THE Man for All Seasons
Yesterday my blog was dedicated to honoring my precious son aka son-in-law. As I called him a “Man for all Seasons – Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall”, I had this gnawing going on inside me. While Larry is a great guy and conquers each season with dignity, honor, and true grit, I had to step…
April Showers Bring May Flowers
And life’s clouds, storms and showers can bring many blessings. This blog was inspired by the opportunity to be in Tulsa for several days. Though I have many precious friends and beautiful memories here, this trip came with a specific purpose in mind. That is to be with my 99-1/2 years old mother-in-law while my…
Easter and our Hopes For Tomorrow
I don’t know what tomorrow holds, but I do know WHO knows and as long as I maintain my “God perspective” on everything this life doles out, I know I will make it through what may look like a tragedy or triumph. How do I know that? It was because of what happened on Sunday!…

Holy Wednesday’s Love Story
In the workplace, we call Wednesdays “Hump Day”. That’s because it’s in the middle of the work week and hallelujah, the weekend is in sight! Just two more days and it’s the weekend! But can we imagine Jesus thoughts on this day…..in the middle? Wednesday meant one day closer to His pain, suffering and crucifixion.…
Temple Tuesday was Just That
Yesterday, on Holy Monday of Holy Week, I blogged about Jesus and His righteous anger when He saw the money changers selling their wares and cheating people at the temple. Cheating is wrong but especially at this holy place set apart for the presence of God. I love that from that scene, Jesus went into…
It’s Palm Sunday and Here He Comes!
