This is What Nobility Looks Like
Today I get to celebrate my NOBLE husband! It’s his birthday! It’s easy to talk about nobility when you have a name like NOBLE, but it’s much harder to live it out every day. My husband, Carl Noble, does exactly that. By name and by character, he is a man of integrity, kindness, honor, faith,…
What Side are You On?
The word, consecrate, stands out to me today. Consecrate: to make something or declare something sacred, blessed, sanctified, make holy, dedicated to God, devoted, reserved, anointed, set apart. In Luke 2, we read that Jesus’ parents took Him to the temple to be consecrated to God. We took that seriously as the template for consecrating…
In This Very Room
Last Monday, January 8th, in this very room pictured here, fifty members of our team that is made up of paid and volunteer staff enjoyed our Team Appreciation Luncheon at Maggiano’s Restaurant in Austin. OUR TEAM is comprised of devoted, relentless, and selfless individuals who believe it is “more blessed to give than receive”. However,…
Just Do It
Nike’s three little words have certainly had a shelf life that has been strong since 1988. No slogan has come close to making the cultural impact and getting the worldwide acceptance of Nike’s unforgettable phrase. The “Just do it” tagline became one of the biggest ad ideas in history because it spoke to each person…
In God We Trust
Psalm 91 has been my go to: 911 number for years. Get it? Psalm 91:1 “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” It is my 911 call for daily protection for my loved ones and myself. The whole chapter is about “In God…

Consecrated
We don’t often hear the word “consecrate” that much in our everyday conversations. But, the word, consecrate, stood out to me in my devotions yesterday. Consecrate: to make or declare something sacred, blessed, holy, dedicated to God, devoted, anointed, set apart. I’m still thinking about parents at the start of this new school year, so…
Disappointment Might be an Appointment
Daily I read what I wrote in my journal for this day last year. Since early January, I’ve read about the excitement of being on the leadership team for our upcoming ACTS Retreat that was to have been on the weekend of April 23rd. We were wonder-eyed and “on fire” with passion and great anticipation…
??A Tribute to my Beloved Sister??
Because she’s alive and well and it’s her birthday! Tributes to those we love generally come after they have passed on. I can’t wait to give that tribute because, quite frankly, I may get my heavenly-orders before she gets hers. One advantage of marrying young has been that I have had many years, not only…
