I Promise
“Promise me…” Those two little words carried big meaning, even as a child. My parents promised we’d go to Six Flags Over Texas — and oh, they delivered! Best day EVER. Sticky fingers, laughter, and the kind of joy only a promise kept can bring. As we grew, promises got a little more serious.We crossed…
God Makes Masterpieces
God doesn’t do “average.” Just take a look at His portfolio: the rainbow stretching across the sky, the puffy white clouds drifting lazily on a summer day, the majestic trees swaying here in Austin’s green country. And then, take a look at His finest creation — you. Now, if that makes you squirm because you’re…
Seen Any Rainbows Lately?
Yesterday I blogged about clouds. Today, it’s rainbows. This first rainbow was just near my residence in Austin. A mere short-lived rainshower brought that one.
