Living in the Peace Zone
If we could measure our blessings by raindrops that have come to Frisco for the last week and, now, it shows rain every day through Sunday, then we would be overwhelmed with blessings. On Monday, I returned home from Austin in unceasing, torrential rain most all the way in which driving was extremely intense. My…
Yesterday I stopped by my children’s home and I saw this aluminum foil creation with a point on the top (and, of course, a bow to show it was designed with a woman in mind!). Alexia (my creative granddaughter) had made it the night before. I’m not sure where her imagination was going to but…
I know that with all the “He said. She said. They said.” craziness in the news, and even with those folks close to us, it makes us wonder “Who CAN we trust these days?” We think, “If that reputable, above-reproach guy or gal that I held in such high esteem could be caught in an…
There is nothing that beats spending time in the great outdoors and having a rustic cabin to go to — with cozy beds, a bathroom, running water, a kitchen to cook in and a screened in back porch to sit and watch the beautiful running waters of the river. Some would disagree with my words…
My granddaughter, Alexia Wallace (aka Lexi), aspires to be a veterinarian someday, so it is no surprise that she wanted me to go with her to her “job” where she provides dog sitting service for a neighbor’s dogs. She feeds, walks and cares for the dogs throughout the day. Then, it was off to the…
Day 300 of Photo Inspirations — That’s Gotta Hurt!!! My daughter,Staci, and I posed for this photo on Saturday — Staci’s caption for the photo “Hmm….that’s gotta hurt!” LOL! Well, that’s just a scarecrow so it’s not hurting, but what about us? That could be said of many of us today, whether we’re actually hurting…
CHAZOWN is a Hebrew word for vision, purpose, destiny — and it’s what God had in mind for us when He created us. Each one of us was placed on earth for a unique purpose that’s solely ours to fulfill. I was once a participant, but this weekend I was a veteran volunteer at the…
Yesterday was planned around Alexia — some girl time, her getting to choose where we would eat for breakfast and dinner — being pampered at the nail salon, her picking some great decor’ for her new bedroom, getting her “Fall Harvest” costume — it was a “by design” day that continues to celebrate her Rite…
I have a birds-eye view from my office window, of the house being built across the street from me (pictured here). It’s really quite amazing how – just a couple of weeks ago – there was just a vacant lot. It is gradually becoming a home that will soon have happy occupants inside. For the…
I have an Aunt who has been in a British Columbia hospital for over 15 months now — Crohn’s Disease — and, after all she’s gone through — so many surgeries, in so much pain, and many other complications — she remains joy-filled, thankful, and continues to give God praise to be alive. Her faithful…
