I Voted. I’m Glad I Did.
I did it! I voted in the Early Voting polls. I am also working in the polls. I have been blown away by the turnout of voters. I knew there would be a flurry of voters coming through our doors, but I didn’t imagine the numbers would be so great! By the way, Texans, you…
That Precious Rocking Chair
I no longer have a rocking chair because its usefulness was over, but it meant the world to me at one time. Oh, the joy I experienced in that rocker. I sat and rocked in it and sang sweet love songs to each of my babies and grandbabies. I’d kiss their soft cheeks and take…
Live Fear-LESS
Fearless in these days and times? Get real, girl! Who can be fearless when the smallest fear (like a snake in a flowerbed — that was my daughter a few days ago) to a friend’s upcoming major surgery or another friend’s livelihood being challenged after yet another setback keeps them from being able to earn…
Not Mine But Yours
“For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.” (Matthew 6:13) How’s that for putting our souls at ease? God is THE ONE in control – no matter what! So, let’s bid Him a sweet “Good night, Lord” and sleep like a baby! “Easy for you to say”, you might be…
It’s Time to Trust God More Than Ever
Trust doesn’t come easy for everyone – especially when we listen to skeptics and anti-faith dealers. I am not a frequent news watcher, but because my dear husband is a strong proponent in our election process, he stays tuned into politics and most important info hitting the airwaves. Often, I’ll lend my ear to what…
Chocolate and Kindness Dealers

Yum! Surely heaven will include seeing Jesus face-to-face, streets of gold, AND chocolate! Heavenly delicacies. Chocolate — that SWEET, savory, God-given, delicacy of…

An Insatiable Desire for Advent
Today is the first Sunday of Advent. The first candle lit on the Advent wreath symbolizes HOPE. I HOPE that my attention to this time will cause an insatiable desire for leaning into the real reason for the season. Even in the midst of busyness, we can have an insatiable desire to take time to…
Honey in the Rock
In yesterday’s blog, I spoke about the natural craving we should have for God’s Word – like a baby craves his mama’s milk. His mama’s milk gives him the sustenance and nutrition he needs for life. How beautiful — God’s built-in mechanism for satisfying hunger. And as we crave God’s Word, we receive the sustenance…
