Holy Thursday: When Love Bent Low
It was Thursday… but not just any Thursday. The table was set, the room prepared, and the weight of what was to come hung heavy in the air. The disciples had no idea this meal would be called “The Last Supper”. They didn’t know this would be the night the Lamb of God would stoop…
God Showed Up as He Promised
Happy Birthday, Jesus, and Merry Christmas to you and yours! If you’re like me, you’ve planned, shopped, cooked, baked, and today you’re getting to rest on your laurels, or maybe you’re still at it with all-day Christmas activities. For us, the crème de la crème came yesterday –- when we attended two Christmas Eve services.…
I’m a Sap for a Good Love Story
Thursday night we attended a Christmas Open House at the home of dear church friends. How precious they are, and how welcoming they were to many people. As beautiful as their home is – in more Christmas décor than a Christmas store — is this couple, Lester and Barbara, and their story. He is 91;…
I Choose YOU!
Remember the schoolyard days when team captains picked their players one by one. I wasn’t exactly athletic, and I sure didn’t bloom like the other roses on the bush. So, you guessed it — I was usually chosen last. Oh, the sting of that self-pity! I’m so thankful I outgrew my lack of self esteem.…
The Big Picture
Ah! The big picture. Long term thinking. Those are reminders that life insurance agents share with their potential clients. As a matter of fact, my husband works with those who are purchasing life insurance to protect his/her family in the event of an early death. The insured must qualify primarily based on their health status.…
It’s a Test Worth Taking
During my last Wednesday night’s Bible Study, one of our gals shared a sweet love story. She told our group that she and her husband were in bed, and he commenced to pick up his Bible and read this to her: “Leah is patient. Leah is kind. Leah does not envy or boast. Leah is…
The First Heart Transplant
My niece is an acute heart care clinical nurse specialist at the Oklahoma Heart Institute, working directly with Dr. Kamran Muhammad. In November 2022, OHI celebrated its 1,000th TAVR procedure. The TAVR procedure is an option when open heart surgery won’t work. Dr. Muhammad, the director of the Structural Heart Disease Program at OHI performed…
The Greatest Gift EVER
Merry Christmas to you and yours! I suspect you were like me in preparation for this day. Amazon showed up for me many times leading up to this day, or yesterday (Christmas Eve) when we opened many of those wrapped-up treasures. But…..BEST. NEWS. EVER. God showed up this day (at least the day we celebrate…
Being Part of the Family of God
You can count on this Mom and Nana talking about her children and grandchildren. They are mine and I might be slightly partial to them. But, beyond that crew, I am ever thankful that I am a part of the Family of God. God is always ready to invite us to sit at His royal…
It’s Good to be Back Home
John Denver sang “Hey, it’s good to be back home again!” And Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, said, “There’s no place like home!” And, I’m singing and saying that today! Whether it’s a day, a week, or a month away from it — there’s just no place like home. Whew! I’m typing this blog…
