The Mountain and the Ocean
Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell once sang, “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,” but on Sunday, Carl and I had to admit — some mountains (and even hills) are, in fact, too high! I’ve made the climb to the lighthouse and chapel on El Encanto (to love) many times, but this time, wisdom (and my marathon-worn…
Don’t You Dare Say It’s Impossible
There are moments in life when God steps in and leaves us speechless. You know, the kind of moments that make you chuckle under your breath and shake your head like Sarah did when she overheard the Lord say she was going to have a baby in her old age. (Genesis 18:12) Can you imagine?…
Navigating this Life
This is my sweet granddaughter, who has been here with me for the last few days. We did girl stuff together and on Sunday, enjoyed family stuff with Uncle Ryan and cousin, Karlei. Precious time with my girl. Alexia will be leaving in a few weeks for Nashville where she will be attending Legacy School…
The Mountain and the Cross
My son kept saying “Mom, I’ve got to take you up the mountain to see the cross! It’s so beautiful up there!” The next day, we were up early (5:30 am) to take in the early morning sunrise! Indeed, the sun rose in all its glory, and the timing was perfect. It was well worth…
Ain’t No Mountain High Enough
My little eyes saw the lighthouse and church atop the mountain. It was a “God” moment when I recognized His presence as I gazed at those two sources of bringing safety to boats and people! I spoke about them in a recent blog. I’m a noticer, a seeker and many times, a finder! I’ve always…
Our Hearts have Eyes
Oh, the beauty of the landscape and ocean-scape here. This is my heaven-on-earth place of Cabo San Lucas aka Cabo del Sol. We are taking in everything beach and ocean. I am up early to post my blog (we are behind one hour from Austin’s time zone, so I must get moving an hour earlier…
Mountain! You’ve Gotta’ Move!
That’s me in this photo at the Cascade Mountains of Washington. I know mountains. I’ve climbed them. I’ve gazed at their beauty from a distance. I’ve skied down them. I’ve driven the winding roads to the top of them and embraced the beauty from the top looking down. And I know MOUNTAINS — those vast,…
Mountain Top Experience
Seems I’m on a roll, rather a climb. A couple of weeks ago I shared my “cross” mountain top experience in Mexico that led to a great header for my website. Now, two days in a row, I’m still climbing and talking about mountains. My granddaughter and I started at the bottom of the steep…
Calling All Mountain Climbers and Mountain Movers!
It seems everywhere we look, there are unconquerable mountains in front of us – both in the natural and the spiritual. This photo prompted me to write this blog. Mountains symbolize obstacles, immovability, challenges — and if it’s a mountain the size of Kilimanjaro — maybe hopelessness. But mountains also symbolize conquering, overcoming obstacles, making…
Life is Like a Roller Coaster
Life is Like a Roller Coaster. I’ve been enjoying the photos shared by FB friends that are having the times of their lives on their summer vacations. They didn’t waste a minute getting their summer fun on! Some have made trips to the mountains and others made their way to giant roller coaster mountains at…
