We’ve Only Just Begun to Live
That was one of our favorite songs (released in 1970) by The Carpenters. The characters in the song were a just-married couple looking forward to new horizons, new roads to choose, and so much life ahead of them. We sang that song completely unaware of what lie ahead, but naïve and child-like as we were,…
Trusting God When It Doesn’t Make Sense
Yesterday I posted about the times when we are afraid to trust. We have a host of reasons to have a problem with trusting, especially when it comes to relationships and when someone broke our hearts or when dreams crushed or when we’re let down by a sickness reoccurrence. But we have proof of those…
Our Thanksgiving Week Begins
Awww…..beautiful Thanksgiving Week — the time we really focus on God’s multiplied blessings to us. Though it’s the mindset we should have all year through, this week we purposely hone in on what’s most important to us. I’m in “game-on” mode for all that this week will hold. But, before I go to that high…
I’m Making My Declaration of DEPENDENCE

A Declaration of Dependence makes an inspired biblical-based case…
I’m Trusting in the Lord With All My Heart!
When I lived in Tulsa and headed up a Life Group in my home, I bought several of these little plates to give to the gals on their birthday. I’d add some yummy treats to the gift, but the words from Proverbs 3:5, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart” was the most important…
In God We Trust
Psalm 91 has been my Psalm to live by for many years. It’s my 911 call for daily help for protection for my loved ones and myself. The whole chapter is about “In God We Trust”. Those words took on a whole new meaning when I heard a former paratrooper, now a pastor, speak yesterday…
Rose & Marci aka Thelma & Louise aka Lucy & Ethel
Early yesterday morning, a few of us in my community sent off two of our neighbors to California. They’re driving in Rose’s truck and will be staying, nightly, in their new cozy travel trailer. These two fun-loving widows, who met here in Hyde Park two-plus years ago, have become best of friends. A 3-week journey…
Pennies From Heaven
When I was almost to Austin on Monday, Ryan called to ask me to meet up with him at a business in downtown where he was in a meeting. While I was with him at the business meeting, I went into the ladies room and I was amazed when I saw the floor. It was…
I Know WHO Holds Tomorrow
I don’t know what tomorrow holds, but I know WHO holds tomorrow! This world we live in seems like it is on a downward spiral, but, we don’t have to fear or be concerned because, if we listen to the candidates, each one declares they’ll be able to fix all that’s wrong with it when…
