Home Sweet Home, Here and There
As much as I love traveling and soaking in the beauty of places like Puerto Vallarta, there’s nothing quite like coming home. We returned home yesterday! Sweet Home Austin! Home sweet home! Home is where the heart is. There’s no place like home. My happy place. Home, my sanctuary. A place of comfort. Home, my…
King Kingston: A Tribute to a Young Warrior
Over the past 13 years, I’ve had the honor of sharing the story of a young king named Kingston James Whitmore. Diagnosed with Trisomy 13 at birth, Kingston was given just five days to live. Defying all odds, he graced this earth for over 13 remarkable years, a testament to the power of faith and…
How the Tides Can Change
Home at last after a remarkable week cruising Eastern Canada and New England. Still, there truly is no place like home sweet home. The joy was doubled as my East Texas family journeyed to Austin to celebrate Mother’s Day with us. Big brother Ryan and sister Shawntel opened their welcoming, spacious home to everyone, while…
Celebrating Our Heroes of Faith
My sis sent me this photo of her, her daughter and granddaughter. They went to the cemetery to celebrate Mom’s 100th on her birthday, October 31st. We all had expected to celebrate her on this side of heaven, but God had something better in mind. Oh, so much better! Yesterday, November 1st (BTW – Happy…
It’s Good to be Back Home
John Denver sang “Hey, it’s good to be back home again!” And Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, said, “There’s no place like home!” And, I’m singing and saying that today! Whether it’s a day, a week, or a month away from it — there’s just no place like home. Whew! I’m typing this blog…
Our Non-Negotiables
Family rules. This is a sign I had made for my “Wuerch” family. When I see it in their home, it reminds me of what family values should look like. Those should be the non-negotiables in our lives. And I’m not just talking about our own family, but it includes our “God” family. He’s our…
News Alert: Jesus is no Longer on the Cross
And neither should we be! Remember the two men in white (angels) that showed up as Jesus ascended to heaven? They said, “Men of Galilee, why are you standing there looking at the sky? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will return in the same way as you have seen…
Home at Last and the Last Laugh
Home sweet home after having been with my family in Cabo Del Sol for the last nine days. What a great way to end 2021 and begin 2022 — with family love and family fun. Attached are a few photos — only the good times that rolled — and NOT the times we’d rather not…
Spreading Love at my Home Sweet Home
Yesterday, I placed my Christmas card, with this photo included, at over 100 apartment homes where I live. The picture is of our common area which is such a beautiful gathering place. I added these words to the photo: “Home is oh so sweet with friends like you!” It is true. So many new and…
Happy July 4th — We are Free Because of Thee
Happy Birthday, America! Today, we celebrate the freedom that we take for granted on most days. Many have sacrificed their lives for this country so the rest of us can rest each night — safe and fairly certain of what tomorrow will bring. I don’t want this blog today to just be a casual reminder,…
