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…

Love Means Saying “I’m Sorry”!
Last week I shared about a Pastor sharing with a bride and groom at their wedding ceremony. He said, “People will tell you ‘Love means never having to say you’re sorry. That’s garbage!” He was hilarious, but he got the message across — to be like Christ means being quick to apologize and quick to…
Because He Lives, I Can Face Today AND Tomorrow
The hullabaloo about New Year’s Eve celebrations has ended for another year….well, except for many of us who are still sharing how we commemorated 2017’s debut. Unlike so many that entered into 2017 with a gnarly hangover, I heard about New Year’s Eve church services where those in attendance heard messages about the possibilities that…
The Wide-Eyed Wonder of a Child
something about children that God wants us to see. We, who have lived a few decades, know what it’s like to have made mistakes and now we tend to be over cautious, and leave little room for spontaneity. That’s not the case with children. The future is wide open for them, and they seem to…
