Let’s Get Out the Golden Ruler
We have heard the Golden Rule many times. Jesus was being harassed by people who wanted to be right more than they wanted to do what was right. The Pharisees and Sadducees didn’t even like each other. But they were united in their dislike of this man, Jesus. He was causing people to question their…
My Christmas Gift to You
The Birthday Party is over – or is it? Maybe the party just got started! Jesus’ birthday isn’t one day only. It is a party that goes on from here to eternity. Jesus has been celebrated by those of us who believe in Him. For others, He has been tolerated because many think Christmas is…
Sacred Moments at the Well
Every morning, I’m up and at ‘em by 4:30 am. It’s a must to look over the text of my blog one more time before I hit the “post” button. I’m like clock-work with my daily deliveries – on FB, my Google blogger page and MyPeaceZone.com. I always feel like I’m “reporting for duty” each…
Hanging Out at the Well
Jesus sat by a well. Jacob’s well. Jacob gave that well to his son, Joseph. So, what well are WE digging for OUR children? Jesus is on purpose. He is waiting on a woman. This woman with a past comes at noon because she doesn’t want to deal with the talk of others. Jesus says…
Water for our Thirsty Souls
A few years ago, in Cabo San Lucas, Bryson, my youngest grandson, and I were sitting on the deck overlooking the Sea of Cortez. We were talking about a recent and devastating tsunami. He asks me: “What is it that you can’t live without, but it can also kill you?”My “thinker” kicked in and I…
My Deep Well is Overflowing
Friday night, I was a panel of one for a “Girls Night Out” event at church. It was to be a 19-minute “Talk with Nana”. Me being a widow and me having a vast storage of content inside me needing to be released, meant I had to withhold so much inside me. Some of that…
How Deep is Your Well?
I sure like it when I can just keep rollin’ on! This blog was inspired by yesterday’s blog where I spoke of our mission fields being right where we are at any given moment. It’s the one-foot square of humble, sacred earth beneath our feet. In other words, where we are is our mission field.…
MY Mercies are New Every Morning
I said “Lord, have mercy!” several times in my blog yesterday. I wish that those words were my words. I mean MY mercies. I read this scripture: “The faithful love of the LORD never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is His faithfulness; His mercies are new every morning.” (Lamentations 3:22-23) I know those words…
Got Thirst? Good Fluid Indicator
It isn’t my first time to experience the Austin heat. I remember last year chasing chickens back into their pen at my children’s ranch during this Austin heat. I thought I was about to have a heat stroke by the time I rounded them all up. But, that was simply a try-out for the real…
What is that Fragrance?
My grandson was riding in my car with me and I let him smell the very small bottle of cologne I keep in my driver’s side door. He smelled it and said: “Papa”. I smiled because he remembered. My sweetheart wore that cologne that we deemed our favorite. I spray a little in my car’s…
