Happy Thanks-giving and Grateful for Thanks-Living
Happy Thanksgiving! I’m so thankful for YOU! I’m thankful you’re my friend, family member or casual acquaintance, but the fact that you may read my daily blogs from time to time, humbles me, and encourages me to keep on doing what I know God called me to do. THANK YOU for your love! I’m so…
It’s Okay to Call Out for Help
I was inquisitive enough to read “The Pilgrim’s Progress” over the last couple of days. Allegories aren’t my forte, but I did understand “Christian” was looking for the Celestial City throughout. I’m so visual that I needed technicolor and visual characters to help me grasp it. So, I rented the 2019 animated version on Amazon…
Getting Our House in Order
When my father-in-law was diagnosed with melanoma cancer, the doctors stated, at the most, he’d have only a few months to live. Dad was a strong man of faith (besides an evangelical pastor for over 50 years) and just wouldn’t accept that “death” threat. He remembered Isaiah 38:1-7 where Hezekiah, too, was giving a death…
Faith Crisis? Don’t Stop Now. You’re Almost There.
I have many friends who are facing a faith crisis — some in their health, their finances, their relationships and/or simply fear for what the future holds. After all, if we watched and listened to the news long enough, and believed it – we could all take a tail spin. It’s not that we don’t…
??A Tribute to my Beloved Sister??
Because she’s alive and well and it’s her birthday! Tributes to those we love generally come after they have passed on. I can’t wait to give that tribute because, quite frankly, I may get my heavenly-orders before she gets hers. One advantage of marrying young has been that I have had many years, not only…
It’s Not Easy – But It Is Sure Worth It
I’m here in Austin where we had a sweet Father’s Day with my son and family. My son is a terrific father and I like to think that he is because of his dad who loved him so much and modeled a loving father and mentor to him. Father’s Day prompted the memories of so…
God Help Me! My Routine Went AWOL!
Routine: sequence of actions regularly followed; a fixed program, practice, pattern, regimen, plan, habits, schedule My routine, first thing each morning, is to send a text message to my children, and my sister-in-law. Just a few love words to let them know that I was thinking about them and praying for them. My next morning…
Mary, Did You Know?
My claim to fame….if it weren’t for me — my children wouldn’t be. And God needed a vessel — one He favored above ALL women — to be the Mother of Jesus. He chose Mary to BE the First Lady of our Faith. She was found faithful. And what faith she had! She was the…
A Lion, A Bear, A Big Dude = Promotion
A couple of days ago, I shared about young David and his ability to withstand the taunts and threats of the giant, but all it took was confidence and knowing who he was as God’s representative (That giant was messing with the wrong guy!), and he took down that giant in one fell swoop! That…
Go Big or Go Home OR Little is Much When God is in it?
Today, BIG everything seems like such a BIG deal. Just go into a 7-Eleven store in Texas and they’ve got the Super “Big Gulp” Drinks, Oklahomans have Quik Trip where the drinks are the “BIG Q” drinks. Go into some fast food restaurant and we’re invited to SUPER SIZE our fries and drinks. There are…
