The Steps of a Good Man Are Ordered by the Lord
I send an early morning text message to my children every day. Yesterday, I texted my son: “’The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and He delights in his way.” Psalm 37:23. I went on to say: “I love this scripture because it describes you and how God delights in the…
What Would the Walls of Your Home Say About You?
I sit here at my dear friends’ kitchen counter in the wee hours of the morning working on my post for this day. There are two little kitchen lamps dimly shining so mostly darkness surrounds me. Then I look across to the other side of the kitchen and there is the lighted manger scene glowing…
I’ve Hidden His Word in my Heart
I’m so grateful for my upbringing in church because that’s where I received the “solid rock” foundation for my life. My parents were wise in that “church” was our “go to” place for friendships, worshiping God, hearing His Word, AND in my opinion – the best place EVER to hang out with my girlfriends and…
Back to God’s Creation & Baseball
So I’m back to living out loud with my family, but that sure doesn’t hinder me from keeping my eyes wide open for God moments. I took Brennan to his baseball practice at 6:30 pm. This photo of the western skies doesn’t do it justice. They were the reddest red, exploding with “the beauty and…
Tis’ So Sweet To Trust in Jesus
How sweet it’s been to spend the week with my precious mother-in-law. This trip to Tulsa gave us the opportunity to share and visit about so many things. I was able to query her about her early years of love and marriage and life — something I should have asked about long ago. FYI —…
Better to be Patient than Powerful
Patience is what we should pray for, but when we do…..it seems we encounter even more reasons to pray “Lord, give me patience, but PLEASE give it to me NOW!!!” As I type this post I’m asking God to forgive me for my IMPATIENCE. I loved my neat and tidy world here in Tulsa. Beautiful…

Can’t Sleep? Talk to Me. — God
On my FB message yesterday, a couple of people commented that it was just the words they needed. My response? “Me, too! I typically post with what I need the most!” In all seriousness, my daily posts are the words I’m sending out to you AND me! A friend came over yesterday. She was discouraged…
Adventures Await Outside the Port
When you were a kid, did you play the “I Dare You” game? I did. I remember when friends would “dare me” to jump into the deep end of the pool or jump off the high diving board. They were trying to force me to do something that I was afraid to do, but I…
What Do You Think of When You Hear a Name?
I love looking up the meaning of people’s names. In fact, as a gift to a group of women not long ago, I gave them each a card that included their name, the character quality of their name and a scripture verse that goes with their name, like those pictured here. In fact, I love…
