Desert — NOT Dessert
We’re nine (9) days into Lent, but whose counting? Me! I’m numbering the days to Easter in my journal. The end of this season isn’t even in sight yet. Do I sound whiny? “PLEASE, just one tiny taste of chocolate!!” I may sound whiny but I’m really not. I know I need this season —…
Created to Create
A “must-do” when we’re in Cabo is to attend the Art Walk in San Jose del Cabo. Every Thursday night, artists, artisans, and other creators show their talents and sell their artwork. There are paintings, wire-work, sculptures. You name it. It is there. Oh how I admire those who use their hands, minds, and hearts…
Our Safe Place
We live in a world of keys, locks, alarms, and security systems. We protect the things that are most valuable to us. I asked Karen if she wanted Mom to have her wedding ring on for the viewing last Thursday, and then we could remove it once the casket would be tightly closed. She told…
We Need a Governor
I’m not talking about the upcoming governor elections but a device that keeps us at bay! It’s Friday, September 23rd, and it is smooth sailing aka driving as I make my way to Frisco, TX where I will be speaking to a beautiful group of women there. I am keeping up with the motorists who…
Like a Dove
I read Psalm 55:6 “Oh, that I had the wings of a dove! I would fly away and be at rest.” That reading took me back to Frisco, TX and the mama dove who nested above my fireplace vent. When I realized she had made her family’s home there, she already had two eggs. Soon…
Being Overshadowed
The word “overshadowed” can have a negative connotation when we think of a big brother who overshadows (dominates) his younger siblings or this comment: “Sometimes the real meaning of Christmas is overshadowed by commercialism.” While that’s true, it doesn’t have to be true for us. There is a place of peace and comfort when we…
Wondering What God’s Will is For Your Life?
It’s Fall so I chose the most colorful Fall photo to emphasize my point today. I added 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 to it PLUS enlarging the print on that POINT: “FOR THIS IS GOD’s WILL FOR YOU and , whoa-la — my blog for today! Thanks, God, for the inspiration! I love it when I see…
Ever Been Ghosted?
I learn a lot from my grands – at least when it comes to the lingo used these days. My grandson (whose name will remain anonymous to protect the innocent – he he!) came in and said “She’s ghosting me. I’m done. I’m not going to put up with that anymore!” In my lackluster “lingo”…
Let the Tree Inspire You
I saw my daughter’s FB post a couple of weeks ago about what appeared to be a dead tree on their property and how they wouldn’t give up on it. They didn’t let the appearance of it defer their hope for life to still be in it. “The day we signed the papers on Epiphany…
Those Winds are Blowing Again
A couple of weeks ago, when I was staying with my grandsons and Bentley, their dog, while their mom and dad were away, a strong, fierce-sounding storm came rolling through. Bentley sure was afraid of the hard rain, lightning and thundering. In my moment of weakness and love for this little dog, I made a…
