Welcome to my SANCTUARY!

Years ago, a dear friend gave me this sign to remind me that I could live a life of peace if I simply took myself there. SANCTUARY is a place of refuge or safety, haven, shelter, hideaway, port in a storm. Indeed, my friend knew that I needed to be reminded of the SANCTUARY we…

God’s Hands of Protection

Fight the good fight God's Hands of Protection

My grandson, 22-year-old Payton, came down to Austin from Dallas to be part of the 16th birthday celebration for Bryson. Bonus was he stayed with me and got my Christmas decorations in for me. Of course that puts me into “protective mode”. Meaning, when he departed yesterday morning, I prayed God’s hands of protection over…

Peace, Goodness and Mercy in the Storm

I love to share about God’s peace, goodness and mercy that follows us all the days of our lives (Psalm 23:6) but then comes along another storm that rocks and reels our world. Hurricane Ida came in with a vengeance. I was thankful to see my Louisiana friends mark themselves as safe on Facebook. But…

Come Out, Come Out, Wherever You Are

Hide and Seek

I sent that message to my best friend yesterday. She has a busy life and so do I, but we do our best to stay connected. I forgot they were away in a remote location without cell, so no wonder I was saying “Come out, come out, wherever you are!” Those words are actually from…

Peace in the Storm

Peace Storm

I was reviewing my daily FB “memories” yesterday and I ran across this post from eight years ago: “Sitting in my hall bathroom — no windows or outside walls, following the warnings of the newscasters — surrounded by blankets and pillows — waiting out the tornado warnings and thanking God that I’m sheltered in His…

When We’re Afraid to Trust Him

Uncategorized

You may have witnessed our “family” mishap a few weeks ago. Our “stud muffin” Buddy (The Wallace Family’s 75-pound Australian Shepherd) had a precious, equally beautiful, female Australian Shepherd come from Austin for a lovefest. In case you’re not following my delicate way of putting it, Moana’s master brought her to start a family of…

Goodness and Mercy in the Storm

Uncategorized

Goodness and Mercy in the Storm I love to share about God’s goodness and mercy that follows us all the days of our lives (Psalm 23:6) but then comes along another storm or battle that rocks and reels our world again. So many people in the Florida Panhandle are facing “life AFTER the devastation from…

Taking Safety Measures Against the Enemy

Uncategorized

Yesterday afternoon, I and other greeters at my church attended a Mandatory Greeter Safety Environment Training. I wasn’t sure what that meant until I heard the explanation by the City of Dallas’ Police Department’s Commander of Strategic Forces, who is a member of our church and is the Coordinator of our church’s Safety Ministry. I…

Welcome to my SANCTUARY!

Uncategorized

While having my morning devotion time, I looked at the sign on my fireplace hearth, SANCTUARY, that I see every day. But yesterday it resonated with me more than ever. I looked at the back of it to see when it was that my friend gave it to me. It is dated October 10, 2010.…
