Time for Boxing
Christmas Day was special for us at Epiphany Ranch, and then the day after, the 26th, after a yummy brisket lunch, we headed home to celebrate Christmas with our Canadian family members who have been here celebrating our American holiday traditions. Them being here reminds me of Canada’s statutory holiday on December 26th called Boxing…
My Christmas Gift to You
The Birthday Party is over – or is it? Maybe the party just got started! Jesus’ birthday isn’t one day only. It is a party that goes on from here to eternity. Jesus has been celebrated by those of us who believe in Him. For others, He has been tolerated because many think Christmas is…
Was Jesus an Invited Guest at Your Table?
Oh, yes, He was and is and will forever be! Our most welcomed and invited family member – our big Brother. I remember when my big brother would come home, pick me up and give me the biggest bear hug. My big brother was my idol. He always (no matter our ages) introduced me as…
Thanksgiving Starts With “Thank You”!
A BIG jumbo sized “THANK YOU”, Lord, for our Dallas Cowboys’ win over Washinton yesterday. What a great time we had cheering for our team! I know that sounds trivial, especially in the light of many who are in a world of hurt today, But, why shouldn’t we be THANKFUL in ALL things? Carl and…
Enjoying Billowy Cloud Cover
Our trip to East Texas and Epiphany Ranch didn’t disappoint! We took advantage of the wonderful, somewhat cooler temperatures. We went to see my sweet cousin, Mary Ellen Snow, who moved to Tyler, TX from Frisco, TX. We were neighbors in Frisco, buds in Tulsa and Dallas before that. It looks like the cousins still…
God’s Creation Can Be Unruly
Carl has “deer” issues. He put out an array of flowers in big pots around his home. The next day, he went out to check his plantings. Many of the flowers — gone. He knew the culprits were the deer who thrive in his neighborhood. This community has many homes and cars that move about.…
The Man and the Legend
It is an honor, on this 9th day of June, to celebrate my “other” son. Yes, I have one son by birth and the “other” son was God’s gift to my daughter, Staci, their two children, Payton and Alexia, ME and so many others look up to him, his wisdom, and his tender and loving…
Staying on Course
My East Texas family was in high gear last weekend. They had been working diligently at their newly acquired eight acres just down the road from where their 62 acres of land at Epiphany Ranch is located. This new parcel of land will be home to one of their team members and her family. In…
The EMwomen Hope House
Once a long-distance runner, running miles a day in preparation for another half-marathon, I have since retired from those long distances. But I’m still in it to win it! I have ran/walked several 5K’s to support various teams or organizations. The first 5K was the Route 66 in Tulsa and was in honor of my…
Epiphany Sunday and I had an Epiphany
Today is Epiphany Sunday. I love those words: “Wise men (and women) still seek Him.” It is an EPIPHANY when one soul seeks Him and finds Him. And when we find Him, we find more than we ever imagined. For in Jesus Christ, we find forgiveness, inward peace and joy, today, and the promises of…
