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…
God’s Providence
Perhaps you’ve already read the commentary from Jason Jimenez, Op-Ed Contributor, for The Christan Post. His words trump (no pun intended) my words today. I must pay it forward! “From the founding of America to its present day, God’s divine guidance has steered the course of events, protecting and preserving those who seek His favor.…
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…
Happy Independence Day!
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” – Excerpt from the 1776 Declaration of Independence. Today, we celebrate the birth of our nation, marking 248 years since…
We’ve Been Entrusted
Entrusted – I saw that word in an email yesterday morning. It motivated me to blog about it. To entrust is to give someone a responsibility that we assume they will fulfill. If we entrust someone with the task of getting us to an appointment on time, we best make sure they are punctual. Entrusting…
Treasured Tears
I’ll admit it. I am a crybaby. The older I get, the easier it is for me to let the tears flow! During the ring exchange ceremony at our wedding, Carl was supposed to be the first to say “I do” after the words: “Do you promise to have and to hold Donna from this…
Followed by Goodness and Mercy
Uncertainty about what this day holds. Concerned about what the doctor’s report will be. Dismayed about life savings placed in an investment that continues to spiral. Anxious about the cost of living. Worried about the children’s friendships. As much as we know better than to succumb to worry, fear, and anxiety, there are still times…
Run to those Open Arms
Okay! Maybe I’m a “stuck record”! An FYI to the kids who don’t know what “stuck record” means – it refers to the needle on a record player that got stuck on a record and we kept hearing the same lyrics over and over. In my case, it means I can’t move off the story…
God’s Hands of Protection
My grandson, 22-year-old Payton, came down to Austin from Dallas to be part of the 16th birthday celebration for Bryson. Bonus was he stayed with me and got my Christmas decorations in for me. Of course that puts me into “protective mode”. Meaning, when he departed yesterday morning, I prayed God’s hands of protection over…
The Test, the Tribulation, and the Triumph
I am picking up my grandson’s favorite after-school snack: the big plate of honey chicken X 3 and white rice at Panda Express. The manager is helping me. She knows me well from the many times I go in to get Bryson’s “snack”! But this encounter with the manager starts my TEST and my seeking!…
