Got Milk?
Remember the “Got Milk?” commercials where a well-known celebrity was proud to admit they drank milk by revealing their milk moustache? The commercial encouraged milk consumption and the campaign was credited for upping milk sales by highlighting the benefits of milk. As we flew to Puerto Vallarta yesterday, this baby was just across the aisle…
My One Determined Purpose
Once upon a time, my one determined purpose was to be the best daughter, mom, wife, Bible teacher/leader, employee, and friend. I would like to say that my best was accomplished, but I fell short in many ways. Now, I’m in the season of desiring to know my Lord like the Apostle Paul expressed: “For…
Never a Dull Moment with God
On the heels of my blog yesterday about God-moments, today I offer you Part Two — the “Never Dull Moments with God!” If we are bored and see each day as just another same-o, same-o day, then we don’t realize the extravagant measures God takes to entertain us! The song title: “Let Me Entertain You”…
Being Christian-ish
I’ve never watched the show, but I understand “Black-ish” has to do with children who are not fully one race or another and they have cultural issues about their identity. The name of that show made me wonder if we may be “Christian-ish” — not fully all in as Christians and so we have issues…
Our Rich Family History
My son called to ask for as much info as I could provide regarding our family’s history. He was on a quest to keep reminding his boys/men about the foundations that our family was built upon. Then, my nephew, Robert Wheat, saw this FB photo of our “Wheat Family” from back in the 1950s and…
Is it in my Genes?
I had three siblings who graduated to heaven; two of them had Alzheimer’s disease and the other had Diabetes so severe that she lost one foot to the disease. My Mom, now in heaven, had congenital heart disease. My Dad, also in heaven, had a malignant brain tumor. Goodness gracious! With that family medical history,…
Staying on Course
My East Texas family was in high gear last weekend. They had been working diligently at their newly acquired eight acres just down the road from where their 62 acres of land at Epiphany Ranch is located. This new parcel of land will be home to one of their team members and her family. In…
Kisses — Sweeter than Wine — Happy Valentine’s Day!
“Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth — for your love is more delightful than wine.” How’s that for a Valentine’s Day opener? Sounds like something out of a romance novel, doesn’t it? It is way more. It is straight from God’s Holy Word, the Song of Solomon 1:2. God intended us…
Let’s Talk About My Lamp
I have two lamps in my living area that are for ambience only, and unless company is coming, I don’t even turn them on. But they do provide a great atmosphere as the bottom of the lamp lights up inside a marble base. So, there’s my inspiration for this blog. Everyday, as a part of…
Our Built-In Indicators
I sold my 11-year-old car. It was on its last leg – rather, last engine. I have a sweet new ride. With it came some helpful safety features. Those safety indicators (cameras) tell me if there’s a car to the right or left of me, to NOT change lanes. It has front and back indicators…
