giving us the “Three-in-One”. It boggles my finite mind to consider it. I’ll speak to this wonder after I tell you about another “holy trinity” that I found out about when a guest chef came to…
Happy Memorial and Gratitude Day!
I stepped on the grounds of St. Vincent de Paul Church Saturday night and this sight welcomed me. I had to snap the photo. Those flags are a reminder of the freedoms and liberties that our brave servicemen and women gave their lives for and continue to remind us of those serving today. And, they…
This is OUR Season
I drove by this graduation-decorated car at McDonald’s yesterday. I turned around to take the photo of it as I knew a blog would be forthcoming! What a way to start a graduation day — having a hearty meal at McDonald’s! I can only imagine what else this day would hold for their student. My…
Measuring Up
Bigger, better, best. That seems to be our mindset. It was ours when we wanted a car that could hold seven people. I drove that sweet ride for nearly 11 years. My mindset changed. Smaller suddenly became best when I was looking for a new car. Is it just me or does it seem parking…
Fearless because Dad can be Trusted
I drove up to my children’s RV at the KOA camp in Rusk and there was a little boy, maybe two years old, kicking the thunder out of a plastic ball to his mom. She would kick it back to him and, unafraid, he’d kick it back again. I called out: “Are you going to…
Coming Home to My Guy
I’ve been in East Texas for the last several days and what a special time we’ve had with my family — my own sweet Wallace four and precious men and women who came out to dedicate the beautiful property that will be known for bringing healing and help to many. After those who came here…
The Big 2-1 is Here!
Happy Birthday to my one-of-kind, amazing, hilarious, talented, quick-witted and so loved grandson, Payton Wallace! The BIG 2-1 at last! These 21 years have been full of wonder, adventure, and watching how quickly our sweet boy grew up and loved life so passionately. In the early years, we found out that he loved the great…
