It’s Worth the Investment But God Gets the Credit!
Happy Birthday to my Staci Wallace! This is a big one – 55! I checked it out. At 55, you’re in what experts call “middle adulthood” – the era between 40 and 65, which often marks some of life’s biggest achievements and shifts. Yes-sir-ee! That has been the case for YOU! For you, turning 55…
Stop, Look, Listen and Be Blessed
Tomorrow is the second Sunday of Advent, when the second candle — the Faith candle — is lit on the Advent wreath. We have purposed to slow down and breathe in THE REASON for this miracle season. We are looking for the sights, sounds and gentle nudges of Father God. Then I’m sure He wants…
A Return Trip Like No Other
I’ve mastered making return trips – which isn’t a compliment to myself! Case in point – going to the grocery store and picking up all the items on my list — only to get home and realize one item was missing and I had to make the return trip. In Luke 2:41-51 we read about…
The Government is on HIS Shoulders
My husband was reading his cousin’s Christmas newsletter to me.

We have had enough drama in our government to…
Pardons and the Ultimate Price Paid
Yesterday’s headlines buzzed with the news of Hunter Biden’s presidential pardon by his father, President Joe Biden. It’s a story that stirs emotions, no matter where one stands politically A father’s love is on full display — a willingness to stand by a child despite their mistakes, missteps, and sins. And honestly, were I in…
In the Waiting Room
Waiting rooms test our patience, don’t they? Whether it’s anxiously waiting for the doctor to call your name, a baby to make its grand entrance, or a red light to turn green, waiting always feels like a stretch of eternity. But here’s the thing — while we’re waiting, something is happening. Surgeries heal what’s broken.…
The First Sunday of Advent: A Season of Hope
Advent. The very word stirs up a sense of anticipation, doesn’t it? It means “coming” or “arrival,” and for us as believers, it’s a season to reflect on the most glorious arrival in history—our Savior, Jesus Christ, leaving Heaven to dwell among us. This Sunday, the first candle of the Advent wreath, the HOPE candle,…
A Good Friday at Epiphany Ranch
Though today is considered “Black Friday” for shopping and getting Christmas festivities started, it’s still Thanksgiving for us. Yesterday, we had an Austin Thanksgiving with friends and family at my Wuerch Family’s home. Lots of good food, laughter, and frolicking with my children’s new Havanese puppy, Briggs, Brennan & Kylie’s new puppy, Oliver, along with…
