Living in the Peace Zone
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…
For my grandson’s 16th birthday, we headed to Port Aransas for a celebration of gigantic proportions. We stayed in a beautiful beachfront property that had spectacular views of the ocean with a backdrop of gorgeous South Texas skies! All was going according to our preplanned schedule of fun, food and all kinds of competitive beach…
My inspiring, exotic adventures in Cabo in nearing the end! Basking in the beauty of God’s creation never ceases to amaze me. I’m always grateful to be a part of these experiences where we eat well, enjoy special entertainment places exclusive to this area, laugh at the hilarious antics of my grandchildren, the many ocean…

Their faith in “God saves” was reassured when the captain of the yacht called “Amen” spotted them in the water when he was simply scanning the ocean…
It seems the longer I live and the places I get to go, the more awestruck I am by the majesty of God. What a genius He is! It boggles my mind that anyone could think that we, and all the glorious wonders of this world, just happened to show up when a “Big Bang”…
I showed this map of the Sea of Galilee and the places of many of Jesus’ miracles to my kids when I was sharing with them about my recent trip to Israel. The question most of our tour group had was how could there ever be such winds and waves in this small body of…
Yesterday, I posted our “dead-in-the-water” ship experience. When we boarded that ship, our thoughts were for making yet another great memory, enjoy some needed rest and adventure. Our minds never gave way to “What if we meet with disaster?” We “trusted” that the Captain and his crew would steer us to the pre-planned ports and…
