Happy Second Day of Fall, Ya’ll!
Oops! Yesterday, September 23rd, was the official start of the Fall season! How could I miss it? It’s my favorite season. I’m already craving pumpkin spice coffee, harvest smells and big smiles that come from saying “good-bye” to those 100+ temperatures we have weathered this summer. I just read that next week’s highs will be…
Have a Wonderful Day!
I am a follower of Dr. Jim Denison’s daily “Denison Forum” blogs. First I was taken with his photo of the bouquet of sunflowers, which, as most know were the theme of our wedding and a month later, a reception given to us by our children. Then, as I read his blog, it resonated with…
My One Determined Purpose
Once upon a time, my one determined purpose was to be the best daughter, mom, wife, Bible teacher/leader, employee, and friend. I would like to say that my best was accomplished, but I fell short in many ways. Now, I’m in the season of desiring to know my Lord like the Apostle Paul expressed: “For…
Never a Dull Moment with God
On the heels of my blog yesterday about God-moments, today I offer you Part Two — the “Never Dull Moments with God!” If we are bored and see each day as just another same-o, same-o day, then we don’t realize the extravagant measures God takes to entertain us! The song title: “Let Me Entertain You”…
Just a Moment, Please!
Ever have a representative speak those words and it was way more than a moment until they returned to the call, or to the check-out stand? Moments are sometimes much longer than said, but they can be instantaneous in a “God” moment! I was a “single” teenager (age 17), but in one, “I now pronounce…
I am Amazed
I’ve seen way too much evidence that God is NOT dead, and He sees me right where I am today, and I know His love for me is vast. I’ve experienced way too many of God’s blessings, and I know they didn’t come to me by happenstance or coincidence. I’ve been loved so much that…
Not Missing God’s Invitations
How thankful we are to have finished a successful estate sale at Carl’s home! Three days of crowds who were welcomed and immediately heard beautiful sounds of K-Love’s Christian music playing in the background. Many people said: “I love your music!” We sold that vintage stereo system with its Hi-Fi, double cassette player, 5-CD player,…
Can’t You Feel It? The Feeling is Everywhere!
Those are some of the words to David Foster’s theme song of the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Alberta. We were there and we felt it from our vantage point at the Opening and Closing Ceremonies where our daughter was a soloist and member of the Coca Cola World Chorus. Indeed we were inspired in…
Bravery — NOT Bravado
Bravado is (per Oxford Dictionary) “a bold manner or a show of boldness intended to impress or intimidate.” Bravery has been an emotion in my world many times. It takes bravery to live in tornado country. It takes bravery to stand alone. It takes bravery to walk into a crowded room filled with high profile…
Living Life in a Glass House
I am passionate about blogging. It is my daily priority. It is my first-thing every morning when my mind is clear of yesterday’s stuff. If you have followed me for any time, you’ll recognize that I am a “tell all”. I can’t help myself. My everyday activities give me plenty to blog about. I am…
