Out of the Mouths of Babes
I love seeing my young mama friends proudly show off their babies in milestone photos – at two weeks, one month, two months, etc. Every picture radiates love, joy, and a whole lot of sleepless nights. But despite the exhaustion, they dote on those little ones with unwavering devotion — as they should. These precious…
Unite — NOT Divide and Conquer
I am enjoying a “united” effort as I continue to work at the voting polls with people from both sides of the aisle. Of course, we can’t speak about politics in a room filled with voters who are of different persuasions than each other. But is it about that or is it because we respect…
Our Journey Beyond Borders
Our voyage through eastern Canada has been filled with wonderful sights, sounds, and plenty of opportunities to meet fellow travelers. The last two days in Sydney and Halifax, Nova Scotia, have been particularly memorable. However, the high points of faith always take center stage in my mind. Just yesterday, we commemorated Jesus’ ascension to heaven,…
HE LIVES! Good Resurrection Morning!
I wrote this blog yesterday. I was already singing an old hymn that I sang as a child. It resonated in my heart. This is my theme song for this majestic Easter morning! “I serve a risen Savior. He’s in the world today.I know that He is living, Whatever men may say.I see His hand…
Jesus Loves Me This I Know
I’m revving my engine — mentally and physically. My personal, physical engine had a routine colonoscopy yesterday! I kept thinking while I was surviving all the prep work: “How could I have scheduled this procedure at this time of year?” “Wow! Let’s get another colonoscopy next week!” – said no one EVER! For goodness sakes…
I’m Snuggling into my Comforter
A comforter is a thick bed covering that is filled with a soft light material. A comforter is also someone who helps us feel less worried, upset, or frightened. I do a lot of traveling and that means sleeping in beds that don’t compare to MY bed at home. When I get home to my…

Time to Feel Good About How Well We Obey
Okay! None of us enjoy someone telling us what to do all the time. I’ve heard plenty of jokes about the hen-pecked man who cowers at his towering, overbearing wife. Seems he would rather “obey” her than deal with the consequences. But, really, most people don’t like being told what to do. Especially as we…
His Assets My Pleasure
Last week my trip to Tulsa included a visit with friends in the community I lived in prior to my move to Frisco. Sharon and I joined up for an early morning walk as we did so often when I lived there. We recalled praying for our community on those walks and called our Hyde…
Won’t You Be My Neighbor?
I’m continuing on in my “We Need Each Other” campaign. I was inspired recently when I ran across a FB post that asked, “Remember this guy?” with a photo of this sharp looking, well-dressed man. Yes, I remember this really cool dude that greeted us daily on TV, Mr. Rogers. I apologize to you young’uns’…
