Our Great Creator and Entertainer
My typical Sunday morning routine is to listen to an online church service or Christian video while I’m endeavoring to “beautify” myself — hair, make-up, clothes selection, etc. Yesterday, my search left me wanting, so I stopped looking. I promptly apologized to God and said, “How could I be looking for something to entertain me…
Excuse Me! Could I Have Your Undivided Attention, Please?
This photo may look familiar. It should because I was in this very spot two years ago. I’m back in Tulsa for a few days that lead up to my mother-in-law’s 96th birthday on Wednesday. After my home sold two years ago, I stayed at a dear friend’s home for another six weeks because I…
Our Creator’s Epic Creation — the Skies AND You and Me
Sunday morning, on the way to church, I was mesmerized with the Eastern skies. I stopped several times to take photos of the panoramic view of God’s handiwork. Oh my, He was certainly showing off. I told Him so! It was as though He wanted us to see Who could a thousand times over one-up…
How Do You Use Your Lightning-Fast Mind?
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 an intra-campus courier service. Of course, we’ll have great ideas for witty inventions and innovations if we actually use these “lightning fast minds” that were made…
It’s All About Perspective
Continuing on with my animal-sitting here in Austin, I was taking the 2,000 lb longhorn, Vamanos, his morning meal, consisting of huge grain pellets and lots of hay. He is usually standing at the fence waiting or at least comes trotting if he is a distance away. Yesterday, no sign of Vamanos. I clanged the…
Excuse Me….Could I Have Your Undivided Attention Please?
Excuse Me….Could I Have Your Undivided Attention Please? These days, it’s almost impossible to have a meal or a focused conversation with someone without being interrupted by a phone call or text message. How does it make you feel to be having a nice conversation with someone, and then THEIR phone rings or dings that…
Like Father…..Like Sons & Daughters
That 3-1/2 to 4 hours between Frisco, TX and Tulsa, OK gives me plenty of time to think about subject matter for my FB posts. This trip back to Tulsa didn’t disappoint. As I gazed at the beautiful blue skies with puffy white clouds, the trees, and pastures abundant with cattle — I thought “Father…
Inner Beauty AND Being a Masterpiece
Yesterday, in my post, I talked about divine set-ups. I like to think that God is always setting us up for divine appointments. Knowing that, we should be keeping our eyes, ears and hearts open to the possibility of those times. He sure has a way of surprising me in the middle of a routine…
Being a Show Off
Yesterday, was officially the first day of Summer, Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year, and, to throw a big whoop-la celebration, our Creator made it to be extra special as it conincided with a full moon in a rare event that hasn’t be seen in nearly 70 years. It also featured a full…
Breaking Out of the Box
We’ve all heard the saying “Think OUTSIDE the Box” which means think more creatively. But I heard my grandkids’ youth pastor speak about “Getting Out of the Box” completely on Sunday night. I was able to attend the youth service at their church in Frisco, TX on Sunday night. Over 200 “praising and worshipping” kids…
