Living in the Peace Zone
I watched my dear Larry (Staci’s husband — my bonus son), speak to his daughter on the eve of her wedding. As he looked at her, his voice wobbled and the tears started to flow. And, his first look at her the next day — adorned in her beautiful wedding gown — those tears flowed…
Yes! It’s Father’s Day — for all remarkable, loving, guiding, mentoring and cheering dads and men who show up as role models for those in your sphere of influence. That includes my dear Carl and our sons, Ryan Wuerch, Larry Wallace and Terrell Gates! We’re sure to hear a Father’s Dad message at our churches…
Aw! February — the month where love is on full display, from heart-shaped chocolates to mushy greeting cards. But today, love takes center stage for a far greater reason — my daughter, Staci Wallace, and my bonus son, Larry Wallace, are celebrating 28 years of marriage! Happy Anniversary, my loves! You are living, breathing examples…
The story behind this photo is worth a million words. With my lack of brevity, I could expound on it with that many words, but I won’t. This is my beloved son, Larry Wallace, who assumed he was far enough from the lake as he seeded his pastures, but, unfortunately, he ran over an underground…
Our trip to East Texas and Epiphany Ranch didn’t disappoint! We took advantage of the wonderful, somewhat cooler temperatures. We went to see my sweet cousin, Mary Ellen Snow, who moved to Tyler, TX from Frisco, TX. We were neighbors in Frisco, buds in Tulsa and Dallas before that. It looks like the cousins still…
It is an honor, on this 9th day of June, to celebrate my “other” son. Yes, I have one son by birth and the “other” son was God’s gift to my daughter, Staci, their two children, Payton and Alexia, ME and so many others look up to him, his wisdom, and his tender and loving…
How are you at remembering names? I’ll reveal my “issue”. Remembering names hasn’t been one of my positive assets. My granddaughter was with me at an event. I asked her to “work with me on introductions”. I said, “If I remember their name, I’ll simply say their name and introduce you, but if I don’t,…
We can count on it! I apologize right up front for this being an almost redundant blog each year on this day. But, each year, I think about what the Lord did, and I can’t help but celebrate. This story is made possible…..only, WITH GOD. Today is the 26th anniversary of my children – Larry…
Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall – all you have to do is call, and he’ll come running. Please let me introduce you to that beautiful man on his birthday. Larry Wallace, my daughter’s husband; Payton and Alexia’s dad and I call him my son! We share him with the many who he “fathers”, “friends”, and…
Pictures speak louder than words, but since I, being a widow with excess words to deliver, will provide this blog with words AND pictures. This first photo is of my beloved son by marriage (Staci’s husband) and his best “other” friend than Staci – his John Deere Tractor. His dream come true. His baby. His…
