Governor Abbott’s Prayer Breakfast
In Monday morning’s early hours, amidst the camaraderie of fellow Texans, my heart swelled with gratitude as we attended Governor Greg Abbott’s Prayer Breakfast for the second consecutive year. Surrounded by 690 fervent souls, we gathered to honor our state, our leader, and the profound impact of prayer in our lives. Governor Abbott, a beacon…
Home NOT Alone
It all started seven months ago when we had an estate sale to rid his home of no longer-needed contents. He loved our apartment “nest”, so he put his charming home on the market. Little did we know that beneath its delightful exterior, lay a web of plumbing problems waiting to be uncovered. But hey,…
We’ve Been Entrusted
Entrusted – I saw that word in an email yesterday morning. It motivated me to blog about it. To entrust is to give someone a responsibility that we assume they will fulfill. If we entrust someone with the task of getting us to an appointment on time, we best make sure they are punctual. Entrusting…
Our Ark aka Cabinet Project
As hilarious as it was, it still went SOUTH! We had it! Done with not enough storage space! So, we went to the IKEA store for a storage cabinet for the excess in our kitchen. But, to our chagrin, it was no longer in stock. So, since Amazon seems to carry everything, we found a…
We Forgot You

Just Like Our Heavenly Father
Of course, we have great love for our children – we are just like our Heavenly Father! I was thrilled when I recently saw the Facebook post of a precious young woman that I, and many others, had been praying for. Her greatest desire and prayer was to be able to conceive a baby. It…
Patient and Gentle Persuasion
Have you ever had someone in your life who is so doggone sweet, kind, and gentle that you wanted to hang with them so that some of that ooey, gooiness of them would rub off on you? I have – and I am still working on the “rub”! And, then, you find out what that…
My Personal Trainer
My son’s marathon coach (he has run 55 full marathons) said to me: “He got his legs from you. Why don’t you let me train you to run a half-marathon.” I was already running three miles almost daily, so I figured “Why not?” So, with grit and determination and my son’s coach giving me the…
