A Letter of Perspective
My blog today was inspired by Ruth Graham Lutz’s (Billy Graham’s daughter) letter that I received on Friday. I didn’t follow the news about the devastation left in the aftermath of Hurricane Ian. But this letter opened my eyes and heart, and I hope it does yours too. I know the damages realized from tornadoes,…
Good Sense Makes Good Sense
My 5:45 am early morning walks are getting darker and darker. I thought, because it’s summer, that it would stay bright and light at least until September, but not so. I walk that early before it gets so hot outside. But this morning, it was pitch dark so I knew I needed to take my…
Bananas & a Bright Idea
A few days ago, my cousin, who lives just a few blocks from me, came over for technology help. I’d like to think that I was the tech-guru that she thought I was, but after an hour of trying to figure out the problem on her phone, I admitted I was at wits’ end. I…
Comfort Blanket Helps Lead Loyola University to the Sweet Sixteen
Since I posted a few days ago about THE COMFORTER, I’ve had two more occasions to reinforce what I was saying.

TEAM-Work: Together Everyone Accomplishes More
I’m back in Austin with my two youngest grandsons who make for sweet times of board games, helping with homework, helping feed the animals and all the other shenanigans that works Nana’s brain AND body! LOL! I was helping Bryson with his science homework which included the study of birds, and specifically, pelicans. Instead of…
I Am a Friend of God
As a young girl, I wasn’t in with the “in” crowd when I was in school. I was by no means one of those popular girls that hung out with those cool cheerleaders and the hunky football team. I wasn’t even in the “nerd” crowd because I sure wasn’t a really smart kid either. I…
You’re Not the Boss of Me!
Maybe you’ve heard your kids or grandkids say “You’re not the boss of me!” to a sibling or someone else. But have we ever made that statement to ourselves? We can, and we should. How often do we yield to temptations — big and small? Instead of eating a few chips, we eat the whole…
Feeling Some Nudges? Having Some “Aha” Moments?
So you’ve been feeling some nudges, hearing some still small voices, having some “aha” moments? I’d like to suggest that God is trying to get through to you! If you are tight in your relationship with God — you go to Him in prayer and study of His Word, you embrace His love and care…
