Life is like a Camera
At our Noble Family Reunion a couple of weeks ago, one of the cousins’ husband, Joe Randle, was our official photographer. He didn’t miss a minute. He was on purpose as he randomly took shots of the children, of family members laughing their hearts out, and many other precious moments. He is making photo albums…
God is in the Details
Details — those ominous, pit-filled, heart-wrenching times when we ask: “Why? Why? Why?” But hold on, friends, God is in the details!!! We are having our morning devotions when we start looking for answers to some almost overwhelming issues. A sales contract on Carl’s home seems to have a glitch. During the inspection, some plumbing…
Embrace the Set-Ups
I was a widow for thirteen years. During that “season”, a dear friend set me up with one of her clients. She thought he would be a “perfect match” for me. He was a widower of three months, a devout Christian who enjoyed traveling and missions work, and was ready for love again. Not particularly…
God’s 35,000 Feet View
It’s yesterday and it’s my birthday! And we’re on our way to I-Hop! It’s a redo of last year when my son asked where I’d like to go for my birthday. It was to I-Hop where a most charming waiter welcomed us and sang “Oh, Donna!” to me and the entire restaurant. To top it…
Connecting the Dots
I have learned to connect the dots on so many levels. God helps me with that. Daily. If I don’t have enough time to work out, rather than stress about it, I chill. No sense making an ado about nothing. Connect the dots of “chilling” on this day. Maybe my body needs a rest day.…
Romans 8:28 – The Good News of Bad News
We are known as an optimistic family. We reinforced optimism in our children with “You are champions. You can do anything if you set your heart and mind to it. “I can’t” not accepted in this house! With God all things are possible.” We purposely spoke: “God is good — all the time” regardless of…
Welcome June and Welcome the Little Things!
I knew it was Memorial Day but I checked online to see if Eyemart was open. YES – they are – 9 am to 7 pm. My glasses needed adjustments, so I headed out on the 10 minutes’ drive to get there. When I pulled into the parking lot, I could see the store was…
Take That and…..That!
Before watching the “Jesus Revolution” movie, we were entertained with the trailers of upcoming movies. After watching the trailer to the “Big George Foreman” true-story movie, I knew I wanted to see it! I bought tickets in advance and saw it on Thursday. The movie gives an up close and personal view of a broken,…
Changing Time….Literally
It’s time to SPRING FORWARD – setting our clocks FORWARD an hour! You’re welcome! And while we’re add it — let’s be okay with the change! Daylight Savings begins tomorrow morning at 2:00 a.m. Making changes and adapting to them is often easier said than done. This change is a no-whiner and no-brainer and pales…
Hello February! Hello Change!
I just took down January’s door decor and up goes February’s! I’m pulling my “female” card. Yes, I am a woman and I am subject to CHANGE daily. I can CHANGE my mind about this or that. I can CHANGE clothes – just because I want to. I can CHANGE occupations (and I did). I’m…
