Love, Leadership, and Turning the Tide
November 22, 1963 – I remember that date well. Do you? For me, it’s crystal clear. I was sitting in my 10th-grade Geometry class in my hometown of Dallas, Texas. Our principal’s voice over the P.A. system still echoes in my heart: “Our President has been shot—let us pray.” Later, we would hear: “Our President…
A New Day for America
Yesterday’s headlines were: Donald J. Trump Wins Presidency — to Become the 47th President of the United States.” May we pray for President Trump and other elected officials to seek God’s wisdom and to lead with biblical priorities and servants’ hearts. May we pray for God to use our leaders to unify our nation and…
Our Divine Security Patrol
In a world filled with uncertainty, we are constantly reminded of how fragile life can be. By now, you probably know that last Sunday there was another attempt on President Trump’s life. Lord, have mercy! It was another chilling reminder that no one, no matter how powerful or protected, is immune to danger. That’s why…
Miracles in our Midst
I don’t want this blog to alienate anyone who isn’t on the same page as us. We are all children of God. That is what matters most. I am married to an unrelenting, bold, determined and true patriot. He is all about the “land of the free and the home of the brave”. He served…
Breaking News: God is Still on His Throne
When I published my Saturday’s blog and this image: “Breaking News – God is still in Control OF EVERY SITUATION – No Need to Panic”, I had no idea of the horrendous events that would take place later in the day. One of my blog readers commented with this one word: “Prophetic”! As I type…
Visions of Sugarplums Danced in My Head
As the famous “Night Before Christmas” poem goes, Christmas Eve is when children are “nestled all snug in their beds, while visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads.” I wondered, “What exactly is a sugarplum?” I read that there are three types of sugar plums. One, which is a summertime treat of an actual candied…
When All is Said and Done
I’m in Austin visiting my family for several days. I was amused when a friend of theirs visited. She put her hands to her ears when the election came up in conversation. She couldn’t deal with any thought that President Trump could lose the election. I want to shut my eyes and ears too, but…
Shut the Door on Fear and Doubt
A few days ago, a dear friend asked if I and another friend would meet with her regarding some serious health issues she was facing. She explained that she feels optimistic yet fear creeps in with “What if?” Immediately I spoke into her that when the enemy taunts her with his fear tactics to remember…
The Day After — No Winner Declared
Those were the headlines this morning. We expected this day – an undecided election. Gone are the days when we sat up to watch the “end-of-the-story” – even if it were in the wee hours of the morning! Well, I did sit up, then went to bed and many times I’d wake up to catch…
Would Your Reputation Pass the Test?
I shudder to think what it would feel like to have my life become an open book for the world to read about daily. Oh, wait! I am about as close to an open book as I can get here on social media. But then, again, my life pales in comparison to those front and…
