Who Cares?
Let’s just get straight to the point of that question and give it an answer. God cares! “The LORD is near to those who are discouraged; He saves those who have lost all hope.” (Psalm 34:18) Life is filled with unexpected circumstances. I wish you could see my FB Messenger and the people who reach…
It’s Time for GOOD NEWS!
All it takes is watching a news network and we’ll hear about another devastating killing, a robbery, a disastrous storm, accidents involving the loss of life, and so much more. I am no longer a “Bad News” enthusiast. This blog today came from a couple of events I attended recently. The first one was by…
NET-Working
I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I am watching “The Chosen” series again – starting from the beginning before I watch the new Part 3 series. As I watched Part 1, the 4th and 5th episodes on Sunday, I started thinking about NET-WORKING. Networking is when people are exchanging information and ideas for…
He Brought the House Down
You’ve probably heard that phrase when a comedian, storyteller, vocalist or actor gave a stellar performance. The crowd jumps to their feet and with cheers and applause, they assure that performer deserved being honored. I’ll never forget the performance of Yakov Smirnoff at his show in Branson, MO. My husband and I had seen the…
Plenty of Room
My Austin family recently moved into their new home. With the new home, they made a huge change in their home décor and furniture. They gave away or sold all the furnishings they had for many years. They went from ultra-Country French furnishings to ultra contemporary and modern. It is beautiful with clean lines, no…
Lord, Have Mercy!
I’ve heard people say “Lorrrd, have mercy!” as a quick retort when yet another “I can’t believe it” circumstance happens. In reality, that is what we should say, rather pray, anytime we encounter a roadblock, a rock landslide, “rocked my world” or rock crazy situations going on in our world. The rock-solid mercy of God…
Surprised by Great Love
In these in-between days from Jesus’ resurrection to His ascension, I enjoy reading about the beautiful “surprise” stories that verifies that Jesus really came back to life and moved about to prove it. At first those who witnessed Him alive were startled and then they were elated that their Savior lived. I love the story…
My Personal Trainer
My son’s marathon coach (he has run 55 full marathons) said to me: “He got his legs from you. Why don’t you let me train you to run a half-marathon.” I was already running three miles almost daily, so I figured “Why not?” So, with grit and determination and my son’s coach giving me the…
A Soldier for the King
Being a soldier of Christ is not for the faint of heart. My camouflage uniform and combat boots (figuratively speaking) are worn out. Lord, can I please be a soldier of chocolate or sleep today? I am at my desk while trying to fight off all the useless questions we like to ask God in…
Can I Really Live Like Jesus?
I’ve started back at the beginning of watching “The Chosen” series. I wanted Jesus’ life in movie form to remind and inspire me once again about Jesus’ walking this earth before I start on the new Season 3. What I have seen in this incredible series makes me love our real Jesus even more. “Can…
