Keep on Knocking
Saturday night, I was sound asleep when I heard pounding on the back door of my children’s home. Then my phone rang. It was my grandson. He was locked out. I had checked my 360 app before I fell asleep (it was late) and it indicated he was home. But, I didn’t realize that he…
Gimme That Childlike Faith
Yesterday, I blogged about the mighty giants who our children can be in today’s times. Today, I’m talking about wanting to go back to having that childlike faith again that loved those flannel board stories of a little shepherd boy who conquered a giant with a sling and a stone. I want that giant-conquering mentality…
Don’t You Tell Me God Can’t Do It
Last weekend could not have been more exhilarating and memorable. I rolled back the curtain of many treasured memories that sparked undaunted faith for miracles. Don’t you tell me God can’t answer prayer! I have proof positive from just a couple of days of “raising hallelujahs” for what God has done. Hopefully, I’ll increase your…
Are You Buff, Toned, and Muscle-Bound?
Me? No! My grandsons? Oh. My. Soul. They are muscular hunks. The oldest is a body builder and competes at an extreme level. And the youngest two spend one to two hours a day in the gym. They are athletes and working out is a regimen that gives them confidence and super athletic abilities. And…
Mountain! You’ve Gotta’ Move!
That’s me in this photo at the Cascade Mountains of Washington. I know mountains. I’ve climbed them. I’ve gazed at their beauty from a distance. I’ve skied down them. I’ve driven the winding roads to the top of them and embraced the beauty from the top looking down. And I know MOUNTAINS — those vast,…
In God We Trust
We trust technology. We trust the pilot of our plane. We trust the pharmacist. We trust our doctor. We sort of trust the weather person. We sort of trust our car salesman. We sort of trust God! Yikes! I don’t like that last sentence, because of who and what we trust…..trusting God should be the…
She’s Getting a New Heart Today
You may remember a blog I wrote on May 4th this year. I shared about the valiant walk of faith that some of my dear Tulsa sisters-in-Christ were taking on behalf of another beloved sister-in-Christ, Becky Holder. Becky must have a heart transplant, but finding a match has been quite the wait. Literally, these resilient…
Happy July 4th — We are Free Because of Thee
Happy Birthday, America! Today, we celebrate the freedom that we take for granted on most days. Many have sacrificed their lives for this country so the rest of us can rest each night — safe and fairly certain of what tomorrow will bring. I don’t want this blog today to just be a casual reminder,…
Enough Already
I write this blog today with dear friends on my heart. One is still in the hospital after months, waiting for a heart transplant. I have a nephew and a cousin who are dealing with the potential loss of their eyesight. And others who are facing major financial issues from the loss of work during…
Fearless because Dad can be Trusted
I drove up to my children’s RV at the KOA camp in Rusk and there was a little boy, maybe two years old, kicking the thunder out of a plastic ball to his mom. She would kick it back to him and, unafraid, he’d kick it back again. I called out: “Are you going to…
