The Goodness of God
I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of hearing Cece Winans sing “The Goodness of God”. It’s not just a song; it’s my anthem, a reminder of all the ways God has shown up in my life. I’ve already told my husband that when my time comes to leave this side of heaven, I want…
It Happens on this Day
May 6th was on my mind. I checked my calendar – nada, nothing showing except for me working at the family center all day and serving communion at church on Saturday night. There must be something else because I keep thinking I need to blog about whatever it may be. Still nothing. So, I googled…
The Test, the Tribulation, and the Triumph
I am picking up my grandson’s favorite after-school snack: the big plate of honey chicken X 3 and white rice at Panda Express. The manager is helping me. She knows me well from the many times I go in to get Bryson’s “snack”! But this encounter with the manager starts my TEST and my seeking!…
I Did It!

It’s Fall — My Favorite Season of the Year
It rained incessantly all day here in Frisco on Saturday. That beautiful drenching outside made for a glorious indoor day of wearing comfy clothes, thoroughly giving my home a good top-to-bottom cleaning, and then rewarding myself at the end of the day with a sweet Hallmark movie, popcorn, and a chocolate shake. Aw — the…
Sometimes ACTIONS Really Do Speak Louder Than Words
St. Francis of Assisi said “Preach the Gospel at all times and sometimes use words.” His words describe what I received on Sunday, Mother’s Day, from my precious family. Denise and Larry made us the most delicious grilled steak lunch with all the trimmings, then it was Wallace Cleaning and Trim Service in action! Love…
