Living in Harmony Like our Animal Friends

I seem to get good blog material when I’m here in Austin as the animal caregiver. These critters — the chickens and ducks in their pen and coop, and the donkeys and goats in their barn and field areas live together in harmony – but they do have their cantankerous moments. The goats with horns…

Excuse Me! Could I Have Your Undivided Attention, Please?

Uncategorized

This photo may look familiar. It should because I was in this very spot two years ago. I’m back in Tulsa for a few days that lead up to my mother-in-law’s 96th birthday on Wednesday. After my home sold two years ago, I stayed at a dear friend’s home for another six weeks because I…

Yesterday morning at church, a man from my neighborhood and I visited a few minutes and our conversation led to his two sons who have made serving in the Air Force a career. One was just promoted to Colonel. He quickly pulled up a photo of his sons and two of his grandsons, who all…

Are You a NO Respecter?

Uncategorized

As I sat down for my morning devotions yesterday, I read these words of St. Peter from Acts 10:34 “I perceive that God is NO RESPECTER of persons”. RESPECTER: a person whose attitude and behavior is influenced by consideration of another’s rank, power, ethnicity, religion, culture, social class, wealth, etc. A “No RESPECTER” is someone…

What Makes a Champion?

Uncategorized

I guess it was my 13-year old grandson’s love for baseball, that drew me into watching the Little League World Series on TV a few weeks ago. The team from Lufkin, TX won the National games and went on to the World Series. All teams, at that level, were great, but I was particularly impressed…

Forget the diamonds. A backpack is what I want! I read a friend’s FB post a few days ago, and I, along with many others, were so touched by this Mom’s love story. It is a love story that her sweet little 6-year old daughter is experiencing. The Mom started her post with….”When a man…
