Living in the Peace Zone
Carl and I arrived in Cabo San Lucas on Tuesday, thanks to our incredibly thoughtful children. Carl’s daughter said, “We want you to enjoy yourselves on trips like this as long as you can.” And my son said, “Mom, stay at our place (a beautiful home that was built for them and their family —…
There’s nothing quite like celebrating our anniversary surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of God’s creation here in Puerto Vallarta. The lush palm trees swaying gently in the ocean breeze, vibrant flowers painting the landscape with color, and the sounds of tropical birds singing their joyful songs remind me of how wonderfully creative our God is.…
Drum roll please…….today, March 20th, is officially the first day of Spring, And, yesterday, Sunday, I came out — outside, that is. It was a glorious, sun-shiny day. Just knowing that today is the first day of Spring made me want to go out and about. Yesterday was the last day of Austin’s SXSW –…

I’m sitting here in Tulsa at Mom’s breakfast table, looking out at the 17th fairway of the golf course, but what captured my attention was the little sparrows jumping from limb to limb in the huge tree that she and Dad planted 25 years ago. Those little sparrows are having a hay-day chirping, playing and…
So I’m back to living out loud with my family, but that sure doesn’t hinder me from keeping my eyes wide open for God moments. I took Brennan to his baseball practice at 6:30 pm. This photo of the western skies doesn’t do it justice. They were the reddest red, exploding with “the beauty and…
