God Isn’t Scratching His Head
How far we’ve come since the worst thing that we could get punished for in school was chewing gum or triggering (with a ball point pen) a stink bomb! Whew! I can still smell that in the halls of my school or the chemistry classroom. And fast forward a few decades to the 2020’s and…
Living with No Regrets
There are five things that we cannot recover in life:The Stone…………after it’s thrown,The Word………….after it’s said,The Occasion…..after it’s missed, The Time…………..after it’s gone.A person…………..after they die. I realize this after I’ve missed a chance to call a friend and didn’t. When I failed to remember another friend’s birthday. When I forgot to pray a little…
Amped Up and Ready to Take the World by Storm
Thanks to my grandson #4 who provided the inspiration for this blog. If you follow me, you know that I stay with my two youngest grandsons when their parents go out of town. On Saturday, I was up at my usual “comin’ alive” time of 4:30 am. When I came out to the living area,…
Happy November and Being Grateful for Those We Remember
What a great start to this beautiful “Thanksgiving” month with a day that celebrates our heroes of faith! It is All Saints Day and it’s not just to remember them, but it encourages us to imitate them. So many devoted their lives to God and were Christ’s Light bearers. Many were martyred for their faith.…
🎃The TREAT of October 31st, 1922🎃
This sweet little lady is my dear mother-in-law, Lydia (Winick) Wuerch, who God presented to the world 99 years ago today. Though she was born on the day attributed to Halloween, she was always the TREAT, not the trick. I talk a lot about her because her life changed my life since I was 12…
Do You Get Caught Up in the Winds?
In Rusk, TX where they are working relentlessly on their property that will be a blessing to many, I received this text message from my daughter on Thursday: “It’s intense here; 60+ mph winds! Our contractors are having to take measures on our house so that it doesn’t come apart. Please pray for secure protection…
Don’t You Tell Me God Can’t Do It
Last weekend could not have been more exhilarating and memorable. I rolled back the curtain of many treasured memories that sparked undaunted faith for miracles. Don’t you tell me God can’t answer prayer! I have proof positive from just a couple of days of “raising hallelujahs” for what God has done. Hopefully, I’ll increase your…
Keep Doing Good — Harvest Time Up Ahead!
This blog today is inspired by my DEAR son, Larry, and his new John DEERE tractor. Larry is a do-gooder by nature (the “goods” are beyond numbering for this blog). So, what does God do, but give him the desire of his heart, his tractor. This blog was also inspired by my good friend and…
I’m Sorry I Saw That
I saw this photo at Baylor, Scott and White’s hospital parking area. Notice that the car with the skeleton and sword are in a handicap parking space? I’m reserving my thoughts. You’re welcome to have yours. But this scene propelled me into my annual rant. Ghosts, goblins, zombies, witches, and other Halloween paraphernalia that “haunt”…
What if We Flipped the Worry Script?
My friends and I were discussing the upcoming Christmas season and how it may be advisable to do some early Christmas shopping. We know from personal experience what empty shelves of toilet paper and paper towels were like when the pandemic began in 2020! So, do we take that run-for-your-life, hustle and bustle mindset on…
