Fall Back! It’s Time for Change!
We know summer is officially over when Daylight Saving Time comes. You’re welcome, Friends. I’m giving you a little ARK (Act of Random of Kindness). I’m reminding you to turn your clocks back one hour before you go to bed tonight. Whoohoo! An extra hour of sleep is ahead! Daylight Savings Time ends tomorrow morning,…
Blessed to Give – The Gathering Place
While in Tulsa for great granny’s funeral, my granddaughter and I took the time to bask in God’s creation when we explored Tulsa’s “Gathering Place”. We took on the 70-acre, $465 million-to-build, world-class park. The “Gathering Place” began with the George Kaiser Family Foundation and an extraordinary dream to transform 100 acres of Tulsa’s waterfront…
Lost & Found
A friend posted: “Praise report… my engagement ring had lost the diamond about 2 weeks ago. Bruce and I tore apart the house and cars looking for it. No diamond. We pretty much chalked it up to being lost. We have had a lot of challenges financially and we felt Satan has just been testing…
Celebrating Our Heroes of Faith
My sis sent me this photo of her, her daughter and granddaughter. They went to the cemetery to celebrate Mom’s 100th on her birthday, October 31st. We all had expected to celebrate her on this side of heaven, but God had something better in mind. Oh, so much better! Yesterday, November 1st (BTW – Happy…
Living Our Faith Out Loud
In an election voting location, it is required that the poll workers (the judges, the clerks, etc.) be equal party affiliations. Republicans and Democrats working side-by-side. Imagine that! If we were in a debate, we would, more than likely, have opposing opinions about who our next Texas Governor, Mayor or other party leaders should be.…
The TREAT of October 31st, 1922
The TREAT of October 31st, 1922Just one last love proclamation for this sweet little lady, Mom, my dear mother-in-law, Lydia (Winick) Wuerch, born on October 31st, 1922, 100 years ago. Not the trick, but the treat of this day! She was done with this side of heaven, praying daily: “Lord, please take me home!” Her…
Embracing the Quiet
When Mom was still here on this side of heaven, my sis, Karen, and I talked a lot to her even when she was in a sound sleep. We knew her spirit could hear our words. That’s why I put the phone up to her ear when my children and grandchildren called the day before…
Mercy Me! Bring on the Light!
It’s my annual rant time! That expletive isn’t about the Christian vocal group, Mercy Me! It’s about the ghosts, goblins, zombies, witches, and other Halloween paraphernalia that “haunts” us at retail stores, homes and Halloween parties this time of year. Wait! Before you Halloween enthusiasts stop reading this blog, please know I’m not judging anyone…
Our Safe Place
We live in a world of keys, locks, alarms, and security systems. We protect the things that are most valuable to us. I asked Karen if she wanted Mom to have her wedding ring on for the viewing last Thursday, and then we could remove it once the casket would be tightly closed. She told…
Rise to the Occasion
Twelve years ago, I knew a mission by God had been handed me and I had to “rise to the occasion”. The “occasion” was a very sick husband. Each of our journeys in life are just that – our individual scripted-by-God journeys. I think it has a great deal to do with our personal faith…
