YOU-Turns
We all know what a U-turn is — that moment when we realize we’re heading the wrong direction, and the only option is to turn around. (And maybe pray no one’s watching when we make it an extra-wide turn.) But have you ever thought about the YOU-turns we need in life? The ones where we…
Hallelujah! HE LIVES!
The tomb is empty.The grave clothes folded.The stone? Rolled away — not by men, but by the hand of the Almighty.Death lost its grip.Hell lost its claim.And hope?It rose with Him. Jesus didn’t just die for us — He rose for us.He didn’t just promise resurrection — He proved it.The One who was mocked, beaten,…
He Nailed It — So We Could Live It
(Silent Saturday Edition)Yesterday, He nailed it. Not like a gymnast sticking a landing or a student acing the exam. No, Jesus really nailed it. On that cross, He absorbed every drop of judgment we deserved — bloodied, bruised, beaten. He didn’t just die for us. He died instead of us. The weight of sin drove…
Stolen Jewelry and a Stubbed Toe
It was a typical Wednesday at the Vincentian Family Center — laughing with volunteers, helping shoppers find treasures, and watching joy unfold in unexpected places. Whether someone came looking for a bargain or just curiosity brought them in, one thing was certain: needs were being met, and hearts were being lifted. Where else can you…
LIGHT — It’s My Christmas Word Time!
The celebration of our Lord’s birth wrapped up yesterday, and oh, what a sweet time it was! We had Christmas with Carl’s family last Sunday and celebrated with my Wuerch Family yesterday. Our East Texas crew joined the festivities via phone calls, UPS deliveries, and lots of texts. We may have been scattered, but we…
The Giver of Good Things
We’re still a ways off from President-Elect Trump’s inauguration, but he sure isn’t letting any grass grow under his feet! As he builds his team, we do our part by praying daily for his safety, wisdom, and God’s divine will for our nation. And isn’t it a relief to know that our joy, peace, and…
A Good Friday at Epiphany Ranch
Though today is considered “Black Friday” for shopping and getting Christmas festivities started, it’s still Thanksgiving for us. Yesterday, we had an Austin Thanksgiving with friends and family at my Wuerch Family’s home. Lots of good food, laughter, and frolicking with my children’s new Havanese puppy, Briggs, Brennan & Kylie’s new puppy, Oliver, along with…
Thanksgiving Starts with THANK YOU!
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, but why wait to start giving thanks? Happy Thanksgiving to all my wonderful social media friends and family! THANK YOU for shining brightly with God’s love and encouraging me along the way. You are such a blessing to me! As a kid, did your mom or dad ever nudge you with a…
Singing Our Faith
My mama had a way of getting through the toughest days — she sang her faith. Whether she was caring for my sick daddy or guiding me, her songs were like prayers set to melody. They carried her through sleepless nights and busy days, reminding me that singing is one of the purest ways to…
It’s Sheer De-Light!
When I challenge myself to name things that delight me, it’s easy to come up with a list: my children and grandchildren who give me sweet hugs every time I see them. A sweet handwritten note on a little card from my husband. The overwhelming joy of a newborn baby. The loveliness of the fall…
