Joyful, Joyful, We Adore You
Today marks the third Sunday of Advent, a perfect time to sing, “Go Tell It on the Mountain!” I’m not suggesting we lace up our hiking boots and scale a mountain! Let’s start right where we are — at ground zero — and let the JOY of Christ’s coming shine through us. The third candle…
Let’s Keep Playing
Isn’t it easy for the ho-humness demands of daily life to take us to the town of Grumpydom! Well, not on my watch! I’m steering clear of that dreary place! You’ll find me on the joy-of-life express, and I want you to hop aboard with me. So many folks are caught up in the humdrum…
Contented
It is wonderful to wake up in my bed after several days in Lubbock TX. I was given a full blown tour of my husband’s beloved Texas Tech campus, enjoyed meals with his family and friends, and attended his dear friend’s memorial service. Thanks be to God for home! Home sweet home. There’s no place…
Joyful, Joyful, We Adore You
Today is the third Sunday of Advent and we should be singing “Go Tell It on the Mountain”! Not necessarily from a mountain. That would mean we’d have to go climbing! Perhaps we can start right here at ground zero to be joyful and full of the good news of Christ’s coming to this earth…
Lord, Please Make Me a Fountain — Not a Drain
I had an “aha” moment as I was adding water to the base of my children’s fountain. In these hot temperatures, the water evaporates quickly so it requires an occasional fill-up. I started thinking about how to be an unstoppable fountain of life and not a drain. Putting it into “people terms” – it’s striving…
Rejoice and Go Tell It On the Mountain
Yesterday was the third Sunday of Advent and we should be singing “Go Tell It on the Mountain”! Not necessarily from a mountain. That would mean we’d have to go climbing! Perhaps we can start right here at ground zero to be joyful and full of the good news of Christ’s coming to this earth…
Because You Deserve to Be Happy
That was the “subject” on my email from Ulta yesterday morning. It jumped out at me. That word, “deserve”, says it all. We live in a self-gratification, self-centered, self-entitlement, and selfie world. I get it! We all want to be happy. Isn’t that the greatest goal in life? I loved Bobby Ferrin’s upbeat, reggae song,…
Look What the Lord Has Done!
My best laid plans were to be in Tulsa this weekend for a very special event, my godson’s little sister’s First Communion and then yesterday, to attend my godson’s swim meet. God wasn’t surprised by me having to cancel because of the flu that literally slowed me down to a snail’s pace for the last…
Bah Humbug or Good News of Great Joy
“Bah Humbug” is an expression used to show disgust at the Christmas season, made famous by Ebenezer Scrooge in the Charles Dickens novel ‘A Christmas Carol’. Ever had that “Bah Humbug” feeling? With all the “Joy to the World”, “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” and all the other songs of goodwill and glad tidings…
