Taking the Faith Plunge
I know that most of my blog followers are “faith” people. Those are the folks who have read about faith, practiced faith, built their faith up and have seen the merits of exercising faith. Everything God wants to do in our lives, He does so based on faith. And, btw, if you aren’t a “faith”…
Things Kids Really Want to Inherit
Things Kids Really Want to Inherit This blog was inspired by a friend who told me her garage is filled with “stuff” and she finds it hard to let go of it all because her kids may want some of those things. I told her I was so grateful for downsizing and to be living…
Beauty is in the Heart of the Beholder
I’m still basking in the beauty of God’s creation that never ceases to amaze me. This week it is in the exotic location of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico where my family and I are celebrating spring break and God’s faithfulness to us. I’m so grateful to be a part of this experience where we have…
Recalibration Time
Last night a dear Tulsa friend and I had our own private Zoom call. We were celebrating the blessings of having been brought together in a Life Group that I led for nearly four years there. This call and our recollections showed us how far we’ve come in our faith in God’s faithfulness. We talked…
Don’t Quit Mid-Stream — Go for the Big Picture
A dear friend’s FB post inspired me to write this blog. So many frustrations and disappointments held her captive to the present, the distorted, out-of-focus picture of today’s struggles. I get it. Sometimes it seems all hell has broken loose and we struggle to breathe in the midst of the heat — not thinking about…

Go Tell It On The Mountain
It’s the third Sunday of Advent and it’s time we should sing that song “Go Tell It on the Mountain”! Well — not necessarily from a mountain — that would mean we’d have to go climbing! Perhaps we can start right here on level ground to be joyful and full of the good news of…
God’s Faithfulness is New Every Morning
I often take a meal to Mom’s for us to share and “catch up” on what’s going on in our little corner of the world. Last week, we had our usual conversation, drew cards from her Bread of Life Promise Box which contains various scriptures, which by the way, she has all memorized. I started…
Pennies From Heaven
When I was almost to Austin on Monday, Ryan called to ask me to meet up with him at a business in downtown where he was in a meeting. While I was with him at the business meeting, I went into the ladies room and I was amazed when I saw the floor. It was…
He Didn’t Say “Yes, Dear!”
Day 221 of Photo Inspirations — He Didn’t Say “Yes, Dear!” #TBT We were married just a couple of months when a friend convinced us we needed to let him send his vacuum cleaner salesman over to show us his “super duper electric dirt scooper” — the AMAZING Filter Queen. Being friends who cared about…
