I Can Hardly Wait
My son sent a photo of he and Shawntel taking friends with their little two-year-old girl to see Austin’s spectacular Trail of Lights. They’re getting that little one started early. And that’s what my parents did for me. As a child, some of my fondest memories of Christmas included the drive to look at Christmas…
Christmas Divides Darkness from Light
It’s here at last! The most wonderful time of the year! I think we’re singing that song a little louder and prouder this year. We sure needed Christmas and its many symbols and songs and THE BABY to light up the darkness we have encountered this year. I needed one little set of clear Christmas…
Celebrating While Remembering
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…..ALREADY! It seems Christmas comes earlier each year. In a sense, it does because of lightning fast time passing (I promise, you young things, you’ll understand that speed one day), but also in seeing Christmas lights shining brightly on homes already. Oh, the peer pressure! Actually, that added…
Christmas Lights and the Light of the World
Is it just me, or am I seeing more homes lit up with twinkling Christmas lights this year? Hopefully, it means the Christmas spirit is catching hold of people’s hearts and they’re desiring their “lights” to shine brightly! I know most people are adding to the festivity of Christmas and don’t consider the lights they’re…
Live as Children of the LIGHT.
My word for today is LIGHT: the brightness that dispels darkness. Christmas LIGHTS are getting scarce now as most of us have taken down the LIGHTS from our homes and businesses, and packed them away for another year. Now, it’s up to us to represent and be THE LIGHT to our family, our neighbors and…
Surprise! It Snowed Last Night!
I’m feelin’ the love. God’s love, that is, because yesterday morning, here in Tulsa, there was a “sprinkling” of snow everywhere. The morning welcomed me with such tenderness and peace. I just had to quickly grab a couple of photos. Though I find that peace here everytime I visit her, Mom still has her sweet…
Wise Men Still Seek Him
Santa Claus came and went. The reindeer’s nose is no longer shining. The carolers have closed their Christmas song books. Chestnuts are no longer roasting on an open fire. My Canadian family are so happy we’re no longer singing “Let it snow. Let it snow.” and “I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas”, since they now…
Christmas Lights and the Light of the World
No shortage of Christmas lights here in Frisco, TX! The homes in my daughter’s neighborhood seem to be in competition on who can light up their home and yard the most. I love it! That’s been one of my Christmas favorites since I was a little girl. We were always light gazers when we’d drive…
Christmas Lights and the Light of the World
Day 336 of Photo Inspirations — Christmas Lights and the Light of the World Among Tulsa’s great tourist attractions, one of my favorites at this time of the year, is Rhema Church’s spectacular “Christmas Lights Extravaganza” — thus my first photo inspiration. For over 30 years Rhema has provided the city with THE LIGHTS TO…
And the LIGHT Keeps Shining Brightly
Day 4 of 365 days of my photo inspirations for 2015: Tonight I was taken with the lights on many homes that are still brightly lit and shining in my children’s Texas neighborhood. While many Christmas lights have been put away for another year, I, and many others will conclude our Christmas season on January…
