God’s Providence
Perhaps you’ve already read the commentary from Jason Jimenez, Op-Ed Contributor, for The Christan Post. His words trump (no pun intended) my words today. I must pay it forward! “From the founding of America to its present day, God’s divine guidance has steered the course of events, protecting and preserving those who seek His favor.…
Pleasing People. Pleasing God.
People’s approval has been my go-to most all my life. I want my husband’s family to like me. For goodness’s sake – I want my husband to like/love me a lot. I want my fellow workers and customers at the family center to like me. I want my blogs to be liked and loved. I…
The Right GPS Sytem
Once upon a time I was “directionally challenged”. I remember driving in and out of neighborhoods, off highways and byways, and spending way more time driving than I should have. It didn’t take much for me to get lost. Aw! But now those days are long gone since the advent of our GPS (Global Positioning…
I’ll Take a Cloud…or Two
I read my “FB Memories” from this day a couple of years ago. Back then I was all caught up in gratitude for the rain, and cooler temperatures and the Fall season that was in the air. This year it seems Summer doesn’t want to give way just yet! I’m in Tulsa right now, and…
Shakey World But Unshakeable Faith
After catching the headlines about the leak of the Supreme Court’s Roe vs Wade draft, I realize, more than ever, that we live in a mighty crazy, shaky world. If we only lived through the eyes of the news, you’d think the world is going to hell in a handbasket. Even in our own little…
I’ll Take a Cloud…or Two
This day a year ago I was all caught up in gratitude for the rain, cooler temperatures and the Fall season that was in the air. I spent the day getting my Fall décor out and turning my home into a place of pumpkin spice aromas and colors of oranges, yellows and browns. But, not…
Train Them Up in the Way They Should Go
From the very start of her life, our daughter was loud. I mean crying-out-loud loud. When she was a baby, she cried because she was a very sick baby and later when she realized she had a brother that loved to annoy her, she was loud with her shrills and squeals when he as much…
Oh, But for the Mercy of God!
I’ve heard people say “Lorrrd, have mercy!” as a quick retort when yet another “I can’t believe it” circumstance happens. In reality, that is what we should say, rather pray, anytime we encounter a roadblock, a rock landslide, “rocked my world” or rock crazy situations going on in our world. God is our ROCK in…
What Do You Do When Life Presents an Upsetting Surprise?
I take my daily FB postings very seriously. Throughout the day I pay attention to people, places and things that could potentially be the inspiration for me. As I was driving home from Austin after two weeks away, I was thinking about my post for today. I was thinking that maybe I should write a…
Are You a Caregiver? Then You Are His Hands Extended.
When I moved from Tulsa a year ago, I knew God was directing me back to my home state of Texas – closer to my children and grandchildren, yet still close enough to get back to Tulsa should I be needed by my sister-in-law in the care of Mom (my mother-in-law). I have felt like…
