Friends in High (and Tulsa) Places
Yesterday, Carl and I made the road trip to Tulsa — my old stomping grounds for over 40 years — to hug the necks of dear friends who’ve walked some of life’s winding roads with me. Oh, the memories we rolled back! Weddings, babies, healings, answered prayers, and those precious late-night talks that seemed to…
There Will Be Miracles
I’m still basking in the glow of all the birthday love — thank you, dear family and friends, for making me feel so celebrated! But today I’m carrying that gratitude forward with a reminder that lifts my heart every time I see it: “There will be miracles.” I bought that sign years ago. It still…
Our Job is to Make Jesus Famous
We live in an “out loud” generation, don’t we? For those of us who thrive on social media, silence isn’t exactly our strong suit! Now that Christmas has wrapped up, I still find myself lingering in the awe of the most extraordinary birth EVER. Mary? She was the quiet type. She didn’t post about baby…
Miracles in our Midst
I don’t want this blog to alienate anyone who isn’t on the same page as us. We are all children of God. That is what matters most. I am married to an unrelenting, bold, determined and true patriot. He is all about the “land of the free and the home of the brave”. He served…
The Commitment to Never Give Up
I saw the trailer. With my lightning-fast mind, something about this film, Unsung Hero, made me remember my family’s struggles, my children’s relentless pursuits of their God-given talents, and, most of all how we conquered through the toughest of times. Last Monday, Memorial Day, knowing the sacrifices made by our men and women who gave…
Looking and Finding Him Right Here
Have you ever looked for something that was right in front of you all the time? I could be wearing my glasses, and be looking for my glasses. I could be looking for my keys and they could be right on the counter in front of me. We could be looking for the rain to…
Peace be with You
I love those words — the words of speaking peace over someone. And isn’t that what this world needs – living in a state of God’s peace that passes all understanding, regardless of circumstances or places we happen to be in at any given time? Isn’t it inspiring to listen to the faith journeys of…
Unlimited Possibilities
This handsome young man is my godson, Owen Thomas Anderson. To say I am blessed to be his godmother, puts it mildly. A significant milestone for him took place last Friday night when he graduated from Bishop Kelley High School in Tulsa, OK. I made it a point to be there to witness it and…
Don’t Tell Me It Can’t Be Done
Those of us in the prime of life have seen wonders, miracles, and accomplishments beyond what we would ever have imagined when we were youngsters. I’ve been here long enough to have witnessed medical breakthroughs, major problems solved, and inventions that have made life better for us and now it’s hard to imagine ever living…
Don’t You Tell Me God Can’t Do It
Last weekend could not have been more exhilarating and memorable. I rolled back the curtain of many treasured memories that sparked undaunted faith for miracles. Don’t you tell me God can’t answer prayer! I have proof positive from just a couple of days of “raising hallelujahs” for what God has done. Hopefully, I’ll increase your…
