The Faithful Forsythias
Our recent journey across Canadian provinces and America’s upper states seems to have awakened my senses to appreciate God’s handiwork in places, nature, people and things more than ever before. And, that appreciation has given me food for thought and a new, keen awareness of His creation for my next blog. On excursions, traveling via…
Surprise! It Snowed in Austin!
Well – maybe not in all of Austin. Well – maybe only where I live. Well – maybe it wasn’t real snow. It came from a machine to get our Everleigh residents in the Christmas spirit at our Christmas Party. Honestly, I had to take a closer look because it sure looked like the real…
The First Day of Spring
That was yesterday, March 20th……and Spring has sprung! How sweet it is! As spring begins, the length of our days increase dramatically in most regions. If you live in Austin, TX, you’d know the highs and lows of the most dramatic weather that accompanies each season. We get enamored by the changing of the leaves…
No MATTER What…..YOU Matter
We’ve had some crazy high winds in Austin lately. Those winds have been a deterrent to our pickleball balls landing where we want them to land on the court. Those intense winds also mean that beautiful Fall-colored leaves are having to give way to the pull. Maybe you see yourself as just another one of…
How Can I Say Thanks? Maybe by Showing it!
Yesterday was Ash Wednesday – the day that kick-starts the season of Lent and continues 40 days through to Holy Thursday just before Easter. Many of us who were hard hit by the ice and snowstorms over the last few days, look outward to our snow and ice-packed streets. Many are reeling from electric, water…
In a Moment – In the Twinkling of an Eye
That title is a scriptural reference that refers to the return of our Lord Jesus Christ “in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.” (1 Corinthians 15:52) I plan on being one of that number. That glorious day…
It’s Snowing Somewhere Today
I’m feeling the love. God’s love, that is, because yesterday morning, while driving to church, it started snowing. I was thankful to be here to see it in typically-never-gets-snow Austin. When we came out of church, there was a good “sprinkling” of snow on the ground and it was still falling. Brennan put on Blake…
Weathering the Storm
We’re stoked about the Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon being given by the downtown Scottish Rite Children’s Hospital which includes our North location volunteers. It’s going to be a great way to spend a Saturday with some other volunteers going with me. We are decked out in our 50s and 60s outfits because, after all, a prize…
God’s Recovery Team — Welcome to Oklahoma — Birthplace of the BlizzaFloodQuakeNado
It warmed up to melt ALL that big snow (about an inch) in Tulsa and tomorrow, the weather guy is forecasting 70 degrees. Since Oklahoma was our home for 38 years, I can vouch for the authenticity of this sign in the photo, as well as the distinct four seasons that could happen in a…
Surprise! It Snowed Last Night!
I’m feelin’ the love. God’s love, that is, because yesterday morning, here in Tulsa, there was a “sprinkling” of snow everywhere. The morning welcomed me with such tenderness and peace. I just had to quickly grab a couple of photos. Though I find that peace here everytime I visit her, Mom still has her sweet…
