Happy Palm Sunday! What Did Jesus See?
Not long ago, a new couple moved into an apartment across the hall from us. We welcomed them, and after that, would have casual conversation with them. The wife was always in a wheelchair. I never asked why. But one day, no questions asked, I was prompted to pray for her. They welcomed the prayer,…
I Like to be Right. Who doesn’t? Right?
But I’d also like to think I’m able to admit when I’m wrong. It’s simple to admit the little mistakes, apologize and ask forgiveness. Maybe I accidentally left my phone at home and had to turn around and go back home to get it – making me late for my volunteer job at the family…
Wisdom from Trial and Error
Of all the things that we did wrong, we did some things right. For example – in teaching our children to be brave, faith-filled, optimistic, daring, strong and responsible human beings. I’d like to think that my young husband and I did everything right, but without a doubt, a lot fell through the cracks because…
To Err is Human…..But Who Likes Erring?
I spend many hours of my day on my computer. As we travelled back to Austin, I was typing my next blog. My computer is one of my best friends. I spend more time with it than anything else. With all the typing, editing and publishing I do, I have apps that correct spelling errors,…
Oops! A Big Mistake!
I saw this headline: “Oops! Buc-ee’s Billboard Goes Viral Due to Embarrassing Spelling Mistake”. Apparently, the billboard reads: “You had me at Hodwy,” misspelling the word “Howdy”. The mistake was first reported by radio announcer Danny Merrell who said the typo was discovered by his wife, an English teacher, on an Interstate 35 billboard. Merrell…
Can I Really Live Like Jesus?
I’ve started back at the beginning of watching “The Chosen” series. I wanted Jesus’ life in movie form to remind and inspire me once again about Jesus’ walking this earth before I start on the new Season 3. What I have seen in this incredible series makes me love our real Jesus even more. “Can…
We are Learning our Lessons Well
While in Cabo, we ended a night at a Karaoke Party where my grands showed off their singing and dancing skills. Hilarious! I played the blow-up guitar and wore a Balls of Fire Hat (oh, me!) as I gigged with them! New Year’s Eve night, we danced to the beat of the DJ’s music during…
Just a Little Poco Loco
Have you ever felt like “your brain was one short fry of a happy meal” aka “gone poco loco” aka “a little cray cray”? We can all fess up to some of those times of: “What was I thinking?” My grandson’s best friend is here with us in Cabo. We heard the hilarious story from…
Jesus Loves Me — This I Know
Life happens. Often, it happens because of negative circumstances and people. Your car gets rear-ended by another car moving way too fast. You bumble the opportunity to encourage someone. You fail at having a good attitude at that appointment. You have trouble forgiving someone for THAT thing they forgot to do. Your feelings get hurt…
If God is Your Co-Pilot – Swap Seats
My husband and I were both pilots, but he was always the pilot-in-charge. We had a Cessna 182 and I was his co-pilot. I would help with navigating and being his extra pair of eyes, ears, and hands. And, it is the same in commercial planes. The co-pilot’s job is important, but he/she never forgets…
