ROAR — When Life is Wild — God is Good!
Last year I heard about the exciting and fun-filled times that were had by the kids and the adult and teen volunteers at Vacation Bible School at my church. With all that enthusiasm, I didn’t want to miss out this year so early on, I enlisted! And, I am so glad I did. Today is…
A Hot Mess Because Life Can Be Messy
I have served on faith-based women’s teams and was amused when I heard some of the young women, after a long day of being “mom” to their young family, exclaim “I’m a hot mess!” I’ll admit I didn’t know what that meant but it did seem they were frazzled and welcomed being a part of…
Is is Clothes or the Heart that Makes the Man?
I saw these “ancient” photos and how stylish and dressed-to-the-nines we were back then. I remembered Mark Twain’s quote: “Clothes make the man! Naked people have little or no influence on society.” I had to laugh at that thought and visual! This first photo is my Mom and her best friends, my mother and father-in-law…
Being an Influencer
Okay….this is longer than my usual “long”, but it describes major influencers in my life. When I come to Tulsa, I squeeze in as much as possible because there are so many precious friends and family here. Yesterday was no exception. First was attending mass at my home parish and sitting beside my Tulsa “family”…
I’ve Hidden His Word in my Heart
I’m so grateful for my upbringing in church because that’s where I received the “solid rock” foundation for my life. My parents were wise in that “church” was our “go to” place for friendships, worshiping God, hearing His Word, AND in my opinion – the best place EVER to hang out with my girlfriends and…
Being PLANTED and REPLANTED
My words of the day are: PLANT — sow, seed, place or fix into a specified position REPLANT: To plant again in a new place Seven years ago, this Peace Lily PLANT was given to our family for my husband’s memorial service. What a beautiful representation of “peace” that was given to us. And peace…
God’s Church Triumphant is Alive and Well
God’s Church Triumphant is Alive and Well I’ll be heading home from Tulsa after attending church with so many of my dearest friends this morning. Of course, my sweet godson will be sitting by me. That’s been his seat since my Sweetheart went to heaven. Each Sunday, he’d wait for me, or I would wait…
???The TREAT of October 31st, 1922???
This sweet little lady is my dear mother-in-law, Lydia (Winick) Wuerch, who was born on October 31st, 1922, 95 years ago. Though she was born on the day attributed to Halloween — she was always the TREAT — not the trick. ?????For those who have known Mom as their dear friend, mentor, close relative or…
In the Eye of the Storm
It has been said that music brings a soothing, healing effect to those in pain or in stress or crisis. Kari Jobe’s song, “Healer” soothed my sweetheart’s racked-with-pain-body as we played it over and over for him. That’s why I chose “Amazing Grace” and “It is Well With My Soul” to post about over the…
Train Up A Child in the Way He Should Go
Some people ask me “How do you know scriptures so well? How do you know so many stories from the Bible?” And my response is, “I cut my teeth on the back of a pew.” LOL! It was because, from an infant — our church seemed like our second home. It was our family’s “go…
