If I Were God, I Would Have…
Thank goodness we’re not God! Imagine the mess we’d make, driven by our own limited understanding. Garth Brooks had it right: sometimes we have to thank God for unanswered prayers. If every one of my prayers had received a “yes,” I shudder to think where I’d be now. In Isaiah 55:8, God says, “My ways…
Friends in High Places
Garth Brooks struck a chord with his hit, “I’ve Got Friends in Low Places.” The tune might be catchy, but the lyrics? Well, they paint a picture of drowning sorrows in whiskey and beer, hoping that’ll make everything okay. But let’s be honest — does that really sound like the company you’d want to keep?…
Embrace the Set-Ups
I was a widow for thirteen years. During that “season”, a dear friend set me up with one of her clients. She thought he would be a “perfect match” for me. He was a widower of three months, a devout Christian who enjoyed traveling and missions work, and was ready for love again. Not particularly…
If I Were God, I Would Have….
Good thing I’m NOT God because I would have sure messed things up many times over with my ideas, thoughts, and desires. Garth Brooks sang “I thank God for unanswered prayers.” And I agree, I thank God for not answering many of my prayers If He had answered ‘yes’ to many of those prayers, no…
I’ve Got Friends in High Places
My sweet granddaughter, Alexia, and her Yorkie, Emma, have been here with me for the last few days. I always relish this fun girl time (i.e., girl talk, shopping and eating out). One of our mutual enjoyments is a little thrift shopping. I came home with a great stand for my laptop, and she came home with two…
What Was Your Take?
On Wednesday, January 20, 2021 our 46th president was inaugurated. President Joseph R Biden, Jr. is our new Commander in Chief. Another historic moment. Since 1789, when George Washington was unanimously elected our first president and the new U. S. Constitution went into effect and all those years of war, depression, and pandemics, our nation…

Good-Bye Past, But Thanks for the Memories!
I randomly watched the televised Garth Brooks Concert at Notre Dame last week. Impressive, massive crowd to hear him as he was literally “singing in the rain”. When he sang, “I Thank God for Unanswered Prayers”, I’ll admit I had to sit down and watch him AND the camera’s crowd highlights of couples looking into…
I’ve Got Friends in High Places
Garth Brooks sold a lot of records with his song, “I’ve Got Friends in Low Places….where the whiskey drowns, and the beer chases my blues away and I’ll be okay.” Seriously?? Goodness gracious – doesn’t that just make you want to go hang out with those friends? NOT! I started thinking about the “low life”…
May the FORCE in High Places Be With You
Day 190 of Photo Inspirations — May the FORCE in HIGH PLACES Be With You Okay — I admit it. I’m addicted to attending church — Protestant, Catholic, Interdenominational….bring it on! There is no greater high, in my opinion, than hanging out with God’s family. Here’s why: We have so many things in common: we…
