What is Blocking Your View?
IWhat is Blocking Your View? If you’ve been a musician in an orchestra, you know that seeing the conductor throughout the symphony, is of paramount importance. That’s why you’ll notice that the placement of every chair is in direct eyes’ view of the one that is directing and leading the music. The conductor is responsible…
What WAZE You Down? Are You “Direction” Challenged?
For some time my son, Larry, was encouraging me to use the “free” Waze app on my phone. He told me that it was a much better option than any other GPS system or app. I tried using it but still didn’t trust it when it would take me off the beaten path to get…
LORD, Let Me Let YOU Lead Me!
I was having a sweet time of morning devotion when I looked at this mug that sits on my dining room table. I purchased this mug a while ago as a reminder WHO is supposed to be leading in this “romance” and journey of faith between God and I. This day, I got the message,…
Does Your Heart Need a Defibrillator (Your Spiritual Heart, that is)?
A few days ago I shared about the rhythms of our lives and if we trust God, He will set the tempo and even when there’s ups and downs, we’ll understand all the various rhythms can be by God’s design. I knew I was supposed to move to Texas when my home in Tulsa sold…
Again….Proverbs 3:5-6
Again….Proverbs 3:5-6 Yesterday, my post was around that scripture “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding; in all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths”. I had just pushed the “Post” button, and then checked my emails. Imagine my surprise and disappointment when I…
I Knew Back-to-School Drama
#TBT I Knew Back-to-School Drama! It’s that time of year when kids are getting back to school or going to school for the first time. This photo inspiration from 42 years ago was my two kids’ first day of school — Staci in first grade and Ryan in 3rd. Sweet memories, and, oh my, how…
Are You a Control Freak?
That was our discussion at Life Group last night. After hearing a most compelling message on Sunday about “surrendering our need to control”, it seemed all of us, in one way or the other, realized we just might have some “control” issues. I didn’t think of myself as being a controller until the example was…
Ever Felt Like You Were Banging Your Head Against a Brick Wall…. OR a Glass Window?
While up at our Hyde Park clubhouse on Wednesday, I kept hearing a bird banging into the windows, over and over again. On Thursday, one of my friends sent this text to me: “Drama at the clubhouse today — a female bird keeps flying into the window from the maple tree — male just moving…
Pay ATTENTION!
Goodness gracious! I love my GPS system. They’re so much better than those old folded up maps. Those “Global Positioning Systems” are found in vehicles and on smartphones all over the world. And, I’m so grateful to be here at this time to take advantage of this amazing technology. That gal in the GPS knows…
Blessing or Curse?
I’ll admit I was quite amped up with excitement when I saw gas prices yesterday (Kum n Go was $1.43/gal and Sam’s Club — where I purchased — was $1.38/gal). Though my car wasn’t on empty, I filled it up just in case that number changes today. A few months ago, when I posted…
