Is it in my Genes?
I had three siblings who graduated to heaven; two of them had Alzheimer’s disease and the other had Diabetes so severe that she lost one foot to the disease. My Mom, now in heaven, had congenital heart disease. My Dad, also in heaven, had a malignant brain tumor. Goodness gracious! With that family medical history,…
A Soldier for the King
Being a soldier of Christ is not for the faint of heart. My camouflage uniform and combat boots (figuratively speaking) are worn out. Lord, can I please be a soldier of chocolate or sleep today? I am at my desk while trying to fight off all the useless questions we like to ask God in…
Bear Grylls and His Great Faith Adventure
Like me, maybe you are a fan of Bear Grylls and his MAN VS. WILD show. I saw this article on the “Movieguide” email that I receive daily. Put the word “faith” in a headline and I am the curiosity seeker to find out if the source is true blue! BEAR GRYLLS has become known…
Designed for Connection
I gave my youngest grandson a Lego Millenium Star Wars set with hundreds of pieces in it for his birthday. My mind just about went “tilt” when I saw how complex it would be to put those pieces together to make sense of that photo on the box. But the next time I went to…
Happy St. Patrick’s Day
Do you have your “green” on? After all, it’s St. Patrick’s Day and who wants to get pinched? Actually, I’ve been celebrating this day since March 1st when I changed out my Valentine’s door shelf décor to St. Patrick’s Day décor. There’s a “Happy St. Patrick’s Day sign”, a small statute of St. Patrick and…
Excel
So I finished my year-end bookkeeping for my tax returns. Yay! I use my Quickbook app to post all my credits and debits. AND, I transfer the totals into my EXCEL app for sending the info to my accountant. That EXCEL app prompted today’s blog. EXCEL means to perform exceptionally well in an activity or…
Fair Weather is for Sissies!
Years ago, as a private pilot, I only piloted the airplane if the skies were clear and winds were light. They called me a “fair weather” pilot. I know – sissy-girl attitude, but I preferred easy-going to my destination with a trouble-free landing. That’s why I was partial to being the co-pilot for my “any…
Brand New Year. Brand New Life.
It’s a brand-new year — 2023! And best, news, ever……according to 2 Corinthians 5:17 “This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!” If only that were true when it comes to poor health, broken hearts, sad songs, relationship debacles and…
Stop, Look and Go Tell
For a short while on Friday, I allowed myself to get caught up in the holiday traffic frenzy and search out Christmas sales that included long check-out lines. I really endeavored to be “holly jolly” with my best attitude while keeping “all is calm, and all is bright” in my heart! We’re officially in the…
Living Our Faith Out Loud
In an election voting location, it is required that the poll workers (the judges, the clerks, etc.) be equal party affiliations. Republicans and Democrats working side-by-side. Imagine that! If we were in a debate, we would, more than likely, have opposing opinions about who our next Texas Governor, Mayor or other party leaders should be.…
