Annivesary Blessings & Month-a-Versary Blessings
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,…
Expect the Unexpected
I am closely acquainted with expectations. I have in mind exactly how things should go on my birthday, vacation, holiday, or any other experience. At this time of year, I’m taking some ques from Mary, Jesus’ mother, who learned to expect the unexpected. She became a role model for us when it comes to expectations.…
The Darkest Day or Brightest Day?
Yesterday, I received a text message that read: “Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade”. The text sender said: “God did it! Roe v. Wade overturned. Many intercessors have labored for years to see this come to past. Prayers prayed and prayers answered. God hears and God acts. Praise be to God!” Our president declared “This…
This Just Wasn’t MY Plan
What happens when our intentions, our goals, or our plans goes awry? “This isn’t what I (or we) planned!” How well I remember that place of feeling stuck. Our lives were not going the way we had planned. Although it was always the greatest desire of our hearts to trust the Father completely, trusting wasn’t…
Congrats Grads 🎈🎈Oh the Places You Will Go!
I have thoroughly enjoyed the photos of kindergartners to college graduates, along with the accolades that you moms and dads, friends and family members have been posting. No question — Graduation Day is exciting, sweet and, oftentimes, combined with fear and trepidation about what the future holds. “Where are they going? What are they going…
And Let the Games Begin
The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics competitions are already underway in curling, women’s ice hockey and freestyle skiing. And, if we want to see the Opening Ceremonies (the official start of the Games) we can get our ring-side seat in our homes this morning at 6 am (in China, it is 8 pm). This year’s Winter…
That’s Gotta Hurt
This photo came up on my timeline a few days ago. It merits a repeat, at least in my memory. We were out for a family outing to the Pumpkin Patch in Tulsa. I saw the scarecrow and thought it would be a great photo. What I didn’t see was the big stick holding him…
