This is How We Fight Our Battles
After posting my blog yesterday, I quickly googled “Israel-Hamas War”. Fox News reported that the first plane from America, carrying U.S. ammunition, landed in Israel Tuesday night. President Biden called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday, in the immediate wake of Hamas’ attack, to emphasize our country’s continued support for Israel as the country…
Billows of Love and Healing
“Billows” isn’t a word that I use in my everyday speech. But because on this day I take to the pavement for a morning walk, I can’t help but notice the billowy clouds. I take photos in the direction of the Texas Children’s Hospital, but I need to get to a spot that isn’t skewed…
God, Please Breathe on Me
In my prayer time, I said these words “Thank You for your breath, Lord!” What? Where did that come from? To who do we ever say “Thank you for your breath”, because breath can be stinky? But not so with the breath of Jesus. In asking for His breath, I knew that I was asking…
A Thousand Generations
I heard this story and just had to share it with my friends. A busy father was looking for a way to entertain his young daughter. He found a map of the world in a magazine and cut it into pieces. He gave the pieces to his child and suggested she try to piece the…
PEACE — at all Cost
If I know peace it is because I know God. Know peace, know God. No peace, no God. And the peace I know is a peace that passes all understanding. I have written many blogs about peace. That peace is the basis for my MyPeaceZone.com website and this blog. Out of the seemingly most difficult…
Peace be with You
I love those words — the words of speaking peace over someone. And isn’t that what this world needs – living in a state of God’s peace that passes all understanding, regardless of circumstances or places we happen to be in at any given time? Isn’t it inspiring to listen to the faith journeys of…
I’m a Thankful Mess
My niece sent me this photo of her grandson whose parents are out of town. Yes, this little guy has taken over her home. Eventually she gets to tidy up, but then the little guy unloads this toys all over again. But, this grandmother is thankful to be able to clean up his messes. This…
Lunar New Year 2023 – the Year of the Rabbit
“Happy New Year!” That’s what we said to our hostess at Pao’s Chinese Restaurant on Sunday. The moment we said those words, her eyes brightened. She said: “Oh, I have something for you!” When she returned, she had red envelopes for each of us. She explained: “This is tradition!” In my inquisitive manner, I had…
God With Us
I have been partying since December 22nd when I drove to Alto, TX to be with my daughter and family for several days of Christmas celebrations. From there, I headed back home and party-hardy was the theme at the Wuerch’s in Austin. The day after Christmas, we headed to Cabo del Sol where each day…
Surprise! It Snowed in Austin!
Well – maybe not in all of Austin. Well – maybe only where I live. Well – maybe it wasn’t real snow. It came from a machine to get our Everleigh residents in the Christmas spirit at our Christmas Party. Honestly, I had to take a closer look because it sure looked like the real…
