Could this be our “For Such a Time as This” Moment?
It’s a phrase tossed around frequently. We’ll see shirts, hats, mugs, and social media posts that proudly ring out, “for such a time as this”. I know I use it a lot to impress upon someone that they are living in God’s divine destiny and purpose and it’s NOW time to step up and act…
Leadership May Change But God Doesn’t
In my “memories” FB feed, I saw the congenial photo of the “smooth” transition of power from President Obama and First Lady Michelle to President Trump and First Lady Melania in 2016. It was too bad the circumstances of the current transition wasn’t as equally smooth and cordial. Things “changed” from the routine of previous…
Don’t be a Slouch
These days, with all that’s going on in our personal lives or a family member’s life or in our world, it’s enough to make us feel like we’re carrying the weight of it all on our shoulders. And all that weight causes us to slouch. My mama wouldn’t let me be a “slouch”. I hear…
Have You Had a “There was Jesus” Moment?
If you have a play list or listen to the radio, I’m sure you’ve heard Christian singer and songwriter Zach Williams singing with country legend Dolly Parton, ‘There Was Jesus.’ Zach, after years as a heavy rocker with drug addiction, turned to God.

Making Things Right

The Path of Wisdom
Day before yesterday, my blog centered around “seizing the moments”. Today I’m centering on “seizing the DAY” — Carpe Diem. Seizing the day has everything to do with walking, talking, and living in wisdom aka being a wise believer. You, young ones out there, may not remember Art Linkletter who had a show called “Kids…
Seize the Moment
Last month, it was my daughter’s birthday morning and her breakfast request? Burger King’s egg and cheese croissant and hash browns! Easy peasy! My pleasure! Larry and the kids had the decorations up. I had the breakfast. Alexa played “You are so beautiful” when she came in the room. It was celebration time of a…
Recalibration Time
Last night a dear Tulsa friend and I had our own private Zoom call. We were celebrating the blessings of having been brought together in a Life Group that I led for nearly four years there. This call and our recollections showed us how far we’ve come in our faith in God’s faithfulness. We talked…
Everyone Needs a Little Help Sometimes
Being with my Austin family for several days (and going back on Saturday), I watched everyone pitch in to get a job done around their home. Mama sent boys one way. The dad took over the areas of his expertise and mama put her organization skills to work. And I even played my part. We…
Mindset Reset
Very early Tuesday morning, I made my way home from Austin to the monthly luncheon of the Republican Women of Greater North Texas. here in Frisco. I was motivated. I regularly attend, but this one especially caused me put the “pedal to the metal”. My daughter, Staci Wallace, was the guest speaker. More than being…
