I Just Want a Gold Star
I was in a bit of a funk yesterday. Even though I’ve succeeded at getting quite a few household things done, as well as served in many ways during this time of quarantine, and posted my daily blog, still I’m not satisfied. As the doors for restaurants, businesses, and even my church are starting to…
Enough is Enough
EEver said those words? We’ve prayed for changes to the point of exhaustion, but it seems our prayers are only hitting the ceiling. We feel hopeless and disappointed. The sheer monotony of it all is tiring! Maybe your “enough” is one more day of isolation or home-schooling or face-mask wearing. I noticed that the quarantine…
What is YOUR Motivation for Change?
The Great Escape — so, I’ve been in Austin with my family since last week. Talk about change – from my quiet, non-eventful life, to nearly non-stop activity with this crew. My quiet peace zone at home has certainly been interrupted, which is fine with me. My second to the oldest grandson, Bear, asked for…
Taking “Training Up a Child” to a Whole New Level
During this unexpected schooling-at-home, I have received so much entertainment from many of my friends. I’ve watched some hilarious antics, as well as creative YouTube videos of moms becoming “at-home-school” principals.

We’ve been given many opportunities to grow spiritually and for that we’ll forever be grateful. I sincerely believe that God is in Master-control of everything! I am completely…
Being a Soul Searcher
I’ve been doing some soul-searching – especially about my attitude during this quarantine. Honestly, not too much in my life changed. Yes, I’ve missed my Austin and Tulsa family and I was sad about the retreat that was cancelled that we had been working on for months, but I had no special occasions or vacations…
Confidence has its Rewards
According to my journal, today is the 37th day of quarantine. How time flies when we’re having so much fun! Even though there are many still in “crisis” mode because of the effects of the virus on their bodies, so many in financial straits, and others exhausted as front-liners, the end is actually in sight!…
Thanks for the Memories, Kenny
So what’s a girl to do on a day when she hears that a dear friend has passed away – especially when she’s in quarantine because of the C-virus? And, when she gets many text messages from friends and family who offer her condolences. She remembers. And, she recalls the love she shared with her…
