Listening for His Voice Matters
My Canadian cousin was here in Austin last week so I missed seeing him because Carl and I were on our honeymoon. We made it home late Sunday night and early Monday morning we were both headed to the election polls where we serve in this Early Voting election process. So, we never could connect…
Sacred Moments at the Well
Every morning, I’m up and at ‘em by 4:30 am. It’s a must to look over the text of my blog one more time before I hit the “post” button. I’m like clock-work with my daily deliveries – on FB, my Google blogger page and MyPeaceZone.com. I always feel like I’m “reporting for duty” each…
It’s a True Fairy-Tale Story – NOT!
Oh that life was a bed of roses and if we’re in Mexico – oh that life was a gorgeous Mexican sunflower or a Bird of Paradise flower, but I assure you, this ISN’T Paradise! This morning we’re saying, “Hasta luego” (See you later) to this beautiful place where we have had plenty to do,…
Playing with Fire
Still on our honeymoon in beautiful Puerto Vallarta, we are taking it all in! On this night we saw brave people playing with fire. It was a fire show on the beach just after sunset — a sight to behold. How do they keep themselves from being burned? Yikes! U I amuse myself as God…
With All My Heart
In these photos you will see all employees and workers throughout Vidanta in Puerto Vallarta — maids, waiters, concierges, ride arrangers, etc. — place their hand on their heart as we approach them. Right from our first day here, we noticed this gesture. It impressed me so much that I am blogging about it today.…
So Privileged
My heart goes out to so many in this world who have lost their homes, their security, their families, and their peace. It makes me even more grateful to live in America where we are so privileged while in other areas of the world, so many are under-privileged. Lord, please come to their aid. Lord,…
Honey in the Rock
In yesterday’s blog, I spoke about the natural craving we should have for God’s Word – like a baby craves his mama’s milk. His mama’s milk gives him the sustenance and nutrition he needs for life. How beautiful — God’s built-in mechanism for satisfying hunger. And as we crave God’s Word, we receive the sustenance…
Got Milk?
Remember the “Got Milk?” commercials where a well-known celebrity was proud to admit they drank milk by revealing their milk moustache? The commercial encouraged milk consumption and the campaign was credited for upping milk sales by highlighting the benefits of milk. As we flew to Puerto Vallarta yesterday, this baby was just across the aisle…
Are You Contented?
I’d like you to believe that “I have learned, in whatsoever state I am in, to be content.” (Philippians 4:11) That means we are satisfied with the life or situation we are in. But those are Paul the Apostle’s words – not mine. I’ll admit I can find myself less than contented. Today my sweetheart…
Finding Help in the Horrible
I have a dear friend whose 38-year-old son died suddenly a couple of weeks ago. Adequate words to give my friend seemed weak and unsubstantial. This Israel-Hamas War is incredibly awful. The loss of so many lives, so many hurting people, so much tragedy. Oh, that we had words that could help. As we grasp…
