SPECIAL MID-DAY EDITION
Unlike my early (before 6 am) posts each day, I just read this article and felt I MUST post it now. I’ve heard Christians say: “I have faith. No fear here. I don’t need to social distance myself.” I, too, have complete faith in my Lord. I quote scriptures consistently about faith and not having…
My Fear Doesn’t Stand a Chance
I stumbled across this little doll girl on Facebook while scrolling through my timeline. It was a video of her jabbering away as she turned the pages of her book. She had her own joy-filled language – free of any worry or fear. What drew me in even more was the music playing in the…
An Old Story That Can Bring Us Hope
It’s in almost every conversation. We can’t help it. The effects of the coronavirus are certainly beyond any plague or disease pandemic that I have seen or heard of in my life. I mean – a pandemic that is causing businesses to send their people home to work virtually; causing schools to shut down and…
We Have Nothing to Fear Except Fear Itself
That was a line from Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s Inaugural Address in 1933. But are FDR’s words true, especially when we hear about the coronavirus more each day? No question — if we only thought, read, studied and listened to the news about it, we could seriously get ourselves into a world of fear. I loved…
At Least Take the First Step
In my “No Fear” post yesterday, I shared how proud I was of my granddaughter when we were at Six Flags Over Texas. Against her initial concerns about the wild rides that were there, she conquered her fears and in fact, exceeded our greatest expectations for her. After the first ride (her first step), she…
No Fear! You Only Live Once
It was the yellow Mustang convertible that I would have for a week while my car is being repaired, that energized the idea of the 3-generations (Me, my daughter and granddaughter) to take to the road. “The Road” was only around here in Frisco and over to Arlington TX, but we sure had a “Girls…
Eyes Wide Open: Enjoying God in Everything
Yesterday, when Buddy (Payton’s Australian Shepherd) and I headed out for our daily walk, I seemed to be more in tune to our surroundings than usual. I’m noticing more now about the sweet times I’ve had and am having with the Wallace’s because soon this will all change. Living with them (on and off between…
She Laughs
“She is clothed in strength and dignity, and she LAUGHS without fear of the future.” Proverbs 31:25. I sure want to be this woman. This scripture speaks of a woman who embodies the balance of strength — she is strong, holding it all together, while being able to laugh in the face of fear. She’s…
I Can Do This — Meet You At The Top
Day 15 of Photo Inspirations: What could be more exhilarating than being pulled up over 75 feet in the air with just a cord holding you up, and then DROPPED? Answer: Being pulled up over 75 feet in the air and dropped with your granddaughter by your side. Okay, I was the most mature one…
What Would You Do to Face Your Fears?
I love success stories — especially the success stories of my friends. Meet my sweet friend, Kristina Vinberg, from Bellevue, WA. She’s been my grandsons’ nanny for several years, and I’ve watched this little gal overcome many obstacles in her life. She was in a car accident a couple of years ago that caused her…
