Bring on the Romance with Love Songs
It’s just a few days until Valentine’s Day so it’s time to get our love songs play list ready to go! When my then-boyfriend (later, my husband) and I were dating, we had a favorite “puppy love” song, Bobby Vee’s “My Venus in Blue Jeans” — LOL! As we continued dating, we crooned over “Hey…
Jesus Loves Me — This I Know
Life happens. Often, it happens because of negative circumstances and people. Your car gets rear-ended by another car moving way too fast. You bumble the opportunity to encourage someone. You fail at having a good attitude at that appointment. You have trouble forgiving someone for THAT thing they forgot to do. Your feelings get hurt…
Thanks for the Memories, Kenny
So what’s a girl to do on a day when she hears that a dear friend has passed away – especially when she’s in quarantine because of the C-virus? And, when she gets many text messages from friends and family who offer her condolences. She remembers. And, she recalls the love she shared with her…
The Cray Cray Love of Parents and God
I’m watching you, moms and dads. You’re the ones who continue to post photos and videos of your child or children receiving awards for their intellectual achievements and athletic abilities (even though some of you admitted that your child’s team never won a game – they still received an award). You are the ones standing…

Blast from the past! Did you ever take a flower (usually a daisy or a rose) and proceed to pluck off one petal at a time and repeat the words “He loves me; He loves me not”? Playing that little game represented the truth between whether that cute boy loved us or not. I don’t…
Tell Your Heart to Beat Again
Being in Austin brought an extra blessing on Saturday night, because I was able to attend Danny Gokey and Mandisa’s “Rise Out of the Dark” Tour. You’ll remember them as finalists on “The American Idol” Show (seasons 8 and 5 respectively). Especially endearing, was one of Mandisa’s dancers, Sydni Chambers, who is my kids’, Ryan…
Jesus Loves Me – This I Know!
Life happens. You hit and fractured your toes when you ran into the end of the door and have to go to the ER. You were attacked by woman-sucking mosquitoes and now you must carry an anti-itch “After Bite” oil for relief. You have to call an Exterminator to get rid of the pests. A…
Sweet and Romantic Love Songs
When my then-boyfriend (later, my husband) and I were dating (young things that we were), we had a favorite “puppy love” song, Bobby Vee’s “My Venus in Blue Jeans” — LOL! As we continued dating, we crooned over “Hey Paula, I Wanna’ Marry You” and then being avid musical theater fans, “our song” was The…
He loves me. He loves me not.
Remember taking a flower and “playing the game “He loves me; He loves me not”, while picking one petal off a flower (usually a daisy or a rose) for each phrase? The phrase we said at the last petal represented the truth between whether that cute boy loved us or not. I don’t know if…
