A New Day for America
Yesterday’s headlines were: Donald J. Trump Wins Presidency — to Become the 47th President of the United States.” May we pray for President Trump and other elected officials to seek God’s wisdom and to lead with biblical priorities and servants’ hearts. May we pray for God to use our leaders to unify our nation and…
Brand New Day — Brand New Month
Happy September to my dear friends and family!! Yesterday is gone, tomorrow may never come, but this day and this new month, we have the opportunity to practice recognizing God’s blessings in EVERYTHING! It’s a big deal to wake up to a new day, because yesterday was the very last day on this earth for…
Happy May 1st and Good Morning, Sunshine!
Welcome, May! I’m sure we’re going to have plenty of May flowers because here in Austin we have had plenty of April showers — in fact, some crazy rainstorms, mixed with hail and strong winds. Our electricity went off and our outside doors locked where residents couldn’t come in. We just don’t like hassles, do…
Time Flies When We’re Having Fun
Besides my grandson’s birthday today, July 2nd has a specific specialness about it! It is the half-way point of 2022. 183rd day of the year — the official middle of the year. Six months have already passed in 2022. It makes me think – how fast time flies for me these days, compared to being…
The First Day of Spring
That was yesterday, March 20th……and Spring has sprung! How sweet it is! As spring begins, the length of our days increase dramatically in most regions.

March ON
January – Check, February – Check, and already to March. We may look at our 2022 resolutions, dream boards and goals list and wonder “Have I accomplished anything on my lists in this new year?” The truth is life happens. And, with it, our grandiose plans may go awry. But, no worries, we can still…
Take Heart, Brothers & Sisters, All is Well
How do I know all is well? It is a deep, inner knowing that God has got this. God has got us. I’m back at home and this sunrise on Tuesday assured me “all is well”. I could almost hear these words audibly “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not…
This is the Day the Lord has Made
Let us rejoice and be glad in it! (Psalm 118:24)I sing this scripture as a song and I use it in expressing my gratitude. It’s not unusual to read it as a text message when a friend or loved one has a birthday. I say “This is the day the Lord made you and I’m…
The Bright and Morning Star
I apologize right up front for another sky-view blog. I can’t seem to help myself. I think I’ve officially become an earth-moon-sun- star-gazer! I blame it on God Who keeps awing me every morning. I’m grateful I have His attention, because it would be misery to face blogging every day and wondering “What is there…
