This is Just a Chapter
“Well, this is a fine mess!” Isn’t that what we think when life throws us for a loop? Like we’ve stumbled into the wrong chapter of our own story. But hang tight, because shattered dreams are the very pages God uses to write the most incredible comebacks! We’ve all been there—broken relationships, financial upheavals, health…
Happy St. Patrick’s Day
I am wearing “green” today! After all, it’s St. Patrick’s Day and the most important thing about this day is that we wear green, so we don’t get pinched!! NOT! I am also wearing my Celtic cross! It is said that the Celtic cross was introduced by St Patrick, who was attempting to convert the…
Unlimited Possibilities
This handsome young man is my godson, Owen Thomas Anderson. To say I am blessed to be his godmother, puts it mildly. A significant milestone for him took place last Friday night when he graduated from Bishop Kelley High School in Tulsa, OK. I made it a point to be there to witness it and…
Stuck in a Rut or Hole?
Has it felt that way for you? You’ve tried to get out of the rut or the hole, but it seems Gorilla glue has you stuck in a place that has paralyzed your creativity, motivation and determination. A while ago, I posted a photo of a man slumped-in-his-chair with a drink in hand. The tagline…
The Sky is Falling. Oh, No, it’s Not!
Remember the story of Chicken Little? Chicken Little was having a great day when an acorn fell from a tree, hitting the top of her head and she cries out: “The sky is falling! The sky is falling!” Proverbs 4:23 says “Be careful what you think, because your thoughts run your life.” Isn’t that so…
The Year We Came Together
To my future grandchildren and great grandchildren: WOW! What a year 2020 was! Before the BIG “C-Virus”, our world was so divided. There were literal wars and political wars beyond belief. So many people were selfish and talked so bad to and about each other. The heroes before the C-virus were the highly paid professional…
Happy New Year! Let’s Be Front-Liners!
I am amped up about this new year! I share these words that I texted my children yesterday. Since I’ve attained the “wiser, older” status with all these years under my belt, I get to pour it on — believing they are words straight from heaven-central: “Praise God. I am so excited for 2020. I…
Train Them Up in the Way They Should Go
From the very start of her life, our daughter was loud. I mean crying-out-loud loud. When she was a baby, she cried because she was a very sick baby and later when she realized she had a brother that loved to annoy her, she was loud with her shrills and squeals when he as much…
Going GREEN on St. Patrick’s Day!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Do you have your “green” on? After all, it’s St. Patrick’s Day and who wants to get pinched? I’m told I’m 1/16th Irish so I’m wearing my Claddagh Irish ring and I’m wearing my sweetheart’s St. Patrick’s cross necklace that he wore almost all the time. He loved St. Patrick and…
Who is Trevor Lawrence, Anyway?
My son texted me on Tuesday: “Good morning! I love you! Wow, did Alabama get stomped!” My reply, without looking at the score of the Clemson/Alabama championship game, was “They sure did. I’m sure they were humbled.” Actually, I didn’t see the game. Once Oklahoma was out, so was I. But, subsequently I did check…
