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…
Pay ATTENTION!
Goodness gracious! I love my GPS system. They’re so much better than those old folded up maps. Those “Global Positioning Systems” are found in vehicles and on smartphones all over the world. And, I’m so grateful to be here at this time to take advantage of this amazing technology. That gal in the GPS knows…
Time to Recalibrate
The navigation system on my phone and in my car is one of the greatest technologies to be invented. I can’t even begin to tell you how many times that the sweet lady’s voice saved my day when I’m trying to find a particular address. Oftentimes, she’ll tell me to turn at the next exit…
MY Way on the Highway?
Remember the folded up maps we once used when we headed out for road trips? I loved being the navigator! Those maps, and I, most certainly kept us right on course to get to our destination faster. And, that was important, because we didn’t do a lot of dilly dallying when it came to road…
