What is God Like?
This blog comes from reading this sweet story:“A six-year-old girl was busy drawing a picture one day. Her teacher asked, “What are you drawing?” The little girl replied confidently, “I’m drawing a picture of God.” The teacher, a bit taken aback, said, “But nobody knows what God looks like!” The little girl kept drawing and…
I’m a Rich Kid
Yesterday I spoke about the privilege of being in the family of God. Did you know an inheritance awaits us in this family? An inheritance is what is rightfully ours for being part of a family. If I am an heir to a multi-billionaire, and he dies, you’d better believe I’ll be there for the…
When All is Said and Done
I just finished updating the “Important ‘After the Fact’ documents to make matters easier to be closed and dispersed” for my children.

I’m Claiming My Inheritance
“Inheritance” is the name of my grandchildren’s church youth group. I love that! I’ve thought about my own inheritance. I didn’t come from a wealthy family in terms of financial status and means, but how rich I am in the inheritance I received in the loving, serving and living in God’s grace and peace of…
This is Where the Best of Me Came From
My sweet Mom, Edna Pearl Wheat, is 107 years old today and she’s having the time of her “forever after” life in heaven. These photos are of her and my granddaughter, Alexia Wallace, 15 years ago. She was in her element when she was holding the babies. I love the “before” and “after” of Alexia…
