Let’s Build a Name for Ourselves
The people of Babel had one goal: “Let us build ourselves a tower with its top in the sky, and so make a name for ourselves.” (Genesis 11:4). They weren’t just building a tower; they were building a legacy of their own making — striving to be remembered by their achievements rather than by who…
💖What Matters Most is Walking in Love 💖
Aw! February — the month where love is on full display, from heart-shaped chocolates to mushy greeting cards. But today, love takes center stage for a far greater reason — my daughter, Staci Wallace, and my bonus son, Larry Wallace, are celebrating 28 years of marriage! Happy Anniversary, my loves! You are living, breathing examples…
❤️ Love is in the Air — So Let’s Breathe It In! ❤️
❤️❤️❤️ Love is in the Air — So Let’s Breathe It In! ❤️❤️❤️ Ah, February — when store shelves explode with pink and red, the floral businesses boom, and the airwaves are drenched in love songs. And speaking of love songs, my heart can’t help but do a little two-step when I hear Tom Jones…
Tenderize My Heart, Lord
While journaling, these words poured out: “Lord, tenderize my heart for others.” Tenderize? Where did that come from? Suddenly, my mind rewound to my childhood kitchen, where Mom stood wielding a meat tenderizer, beating the toughness out of a steak. Whack after whack, she softened that meat until it was ready for the frying pan…
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…
Help! I Can’t Reach It!
I stood in the grocery aisle, staring up at the box of Dairy Whip perched just out of reach. A tall man walked by, and I called out, “Could you help me with that?” He tried – but NOT! Then, with a grin, he lifted his daughter onto his shoulders. She stretched out her little…
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…
You Matter!
Some things just don’t change…..but wouldn’t it be great if they did? The first two kids, Cain and Abel, born from the first two parents, Adam and Eve, couldn’t get along. In fact, their sibling rivalry led to the death of Abel. Fast forward to the dad, Jacob, and Joseph, his son (his favorite son…
Being a Self-Leader
You’d think after all these years I’ve had on Planet Earth; I would have more leadership sense. But, oops, I did it again – I still need more instructions. Once again, I need a refresher course on being a good leader FOR MYSELF! We may think we are a good leader for others, but, numero…
And They Became One
Yesterday was a day I’ll cherish forever—a day filled with love, laughter, and family at a beautiful venue in Driftwood, Texas. My heart is so full, not just as a proud Nana, but as a witness to the joy of two souls becoming one in marriage. The weather was perfect—clear skies with just enough breeze…
