He Leads Us — No Fear Here
For some time, my daughter has been encouraging me to write a book that includes my blogs. I haven’t had the drive to write it yet because each day I realize that I am not the author of my faith story. I’m still here, pressing onward and upward, so I’ll just keep journaling via my…
Lessons from a Pumpkin Patch
I just heard the K-Love DJ talking about the pumpkin his little guy picked out at the pumpkin patch. It seems that pumpkin patches price their pumpkins by the pound and this little guy picked out a pumpkin that cost the DJ dad $62. He didn’t have the heart to get a smaller pumpkin, so…
How are Your Negotiating Skills?
I like to think that I’ve learned the art of negotiating quite well – especially in Mexico. I can haggle with the best of them. Store owner says: “Twenty dollars”. I say: “Twelve dollars”. He says: “Best price – Eighteen dollars!” I start to walk away, and he says: “For you, “Fifteen dollars”! I say:…
Having a God-is-in-Control Mindset
Thank goodness, the election is over. Congrats to the winners of of the political races because now we can breathe easier. The ones who won their seats proclaimed that they would fix the economy, solve the issues on immigration, women’s rights, health care, and give their supporters whatever they want from them. So, no concerns…
Get Ready for a Blessed Day
“Have a good one!” “Have a great day!” “Have a terrific day.” We’ve all heard and said those words, in one form or another. Then there are those of us who take it to a HIGHER level and say, “Have a blessed day!” We even say it with the words ringing in our ears: “This…
Serving God by Serving Others
My daughter’s prayer as soon as she awakens each day, is “How can I serve you today, Lord?” I’m sure God loves when we come to Him in prayer, but usually, when we check in with Him, it is only to give Him our long prayer request and wish list. Can you imagine how He…
Fall Back! It’s Time for Change!
We know summer is officially over when Daylight Saving Time comes. You’re welcome, Friends. I’m giving you a little ARK (Act of Random of Kindness). I’m reminding you to turn your clocks back one hour before you go to bed tonight. Whoohoo! An extra hour of sleep is ahead! Daylight Savings Time ends tomorrow morning,…
Blessed to Give – The Gathering Place
While in Tulsa for great granny’s funeral, my granddaughter and I took the time to bask in God’s creation when we explored Tulsa’s “Gathering Place”. We took on the 70-acre, $465 million-to-build, world-class park. The “Gathering Place” began with the George Kaiser Family Foundation and an extraordinary dream to transform 100 acres of Tulsa’s waterfront…
Lost & Found
A friend posted: “Praise report… my engagement ring had lost the diamond about 2 weeks ago. Bruce and I tore apart the house and cars looking for it. No diamond. We pretty much chalked it up to being lost. We have had a lot of challenges financially and we felt Satan has just been testing…
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…
