Whatever it is — Let’s Face it Together
Have you had that kind of friend who wouldn’t take “no” for an answer. You may have said, “No, I can do it myself” or “No, I’ll be okay” or “No, I’ll figure out a way to handle this myself.” But, they would not leave you or forsake you. They were relentless in their efforts…
Living in Harmony Like our Animal Friends
I seem to get good blog material when I’m here in Austin as the animal caregiver. These critters — the chickens and ducks in their pen and coop, and the donkeys and goats in their barn and field areas live together in harmony – but they do have their cantankerous moments. The goats with horns…
Be Sure to Wear Your Little Black Dress
I was amused when my daughter told me she was invited to a dinner with several women and the tagline was: “Be sure to wear your little black dress.” Staci remarked to me: “I don’t have a little black dress but I’ll make it happen!” And she pulled it together with a stylish black top…
The Chapters of My Love Story
The first chapter of my love story began when I was a little girl seeing the adoring love that my mom and dad had for each other. I witnessed their sweet affection for each other. In fact, my dad couldn’t keep his hands off my mom. “Roscoe, QUIT!” she’d cry out when he was waaay…
What We Need When We Are a Hot Mess
I was amused when one of my friends said “I’m a hot mess” – which meant not only is she dealing with the symptoms of “the change of life”, but she was also loaded up with so much to do and feeling so inadequate at the things she was doing. Speaking of a “hot mess”,…
Christmas is All About Giving AND Receiving
These photos capture a day of Christmas “love” like none other! I met Susie Jennings in October. Susie is the Founder and President of Operation Care. Susie stepped out in faith and obedience to God when she resigned from her nurse supervisory position at Baylor University Medical Center, Dallas in 2011 to become a full…
Animal Lovers & People Lovers — Let’s Unite!!
I was having my early-morning devotion on the Wuerch Family’s back patio when Bryson, my 10 year old joined me. Oh how I love that boy and the “talks” we have. We started talking about how crazy the world seems and what a shame it is that people are being so ugly to each other.…
Servant Leadership is Spelled L-O-V-E
Day 8 of the LOVE MONTH — Servant Leadership is spelled L-O-V-E I’m on the Host Team at Life.Church on Sunday nights. Since it was Super Bowl weekend, instead of our usual Host Team shirts, we could wear our favorite sports team shirt. Of course, I pulled out my1992 Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl shirt (with…
Don’t Be Ashamed of Your Story
CHAZOWN is a Hebrew word for vision, purpose, destiny — and it’s what God had in mind for us when He created us. Each one of us was placed on earth for a unique purpose that’s solely ours to fulfill. I was once a participant, but this weekend I was a veteran volunteer at the…
It’s a New Dawn, a New Day, a New Life & I’m Feeling Good!
Okay, I admit it…..I AM a morning person. When I wake up, I don’t feel the need to pull the blanket over my head and long for just a few more minutes in bed. In fact, I don’t even need an alarm clock — mine is built-in — usually, right on time between 6:00 am…
