Wherever He Leads
Sometimes our journeys take us through wonderful places — those seasons when everything feels right in our world. The road is smooth, the view is beautiful, and we’re humming along, windows down, hair blowing, singing off-key but loving every minute of it. But then… the GPS of life suddenly reroutes. We find ourselves grinding up…
Leave It in God’s Hands
We grandmothers are a special breed. We carry tissues in our purses, candy in our pockets, and a prayer list that’s longer than a CVS receipt. And at the very top of that list? Our grandchildren. Of course, I am also acknowledging you dear loving and adoring mamas who love so deeply — even before…
We Have Everything We Need
Max Lucado (my favorite author) hit the nail on the head when he said, “You have a God who hears you, the power of love behind you, the Holy Spirit within you, and all of heaven ahead of you…” Now, if that doesn’t make us want to shout a hallelujah, I don’t know what will!…
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…
Thank You, God, for My GPS
When I am exercising on elliptical equipment or taking road trips, I often pass the time by listening to audiobooks. Right now, I’m listening to Christian Author Janet Oke’s audiobooks. Most all her works are stories from the early 1900’s. I hear the tales of those days when conveniences like telephones and cars were just…
Use It or Lose It
My mother, when she was 94 (now graduated to heaven), would tell her doctor: “There are mornings when I just don’t want to get out of bed because everything hurts too much!” And her doctor’s response was: “When you stop forcing yourself to get out of bed, is when you’ll be bedridden. If you don’t…
Time to Recalibrate
. As a “single” being out on the road so much between all my travels to Tulsa and Austin, my navigation system has been a good friend that keeps me on course, and it gives me the security of knowing where I’m at at any given time. That navigation system ranks in my highest priority…
Unplugged To Get Plugged In
My cousin and I were going on a “girls night out”, but I couldn’t find my cell phone. I went to pick her up (she lives just a few blocks from me) and brought her back to my house so she could call me to see where my phone was at. (I forgot about the…
What WAZE You Down? Are You “Direction” Challenged?
For some time my son, Larry, was encouraging me to use the “free” Waze app on my phone. He told me that it was a much better option than any other GPS system or app. I tried using it but still didn’t trust it when it would take me off the beaten path to get…
Change of Pace = Change of Perspective
I had a change-of-pace from all the unpacking and organizing here with my Austin family yesterday. I was designated as one of the chaperones for my 11-year old grandson’s class field trip to the Hill Country Science Mill in Johnson City, TX, the hometown of President Lyndon Johnson. The kids rode in school buses and…
