Running our Races with Purpose
It’s been almost ten years since our eleven children and grands along with about twenty others ran or walked with us in Tulsa’s Route 66 Marathon to honor my husband who had graduated to heaven the Tuesday before. That Sunday morning we wore our red “Run for Ron” t-shirts. It had all been planned before…
Can’t You Feel It? The Feeling is Everywhere!
Those are some of the words to David Foster’s theme song of the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Alberta. We were there and we felt it from our vantage point at the Opening and Closing Ceremonies where our daughter was a member of the Coca Cola World Chorus. What a time we all had! Actually…
A Big Thumbs Up – All is Well!
That fiasco last week of trying to find a replacement for my daughter’s peace sign hand that I accidentally broke, led me to this “thumbs-up hand”. Of course, I had to buy it for sweet memories’ sake. In this photo, my husband was talking to our children shortly after surgery and giving them the “All…
Creators! Let’s Create!
I went to church with my grandsons on Sunday. This was the first time the church was fully opened since the pandemic began. Opened, with the exception of limited seating that was maxed out and distanced. What amused me the most was when we walked up to the front doors, tables were set up outside…
You are Welcome at my House!
I’m going to be a bit feisty in today’s blog. I can, because this Facebook/Blog space is my house, so to speak. I welcome you to stop by and check out what’s going on and to see what God’s download is for us. I have some “house” rules that include kindness, encouraging each other and…
In it for the Long Hull aka Long Haul
While Ryan and Shawntel have been away a few days, I’ve stayed here with their boys. I loved big brother, Bear, his girlfriend, Hannah, and oldest brother, Braden, and his wife, Ruth, hanging out with us. My heart has been filled with love. Four boys in this Wuerch family here in Austin – so I…
Is this the Moment for Which We Were Created?
I almost bought this metal wall hanging, shown here, because it spoke to me. I took a photo instead. It spoke to me because I remember at the birth of my children – I knew I was created to bring them into this world. It spoke to me because there have been times when I…
Lord, Please Give Me PEACE about this PEACE Sign
While being my kids’ dogs’ sitter, I’ve enjoyed the inspirations at their home for my blogs. After I blogged a few days ago about the peace-sign hand on my daughter’s wall where she does her video shows, of all things, when going to look at one of the books under it, I knocked the hand…
Rain, Rain! Don’t Go Away – You are Welcome in this Day
Oh, the wonderful rain that has come to us in Frisco. Two days in a row means the blistering heat has subsided and I don’t have to water plants and grass. My two fur-pals haven’t been too crazy about it – they don’t like playing or walking in the rain. I’ve learned not to complain…
This Painting is Worth the Search
I spotted this painting in Larry’s office. It’s considered a treasure to he and Staci because Payton, their son, painted it for them years ago. In terms of value in dollars and cents, it might not have a high sticker price at the At Home store. But in terms of value in sentiment – priceless.…
