The Book-End of Legacy
I’ve shared before about how our family makes really big deals about each other’s birthdays. After all — that’s the day that God presented us to this world for His purpose and pan. It IS a big deal. But on milestone birthdays, it is over-the-top honoring and celebrating. This year it was Alexia Wallace’s (my…
Doing Our Part for Our Generation…..And the Next
People need Godly role models in their lives — pacesetters who set the pace for others to follow. That’s the way Jesus set the example for His disciples — so that they would carry on His example to others. Think about how He encouraged, motivated, and stirred up the gifts of those around Him. He…
Happy Anniversary #51
A few days ago, I was with a group of ladies, and in casual conversation, I asked the gal beside me how long she’d been married. She said “44 long years – some days I think ‘That’s enough, already!’” Then she laughed and I knew she was just kidding, but that didn’t stop me from…
Where Were You on November 22nd, 1963?
I have many memories from growing up here in my home town of Dallas, but none are more vivid than this day, November 22, 1963. I was in my 10th grade Geometry class at South Oak Cliff High School. I had so wanted to be with some of my friends whose parents took them downtown…
We’ve Only Just Begun
That was one of our favorite songs (released in 1970) by The Carpenters. The characters in the song were a couple, just married, and were looking forward to new horizons, new roads to choose, with so much life ahead of them. We sang that song completely unaware of what lie ahead….but as long as we…

Happy Birthday, My Love!
September 12th — the day this beautiful, loving, compassionate and caring man, Ronald Jonathan David Wuerch, was born — 67 years ago. To have known this man would have been an honor, but to have loved and been loved by him was the greatest joy and blessing that God could have ever given me. I…
Having a Blast Until I Blast Out of Here!
48 years ago today, July 8, 1966 — I married the love of my life, I was 17; he was 18 — and that was after a LONG 5 years courtship — since 12 & 13! And, if I had it to do over again, I’d do it ALL OVER AGAIN! Though many said “It…
