These are the Moments
It isn’t the money in my wallet or the car I drive or home I live in. It isn’t the TV show that makes me laugh or the movie I see that inspires me. Nothing can compare with the priceless gratitude moments that represent my favorite things. As I was writing this blog after just…
Was Jesus at Your Table?
This day after Thanksgiving comes with relaxation for those that poured their hearts and souls into their grand Thanksgiving feast day. They prepared for the day — baking, cooking, cleaning up – with the best part that makes it all worth it, being so thankful to serve and embrace family time together. Relaxation on this…
Thankful is an Understatement
Happy Thanksgiving! I am so grateful for YOU, my beloved family and friends who are ever-afters. What are “ever-afters”? Those are the ones who aren’t with us for just a day, just a reason, or just a season. Ever-afters are those who we grab their hand and shoulder-to-shoulder, heart to heart live our lives with…
As the Deer Pants for the Water
After time in Frisco and Tulsa, my journey was six hours southeast to Rusk, TX. That’s where Epiphany Ranch is located. The 62 acres permanently house women who have had tremendous life changes and they carry on there in supporting and helping meet the goals of the ministry to help as many other people as…
It’s Good to be Back Home
John Denver sang “Hey, it’s good to be back home again!” And Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, said, “There’s no place like home!” And, I’m singing and saying that today! Whether it’s a day, a week, or a month away from it — there’s just no place like home. Whew! I’m typing this blog…
What Do You Have as Reminders?
So I have several different and beloved crosses that my husband gave me. I wear them often – especially the one that was his. They are my “bumper stickers”. I want to be known as a Christian. Seeing the cross, just might cause someone to ask me to pray with them about something. Those crosses…
Good Morning, Lord!
I captured this photo at Epiphany Ranch here in East Texas. Buddy (the family’s 85-pound Australian Shepherd) has been my constant and faithful companion while I’ve been here – just like the days in Frisco when I would care for him and his 5-pound Yorkie sister when the family was away. I’ve been here a…
The Perfect Dates
Our family from Canada headed back north yesterday. While here, they took in the sun, had great family time, enjoyed shopping sprees, and prepared for the snow that remains and is hopefully starting to melt as the temperatures rise in Winnipeg. And, I, headed northeast to Rusk to help my daughter move into their new…
Probing and Examining
Yesterday was the 2nd Sunday of Lent. We’re still in the time of examining our hearts and minds as we make our way to Easter. We are desiring a “clean” bill of spiritual health from our Heavenly Physician, Father God. Yesterday at Epiphany Ranch (my children’s personal and ministry property), I was beyond blessed to…
Breaking Out of the Safe & Warm Space
Over the years, I knew what breaking out of the comfort zone was because I was married to a risk-taker kind-of-guy. Some risks paid off and some didn’t, but it was the two of us, so it made an “It Takes Two” mindset for stepping out and going for it. We were big thinkers and…
