Follow the Star

Saturday night, we literally followed THE STAR!Not a twinkle on top of a tree — not a glittering yard decoration — but THE Star — Jesus. The One who came from heaven to earth and now leads us all the way home again. We attended the Follow the Star outdoor production at Good Shepherd Church…

The Blessings Keep Coming

Here we are — the day after Thanksgiving. The dishes were washed, the leftovers were stacked in the fridge and the cooks of America finally sat down for the first time in 48 hours. For some, today is the great exhale after pouring heart and soul into a feast of epic proportions. For others? It’s…

Take a Nap – God’s Got You

It’s no secret that I’m an early riser. Always have been. I was the kid who bounced out of bed at 6 a.m. while the rest of the house was still snoozing. That hasn’t changed much over the years. The only difference is that now, I’ve added an important ritual to my day: the mid-day…

Is Your Life a Little…Bland?

I took a bite of my yogurt, tossed in a few blueberries, crunched some granola, and followed it up with a long sip of coffee. Ah, the breakfast of champions. Except—yuck. The coffee was bland. No coconut flavor. No French vanilla joy. Thirty minutes into breakfast, it hit me. Did I even put a pod…

Our Hero Never Misses a Rescue

I’ve always been a sucker for a good hero story. Blame it on my childhood attraction to Superman – first in comic books and then the big screen. Remember the slogan? “Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Look up in the sky!…

The Lost Sheep

The phone rings. A telephone solicitor asks the young boy who answers, “Can I speak to your mother?”“She’s outside,” the boy replies.“What about your father?”“He’s outside, too.”“Well… who is there?”“The police.”“The police?! Why?”“They’re helping my mom and dad find me… I’m hiding in the closet!” That dear mama nearly fainted — until she found out…

Let’s Mix and Mingle

One of the highlights of our 60+ active adult community is the Thursday night “Mix and Mingle.” It’s dinner with a theme — a Luau, Western night, or a 50’s Sock Hop (poodle skirts included). But the real draw? The people. The mix is the food and fun. The mingle is where the blessings happen…

Let the Children Come to Me

Jesus said: “Let the little children come to me!” Big or little — Old or Young — We are His children. Sincerely — I know my age and I know I am not qualified to ride the 12 and under rides. But, I am still riding the joy-of-life bandwagon. Let’s be honest — some folks…

Sweet Sleep for Jesus AND Me

Yes, Jesus was sound asleep.Not pacing. Not panicking. Not Googling “how to survive a storm on the Sea of Galilee.”He was in the stern of the boat…sound asleep on a pillow. Meanwhile, the disciples were losing their ever-loving minds. Winds howling. Waves crashing. Boats rocking. Faith? Overboard. “Don’t You care that we’re drowning?” they cried.…

Let There Be Light

Here’s the truth about darkness. Darkness is absent of light. And what about dark thoughts? Think about it. The more we dwell on our negative feelings or confront someone that is negative, the darker it becomes. The more we watch political news, and listen to the he said/she said stuff, and the backbiting between opposing…
