Improving Our Serve
This photo is one of the world’s most famous paintings. It is a 15th Century mural painting by Leonardo da Vinci. The painting represents the scene of the Last Supper of Jesus Christ and His disciples. You can see how aghast they were at Jesus’ announcement that one of them would betray Him. Today is…
Valentine’s Love
Happy Valentine’s Day! I LOVE YOU! “Love sweet love. It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of!” Thanks, Dionne Warwick, for that sweet love song memory! This day is about love and loving others, and the credit goes to St. Valentine and his story of love, A.D. 270. Valentine was a Christian priest…
The Week of Love
A morning online search led me to info I never knew. Apparently, Valentine’s Week in India officially began February 7th when couples start celebrating the month of love with romantic gifts, heartwarming surprises, and spending quality time with each other. “Bring on the love” is what I say! What not have a week of expressions…
Holy Maundy Thursday
Remember when, on Thursdays, we often tagged our photos on social media #TBT (Throwback Thursday) – meaning a blast from the past. This is my little family in 1980 at our church in Shawnee, OK, It was a big deal — big enough to dress up for the big Easter celebration. Had to get those…
If I Had a Do-Over
Roll back the curtains of memories now and then! That’s what I was doing when I remembered this time of year when my daughter and family lived in Seattle. Payton and Alexia attended Bellevue Christian School. Often, Staci would call me on their way home from school. This day, I heard Alexia shouting in the…
Loving from the Inside Out
I’m a morning person by choice. I’m up and at ‘em at 4am or 5am and posting my blog. I know that I am an anomaly to those who have late-sleeping patterns. I’ve been up for a while when our continental breakfast bar is open at 8 am. Yesterday, I went over to grab something…
❤️❤️ Happy Valentine’s Young Lovers Wherever You Are ❤️❤️
And, for those of us who are a “solo” act today because our spouses are celebrating in heaven or the boy or girlfriend left the building….just in time to NOT be showering us with flowers OR kisses (the chocolate AND real ones) on this day when others are having a lovefest…… Let’s just bury our…
Welcome, February – the Love Month
It’s the LOVE month and I am in the love mindset, as I have been for decades. I am always nostalgic this month. On February 14th, 1961, my boyfriend (and 5 years later, my groom), and I went on our first chaperoned date, chauffeured by his dad and mom to my church’s Valentine’s banquet. February…
God Has No Favorites
Yesterday, my blog was about community and pickleball. I want to take “community” a step further today — God’s idea of community. This photo is the header from our community’s Facebook Residents Group of 70 residents so far. As the Admin of the group, I wanted a visual of what this group represents. We are…
Are You Vaccinated?
Several times, recently, I’ve been asked “Are you vaccinated?” It was first asked at our women’s Bible fellowship group and quickly the leader said “We don’t ask that question here. It is a divisive question.” It was her response also when someone asked if they were Catholic or Protestant. I loved it when she replied…
