God, Please Breathe on Me
In my prayer time, I said these words “Thank You for your breath, Lord!” What? Where did that come from? To who do we ever say “Thank you for your breath”, because breath can be stinky? But not so with the breath of Jesus. In asking for His breath, I knew that I was asking…
Huggers! Bring on the Hugs!
If anything bothered me during the Covid pandemic, it was that we couldn’t reach out and touch someone, which for me, a hugger, is heartrending. Even handshakes were unacceptable. Though we still respect where someone may be regarding close contact, I am still campaigning for us to be huggers and if not in the usual…
International Widows Day
Every year on June 23rd, International Widows’ Day gives special recognition to the situation of widows of all ages across the globe. The reason this day was created by the United Nations, is to raise attention to those widows who are mistreated. How blessed we are in America, but in many developing countries, the conditions…
Bear Grylls and His Great Faith Adventure
Like me, maybe you are a fan of Bear Grylls and his MAN VS. WILD show. I saw this article on the “Movieguide” email that I receive daily. Put the word “faith” in a headline and I am the curiosity seeker to find out if the source is true blue! BEAR GRYLLS has become known…
Run to those Open Arms
Okay! Maybe I’m a “stuck record”! An FYI to the kids who don’t know what “stuck record” means – it refers to the needle on a record player that got stuck on a record and we kept hearing the same lyrics over and over. In my case, it means I can’t move off the story…
Close Encounters of the Best Kind
I’m a storyteller and the best story I tell is about the very up close and personal encounter I had with Jesus when I was just eight years old. I never get tired of sharing it. It’s a short story and to the point. I remember it like it was yesterday. I was just eight…
Appointment or Disappointment
Sunday night’s Super Bowl 2022 was reason for our community to pack out our theater room and bring all kinds of goodies to munch on. Most of us cheered for the underdogs, the Bengals, but none of us lost any sleep because they lost. In the end, the Bengals had DISAPPOINTMENT written on their faces…
S.O.S.Time to Slow Down
My dear Tulsa friend often sends me emails that include hilarious photos, statements, and stories that give me comedic relief. I loved this one from a few days ago:S.O.S.“An Airbus 380 is on its way across the Atlantic. It flies consistently at 800 km/h at 30,000 feet, when suddenly a Eurofighter with Tempo Mach 2…
Do You Get Caught Up in the Winds?
In Rusk, TX where they are working relentlessly on their property that will be a blessing to many, I received this text message from my daughter on Thursday: “It’s intense here; 60+ mph winds! Our contractors are having to take measures on our house so that it doesn’t come apart. Please pray for secure protection…
Peace, Goodness and Mercy in the Storm
I love to share about God’s peace, goodness and mercy that follows us all the days of our lives (Psalm 23:6) but then comes along another storm that rocks and reels our world. Hurricane Ida came in with a vengeance. I was thankful to see my Louisiana friends mark themselves as safe on Facebook. But…
