Still Standing – No Matter What
It was just a silly moment in church — a restless little boy, a worn-out mama, and a battle of wills that felt familiar to every parent in the room. He kept bouncing up and down on the pew, clearly auditioning for the Olympic trampoline team. After four stern warnings and the look, mama finally…
Thunder Up…..and Rise Up
This Oklahoma gal (for over 40 years) had her pom-poms ready Sunday night as the Oklahoma City Thunder faced off against the Indiana Pacers. Oh, the drama and the ups and downs of basketball! One minute we were up, the next minute they were. But in the end? Thunder brought it home — 103 to…
From Family Reunion to Kingdom Calling
The Noble Reunion of 2025 is in the books! The hugs were tight, the “I love you’s” were plentiful, and the memories? We’re already getting excited about next year’s reunion in Carlsbad, California! Sure, it was a bit of a workout (my feet will testify!), but it was a holy kind of exhaustion — the…
Family Homecoming — Fort Worth Style
It’s not your average homecoming. There’s no prom queen, no football game, and no awkward slow dances — but this reunion is what real homecoming is all about. Yesterday, the Fort Worth hotel lobby transformed into a full-blown festival of hugs, squeals, and toddlers zipping between suitcases. You could practically hear the theme music playing…
On the Road Again… and Grateful for the Ride!
We’re packed to the brim — literally and emotionally — as Carl and I hit the road to Fort Worth, Texas, for the annual Noble Family Reunion. The trunk? Loaded with over 75 Silent Auction items. My heart? Loaded with anticipation, love, and just a smidge of “please Lord, let this all come together.” This…
Normal? No Thank You!
Normal these days looks like road rage on the freeway, worry as a hobby, and incessant scrolling like it’s a spiritual gift. It’s snapping at waiters, grumbling about politics, and living exhausted, anxious, and perpetually offended. But Jesus didn’t come to make us normal. He came to make us new. In Matthew 5, He throws…
Crown Up! Living our Best Life as Royalty
Are we living up to OUR royal potential? Look at Princess Kate — graceful, beloved, and practically glowing in every photo. I’m not sure how or why, but reels and photos of her keep showing up on my phone. Coincidence? I think not. Honestly? I don’t mind one bit. She’s poised, polished, and wearing outfits…
Go Tell It on This Mountain
And our saga continues — from the majestic, soul-stirring heights of Crested Butte, Colorado. Just when I thought we’d soaked in all the beauty we could, yesterday surprised us again. Turns out it was the official opening of the summer ski lift season! Carl and I jumped at the chance (well — stepped carefully at…
Happy Father’s Day – The Kids are Watching so Please — Step it Up!
Yes! It’s Father’s Day — for all remarkable, loving, guiding, mentoring and cheering dads and men who show up as role models for those in your sphere of influence. That includes my dear Carl and our sons, Ryan Wuerch, Larry Wallace and Terrell Gates! We’re sure to hear a Father’s Dad message at our churches…
God of the Mountains, Maker of Majesty
Crested Butte, Colorado. Just the name fills the soul with fresh air and awe. This tucked-away treasure isn’t like the bustling ski resorts that make headlines. It’s quieter. Holier, even. Not easy to get to, but maybe that’s what makes it so special — it’s still raw with God’s fingerprints. Carl and I are here…
