Our Way Maker and Doomsday Defense
Global warming. Pandemic. World hunger. Inflation. Immorality. Murder of innocent lives. I hear those daily reports and I retreat to my safe and happy place of peace on earth, good will to men. I purposely avoid conflict, controversary and complainers. That means I rarely watch the news and the incessant doomsday reports. Ah, that just…
Did We Forget How Big God Is?
“How big is God? How big and wide his vast domain.To try and tell, these lips can only start.He’s big enough, to rule this mighty universe.Yet small enough, to live within my heart.” There you go! This computer of mine (my mind) is belting out another one of those old songs that is stored up…
Living Our Faith Out Loud
October 4, 2021 – I post my blog at 4:31 am. At 10:39 am CST – Facebook and Instagram — DOWN! What is going on? Is my internet down again? No, because I’m connecting to other sites. Have I been hacked? OR, like so many other Christian voices on social media I think: “Have I…
Our Built-In Indicators
I sold my 11-year-old car. It was on its last leg – rather, last engine. I have a sweet new ride. With it came some helpful safety features. Those safety indicators (cameras) tell me if there’s a car to the right or left of me, to NOT change lanes. It has front and back indicators…
Mountain! You’ve Gotta’ Move!
That’s me in this photo at the Cascade Mountains of Washington. I know mountains. I’ve climbed them. I’ve gazed at their beauty from a distance. I’ve skied down them. I’ve driven the winding roads to the top of them and embraced the beauty from the top looking down. And I know MOUNTAINS — those vast,…
Why Men are so Happy
I don’t think I’ve ever said to God: “Why didn’t you make me a man instead of a woman?” God made me ME, and though I’ve sort of wished I’d been able to have given God a hand when He hand-crafted me and my exterior (i.e., “Why the ski-slope nose, skin that requires abundant sun…
God’s Stamp of Approval
“True Confessions” — I think that was the title of an old movie, a sleazy magazine, a novel, and an informative newspaper column. And, today, I’m coming clean on some personal true confessions of my own. Ever go through a season of self-regret? I’m there today. I’m reading ME like a book and this book…
More Care-Free Lessons from the Birds
I’ve written 2,816 blogs. And I know my most written about subjects (other than my grandchildren) are birds. I’ve written about how annoying they can be like those who kept making nests on my front porch and their droppings were everywhere. I’ve written about the treasured cardinals who made their homes in trees outside my…
Ever Been Ghosted?
I learn a lot from my grands – at least when it comes to the lingo used these days. My grandson (whose name will remain anonymous to protect the innocent – he he!) came in and said “She’s ghosting me. I’m done. I’m not going to put up with that anymore!” In my lackluster “lingo”…
Happy October 1st, Vegans or Not, Everywhere!
I was awakened this morning by the glorious sound of Fall rain which I call “A beautiful day in the neighborhood”! Except for Austin, TX where the heat has flourished in the upper 90s, this rain tells me it’s time to get out our sweaters and light jackets! The glorious Autumn days are just ahead!…
