Living in the Peace Zone
The Word of the Day: PAST — no longer existing. Remember the Von Trapp Family in the “Sound of Music” singing “So long, farewell, Auf Wiedersehen, good-bye”? That’s what I did on New Year’s Eve.” The PAST is now the PAST. And, what a way to say farewell than in a predominately African American crowd…
· While “The Wallace’s” and I were driving home from Austin yesterday, I was already thinking “I’m going to take down my Christmas decor’ as soon as possible since I’ll be going out of town next week and I want to come back home to a fresh clean slate in the new year of new…
Go Tell It on the Mountain Today I celebrate the day my sweet Daddy, at age 64, graduated to heaven in 1964. My Sweetheart was only 63. I think God was giving out “Fast Passes” to heaven for two men that I loved so much. Good for them. They both earned those “Fast Passes”. I…
I’ve become an avid “noticer”.

Lately, I’ve seemed to be more of a noticer AND a ponderer than ever before. Both words seem to be encased in the traditions of Christmas. I’m in good company. The shepherds were noticers of the angels who broke the news of their Savior’s birth. The Wise Men were noticers of the star that led…
Day 362 of Photo Inspirations — Do You See What I See? Though most of the festivities are over, the joy and peace of Christmas still lingers. I’m still captivated by the flickering lights that are still glowing brightly. I just love the sweet and tender atmosphere of Christmas. But, most of all, what reassurance…
Day 361 of Photo Inspirations — Greater Things Shall You Do I have to laugh out loud as I watch my two youngest grandsons enjoy their high tech Christmas gifts. The one that has grabbed the most attention is their hover board. For most of the day, they’re counting the minutes until it’s their turn…
Day 93 of Photo Inspirations — Debt PAID in FULL Two friends and I meet daily (M-F) at 6:30 am to walk the perimeter of our subdivision three times (3.3 miles). We walk, talk and pray. We’re on purpose. We pray for divine intervention for our families, our community, city, state and world. “If my…
