Dream a Little — Dream a Lot
Carl sleeps like a champion — eight solid hours, no interruptions, probably dreaming in full color with surround sound. Me? I celebrate if I get six. And yes — I’ve been known to sneak in a little “holy nap” during the day — now and then. And dreaming at night? Rare. If I do dream,…
❤️❤️ Love is an Action Word ❤️❤️
I’ve become a speed reader.Not just with emails and text messages — but with my Bible. And that’s when I have to stop and scold myself a little — because the Word of God is not a checklist. It’s not a “get-it-done” assignment. It’s a love letter from the One who knows my name. But…
Staying in Step with Our Father
I know some really good “steppers.” You know the type — people who seem to succeed at whatever they set their feet toward. I once heard a good old boy say, “Ain’t no step for a stepper!” Translation: Stop staring at the mountain. Start climbing. That phrase makes me smile, but it also makes me…
Clear Vision
Have you ever tried to walk through your house in the dark — confident you know where everything is — only to stub your toe on a chair that never moved? That’s what life can feel like without clear vision. Ouch! The Bible puts it plainly: “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” (Proverbs…
The Case of the Lost Driver’s License
A few days ago, I was a woman on a mission — a DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) mission. My sweet friend, recovering from back surgery, needed a new handicap placard – the others had expired. Easy enough. I headed to the Williamson County DMV, took a number, waited patiently, and voila — mission accomplished!…
We Have Everything We Need
Max Lucado (my favorite author) hit the nail on the head when he said, “You have a God who hears you, the power of love behind you, the Holy Spirit within you, and all of heaven ahead of you…” Now, if that doesn’t make us want to shout a hallelujah, I don’t know what will!…
The Right GPS Sytem
Once upon a time I was “directionally challenged”. I remember driving in and out of neighborhoods, off highways and byways, and spending way more time driving than I should have. It didn’t take much for me to get lost. Aw! But now those days are long gone since the advent of our GPS (Global Positioning…
Worship = Warning = Rewards
On Sunday, my blog was based on the Wise Men’s words “We have come to worship Him.” I couldn’t resist – one more blog about the Wise Men, their visit to the Holy Family and “worship”. The final line of the scriptures of that story describes what happened, AFTER they worshipped the newborn King. “Then,…
God’s Stamp of Approval
“True Confessions” — I think that was the title of an old movie, a sleazy magazine, a novel, and an informative newspaper column. And, today, I’m coming clean on some personal true confessions of my own. Ever go through a season of self-regret? I’m there today. I’m reading ME like a book and this book…
I Hear You, But I’m Not Listening
A concerned husband went to his doctor and said, “Doc, I think my wife is going deaf. What can I do?” The doctor replies: “Go home and stand 15 feet from her and speak to her. If she doesn’t reply, move 5 feet closer and say it again. Keep doing this so we’ll get an…
