Living in the Peace Zone
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Before I was asked to be on a panel at the SHE women’s event, I was asked to lead a Life Group weekly. Before I was asked to lead a Life Group, I served on the “Dream Team” of volunteers to welcome people into church. My “yeses” opened the door to speak at the larger…
I was already writing my blog yesterday about humility and kindness before this encounter. So this is the sequel to that blog. My loyal, faithful, comfortable, resting place extraordinaire, cozy brown recliner had to go. At least my children thought so. It didn’t go with the new contemporary furniture and accessories that now donned my…
Happy Mother’s Day to all women – to the stay-at-home mom, working moms, foster moms, adopted moms, moms-in-waiting, guardian moms, grandmothers, mentor moms, grieving moms, fur moms, sister moms, neighbor moms, church moms, baby-sitting moms, future moms and on it goes. I took my liberty with this photo that includes my grandmother, my mom, my…
Just after our Thanksgiving meal, it was time for my family photo session in Frisco. I missed four of the grands for this occasion, but nine of us would satisfy this photo-hungry Nana! Getting ready to pile into the cars, my grandson Payton, Mr. Enthusiasm and brimming with pent-up energy, proceeds to go into one…
Ten years ago, I knew God had me on a mission – not only in the care of my very sick husband, but I knew I was mandated to “rise to the occasion”. In spite of the challenging times that entire year, I knew God had given me a “go to” that included finding the…
