Living in the Peace Zone
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…
Ever say: “I’m waiting for doors to open”, meaning a job opportunity, or patiently waiting for a store to open its doors, or the cash windfall that you could sure use that’s behind those closed doors? Remember when we placed our hands and fingers in a position to show “Here’s the church; here’s the steeple.”…
When Mom was still here on this side of heaven, my sis, Karen, and I talked a lot to her even when she was in a sound sleep. We knew her spirit could hear our words. That’s why I put the phone up to her ear when my children and grandchildren called the day before…
My dear Tulsa friend often sends me emails that include hilarious photos, statements, and stories that give me comedic relief. I loved this one from a few days ago:S.O.S.“An Airbus 380 is on its way across the Atlantic. It flies consistently at 800 km/h at 30,000 feet, when suddenly a Eurofighter with Tempo Mach 2…

Last Sunday was the first Sunday of Advent. We’re making the trek to Bethlehem – the night that Christ was born. Today, the second Sunday of Advent, the second candle will be lit. I took this photo of the Advent Candle Wreath last Sunday at my church here in Frisco. Those of us who have…
Had Any Knee Jerk Reactions Lately? I had a huge decision to make. “Should I say “yes” or should I say “no”. Should I stay or should I go?” Ever been faced with some tough decisions and rather than waiting to hear the voice of God, we just couldn’t sit idly still….we had to make…
Day 240 of Photo Inspirations — The Sower Sows and Sows and Sows “Be still and know that I am God.” Psalm 46:10. That almost seems an impossible feat to find a place of quietness, a place to be still and a place without the so-easily-achieved distractions. That place to hear God’s voice and feel…
