Go to Hell, Satan!
Yikes! Donna! You don’t talk like that! I don’t, but maybe I should! Actually, that title refers to Dolly’s new song from her recent Christmas special, “Dolly Parton’s Mountain Magic Christmas”. In the middle of the song, she exclaims: “Brothers and Sisters! I’m here to tell you that Satan is real and walking amongst us…
Take Back What the Enemy Stole
I purchased this little squirrel years ago at an after Thanksgiving 70%-Off Fall decor sale. I had to buy him because he reminded me of the sandwich-snatching squirrel we met up with at Sea World. My daughter reminded me of the encounter. We had just sat down in a shady spot to eat our peanut…
Our First Line of Defense
My blog inspiration for this day is slow in coming, Soon the creative juices start to flow. It starts with an annoying, over-sized, buzzing horse fly that overflew his bounds since the night before. I attempt tactical warfare — swatting and spraying – but the beast lives on. Then, while sitting at my desk, he…
Is Life Bland to You?
I enjoy taking a bite of my yogurt, blueberries, and granola with a quick follow-up of coffee. There’s something about having a sweet taste combined with yummy coffee. I go for the flavored-coffee pods. This day, however, the coffee is bland every time I take a sip. I carry on with it being bland through…
News Alert: Jesus is no Longer on the Cross
And neither should we be! Remember the two men in white (angels) that showed up as Jesus ascended to heaven? They said, “Men of Galilee, why are you standing there looking at the sky? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will return in the same way as you have seen…
The Abundant Life – How Sweet it is!
I’ve taken to the road again. My cross country journeys slowed down when I moved to Austin amidst the pandemic. So, I was ready for this little 3-days of “touch and go” opportunities! First, I made my way to Dallas for a belated Valentine’s celebration with my North Texas crew — Larry, Staci, Payton and…
A Happy and Blessed New Year to You and Yours
I really mean it when I say: “Happy and Blessed New Year!” Oh that I were a wise prophet promising that 2022 is going to be a banner year of multiplied blessings for all. I’m not a prophet, but I assure you that God promised an abundant life to us (John 10:10), so we might…
Merry Christmas to You and Yours
Happy Birthday, Jesus! Joy to the world the Lord is come! Let earth receive her King! Many joys and blessings to my dear, encouraging, and supportive, friends and family! Up and at ‘em is the full-of-life-and-joy kiddos this morning. Maybe the rest of us are moving at a slower pace, seeking just a few…
May the Fourth Be with You
That’s my play on words from Star Wars as I invite you to join me in celebrating this 4th Sunday of Advent. Now, we’re on the fast track to Christmas. It’s very different for us this year. My daughter and family made big adjustments when they bought 60 acres of property in Rusk, TX, sold…
Can this Pain be for Good?
Yesterday was the 20th anniversary of 9/11. We remembered. And, as horrendous that day was, so are the atrocities of evil in Afghanistan. And, then there are the victims of the recent hurricanes that ravaged homes and lives. And, what about those who have suffered and died from Covid? Suffering and pain continue. Of course,…
