Our Beautiful Minds
As I type this blog today, it occurred to me that I am very, very grateful for my computer. And, I might add — grateful that it is working well, AFTER having a technician help me with the problem of my computer restarting in the middle of the night which resulted in a loss of…
Designed for Connection
I gave my youngest grandson a Lego Millenium Star Wars set with hundreds of pieces in it for his birthday. My mind just about went “tilt” when I saw how complex it would be to put those pieces together to make sense of that photo on the box. But the next time I went to…
Ain’t No Mountain High Enough
My little eyes saw the lighthouse and church atop the mountain. It was a “God” moment when I recognized His presence as I gazed at those two sources of bringing safety to boats and people! I spoke about them in a recent blog. I’m a noticer, a seeker and many times, a finder! I’ve always…
Our Hearts have Eyes
Oh, the beauty of the landscape and ocean-scape here. This is my heaven-on-earth place of Cabo San Lucas aka Cabo del Sol. We are taking in everything beach and ocean. I am up early to post my blog (we are behind one hour from Austin’s time zone, so I must get moving an hour earlier…
Our Mission is Wherever We Are
All my life, I have been encouraged to love God and share His good news. It started, early on, when I saw the flannel board images of Bible characters while my Sunday School teacher shared the Gospel story. I was also taught little songs that emphasized the love God has for me. “Jesus loves me…
I’ve Got Friends in High Places
My sweet granddaughter, Alexia, and her Yorkie, Emma, have been here with me for the last few days. I always relish this fun girl time (i.e., girl talk, shopping and eating out). One of our mutual enjoyments is a little thrift shopping. I came home with a great stand for my laptop, and she came home with two…
Seeing Sideways
This blog was inspired from an email I received from someone who enjoys turning pictures sideways and seeing what new picture they can see in it. Honestly, I can’t ever say that I intentionally looked sideways at a picture, but it didn’t take me two seconds to see the church looking like a rocket in…
He’s Way Ahead of our Expectations
What were your Easter expectations? Happy family get-togethers and Easter egg hunts for the kiddos? Worshipping together in church for this high praise and worship day when Christ was raised from the dead? That one time a year that your family is willing to come to church together? Or maybe for a miracle healing to…
Everyone Needs a Little Help Sometimes
Being with my Austin family for several days (and going back on Saturday), I watched everyone pitch in to get a job done around their home. Mama sent boys one way. The dad took over the areas of his expertise and mama put her organization skills to work. And I even played my part. We…
A Light in the Darkness
My daughter and I were talking about the explosions that struck Beirut on August 4th, killing 154 people, wounding over 5,000, with 120 still in critical condition on Friday. 300,000+ are now homeless. Lebanon’s president, Michel Aoun, said that 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate caused the explosions. The Port of Beirut was destroyed. Windows were…
