2,000 and Still Counting
This day, July 11, 2019 — is the BIG ONE! The BIG ONE as in posting my 2,000th blog. Pardon the personal high-fives! ?? I’m beyond grateful for God’s faithfulness to me to inspire, motivate, encourage, drop nuggets of His fresh Word, opened my eyes to see the beauty in each day and to savor…
“They Opened Their Mouths With Wisdom!” Hey Girls! That’s You and Me!
Happy Mother’s Day to all Moms! That includes all women who have been gifted with the “maternal instinct” of nurturing and caring for others. One of the greatest joys in life is to be a mother to my own children and to those God put into my life “to mother”. There is something unique and…
Being Thankful When It Isn’t Easy
In my post, yesterday, I welcomed this week of Thanksgiving. One day just isn’t enough for us to express our gratitude for God’s goodness and mercy for so many blessings. I know, however, Thanksgiving isn’t always a joyous and thankful time for everyone. I know that life is going terribly wrong for some people who…
How Do You Fight Your Battles?
How Do You Fight Your Battles? Do you bear any bruises and scars from battles that you may have been in lately– maybe in the political arena or even in your home or workplace? On Sunday, I encountered a very well trained cashier at a store who was courteous, friendly, and even gave me a…
“Let EVERY-THING That Has Breath Praise the Lord!”
My word for the day is PRAISE: expressing warm approval or admiration of.someone; applaud, pay tribute to, speak highly of”. A few years ago, my grandson, Payton Wallace took this picture of the huge rock formations that surrounded the pond behind my home.

Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining
It was the 3rd night of our Southern Caribbean cruise (it was our annual, romantic get-away), when, suddenly, the lights began to flicker and the engines came to a screeching halt. It was a dramatic sight as people ran to their cabins to get their life jackets. Fear consumed most of the passengers. We knew…
The Donkey — Jesus’ Limo
Happy Palm Sunday! Today, we celebrate our Lord’s triumphant entrance into Jerusalem where He was welcomed by crowds praising and worshipping Him and laying down palm leaves to honor Him. The palms, the “hosanas”, the worship and praise is typically our focus today. But, I’d like to add some focus to the donkey — he…
