Thanks to our Heroes of Faith
In my blog yesterday, I spoke about the holy and faithful ones that the Apostle Paul wrote to in his letter to the Colossians. I should have added to that blog “Happy November”and “Happy All Saints Day! What a great start to this beautiful “Thanksgiving” month with talking about our HEROES of faith! All Saints…
To the Holy and Faithful Ones
Those words jumped out at me when I read Colossians 1:1-8, “To the holy ones and faithful brothers and sisters in Christ.” Holy and faithful! That sounds as if the Colossians were doing well. They were doing their best to live as disciples in a secular world. And, for the most part, they were succeeding.…
Wisdom from Trial and Error
Of all the things that we did wrong, we did some things right. For example – in teaching our children to be brave, faith-filled, optimistic, daring, strong and responsible human beings. I’d like to think that my young husband and I did everything right, but without a doubt, a lot fell through the cracks because…
Our Fall & Winter Wardrobe Reveal
I was proud to say that I had two walk-in closets at my place. Yesiree! This gal needs two closets – one for my Spring/Summer wardrobe and one for my Fall/Winter clothes. Oh, but enters a godly and dear man into my world and I lose one of those closets. Now, the off-season clothes live…
Are You a Pumpkin Eater?
Yesterday the 26th, right at the first of the Fall season, was National Pumpkin Day. I am blogging about it after the fact because I saw this info after I posted yesterday’s blog. I read that it takes an acre to harvest 1,000 pumpkins. At 7 cents a pound for an average 20-pound pumpkin, the…
Listening for His Voice Matters
My Canadian cousin was here in Austin last week so I missed seeing him because Carl and I were on our honeymoon. We made it home late Sunday night and early Monday morning we were both headed to the election polls where we serve in this Early Voting election process. So, we never could connect…
Sacred Moments at the Well
Every morning, I’m up and at ‘em by 4:30 am. It’s a must to look over the text of my blog one more time before I hit the “post” button. I’m like clock-work with my daily deliveries – on FB, my Google blogger page and MyPeaceZone.com. I always feel like I’m “reporting for duty” each…
Playing with Fire
Still on our honeymoon in beautiful Puerto Vallarta, we are taking it all in! On this night we saw brave people playing with fire. It was a fire show on the beach just after sunset — a sight to behold. How do they keep themselves from being burned? Yikes! U I amuse myself as God…
With All My Heart
In these photos you will see all employees and workers throughout Vidanta in Puerto Vallarta — maids, waiters, concierges, ride arrangers, etc. — place their hand on their heart as we approach them. Right from our first day here, we noticed this gesture. It impressed me so much that I am blogging about it today.…
So Privileged
My heart goes out to so many in this world who have lost their homes, their security, their families, and their peace. It makes me even more grateful to live in America where we are so privileged while in other areas of the world, so many are under-privileged. Lord, please come to their aid. Lord,…
