The Year We Came Together
To my future grandchildren and great grandchildren: WOW! What a year 2020 was! Before the BIG “C-Virus”, our world was so divided. There were literal wars and political wars beyond belief. So many people were selfish and talked so bad to and about each other. The heroes before the C-virus were the highly paid professional…
Listening to God’s Still Small Voice
live on your hands for 5-10 minutes. Drink warm water as an effective way to stop all viruses. Try not to drink liquids with ice. Gargling with a simple warm water salt solution is also an effective measure for preventing contraction of viruses. Ensure your mouth and throat are moist, never dry. Take a few…
Whatever We Do…Let’s Do it for God
When my husband and I were just-married-youngsters (18 & 17), we were given some not-so-appealing jobs by his dad. He was the pastor of the church and we were the designated church custodians. My husband was a perfectionist. Oh, yes, he was. I was NOT! The church got the best of his perfectionism. He was…
He is Our Storm Chaser
Most of my posts come from my own personal life experiences with the sincere hope that what I share will encourage and even open your eyes to our great Storm Chaser. I learned some very difficult lessons the hard way so my goal is to pass along the wisdom from those lessons to give you…
Have You Got Skin in the Game?
I’ve heard that question asked several times in the last few days so twice asked, I knew a blog was coming! I found out that the phrase “having skin in the game” was coined by Warren Buffett. He started out with so little that the seed money for his first stock fund came from others.…
I Missed Widow’s Day
It was National Widow’s Day on May 3rd and I missed it. But, hold on, International Widow’s Day is on June 23rd. I was first amused when I heard about those days, but I found out some great things that were started to honor and care for widows. I know this. God keeps a watchful…
Love is Being an Encourager
“Good Afternoon! Welcome to Moe’s!” Like me, I’m sure you’ve taken notice of the fast food chains and stores whose employees shout out welcoming words when we walk in their doors! It may be scripted, but to me, it’s encouraging! I was noticed! I also recognize it when a salesperson has been taught to be…
What Would the Walls of Your Home Say About You?
I sit here at my dear friends’ kitchen counter in the wee hours of the morning working on my post for this day. There are two little kitchen lamps dimly shining so mostly darkness surrounds me. Then I look across to the other side of the kitchen and there is the lighted manger scene glowing…
The Best TREAT Ever – Happy 96th Birthday, Mom!
Molly and David fell in love, were happily married, and then on October 31st, 1922 God gave this happy couple a precious gift from heaven. It wasn’t a pumpkin or a ghost or a goblin, or any other TRICK. They must have been very, very good because He gave them a very special TREAT! And…
You’ve Got a Friend in Me
With six grandchildren, I’ve watch many animated movies and among my favorites was Toy Story. “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” is the theme song. Maybe we should use it as our own theme song: You’ve got a friend in me. You’ve got a friend in me. You’ve got troubles, and I’ve got ’em too…
