About Our Father’s Business?
I have five grandsons. I am watching each one come into their own desires for their future. Of course, my sons would hope their boys wanted to follow in their “business” footsteps, but so far, each of those sons are choosing their own way. It isn’t because those boys don’t value and appreciate their fathers’…
Time for Boxing
Christmas Day was special for us at Epiphany Ranch, and then the day after, the 26th, after a yummy brisket lunch, we headed home to celebrate Christmas with our Canadian family members who have been here celebrating our American holiday traditions. Them being here reminds me of Canada’s statutory holiday on December 26th called Boxing…
Blessed are They who Believe
My blog title today was inspired by Luke 1:45 “Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill His promises to her!” Mary’s cousin, Elizabeth, proclaimed those affirming words to Mary after a long trip from Nazareth. It is only 9 days until Christmas AND 15 days until 2024, but who’s counting? This…
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…
