God’s Cinematography
We heard the perfect place to view the total solar eclipse was Luckenbach, Texas. Friends said it would be the crème-de-la-crème location of seeing it happen there in full cinematography. Knowing the highways would be packed with travelers, sweet home Austin had a better offer for us. Our next-door neighbors, Texas Children’s Hospital, offered our…
Being the Pen of a Ready Writer
More than anything, I desire to be God’s pen as He is the Ready Writer. Psalm 45:1 says, “… my tongue is the pen of a skillful/ready writer.” That means when we speak words, we are writing them on our heart;s and whatever is conceived in our hearts will eventually come out of our mouths…
Is it Possible?
NEVER should we EVER say, “It can’t be done” or “I can’t do that” or ANYTHING when God says “Is there anything too hard for me?” Genesis 18:14 We have friends in a very challenging place right now. Maybe you are there too! Just a quick refresher: Christmas was almost a month ago. Remember Mary!…
Greater Things You Will Do
After a fabulous celebration of Christmas and the birth of Baby Jesus, we can now fast forward to the Man Jesus who said those words found in John 14:12-14: “Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in Me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these….”…
Using Our Lightning-Fast Minds
I’m remembering today with MY “not as fast-lightning mind” as I once had. In the 90s, as the Associate Director of Communications at the University of Manitoba, I received this Inuit stone carving in appreciation for the “innovative idea” I had for bringing in “voice mail” to the university, as well as an intra-campus courier…
Let’s Talk about Partying
“Hear ye! Hear ye!” We’ve come a long way, Baby! Rather, I’ve come a long way, Baby! I’m letting the world know tomorrow is my birthday via an extremely sophisticated means – my computer and the internet. Back in the day, way before newspapers and radios, there were town criers. They made public announcements, shouted…
What We Did for Fun
August is here and that means it’s almost time for kiddos going back to school. In fact, my grandson, Brennan, is now at University of Mary Hardin Baylor where he and his parents nestled him into his dorm yesterday. How can it be? It seems this summer flew by. It has been so hot in…
God Bless You!
I remember the time when I was at church and that “gotta’ sneeze” hit. I tried to hold it back, but couldn’t — “ah-choo!” The man behind me whispered “Bless you!” Ten seconds later, “ah-choo” came again. This time it was the woman beside me who said, “God bless you”! As embarrassing as it was,…
Our Partnership with God
Sometimes I wake-up with immense gratitude that I woke up. I look at my clock for the time. I get to brush my teeth with a power toothbrush. I jump over to my computer and hit the “post” button for these blogs. I am so thankful that God graced me with living in this century!…
Created to Create
A “must-do” when we’re in Cabo is to attend the Art Walk in San Jose del Cabo. Every Thursday night, artists, artisans, and other creators show their talents and sell their artwork. There are paintings, wire-work, sculptures. You name it. It is there. Oh how I admire those who use their hands, minds, and hearts…
