The Sphere of Influence
When our friend heard that we would be going to Nevada to spend time with our cousins and celebrate our BIG 1-year anniversary, he encouraged us to go to Las Vegas’ newest marvel, The Sphere. This architectural wonder, with its state-of-the-art technology and stunning visuals, has quickly become a must-see destination. It captivates audiences, drawing…
Just Do It
Nike’s three little words have certainly had a shelf life that has been strong since 1988. No slogan has come close to making the cultural impact and getting the worldwide acceptance of Nike’s unforgettable phrase. The “Just do it” tagline became one of the biggest ad ideas in history because it spoke to each person…
Being Christian-ish
I’ve never watched the show, but I understand “Black-ish” has to do with children who are not fully one race or another and they have cultural issues about their identity. The name of that show made me wonder if we may be “Christian-ish” — not fully all in as Christians and so we have issues…
Lent Means Course Correction
As a Private Pilot, I have extra help with the notion of “I believe I can fly”. We had a single engine Cessna 182 – a sweet ride. We logged many hours flying across this great country. Though I haven’t flown in a while, I remember some crucially important flight requirements that ensured landing where,…
I Want to be God’s Promotional Display
Ever notice how strategically retailers display items in their store to draw us in? It’s all about them using psychology to grab us and encourage us to spend more on items we didn’t even realize we wanted. Even the height of items matters. Lower items for the kiddos to see and beg for that “must…
Be a Bunyan
We’ve only just begun, that is, Brennan’s High School Senior Year. Monday was the Convocation Ceremonies for Regents School students’, Kindergarten to Grade 12. The stands were full of parents and families. The floor was full of students. And the mamas of the seniors were shedding a few tears. This is the beginning of the…
Our Wheat Crop is Flourishing
My blog for today was inspired from the “wheat” reference in my blog from yesterday. Rather it was the photo graphic I used. The words I added were: “See that graphic of a Wheat field with those affirming words about Who is in control and I’m not?” I purposedly put my name there as a…
Loving from the Inside Out
I attend City Reach church with my children on Sundays. This is a church that focuses on winning people to Christ. The name is the church’s heart — to reach the city of Austin with God’s love. Their goal is 400,000 people coming to Christ. Every service you’ll see hands raised to accept the invitation.…
I’m a Christian — my Cross Proves It
I wear a gold cross around my neck almost every day. It bears memories of my Savior’s death and resurrection that gives me hope for today and tomorrow. I wear it for another reason. My cross and necklace belonged to my sweetheart. He wore it every day. I am aware of my cross’ presence. I…
I Was Hungry and You Fed Me
My Life Group meets at my home every Thursday night. These women are amazing, faith-filled, fully devoted followers of Christ, and I’m inspired by them every week. It seems that God hand-picked our group — each one has unique talents and abilities, and has unique circumstances going on their life, but watching how God answers…
