Because I Said So
I remember my mama’s comeback when I would ask “Why do I have to do that?” Her reply? “Because I said so!” No other explanation was needed. She said so! Even when we don’t understand, we submit to obedience. Did you know there are 1,050 commands in the New Testament alone? God often asks us…
You’re On Your Way
I have loved the flood of graduation photos on my social feeds. Some mighty proud parents and beaming family members have risen to the occasion for their graduates. Last Sunday, we attended the Baccalaureate ceremonies for Carl’s grandson (my bonus grandson), Parker Gates. And, Thursday night, we watched him receive his diploma from Austin’s Westlake…
Happy St. Patrick’s Day
I am wearing “green” today! After all, it’s St. Patrick’s Day and the most important thing about this day is that we wear green, so we don’t get pinched!! NOT! I am also wearing my Celtic cross! It is said that the Celtic cross was introduced by St Patrick, who was attempting to convert the…
Expecting 2024 to be the Best Year Ever
I love that round number, 2024. My grandson, Payton, was born in 2000. That means we’ve been able to keep up with his age because it’s the same two digits of the year. He’ll be 24 in 2024. I’m counting on two additions to our family in 2024. Payton, the upcoming 24-year-old grandson and his…
God’s Creation Can Be Unruly
Carl has “deer” issues. He put out an array of flowers in big pots around his home. The next day, he went out to check his plantings. Many of the flowers — gone. He knew the culprits were the deer who thrive in his neighborhood. This community has many homes and cars that move about.…

Today, July 8th, 2023, I am remembering a life, a life journey, a love, the adventures of love, the children and grandchildren that came from those adventures AND, the ability to carry on living life to the fullest. Fifty-seven (57) years ago today, I married my best friend, my Ron. Since he graduated to heaven…
The Man and the Legend
It is an honor, on this 9th day of June, to celebrate my “other” son. Yes, I have one son by birth and the “other” son was God’s gift to my daughter, Staci, their two children, Payton and Alexia, ME and so many others look up to him, his wisdom, and his tender and loving…
Graduates! You Have Been Chosen!
I can’t help myself as I have been covering graduations for days now. Maybe this will be the big finale as it is my grandson’s graduation today! Brennan Keith Wuerch graduates from Regents School of Austin High School. Look out, University of Mary Hardin Baylor. He is almost there! And, YOU, most likely, have friends…
Take That and…..That!
Before watching the “Jesus Revolution” movie, we were entertained with the trailers of upcoming movies. After watching the trailer to the “Big George Foreman” true-story movie, I knew I wanted to see it! I bought tickets in advance and saw it on Thursday. The movie gives an up close and personal view of a broken,…
