Ain’t No Mountain High Enough
My little eyes saw the lighthouse and church atop the mountain. It was a “God” moment when I recognized His presence as I gazed at those two sources of bringing safety to boats and people! I spoke about them in a recent blog. I’m a noticer, a seeker and many times, a finder! I’ve always…
News Alert: Jesus is no Longer on the Cross
And neither should we be! Remember the two men in white (angels) that showed up as Jesus ascended to heaven? They said, “Men of Galilee, why are you standing there looking at the sky? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will return in the same way as you have seen…
Bad Friday or Good Friday?
You know how it feels. You, or someone you love is hurting so much. No one else could possibly understand this pain. You think “Can this be real? Am I dreaming?” Maybe your closest friend or family member just passed away, and everywhere you look, people are just fine. They’re laughing. They’re carefree. They’re going…
Love Keeps on Giving and Forgiving
The day after Valentine’s Day, I took down the photo of my husband and I and the plaque that read: “A True Love Story Never Ends” from my entry shelf. But, since it’s still the “love month”, I replaced it with the one seen here. This plaque reads: “You are so loved”. I hope it’s…
Our Christmas Cross
This was my fourth year of celebrating Christmas with my family using a Christmas symbol as inspiration. First year, the cardinal; second year, joy; third year, peace. And this year was the greatest of all symbols – the cross. What? No, at this time of year, it should be the manger – not the cross!…
Anything is Possible with Hope
I often receive private messages from those who are hurting and are seeking peace in their lives. They’ve “tried” God, but still feel abandoned and hopeless. I speak truth and life into them and pray with them. And, very often, I’ll receive back their reply that what I said gave them comfort and peace –…
On a Day Like Today
If you lived during the sweetest of times with me (the late 50s and 60s), you’ll probably remember this old song by Pat Boone: “On a day like today we passed the time away, writing love letters in the sand”. I didn’t write in sand two days ago on the anniversary of my sweetheart’s graduation…
Keep Doing Good — Harvest Time Up Ahead!
This blog today is inspired by my DEAR son, Larry, and his new John DEERE tractor. Larry is a do-gooder by nature (the “goods” are beyond numbering for this blog). So, what does God do, but give him the desire of his heart, his tractor. This blog was also inspired by my good friend and…
She’s Getting a New Heart Today
You may remember a blog I wrote on May 4th this year. I shared about the valiant walk of faith that some of my dear Tulsa sisters-in-Christ were taking on behalf of another beloved sister-in-Christ, Becky Holder. Becky must have a heart transplant, but finding a match has been quite the wait. Literally, these resilient…
Let the Tree Inspire You
I saw my daughter’s FB post a couple of weeks ago about what appeared to be a dead tree on their property and how they wouldn’t give up on it. They didn’t let the appearance of it defer their hope for life to still be in it. “The day we signed the papers on Epiphany…
