The Blessing of Two
There’s something divine about the number two. Just ask Noah, who mastered the art of the double as he herded every creature two by two onto that ark. And then, there’s Solomon who wisely penned, “Two are better than one” (Ecclesiastes 4:9). God must have known how much my life needed a double portion of…
What Feat are You Attempting?
It was Carl’s pick to see George Clooney’s “Boys in a Boat” movie. The true to life movie is based on the University of Washington’s junior varsity rowing team making it all the way to the 1936 Berlin Olympics. The U.S. eight-man rowing team had won every gold medal since 1920, but this group of…
They are Looney Tunes
Remember those wacky, wild, half-witted Looney Tunes characters? We laughed at their shenanigans. Today those Looney Tunes have been replaced with high tech animation that look like real people. I am fondly remembering the Looney Tunes aka people who seem a little cray cray because they are waving their “Jesus saves” or “You Matter” signs…
Seen Any Rainbows Lately?
Yesterday I blogged about clouds. Today, it’s rainbows. This first rainbow was just near my residence in Austin. A mere short-lived rainshower brought that one. Then, a couple of weeks ago, my daughter’s family and I were in Corpus Christi at Port Aransas where we boarded a big fishing boat. It was pouring down rain.…
She’s a Looney Toon
Remember those wacky, wild, half-witted Looney Tunes characters? We laughed at their shenanigans who seemed to always be getting into some kind of trouble. They gave us plenty of comedy relief. We often think the same thing of overzealous Christians. They are the ones who are standing on a street corner waving a “Jesus is…
YES — Count Me In!
Yesterday I received an email asking me to be a “welcomer” at a 3-day Mission at my church this week. I’ll admit I had thoughts of saying “No”, because it meant I had to be at church an hour early each night and because I would just have returned home from Tulsa and, and, and…
Walking By Faith
As I’ve taken on this year as a great adventure, how appropriate that I would look up on the wall in my “Frisco” bedroom (aka The Guest Room for others that visit the Wallace’s), and see this stencil drawing just above the closet door, and directly across from the comfy and cozy bed. “We walk…
Seen Any Rainbows Lately?
Seen Any Rainbows Lately? This beautiful rainbow was over our subdivision after a recent rain. I grew up with only one thought about rainbows. I learned about it in my Sunday School class. You know….Noah, the ark, the animals, the rain, the flood, the promise. It is found in Genesis 9. And God said, “Whenever…
TRUST GOD!
Day 70 of Photo Inspirations — TRUST GOD Enroute to Dallas yesterday, I saw a man joyfully dancing down the street and waving a sign that said, “TRUST GOD” on it. This isn’t the photo. I wish I could have gotten it because I would visually be able to show his unabandoned joy to…
