Move in a Little Closer
Back in the day, I remember my little boy standing up next to me as I drove our 1964 Chevy Impala. If I had to stop quickly, my arm would fling out like an albatross across him. That was the seat belt before there were seat belts. To this day, I still have that reaction…
Need Peace? Forgive.
Mother’s Day is passed as far as the commercialized Mother’s Day is concerned. But, honestly, it’s okay for our mothers to be honored every single day. What a role model my mama was and still is today, 18 years past going to heaven. Yesterday, for a video presentation to her students, my daughter interviewed me…
Empathy Makes a Difference
Empathy: the ability to understand and share the feelings of another, like putting ourselves into the mental shoes of someone to understand and even share their emotions and feelings. Not until I saw it, did I believe it. I’ve been telling the tales of my recent visit and stay in Tulsa with my bro and…
Peace is my Governor
Yesterday, I spoke about the “default settings” in electronics. We also have default settings and the ideal ones are having gratitude and the Fruit of the Spirit. A couple of days ago, I walked into a room and a situation that caused me to do an about-face. I was about to react negatively, but instead…
Fear and Locked Doors
Here we are today, one week after Resurrection Sunday. I’m thankful the Easter Story provides us with even more chilling and awe-inspiring true stories beyond the resurrection. John the Apostle wrote this in John 20:19 — “That evening of the first day of the week, WHEN THE DOORS WERE LOCKED, where the disciples were, for…
It’s Palm Sunday and Here He Comes!
This day kicks off Holy Week and the recollection of the final week of our Lord to the cross and His resurrection. Today, churches will celebrate in different ways. Some will simply acknowledge it, or not, while others make a big deal about it. At some churches, the people meet and process around the outside…
Win All Day
Pictures speak louder than words, but since I, being a widow with excess words to deliver, will provide this blog with words AND pictures. This first photo is of my beloved son by marriage (Staci’s husband) and his best “other” friend than Staci – his John Deere Tractor. His dream come true. His baby. His…
Appointment or Disappointment
Sunday night’s Super Bowl 2022 was reason for our community to pack out our theater room and bring all kinds of goodies to munch on. Most of us cheered for the underdogs, the Bengals, but none of us lost any sleep because they lost. In the end, the Bengals had DISAPPOINTMENT written on their faces…
God is NOT our Drill Sergeant
Cheers to my mom and dad’s hardcore belief in life. I was an unexpected baby (not to God, but to mom and dad). It had been 12 years since their last child, but mom was in a trainwreck that upset her “apple cart”, rather, her birthing cart. All the biological factors came together and whoa-la,…
S.O.S.Time to Slow Down
My dear Tulsa friend often sends me emails that include hilarious photos, statements, and stories that give me comedic relief. I loved this one from a few days ago:S.O.S.“An Airbus 380 is on its way across the Atlantic. It flies consistently at 800 km/h at 30,000 feet, when suddenly a Eurofighter with Tempo Mach 2…
