Friends in High (and Tulsa) Places
Yesterday, Carl and I made the road trip to Tulsa — my old stomping grounds for over 40 years — to hug the necks of dear friends who’ve walked some of life’s winding roads with me. Oh, the memories we rolled back! Weddings, babies, healings, answered prayers, and those precious late-night talks that seemed to…
We Were There — Opry100!
Oh, what a night! The Grand Ole Opry’s 100th Birthday Celebration was everything we hoped it would be — and more. Before the doors even opened, we sat outside by the grand stage under a perfect Tennessee sky, snapping photos, soaking up the golden glow of evening, and thanking God for such a just right…
Where Two Shall Agree
My sweet husband thrives on fellowship — whether it’s church on Sunday, Bible study during the week, going out to eat with friends or gathering at a house church where 50–75 people crowd in for a meal, music, testimonies, and the joy of being together. For him, the more the merrier! But really, Jesus was…
Living on the Light Side
Our neighborhood is well-lit—motion sensors flicker on whenever someone walks by. It’s a comforting reminder of how light dispels darkness, both literally and spiritually. After the Christmas season time-out, our Women’s Wednesday Night Bible Study is well underway at our church. It gives me so much joy to be in a group of women of…
Intimacy “In-To-Me-See”
The last two days I’ve been blogging about “coming clean” in our lives, even to the point of having a heavenly spotlight that reveals the crud inside us. AND, that is opening up the “cover-ups”! That is called intimacy — in-to-me-see! So how can anyone “see into” us with our dreams, hopes and desires unless…
Excuse me. Do you have a minute?
Do you have intimidating people in your life who make you feel a little “less than” when you need a few minutes of their time? After all, they’re busy people and you don’t want to distract them from their project at hand. I have several people like that in my life and to protect the…
Pot Luck or Pot Blessings?
This is a photo from our Thanksgiving Pot Luck/Pot Blessings or in the words of a friend, our eat-a-thon meal yesterday. It is amazing how diverse we are in all areas of life, yet we have gratitude, friendship and true concern for each other in common. It’s true — variety is the spice of of…
Pot Luck or Pot Blessings — It’s About Hospitality
I am an experienced “Pot Luck” covered-dish toter. I can’t begin to tell you how many covered dishes, salads, main dishes and desserts I have made over the many years of my church-going or friends-celebrating-together life. And less I offend some of my sweet Bible-toting friends with the “luck” part of pot luck, I also…
Where Two Shall Agree….
I’m in my cozy chair all set for my morning devotion and prayer time and I remember the sweetest surprise last weekend. My dear friends, Charles and Sheila Michie, invited several mutual friends over for a pot luck meal. Little did I realize it was a set-up to celebrate my birthday (26th). I was so…
