Fast Forward — It’s R-Rated
I’m in “search and let-it-go” mode. My community is having its bi-annual garage sale this weekend. It’s a great way to purge and get rid of junk which may very well be someone else’s treasure. I always loved going to garage and estate sales. I think that’s what led my sis-in-law and I to start…
Our Rich Family History
My friend posted this beautiful photo on her timeline a few days ago. She was in Pocahontas, Illinois. I commented: “I have family roots that go back to John Rolfe and Pocahontas. They were our 10th generation grandparents. Yay! I’m multi-racial! There’s a tiny percentage of Native American in me! And I thought I had…
He Brought the House Down
I started typing this post days ago after I awoke in the night and the words “He brought the house down” were going through my head. “What does that mean, Lord?” This scripture came to me: “In my Father’s house are many mansions. I go to prepare a place for you.” (John 14:2) Okay, Lord,…
And They Lived Happily Ever After
My favorite fairy tale is still “Cinderella”. The prince falls in loves with Cinderella. He searches the kingdom for her and slides the glass slipper on her foot like an engagement ring. Next comes the story ending: “And they lived happily ever after.” NOT! Sweet imagination, but NOT reality. It’s not how real life stories…
It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year — Not Time for Down and Out Songs or Words
It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year to Sing Joy-Filled Songs I apologize in advance of this post because it’s me being REAL again — expressing what I’ve learned the most from the loss of my best friend and husband during this time of the year, and how much I want to help others…
The Show Must Go On — Here, and Up There
Today, I’m back in Tulsa where so many memories always await me. Of course, I’m with Mom (aka Mom-in-Law) and Karen, which brings a flood of memories when we’re together, but today, November 16th is exceptionally special to each of us. Mom’s boy, Karen’s big bro, and my Sweetheart, gets my FB marquee placement today.…
Spread the Good News!
Everyday, we make choices — to listen to negativity — especially in the news and then pass that bad news along. We also have the option to do what Jesus said, “Go into all the world and spread the GOOD NEWS!” I remember my early years as a Christian how difficult it was for me…
A Viking Ship — What a Way to Go!
I sat with my youngest grandson yesterday, reading another book about Vikings. I must say I’ve learned more about Vikings in the last couple of months than I had ever known. The first Viking book was fiction about a very poor family in Denmark in the early 1900s who lived on what rich folks considered…
Welcome Home!
Today, November 16th, is the 4th year anniversary of this beautiful man’s promotion to heaven. I say it that way because he fervently believed this life on earth, is just our internship for what we were created to do, and be, in heaven. I know he’s on assignment there, as we are all on assignment…
Be of Good CHEER!
I love the story our good friend, Zig Ziglar, told about the businessman who got a ticket for driving too fast on the way to work, who got to his office and yelled at his assistant, and then she yelled at the receptionist, who came home and yelled at her son, who kicked the poor…
