What Color Is Your Angel?
Staci and I were getting out of the car at the store, when Staci ran over to a nearby parked car. One of the ladies was getting out all the tools needed to change a flat tire, while the other lady was looking at a YouTube video telling how to do it. (LOL! Thank God…
Let There Be Light
We all experienced times of darkness in our lives. There’s just no way to escape it: a season of regret, a time of the passing of a loved one, a debilitating illness, a financial set back, bad decisions, a huge disappointment, and so many more occasions to “be in the dark”. Here’s the truth about…
This is the Day the Lord Has Made
THIS IS THE DAY the Lord has made! It was God’s from the beginning and it is still the DAY He made — so let’s be joyful in it! I’ve watched my newsfeed this morning, I’ve seen countless photos of cute little kids all ready to go on their first Trick or Treating experience,…
God’s Wrecking Crew
Day 19 — Photo Inspiration — “We could wreck the world — Jesus saves” As we were driving down a Texas highway, my granddaughter and I saw this truck with this message on it. Of course it was a seize-the-moment — “photo inspiration”! Lexi took the photo for me! I’ll admit — I was puzzled…
Magic is Still in the Air
It’s a “Silent Night”, here in Washington, as the children are nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of sugar plums (or at least the last piece of Jesus’ birthday cake they ate tonight) is dancing in their heads. But before now, it was a full, busy day! Baseball practice, buying some things with…
You’re My Sunshine — Even When it Rains
I’ve thought about the positive impact that some special people have had in my life (you know who you are), and just by watching you and being around you, I feel energized. Your spirit of encouragement is contagious. I can’t be down in your presence because you are such a light — your glow rubs…
No Man is an Island
English poet John Donne penned the words: “No man is an island”, which paved the way for this beautiful song: “No man is an island, No man stands alone. Each man’s joy is joy to me. Each man’s grief is my own. We need one another, so I will defend Each man as my brother,…
In the Light of Eternity
One of my favorite sayings is “In the light of eternity….it just won’t matter”! And, I usually say it when discussions go controversial, or when I’m making a trivial decision. Bottom line, like the “God quote” here, this life is just so short, why should we sweat the small stuff? We’re going to spend much…
No Prayer is too Small for our Lord to Handle
Prayer has unbelievable benefits to us, even when we’re just praying about a lost set of car keys or finding our cell phone. Praying for the little things, as well as the big things, helps us to acknowledge our dependence on God. When we become so self-sufficient that we don’t leave room for God’s ideas,…
“V” is for VICTORY
Knowing my Honey would have a major surgery the next day, I called on my “walking/praying” buddies, Karen and Sheila. It was time to declare VICTORY as we made our seven laps around the hospital (like Joshua and his troops did, marching around the walls of Jericho). It was a hot day in Tulsa —…
