I’m Sorry I Saw That
I saw this photo at Baylor, Scott and White’s hospital parking area. Notice that the car with the skeleton and sword are in a handicap parking space? I’m reserving my thoughts. You’re welcome to have yours. But this scene propelled me into my annual rant. Ghosts, goblins, zombies, witches, and other Halloween paraphernalia that “haunt”…
Let’s Be Different. Let’s Take the High Road.
How “different” are we from what is “normal” to others? Some say: “It’s normal to be stressed, fearful, overwhelmed, exhausted, angry, sad, and even speaking hateful and being mean to others. “Normal” to some is ranting and raving right along with all those who are dissatisfied with politics and politicians or even their own family…
He’s Alive and So am I
He woke me up this morning and started me on my way…..you ask me how I know He lives. He lives within my heart! Happy Resurrection Celebration Day! Whoever said “You Only Live Once” (YOLO) didn’t consider our Lord’s living, dying, and living again forever! Jesus made a comeback like no other. And the over-the-top…
More Good News
HOLD UP! Christmas isn’t over so carry on with the good tidings, joy to the world and embracing this holiest of times of the year — actually right on through into the new year. That’s because the wise men haven’t shown up yet. Yes, it’s a sweet add-on to our manger scenes when we see…
Maybe It Will Go Away If We Shut Our Eyes
Or, if we put our fingers in our ears and sing loudly, “La, la, la” – we won’t hear them!” After all the uncertainties, concerns, disappointments, and disturbances in their lives, I think many folks are at the tipping point of losing it. In the words of my old cartoon friend from way back, Popeye…
Sharing a Sweet Homeward-Bound Moment
I share this homeward-bound moment to tell you that God is looking for messengers who are willing to be on assignment for Him. He is looking for the “whoevers” to step up and say “Pick me to help You carry out Your divine plans for this world. His plans for us were given to us…
United We Stand — Divided We Fall
What has happened to patriotism, God and country, the pledge of allegiance to our flag and, “one nation under God”, and, with a hand over our heart, standing up to sing with honor, our National Anthem? But, rather than dwelling on the good old days, I am hopeful for good new days of true appreciation…
We are Everywhere and We will Change the World
Today is called “Ascension Sunday” in commemoration of Jesus “moving on up” to Glory! Well, the actual 40-days was last Thursday — but it takes a glorious Sunday to join in a throng together (well, maybe not a throng in body, but in spirit) to rejoice — not only that Jesus was raised from the…
Letting the Whole World Know
We are seizing so many opportunities to share good news via technology. We sure need that good news! Facebook and FB Live, YouTube videos, teleconferencing, Instagram and other forms of communicating hope-filled messaging. Before the internet and social media, many of us Jesus followers were quite reclusive. Our faith stayed at home. Jesus “talk” was…
Shhh! Please Don’t Tell Me a Secret!
Please don’t tell me a secret. It’s just so hard to keep it to myself. I have been known to give away a surprise party before the party in a careless moment of unintentionality. I may have been the kid that went into stealth mode and opened all my Christmas presents and rewrapped them unbeknownst…
