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…
Bringing our Gifts of Worship
I love that my children, Staci and Larry, named their 60+ acres ranch, Epiphany Ranch. Epiphany was the name of my husband’s missions and message ministry for many years. They are carrying on the family legacy in action and my son, Ryan, carries on as President of the ministry corporation. It does this wife and…
Our Home on the Range Christmas
Tuesday, the 23rd I traveled to Rusk TX to celebrate a sweet and tender Christmas with Larry, Staci, Payton, and Alexia. The beautiful Epiphany Ranch gated entry welcomed me, followed by corn-hole gaming, laughter that Payton and I were winning big time, when Larry’s big final last pitch effort, carried he and Staci to victory.…
Making Course Changes
My grandson, Payton, inspired this blog today. We’ve been packing up his family’s home for their move to Rusk, TX. Lots of course changes for this crew. All the birds have left the nest. Alexia, who loves Frisco, her many friends there, and she loves being a barista at a trendy coffee shop (and her…
Let the Tree Inspire You
I saw my daughter’s FB post a couple of weeks ago about what appeared to be a dead tree on their property and how they wouldn’t give up on it. They didn’t let the appearance of it defer their hope for life to still be in it. “The day we signed the papers on Epiphany…
Only a Walking Stick will be Needed
See these photos of me with my walking stick? This was at Epiphany Ranch in Rusk, TX where my children are laying the ground-work (literally) for the future location for a retreat center and homes built for restoring people’s lives. This day, we were dedicating the property to God for His use and our commitment…
