How Do We Mend?
We don’t use the word “mend” very much these days. But, this day I’d like to use MEND in capital letters. I remember my mama mending a tear in my dress. Mending means to make something worn, torn, or otherwise damaged usable by repairing, restoring or fixing. The news of Charlie Kirk’s passing still weighs…
From Family Reunion to Kingdom Calling
The Noble Reunion of 2025 is in the books! The hugs were tight, the “I love you’s” were plentiful, and the memories? We’re already getting excited about next year’s reunion in Carlsbad, California! Sure, it was a bit of a workout (my feet will testify!), but it was a holy kind of exhaustion — the…
On the Road Again… and Grateful for the Ride!
We’re packed to the brim — literally and emotionally — as Carl and I hit the road to Fort Worth, Texas, for the annual Noble Family Reunion. The trunk? Loaded with over 75 Silent Auction items. My heart? Loaded with anticipation, love, and just a smidge of “please Lord, let this all come together.” This…
Happy Father’s Day – The Kids are Watching so Please — Step it Up!
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…
I Will Not Let Go
I Will Not Let God Go“I will not let you go unless You bless me.” Genesis 32:26 Now that’s a bold thing to say when we’re locked in a wrestling match — with God, no less! That’s exactly what Jacob did. God had already promised him blessings — land, family, influence, legacy — the works!…
Honoring Sacrifice, Unity, and Hope
I’ve been looking forward to this day! We commemorate two pivotal moments in our nation’s history: Martin Luther King Jr. Day and the Presidential Inauguration Day. Each carries profound significance, not only for the leaders we honor but also for the path forward they inspire in all of us. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave…
Love, Leadership, and Turning the Tide
November 22, 1963 – I remember that date well. Do you? For me, it’s crystal clear. I was sitting in my 10th-grade Geometry class in my hometown of Dallas, Texas. Our principal’s voice over the P.A. system still echoes in my heart: “Our President has been shot—let us pray.” Later, we would hear: “Our President…
This is What Nobility Looks Like
Today I get to celebrate my NOBLE husband! It’s his birthday! It’s easy to talk about nobility when you have a name like NOBLE, but it’s much harder to live it out every day. My husband, Carl Noble, does exactly that. By name and by character, he is a man of integrity, kindness, honor, faith,…
What Side are You On?
The word, consecrate, stands out to me today. Consecrate: to make something or declare something sacred, blessed, sanctified, make holy, dedicated to God, devoted, reserved, anointed, set apart. In Luke 2, we read that Jesus’ parents took Him to the temple to be consecrated to God. We took that seriously as the template for consecrating…
Because of Her
On July 12th, 1911, an angel came to earth. Edna Pearl (Halbert) Wheat. And, yes, she was a pearl! I cherish this photo of her and my one granddaughter, Alexia Wallace. I love the “before” and “after” of Alexia getting hold of that bottle. I treasure photos like this, because they remind me of where…
