My Way or God’s Way
Thursday night, at my Everleigh Lakeline community, a most talented and delightful singer, Rickey Davis, gave us a “Frank Sinatra” concert that was second to none! He is known as a Frank Sinatra Tribute Artist, and he took us back to those classic times. Someone came up to me afterwards and said, “You sang right…
Are We Measuring Up?
Bigger, better, best. That seems to be our mindset. It was ours when we wanted a car that could hold seven people. I drove that sweet ride for nearly 12 years. But, then “smaller” seemed the best choice when I was looking for a new car. Is it just me or does it seem parking…
Untying the Apron Strings
Mothers’ Day celebrations are behind us so I am recommending that it’s time to untie our “apron strings”. You know the ones we tend to hold on to so tightly when our children are ready to leave the nest. I type this in love because I have precious mamas in my life who are tying…
What Do You Put on Each Day?
Throwing that question out, might make you wonder what I mean. You might think I’m asking about putting on your clothes, your glasses, your deodorant, your cologne or aftershave, your jewelry or shoes or hat. This blog today was inspired by a dear friend who is one of my faithful daily blog followers. Not only…
More of You and Less of Me
Back to my face-plant coming into the final yards of the 5K that I walked/ran/jogged on Saturday. Yesterday my blog included the beauty of the 18 of us taking on the Alamo Run to raise funds for the EMwomen Hope House. It was a complete success with many sponsors kicking off the efforts. However, complete…
Thirsty Thursday — Holy Thursday
Thirsty Thursday is what they call our social every Thursday night where I live. We are offered many beverages of choice to quench our thirst along with snacks to satisfy our hunger. Jesus had our thirst and hunger in mind on this Holy Thursday. Once upon a time, on social media, we would classify Thursdays…
Do We Look and Smell Like Heaven?
On Sunday, my Austin family and I headed to one of their favorite destinations, Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. I am so grateful to ride this wave with them. As I type this, I am on the patio smelling bacon cooking “en la casa” by our mayordomo. Oh, the food and floral scents that are so…
Humble & Kind
A song came on the radio. It spoke to me. The message was so clear that I asked my 16-year-old grandson, who is staying with me for three nights, to listen to it with me. “Alexa, play Tim McGraw’s “Humble and Kind”. Before it started, Brennan told me he had just heard it on the…
Are You Dressed Yet?
That’s a loaded question. The answer could be “yes”, even if you’re sporting your jammies, your swimsuit, or a 3-piece suit. A t-shirt and shorts may mean a comfortable afternoon at home or the park. A silky chiffon dress might mean a special night out. My Austin children went to a wedding yesterday, but before…
Measuring Up
Bigger, better, best. That seems to be our mindset. It was ours when we wanted a car that could hold seven people. I drove that sweet ride for nearly 11 years. My mindset changed. Smaller suddenly became best when I was looking for a new car. Is it just me or does it seem parking…
