Living in the Peace Zone
Last Wednesday night, my husband’s beloved Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas, had quite the explosion on campus that set off fires and power outages leading school officials to issue evacuation orders for several buildings and cancel classes for the rest of the week. Texas Tech University was rocked by an explosion, fire, green smoke…
Happy Birthday, Jesus, and Merry Christmas to you and yours! If you’re like me, you’ve planned, shopped, cooked, baked, and today you’re getting to rest on your laurels, or maybe you’re still at it with all-day Christmas activities. For us, the crème de la crème came yesterday –- when we attended two Christmas Eve services.…
As much as I love traveling and soaking in the beauty of places like Puerto Vallarta, there’s nothing quite like coming home. We returned home yesterday! Sweet Home Austin! Home sweet home! Home is where the heart is. There’s no place like home. My happy place. Home, my sanctuary. A place of comfort. Home, my…
Ah! The big picture. Long term thinking. Those are reminders that life insurance agents share with their potential clients. As a matter of fact, my husband works with those who are purchasing life insurance to protect his/her family in the event of an early death. The insured must qualify primarily based on their health status.…
I write this blog today after attending a group meeting that included a yummy Mexican lunch! Was it the dying part that enticed me to go to the meeting or was it the free lunch? Maybe both. At our ripe ages, it is incumbent upon us to consider “What’s Next?” – at least regarding helping…
Happy Birthday, Jesus, and Merry Christmas to you and yours! Maybe you, like me, spent many hours getting to this day – planning, cooking, baking, making gift lists, shopping, planning the Christmas meal and creating a Christmas Wonderland in our homes. We attended Christmas parties, programs, musicals, and two family get togethers as we embraced…
That sounds almost impossible in an age when it’s all talk, talk, talk, giving opinions, and complaining about this and that. Passionate defenders of their opinions shout: “Speak up if you want your voice heard!” The prophet Isaiah gave us inside information about what this day would look like 700 years before Jesus’ birth. “He…
Yesterday I spoke about the privilege of being in the family of God. Did you know an inheritance awaits us in this family? An inheritance is what is rightfully ours for being part of a family. If I am an heir to a multi-billionaire, and he dies, you’d better believe I’ll be there for the…
…..at least for those of us who believe in the hereafter – so much so, that we have no fear because a “See ‘ya later!” here is literally…..just a few short days, months or years and we will meet our loved ones face-to-face. And even better than that…..we will meet our Lord face-to-face! I think…
Okay, I’m not actually thinking about my epitaph (those words written in memory of a person who has died), but I AM desiring to live in a way that when my number is called that I will have left behind some good seeds that I planted. I’m reminded of that when I attend a…
