Our Fall & Winter Wardrobe Reveal
I was proud to say that I had two walk-in closets at my place. Yesiree! This gal needs two closets – one for my Spring/Summer wardrobe and one for my Fall/Winter clothes. Oh, but enters a godly and dear man into my world and I lose one of those closets. Now, the off-season clothes live…
Standing on our Tiptoes
I have traveled to many places, experienced many seasons, and endured many situations. My eyes have witnessed many heartbreaking, hurting, hungry, broken and neglected people. And, quite opposite, I have also seen more beauty than I could ever put into adequate words. I have lifted my eyes to the hills of God and seen His…
It Hurts So Much
So much suffering in our world. Yesterday’s headlines bore more bad news. I read in Dr. Jim Denison’s daily article that the beloved Senior Pastor of Highland Park Presbyterian Church in Dallas, Bryan Dunnigan, age 44, passed away in his sleep due to natural causes. He leaves behind his wife and three children. Many are…
Are You a Pumpkin Eater?
Yesterday the 26th, right at the first of the Fall season, was National Pumpkin Day. I am blogging about it after the fact because I saw this info after I posted yesterday’s blog. I read that it takes an acre to harvest 1,000 pumpkins. At 7 cents a pound for an average 20-pound pumpkin, the…
My Grace Needs Help
I’ve heard and sung about God’s amazing grace all my life. Though we make mistakes and have not-nice attitudes and are weak in our grace to others, God loves us deeply anyway. Grace – God’s unmerited favor — is always helping us in our weaknesses. “But He said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for…
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.…
