Celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King’s Legacy
I’m old enough to remember when Dr. King was assassinated on April 4, 1968 – 56 years ago. That date gives me pause. It did then when I was holding my one-year-old baby boy in my arms and hearing the horrendous news of the assassination of this passionate, honorable man. Martin Luther endeavored to make…
The Pursuit of God
That’s my blog title as well as my greatest desire — to be in pursuit of God. That means I purpose to follow, run after, chase Him, and even catch Him and His unchanging, loving, caring and peace-filled ways. A. W. Tozer’s “The Pursuit of God” is a classic Christian devotional book written in 1948.…
I Like to be Right. Who doesn’t? Right?
But I’d also like to think I’m able to admit when I’m wrong. It’s simple to admit the little mistakes, apologize and ask forgiveness. Maybe I accidentally left my phone at home and had to turn around and go back home to get it – making me late for my volunteer job at the family…

The 50th anniversary is famously known as the golden wedding anniversary, with gold being both the milestone’s associated color and the gift material.

I had an Epiphany at the Festival
Yesterday, I blogged about Epiphany AND we celebrated it in Fort Worth. It was the 12th and final day of Christmas, as well as the day that the Magi offered their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh to the Christ Child in the Holy Family’s home. I certainly had an “epiphany” (that’s an ah-ha moment…
On the 12th Day of Christmas….Epiphany
“On the 12th day of Christmas my true love gave to me…….” Let’s talk about those 12 days of Christmas. The true Christmas season starts on Christmas Day, the 25th. And it marks the official start of the 12 days of Christmas, and that relentlessly stick-in-your-head Christmas carol. But there’s so much more than the…
