Called by Name
I didn’t like roll call on the first day of school or most other days when our teacher called out our names. My name was Donna Wheat! That’s when the kids shouted out Donna Corn; Donna Buckwheat; Donna Wheaties! So, I’d sit in those freshly adorned classrooms every fall with my lips pursed, eager to…
The Name Above All Names
I went back to bed after I posted my blog for the day. I wanted to grab just a few more winks before I started my day. I was restless though. In my head-voice, I started saying “Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.” Then I started thinking about what that name means. I didn’t have…
And They Named Her Donna
Baseball season has begun! My 18-year-old grandson, Brennan, and his team, the Regents Knights, had their first game last Friday night and they won! Yay! And, my son, Ryan, was asked to call the game and play the music for the regular announcer. Ryan gave me the slip of paper that had the last names…
Our Prince of Peace Ensures a Peace-Filled Year
Of all the scriptures that we hear during the Christmas season, this one is like the credits at the end of a movie or even the end of an old year: “And His name shall be called Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:7 Aw! Giving the credit to Who credit is due. Our Prince of Peace.…
A Life of Purpose – On Purpose
What a grand scheme God had when He sent His only begotten Son to this earth with the ultimate purpose of dying on a cross for you and me…..so that we could spend eternity with the WHOLE FAMILY of God! Now, that’s what I call a “Purpose-Driven-Life”. The book, “The Purpose Driven Life”, written by…
There’s Something About That Name
qQ/OBlh9auxJ3sC21ASjPjtp8v8sI-bpKxBQCLcBGAsYHQ/s600/Jesus%2Bname%2Bpower.jpg”/>A couple of days ago I blogged about our Great Physician and being able to call on Him 24/7 because He is ALWAYS on duty. In that blog I shared about how I learned to call on the name of Jesus when my babies or my grandbabies had a fever or cold or when I…
What’s Your Name
This is Thursday morning and I’m at my Radiology desk at Children’s Hospital where I weekly serve as a volunteer. Besides patients and their families, many medical, housekeeping and admin personnel pass my desk. I typically greet everyone with a cheery “Good Morning! How are you?” But, this day I sense that’s not enough. These…
What’s Do They Think When They Hear Your Name?
One of the many perks of my residence here in Frisco, TX is that my sweet cousins, Charles & Mary Ellen Snow, live in the same community as me. Just a couple of days ago we spent nearly three hours “remembering” so many family traditions and moments, while looking at old photos and doing our…
What Do You Think of When You Hear a Name?
I love looking up the meaning of people’s names. In fact, as a gift to a group of women not long ago, I gave them each a card that included their name, the character quality of their name and a scripture verse that goes with their name, like those pictured here. In fact, I love…
