Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread
This blog today was inspired after a Bible trivia game Tuesday night. There are over eighty groups to get involved with in the community where I live. It’s great If you’re a social butterfly because there are plenty of opportunities to hobnob and interact with others. I’ve picked and chosen those I most enjoy of…
What’s Your Name
This is Thursday morning and I’m at my Radiology desk at Children’s Hospital where I weekly serve as a volunteer. Besides patients and their families, many medical, housekeeping and admin personnel pass my desk. I typically greet everyone with a cheery “Good Morning! How are you?” But, this day I sense that’s not enough. These…
Write the Vision and Make it Plain
When my daughter was single, she made quite the list (100 items to be exact) of all the qualities she was hoping for in a future husband. She wrote out her vision and she made it VERY plain. When Larry came along, initially, he was about 95 out of the 100. But, the longer they…
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…
