Don’t You Tell Me God Can’t Do It
Last weekend could not have been more exhilarating and memorable. I rolled back the curtain of many treasured memories that sparked undaunted faith for miracles. Don’t you tell me God can’t answer prayer! I have proof positive from just a couple of days of “raising hallelujahs” for what God has done. Hopefully, I’ll increase your…
Mountain! You’ve Gotta’ Move!
That’s me in this photo at the Cascade Mountains of Washington. I know mountains. I’ve climbed them. I’ve gazed at their beauty from a distance. I’ve skied down them. I’ve driven the winding roads to the top of them and embraced the beauty from the top looking down. And I know MOUNTAINS — those vast,…
The Wonder of It All
Many photos of sweet, newborn babies are sure popping up on my FB newsfeed lately. I still wonder about the way God knits babies together so perfectly in their mother’s womb (Psalm 139:13) and then they make their debut into this great big world. I was in awe and wonder when mine were placed in…
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…
Just Riding the Wave
I forgot about the time change this morning. Almost two hours late in posting (we’re on mountain time here)! Yikes! I’m riding on the wave of blessing as my Austin family and I enjoy a week of R & R in Cabo San Lucas. This is a place, for years, where ideas flowed, hard work…
Facing our Fears with Love
I am still pinching myself that I now live in Austin. And, I’m all settled in. This move seemed overwhelming at the time, but now it’s in the past. I did eat that ginormous “elephant” one bite at a time. That’s how my life has changed. To have faced a giant like this years ago,…
The Legacy of Martin Luther King Jr.
I’m old enough to remember when Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated on April 4, 1968 – 52 years ago. That date gives me pause. It did then when I was holding my one-year-old baby boy in my arms and hearing the horrendous news of the assassination of this passionate, honorable man who endeavored…
Keep On Keeping On
Of course this precious man’s photo is my inspiration for today. Heaven is a wonderful place and every time I hear about someone’s loved one getting to go there, it seems to get sweeter and sweeter. At least it sure does for me. I am a team member on a Faith & Grief support group…
That’s Onomatopoeia: POW, BOOM, BAM
My BFF from Tulsa came to see me on Thursday. We make every moment count when we’re together. We call ourselves “Ethel and Lucy” because we can sure have some hilarious (without even trying) times. We were in that mode at Hobby Lobby and then yesterday, just before she headed on her way to her…
Growing Older is Fun, as Long as You Do It With the Right People
This is my dear friend, Jo Silvey Our birthdays are just a couple of weeks apart so we celebrated and “caught up” yesterday. Jo has been our family’s hair stylist for years along with the many other attributes she has that has blessed our family for a very long time. She drove to Tulsa from…
