What a Ride!
Last Monday, Labor Day — instead of grilling burgers or napping in a hammock, Carl and I decided to shake things up. No “same-oh, same-oh.” We took ourselves on a field trip to the Bullock Texas State History Museum in Austin — and oh my, what a ride through time! Carl’s from Lubbock, I’m from…
Where Two Shall Agree
My sweet husband thrives on fellowship — whether it’s church on Sunday, Bible study during the week, going out to eat with friends or gathering at a house church where 50–75 people crowd in for a meal, music, testimonies, and the joy of being together. For him, the more the merrier! But really, Jesus was…
May Jesus Be Seen in Me — In Spite of Me
A dear friend shared words with me that stopped me in my tracks: “May Jesus be seen in me, in spite of me.” Isn’t that the truth? Because let’s be honest, sometimes “me” gets in the way. My impatience can flare up quicker than my smile. My opinion can jump out of my mouth before…
Show Me the Truth — Don’t Just Speak It
Don’t you just love those “aha” moments? That’s what I experienced when I read this scripture: “Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?” At that time Jesus cured many of their diseases, sufferings, and evil spirits; He also granted sight to many who were blind. And Jesus said…
Not Burdensome, But Joyful
“And His commandments are not burdensome — for whoever is begotten by God conquers the world.” 1 John 5:4 Don’t you love those words? “Not burdensome” and “begotten by God”? That’s you and me — produced by God Himself. Talk about having the best label ever — forget “Made in China” or “Made in the…
There Will Be Miracles
I’m still basking in the glow of all the birthday love — thank you, dear family and friends, for making me feel so celebrated! But today I’m carrying that gratitude forward with a reminder that lifts my heart every time I see it: “There will be miracles.” I bought that sign years ago. It still…
Moving on Up
I’ve determined to move on up — up out of the grumbling and complaining about the stuff that matters so little. Yes, I am moving on up in age — but really age is just a number. Yikes! Where did the years go? First, thank you for all the kind and loving words and messages…
I’m Still Here – and I’m So Grateful
This is the day the Lord made ME, and I’m so grateful He did. Not that I’m leaving this earth any time soon, I’ve told my family that I want the song by Cece Winans “I Will Sing of the Goodness of God”, to be sung at my Celebration of Life – which will be…
Blessings That Chase Us Down
I read this promise yesterday and it stopped me in my tracks: “If you faithfully obey the voice of the LORD your God and are careful to follow all His commandments — all these blessings will come upon you and overtake you, if you obey the voice of the LORD your God.” — Deuteronomy 28:1-2…
Breaker – Breaker 1-9
“Got a copy?” “How do you read me?” “Got your ears on?” If you were around in the 70s or 80s, you’ll recognize those words as good old CB (Citizens Band) radio talk. And yes — I was a CB-er! My handle? “Honeybee.” I’d buzz across the airwaves and say to a trucker, “You’ve got…
