Living in the Peace Zone
I love seeing my young mama friends proudly show off their babies in milestone photos – at two weeks, one month, two months, etc. Every picture radiates love, joy, and a whole lot of sleepless nights. But despite the exhaustion, they dote on those little ones with unwavering devotion — as they should. These precious…
This morning, Carl and I will board a plane for Cabo San Lucas, thanks to our children who made this trip possible. It’s love week — a time to celebrate marriage, life, and the incredible gift of slowing down. We could have easily stayed in Austin, but when your kids insist that you enjoy life…
That’s my blog title as well as my greatest desire — to be in pursuit of God. That means I purpose to follow, run after, chase Him, and even catch Him and His unchanging, loving, caring and peace-filled ways. A. W. Tozer’s “The Pursuit of God” is a classic Christian devotional book written in 1948.…
Sunday was the celebration of Epiphany – the arrival of the Three Kings’ visit to the Holy Family. The manifestation of the Lord. So why should I have received little knots in my tummy on Friday when I received this invitation? “It’s that time of the year for our annual Epiphany get together with spouses!…
For some time, my daughter has been encouraging me to write a book that includes my blogs. I haven’t had the drive to write it yet because each day I realize that I am not the author of my faith story. I’m still here, pressing onward and upward, so I’ll just keep journaling via my…
When I stayed at Karen and George’s a few weeks ago, I learned Karen’s daily routine with Mom. Not only was I able to relieve Karen of some of her duties, but, just in case I were needed in Karen’s absence, I would be able to carry on. I made a good list of every…
Pursue: to follow, run after, chase someone or something to catch them.I have five grandsons; one is married and the remaining four have darling girlfriends. Being a romantic at heart, I thoroughly enjoy watching these guys pursue these girls. I loved the sweet Christmas gifts they each carefully chose for their “girl”. And I loved…
I was inquisitive enough to read “The Pilgrim’s Progress” over the last couple of days. Allegories aren’t my forte, but I did understand “Christian” was looking for the Celestial City throughout. I’m so visual that I needed technicolor and visual characters to help me grasp it. So, I rented the 2019 animated version on Amazon…
Here I go again with more inspiration from “the tales of Bryson”. My youngest grandson’s life is consumed with the great outdoors and his animals, so of course, his live-stock causes my mind’s “ticker tape” to keep rolling! His priority is his animals’ care and he loves it when I help him feed them at…
Remember the line by Mother Abbess to Maria in the epic movie “The Sound of Music” – “Maria, these walls were not meant to shut out problems. You have to face them. You have to live the life you were born to live.” Such words of wisdom: “We must live the life we were born…
