Just Not Feeling It
We may be in a room with people who are quite perky, talkative, and beaming like the sun. In fact, they are so doggone happy that they may annoy us! After all, we may be carrying the weight of the world on our shoulders and their high-spirits and cheeriness is rubbing us the wrong way!…
Stretching Time
You know the deal. We stretch our faith and go for it – as in: “Yes, we’re buying a home” or “Yes, I’m changing jobs — the pay is less, but it’s what I love to do.” Or, like my beloved sis and brother-in-law, they are retiring. It’s been a stretch for them to train…
Our Texas Governor’s Prayer Breakfast
I quickly answered “yes” when my friend asked me if I’d like to attend our Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s Prayer Breakfast yesterday. It was an early morning quest as breakfast started at 6:30 a.m. Over 750 avid fans of allegiance and prayer were wide awake from the git-go for our governor as well as our…
Is it in my Genes?
I had three siblings who graduated to heaven; two of them had Alzheimer’s disease and the other had Diabetes so severe that she lost one foot to the disease. My Mom, now in heaven, had congenital heart disease. My Dad, also in heaven, had a malignant brain tumor. Goodness gracious! With that family medical history,…
Take That and…..That!
Before watching the “Jesus Revolution” movie, we were entertained with the trailers of upcoming movies. After watching the trailer to the “Big George Foreman” true-story movie, I knew I wanted to see it! I bought tickets in advance and saw it on Thursday. The movie gives an up close and personal view of a broken,…
Staying on Course
My East Texas family was in high gear last weekend. They had been working diligently at their newly acquired eight acres just down the road from where their 62 acres of land at Epiphany Ranch is located. This new parcel of land will be home to one of their team members and her family. In…
They are Looney Tunes
Remember those wacky, wild, half-witted Looney Tunes characters? We laughed at their shenanigans. Today those Looney Tunes have been replaced with high tech animation that look like real people. I am fondly remembering the Looney Tunes aka people who seem a little cray cray because they are waving their “Jesus saves” or “You Matter” signs…
Water for our Thirsty Souls
A few years ago, in Cabo San Lucas, Bryson, my youngest grandson, and I were sitting on the deck overlooking the Sea of Cortez. We were talking about a recent and devastating tsunami. He asks me: “What is it that you can’t live without, but it can also kill you?”My “thinker” kicked in and I…
Is it Naptime Yet?
Most everyone that reads my blog will notice that I am an early riser. I have a built-in alarm clock that awakens me around 4 am. I use that early morning time to go over my blog one more time before I post it before 6 am. My promise to God was to post my…
What Do You Put on Each Day?
Throwing that question out, might make you wonder what I mean. You might think I’m asking about putting on your clothes, your glasses, your deodorant, your cologne or aftershave, your jewelry or shoes or hat. This blog today was inspired by a dear friend who is one of my faithful daily blog followers. Not only…
