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…
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…
