Well, What Do You Know?
That’s a phrase we might say when we’re surprised about something, like a vowed bachelor announces he’s getting married. If someone asked me the question: “What do you know?” It wouldn’t be because of a surprise factor. I’m not surprised at all that I KNOW God loves ME! I know that God is NOT dead.…
Welcome to Fall, Ya’ll
Hooray! My favorite season begins today – the time when the heat waves subside and everything bursts with its last beauty, as if nature has been saving up all year for the grand finale! Here’s to celebrating this first day of Fall with a heart full of gratitude. It was as though God was announcing…
The Star Spangled Skies
It is July 1st and of course July 4th, Independence Day, is just a few days away. I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free. The only time I have ever considered using the words “star spangled skies” was as I proudly sung our country’s national anthem, “The Star Spangled…
Blessings & Raindrops
We have had uncanny amounts of rain over the last couple of weeks, but it’s Sunday and it’s gorgeous outside. The sun is shining brightly and the landscape seems greener than ever! But, I know there are those who still have rain and storms in their lives. I remember feeling that way when we received…
Frustrations can Lead to Divine Appointments
I am in an hour conversation with AT&T technicians from Macedonia and Panama City, C.A., who are trying to resolve issues with my McAfee Internet Security that comes with my AT&T internet service. My first thought is why aren’t U.S. technicians helping me instead of foreign countries. After unsuccessful attempts, we get disconnected. Argh! I…
Parenting 101
If ever we received parenting advice that was good for us – it is the example and wisdom of our Heavenly Father. When we speak to our children – we expect them to listen to us – instead of continuing to play their video games. When God speaks to us – He expects us to…
We Passed the Tests
My two youngest grandsons, their friend and I took the COVID-19 test yesterday before our trip back home to Austin today. Thank goodness, we passed the tests, and we’ll be back home tonight. Vacations are great for changing up our lives for a few days but I agree with Brennan when he said: “I’m ready…
What Was Your Take?
On Wednesday, January 20, 2021 our 46th president was inaugurated. President Joseph R Biden, Jr. is our new Commander in Chief. Another historic moment. Since 1789, when George Washington was unanimously elected our first president and the new U. S. Constitution went into effect and all those years of war, depression, and pandemics, our nation…
“Do Not Fear” Seems to be a Theme Here
Merry Christmas Eve! NO FEAR here! Well, maybe a smidgen of fear was here a couple of days ago. My grandson, Payton and I made a weekend trip to Austin. While there, we heard that the pastor of my children’s church had contracted Covid. We had been to the church the previous weekend. No fear…
I Can Hardly Wait
My son sent a photo of he and Shawntel taking friends with their little two-year-old girl to see Austin’s spectacular Trail of Lights. They’re getting that little one started early. And that’s what my parents did for me. As a child, some of my fondest memories of Christmas included the drive to look at Christmas…
