Breath of God
In my prayer time, I said these words “Thank You for your breath, Lord!” What? Where did that come from? Who do we ever say “Thank you for your breath” because breath can be stinky? But not so with the breath of Jesus. In asking for His breath, I knew that I was asking for…
Clenched Fists or Open Hands?
Are your fists clenched so tightly that if you let them go, you know you’ll blow? After all these uncharted waters of the pandemic – that steam might erupt like Old Faithful, as you shout “I’M DONE!” Maybe, you’re white-knuckling it because you’re fearful of what is up ahead. I know both examples. I was…
Choosing Wisely Which Side of History We Want
Not long ago, I wrote a blog about the Israelites and the plagues sent by God to the Egyptians in the Bible. Now, we know from firsthand experience, what a true plague looks like in our world. In a sense, it has felt like history repeated itself. But, Lord, please spare us from frogs, lice,…
Coincidence or God Incidence?
You just can’t make this stuff up! My granddaughter, Alexia, while shopping for her birthday present, last week, revealed that she’d like to have a cat when she lives on her own. We once raised Persian Angora cats, so she was speaking my love language. So, on her actual birthday, I thought I would help…
Those Unwelcome Webworms and Heartworms
This picture of a beautifully, fully-in-bloom crepe myrtle is what crepe myrtles should look like. Don’t be misled by the picture – it isn’t one of mine. It came from the internet. All nine of my crepe myrtles are home to the uninvited webworms. They came to inhabit my branches with their yucky webs that…
The Thrill of Victory
I make my blog post and move over to my emails and, first thing, my eyes about bug out as I see that our Dallas Stars Hockey Team won their Western Conference Championship the night before. For the first time in 20 years, the Dallas Stars are heading to the Stanley Cup Final! Now they…
Running our Races with Purpose
It’s been almost ten years since our eleven children and grands along with about twenty others ran or walked with us in Tulsa’s Route 66 Marathon to honor my husband who had graduated to heaven the Tuesday before. That Sunday morning we wore our red “Run for Ron” t-shirts. It had all been planned before…
Can’t You Feel It? The Feeling is Everywhere!
Those are some of the words to David Foster’s theme song of the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Alberta. We were there and we felt it from our vantage point at the Opening and Closing Ceremonies where our daughter was a member of the Coca Cola World Chorus. What a time we all had! Actually…
A Big Thumbs Up – All is Well!
That fiasco last week of trying to find a replacement for my daughter’s peace sign hand that I accidentally broke, led me to this “thumbs-up hand”. Of course, I had to buy it for sweet memories’ sake. In this photo, my husband was talking to our children shortly after surgery and giving them the “All…
Creators! Let’s Create!
I went to church with my grandsons on Sunday. This was the first time the church was fully opened since the pandemic began. Opened, with the exception of limited seating that was maxed out and distanced. What amused me the most was when we walked up to the front doors, tables were set up outside…
