Write the Vision – Play the Movie
A few weeks ago, I spoke to my bonus granddaughter, Addie, about “playing the movie”. She is determined to be a nurse practitioner. This is her high school senior year and she is already casting vision about her future. “Playing the movie” is the practice of seeing the end before making decisions. It’s like “think…
In This Very Room
Last Monday, January 8th, in this very room pictured here, fifty members of our team that is made up of paid and volunteer staff enjoyed our Team Appreciation Luncheon at Maggiano’s Restaurant in Austin. OUR TEAM is comprised of devoted, relentless, and selfless individuals who believe it is “more blessed to give than receive”. However,…
Being Christian-ish
I’ve never watched the show, but I understand “Black-ish” has to do with children who are not fully one race or another and they have cultural issues about their identity. The name of that show made me wonder if we may be “Christian-ish” — not fully all in as Christians and so we have issues…

You’re the ones who continue to post photos and videos of your child or children receiving awards for their intellectual achievements and athletic abilities (even though some of you admitted that your child’s team never won a game – they still received an award). You are the ones standing…
What Are You Passionate About?
Day 34 of Photo Inspirations — What are YOU passionate about? This is Super Bowl Sunday and if you’re not a Seahawks or Patriots fan, you may not be inclined to feel “passionate” about today’s game. You probably don’t care one way or the other who wins. But if you are one of those teams’…
Goodness & Mercy Following & Favor Chasing
Really? God’s goodness and mercy are following us? His FAVOR is chasing us? Isn’t that just like our Heavenly Father — pursuing us and chasing us with His desire to bless us and do good things for us? It’s not just enough to be followed by His goodness and mercy. No, He is relentless in…
