Let’s Find Common Ground
I thought of this song when I watched opposing news commentaries speaking about how divided we are as a Country. “You’re my brother. You’re my sister. Take me by the hand.Together we will work until He comes.There’s no foe that can defeat when we’re walking side by side.As long as there is love, we will…
Life is like a Camera
At our Noble Family Reunion a couple of weeks ago, one of the cousins’ husband, Joe Randle, was our official photographer. He didn’t miss a minute. He was on purpose as he randomly took shots of the children, of family members laughing their hearts out, and many other precious moments. He is making photo albums…
Prayer – As Natural As Breathing
Seems like God has me on a Prayer Enlightenment Journey, and it’s popping up everywhere, just like those white cars you start noticing the minute you buy one. I get it, Lord, I hear you loud and clear. Apparently, it’s time to amp up my communication with God! I’ll be straight with you, I’ve never…
Perspective – Old or New
Ah, Quebec City! A picturesque playground where history comes alive, and every cobblestone street whispers tales of bygone eras. As our ship gracefully navigated the St. Lawrence River to this jewel of French North America, we couldn’t help but marvel at the breathtaking beauty of God’s creation unfolding before us. Today, we eagerly anticipate our…
What are we Magnifying?
Is it just me, or are you also noticing that the fine print on bottles and cosmetics has become smaller? It’s common for me to pull out my trusty magnifying glass to make those words larger. I bought this magnifying glass with a light on it – one for me; one for Carl. It has…
Reminder: Tough Times Don’t Last
I’ll admit I have enjoyed watching the “Survivor” TV series since the show began. The resiliency, determination, grit and shrewdness of the cast amazes me. They go hungry if their team doesn’t win the challenge, they go through the most grueling obstacles, and their living conditions are dreadful. Nope! I couldn’t do it. I need…
UNEQUIVOCALLY Continuing On!
One thing I learned during my “widowhood” season, from November 16th, 2010, to August 8th, 2023, is that we card-carrying members of widowhood are some of the best people in this entire world. We lived through pain, life-upheaval, and heartbreak, and so many of us have come out the other side more beautiful than ever…
Till There Was You
Driving my grandson to school, he asked me for my favorite song. Without much thought, I said, “‘Till There Was You”. I proceeded to explain that song was Papa’s and my wedding song. He had his phone connected by Bluetooth and searched for it. Up came the Beatle’s rendition. We listened to the whole song…
A Switch Changed My Perspective
A switch? What is a switch? That was a slim tree branch that my mama used to swat my legs and straighten my attitude out when I was a little girl. That swat made a lot of difference in turning my wrongs to rights! Never would I have ever considered my precious mom’s correction as…
Rise to the Occasion
Twelve years ago, I knew a mission by God had been handed me and I had to “rise to the occasion”. The “occasion” was a very sick husband. Each of our journeys in life are just that – our individual scripted-by-God journeys. I think it has a great deal to do with our personal faith…
