An Upside Down World
Well, at least that’s the vantage point of this little guy! And, from my vantage point, it seems this world is upside down, even when we’re right side up! Get ready! Get set! GO!!!! I say that as a lead to what we are about to eat and hopefully digest as the upcoming November election…
With Every Breath I Am Able
Last night was planned and it didn’t disappoint. Carl, his daughter, Veronica and I went to the “We the Kingdom” Concert Tour, put on by the K-Love radio station’s DJs, Skip & Amy. We went an hour early to get good seats (first-come, first serve seating). We had great seats. Aisle seating for me. How…
NET-Working
I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I am watching “The Chosen” series again – starting from the beginning before I watch the new Part 3 series. As I watched Part 1, the 4th and 5th episodes on Sunday, I started thinking about NET-WORKING. Networking is when people are exchanging information and ideas for…
The Jesus Revolution
I saw the “Jesus Revolution” movie on Sunday. I couldn’t help myself – after all, I had been seeing many of my Catholic and evangelical friends posting on social media saying it is a must-see! I was glad I bowed to peer-pressure. Kelsey Grammar played his “pastor” role beautifully. BTW, the movie, just premiered 10…
Coming in First Place is….
On my oldest grandson’s birthday a few weeks ago, I spoke about the “firsts” in our lives. The first job, first kiss, first child, first grandchild, etc. He was our FIRST. Today I’m talking about another FIRST. What and Who should be FIRST place in our lives. God is the King of His Kingdom. The…
Don’t Look for the Answers
Look for the Giver. I heard those words spoken and they resonated with me. How often do we ask the stand-pat questions in a state of wonder and concern: “When? Where? How? Why?” when we should be nuzzling in close to the Giver – the One who knows it all and has all the answers.…
The Keys to a Happy, Lifelong Marriage
It’s not often that I would post someone else’s words verbatim, but when I heard these (on audiobook), I knew I had to share them with those I love most. They opened my eyes to my own marriage, the struggles we had early on, the ups and downs we encountered and though our journey became…
Dual Citizenship Has Its Privileges
I had an “aha” moment when I handed over my passport at the Mexico customs entry. I was handing over my Rite of Passage. Having a passport goes way back to my teenage years but taking the time to read the first page of it goes back to last Sunday. This is what I read:…
There’s No Age Limit for Love and Romance
They say love strikes when you least expect it. And yesterday it was proven 100% to be true. Nancy, my “single-for-17-years” dear friend lived just across the pond from me. We were among the first who moved into our brand new Hyde Park community in Tulsa in 2012. And, Bill and his wife, moved into…
Allll Aboard — for the Joy-of-Life Bandwagon!
Yesterday is gone and THIS IS THE DAY the Lord has made, so let’s be JOY-full and be glad for it! When you’ve had as many DAYS on this earth as I’ve had, you recognize each new day as a blessed day of start-overs, do-overs, rejoice-overs and be-glad-in-it overs. I live in a 55+ community…
