My Girl
She is an anomaly. Anomaly means something that deviates from what is standard, normal, or expected. She isn’t any of those nouns or adverbs! Whatever conundrum she faces – she figures out a way to jump over it or crawl under it, go through it or embrace it. God broke the mold when He made…
If I Were God, I Would Have….
Good thing I’m NOT God because I would have sure messed things up many times over with my ideas, thoughts, and desires. Garth Brooks sang “I thank God for unanswered prayers.” And I agree, I thank God for not answering many of my prayers If He had answered ‘yes’ to many of those prayers, no…
Was Jesus an Invited Guest at Your Table?
Oh, yes, He was and is and will forever be! Our most welcomed and invited family member – our big Brother. I remember when my big brother would come home, pick me up and give me the biggest bear hug. My big brother was my idol. He always (no matter our ages) introduced me as…
The Name Above All Names
I went back to bed after I posted my blog for the day. I wanted to grab just a few more winks before I started my day. I was restless though. In my head-voice, I started saying “Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.” Then I started thinking about what that name means. I didn’t have…
Walking and Talking with Jesus
Can you imagine walking, talking, eating and laughing with Jesus day in and day out? I believe He had to lighten up and laugh with those misfits He called to be with Him 24/7 for three-and-a-half years. I appreciate how THE CHOSEN film series has captured some of those shenanigans and how patient Jesus is…
Bent Out of Shape
When I’ve watched the “America’s Got Talent” TV show, without fail, there is always a contortionist who can bend their limbs every which way. I grimace and can hardly watch them. Literally, we can say: “They are all bent out of shape!” Sometimes, we experience aches and pains and laugh about it. Maybe you’ve heard…
Can I Really Live Like Jesus?
I’ve started back at the beginning of watching “The Chosen” series. I wanted Jesus’ life in movie form to remind and inspire me once again about Jesus’ walking this earth before I start on the new Season 3. What I have seen in this incredible series makes me love our real Jesus even more. “Can…
Let’s Take a Walk
I’ve loved seeing the Easter photos of families enjoying their Easter celebrations – their new Easter clothes, meals together, and egg hunts. My youngest two grands (16 and 18) still hunt for the eggs that their mama “rabbit” hid in their back yard. I know Mama Rabbit’s story – she wants to hold onto the…
Holy Maundy Thursday
Remember when, on Thursdays, we often tagged our photos on social media #TBT (Throwback Thursday) – meaning a blast from the past. This is my little family in 1980 at our church in Shawnee, OK, It was a big deal — big enough to dress up for the big Easter celebration. Had to get those…
Hosanna! Holy is His Name!
My insides cringed when he said it. Sucking in a short, sharp breath, I realized that I would never grow accustomed to hearing Jesus’ name used while swearing. My head bowed slightly as my heart prayed, “Jesus is Lord.” We know that God’s name is holy. The commandments given to Moses reveal that. If that…
