Pacing Our Race
Our Women’s Bible Study group just finished an incredible series wrapped around the scripture: “Since we are surrounded by such a great crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance…
Being Careful with Our Walk
A few days ago, while getting my nails done at the salon, a young woman came in with a full cast on her arm. She asked for her gel nails to be removed because of an upcoming surgery. Being the nosey, wanna’-know gal that I am, I asked what happened. She said she fell on…
Are We There Yet?
Yes, we are there — in 2022! Side note: No one in this generation will be there to see it, but how cool it will be for those who are alive in 2222! But, I also like the sound of 2022. It came in like a breath of fresh air. And it was fresh air…
Navigating the Fast Lane
I celebrated my two-month anniversary of my move to Austin on April 23rd. I am pleased to report that I’ve been navigating this busy metropolis quite well.

Help! I Need a Course Correction!
I travel the highways to Austin and Tulsa often and rarely do I need directions. But, when I am on the phone or in Lala Land while driving, I just might take a wrong turn. One time, I took the wrong exit to Dallas coming home from Tulsa and ended up on some backwoods roads.…
Soaring Above It All
I saw this photo on a friend’s FB post about her recent vacation. Right away a blog started forming in my head. Her FB comment was: “Oh, today, let’s be adventurers! Feel the wind and fly.” Obviously, she and her husband took her words to action. I commented on her post: “I love that! I…
Making Course Corrections
Learning to fly was an amazing experience and flying solo was the part that sure got my blood pumping. When flying alone, there is no one else to depend upon except yourself. It was empowering, but it was also one of the most terrifying things I ever did. I made that first solo flight just…
On the Road Again — Back to My Traveling Sacred Space
I headed out for my 4-hour trek from Austin to home in Frisco yesterday afternoon. I’m strategic about my travels. I left in the afternoon, since it was a Sunday and less traffic, but usually, on a week day, I’ll leave at 6 am — early enough to get ahead of Austin morning traffic and…
