Healing Waters
I saw this photo I took years ago on my timeline, and here comes today’s blog. I remember those waters. My daughter and I were in a kayak in Broken Bow Lake, OK. I was looking back from whence we came. We maneuvered ourselves around that obstruction, away from those rushing waters. Rushing waters, still…
Let’s Chop Down Some Trees
I read this story on my friend’s FB page. It was worthy of paying it forward. My friend wrote: “One night, when my son who was five years old, he spent the night with me. After lying in bed for a while, after the lights were out, he suddenly sat up and asked, “Why did…
Miracles in our Midst
I don’t want this blog to alienate anyone who isn’t on the same page as us. We are all children of God. That is what matters most. I am married to an unrelenting, bold, determined and true patriot. He is all about the “land of the free and the home of the brave”. He served…
A New Voice
In a world filled with noise, it’s easy to feel like our voices get lost in the chaos. Yet, last week, a remarkable story from the Mayo Clinic reminds us of the profound impact a single voice can have. Marty Kedian, a 59-year-old man diagnosed with a rare form of laryngeal cancer, underwent the world’s…
Breaking News: God is Still on His Throne
When I published my Saturday’s blog and this image: “Breaking News – God is still in Control OF EVERY SITUATION – No Need to Panic”, I had no idea of the horrendous events that would take place later in the day. One of my blog readers commented with this one word: “Prophetic”! As I type…
God is Still in Control
We’re in the thick of “He said, She said. They said. Let him go, Let him stay!” The race for our next president is intensifying. I married a man passionate about our election privileges and responsibilities, so we keep vigil in our actions, reactions, and prayers. Time flies in the election process, and soon we’ll…
Because of Her
On July 12th, 1911, an angel came to earth. Edna Pearl (Halbert) Wheat. And, yes, she was a pearl! I cherish this photo of her and my one granddaughter, Alexia Wallace. I love the “before” and “after” of Alexia getting hold of that bottle. I treasure photos like this, because they remind me of where…
Believe it and Receive it
Faith is like a pair of glasses that let us see the future before it happens. It’s the ability to believe in something before we actually see it with our eyes. You know how some folks say, “I’ll believe it when I see it”? Well, God flips that right around: “You’ll see it when you…
People Pleasers or God Pleasers
Paul the Apostle gave us his answer to being a people pleaser or God pleaser. “I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant.” Galatians 1:10 People-pleasing is not a virtue many of us strive to cultivate. People-influencing or people-winning…
Time Sure Flies
Holy moly! Can you believe it? We’ve already blown through half of this year. Before we know it, we’ll be pulling out our Christmas decor’ and creating gift lists. Remember when we were kids, and time seemed to crawl? Waiting for summer vacation felt like an eternity. I know time is crawling for my grandson…
