Out of the Mouths of Babes
I love seeing my young mama friends proudly show off their babies in milestone photos – at two weeks, one month, two months, etc. Every picture radiates love, joy, and a whole lot of sleepless nights. But despite the exhaustion, they dote on those little ones with unwavering devotion — as they should. These precious…
DOGE, Love, and a Man on a Mission
There are some words you never expect to hear in marriage. “DOGE” was one of them — until I sent my sweetheart, Carl, a text message that included the new word. “Sweetheart!! I never thought DOGE would affect me so personally. I’m giving you until midnight to email me the five (5) things you did…
If God Said It – We Can Count on It
I do my best to write a blog or two each day. But, my words don’t hold a candle to God’s. His words have divine power. They don’t just inform; they transform. When He speaks, things happen. Creation itself was birthed from the sound of His voice. Our God is faithful. If He promised it,…
Forward…March
Welcome, March! Time is literally MARCH-ing forward, and so are we! An army platoon marches forward, never backward. Whether soldiers are stationed at their home base, transitioning between posts, or engaged in battle, they are always on assignment –pressing onward until their mission is complete. For curiosity’s sake, I looked up how many active U.S.…
❤️❤️Love is the Answer to EVERYTHING❤️❤️
News Flash! This is the last day of February, the month of LOVE. But let’s be clear — love doesn’t have an expiration date. We don’t pack it away like Christmas decorations, only to bring it out next year. Love is our anthem. Love is our mission. Love is our every-single-day lifestyle. So why have…
Slow Down to Show Love
As most know, we live in a 60+ Active Adult Community. That’s the way it’s advertised. And truthfully, most of us are active — playing pickleball, ping pong, Mahjong, working out in the fitness room, going for long walks around our community and even around the Texas Children’s Hospital next door. Yet sometimes we’re so…
Tuned into God’s Frequency Lately?
I know some folks raise an eyebrow when we say, “God said” or “God spoke to me,” but truth be told, our Creator is always sending messages — even if they’re not delivered via a dramatic thunderclap from above. In my daily walk, His voice is more like a gentle whisper than an overwhelming shout.…
L-O-V-E means Let Our Voices Encourage
I love encouraging women about their place in God’s great scheme of things. The Bible speaks of older women training the younger women – and that’s not only in age but in spirit. I’m here, Girls, to show you – you do survive!!! How’s that for encouragement to your world today? I love our Wednesday…
Your Royal Highness, Straighten Your Crown!
Good morning to my dear royal highnesses! In case you’re thinking: “That’s not me!” Let me help you tweak your thinking. I enjoy watching the gracious elegance of Catherine, Princess of Wales aka Princess Kate. Just as crowds are drawn to her warmth and authenticity, my blog today is to remind us of our royal…
Just the Way You Are
I kid you not, I was singing Bruno Mars’ song: “You’re so amazing — just the way you are!” Almost simultaneously, I opened up Max Lucado’s devotional book, “Grace for the Moment”. And would you believe it? The title of that day’s devotion was “Just the Way You Are”! Now, if that’s not a divine…
