Stop — In the Name of Love
Remember that old Supremes’ song? “Stop, in the name of love, before I break your heart. Think it over!” It’s not a hymn, but today it feels like a message from God. Since my husband of 44 years passed away in 2010, I’ve written 3,775 blogs. Blogging became my mission, a gift from God to…
We are Chosen
We saw “The Chosen”, Series 4, 5 & 6 on Sunday night at the theater. As we watched the beauty of Jesus and his disciples and their comradery, I was reminded of the importance of friendships. But I also saw Jesus, in the movie, become quite frustrated at those knuckle-headed disciples who kept messing up.…
About Our Father’s Business?
I have five grandsons. I am watching each one come into their own desires for their future. Of course, my sons would hope their boys wanted to follow in their “business” footsteps, but so far, each of those sons are choosing their own way. It isn’t because those boys don’t value and appreciate their fathers’…
Feeling Pampered Today?
Someone asked how I could possibly devote so much time to my blog every day – 365 days a year. I know God gave me this mission to be an encourager and a light in the darkness. I promised to fulfill that mission from the get-go. My “ministry” platform just happens to be on social…
Born with an Identity
If you were a fan of the “Bourne Identity” action spy thriller movies, you’ll remember that Jason Bourne (played by Matt Damon), was a man suffering from extreme memory loss and spent his life trying to figure out who he was. He didn’t know his name or identity. Jason Bourne was the opposite of Jesus.…
Accepting Our Mission
Today is the fourth and last Sunday of Advent. We have been journeying through this tender time with Gabriel, the messenger of God Who announced Mary’s destiny of becoming the mother of her Savior if she chose to accept the call. She said: “Yes!” Gabriel was also the chosen angel to deliver the “mission” to…
This Season is About Ministry
Following God’s lead, looks like this for me here in Tulsa. I’m back on a “ministry” call to help my husband’s sister and her husband, Karen and George, in the care of Mom (my mother-in-law). Last night I called us “The Three Musketeers” – all for one; one for all! All three of us were…
What Do You Have as Reminders?
So I have several different and beloved crosses that my husband gave me. I wear them often – especially the one that was his. They are my “bumper stickers”. I want to be known as a Christian. Seeing the cross, just might cause someone to ask me to pray with them about something. Those crosses…
WORDLE – Words Matter
A couple of weeks ago, my granddaughter, Alexia, introduced me to the online game, WORDLE. I tried it and I was hooked. I may have been known to snap a photo of my conquests and send it to her (like yesterday). Three tries and I had the right word. A simple online game became a…
Coming in First Place is….
On my oldest grandson’s birthday a few weeks ago, I spoke about the “firsts” in our lives. The first job, first kiss, first child, first grandchild, etc. He was our FIRST. Today I’m talking about another FIRST. What and Who should be FIRST place in our lives. God is the King of His Kingdom. The…
