Intimacy — Behind the Scenes
For years, social media has been the space where I deposit my musings aka blogs. I have thoroughly enjoyed sharing the Lord’s faithfulness through every season – especially the season that got this blog party started. It was a season that could have left me feeling alone, forgotten, disappointed, heart-broken and in despair. Instead, it…
The Jesus Revolution
I saw the “Jesus Revolution” movie on Sunday. I couldn’t help myself – after all, I had been seeing many of my Catholic and evangelical friends posting on social media saying it is a must-see! I was glad I bowed to peer-pressure. Kelsey Grammar played his “pastor” role beautifully. BTW, the movie, just premiered 10…
A Birth Announcement Beyond Compare
The birth announcement fad of “Gender Reveal” has seemed to take over social media. Lots of fun ways to announce a sweet baby girl or boy who will soon make their debut. Don’t you love it when a friend or family member shares the good news “We are expecting!” in a cute photo long before…
Shut the Front Door
That’s what my Mom said when I left the front door open! Her exact words were: “Shut the front door, Barnio!” I don’t know, to this day, who Barnio was, but I do know she meant business. Not only did it mean to really shut the front door, the main entrance of the house, but…
Our Mission is Wherever We Are
All my life, I have been encouraged to love God and share His good news. It started, early on, when I saw the flannel board images of Bible characters while my Sunday School teacher shared the Gospel story. I was also taught little songs that emphasized the love God has for me. “Jesus loves me…
What if We Flipped the Worry Script?
My friends and I were discussing the upcoming Christmas season and how it may be advisable to do some early Christmas shopping. We know from personal experience what empty shelves of toilet paper and paper towels were like when the pandemic began in 2020! So, do we take that run-for-your-life, hustle and bustle mindset on…
I’ve Learned to Pivot
One of the sweet experiences my husband and I had during his final months before moving on up to heaven, was seeing our oldest grandson at the Marine Military Academy in Harlingen, TX. He was so handsome in his military fatigues and oh, the pride and joy we felt that our grandson was about to…
Making the Star of the Show Famous
This day AFTER Christmas, I’m treasuring sweet times with family and friends — some close enough to hug and embrace, and others via social media. Recently, a dear friend texted me: “We cancelled our FB last week. Gonna’ miss your blogs. FB has gotten way out of hand with too much disrespect for Christianity.” I…
Creators! Let’s Create!
I went to church with my grandsons on Sunday. This was the first time the church was fully opened since the pandemic began. Opened, with the exception of limited seating that was maxed out and distanced. What amused me the most was when we walked up to the front doors, tables were set up outside…
When All is Said and Done – It’s Still a Miracle!
On Sunday, my son called to check in on me. “What are you doing today, Mom?” “I’m going to church with Larry and Staci and then we’re going for my birthday lunch at Hutchins BBQ (my pick)! They’ll be out of town this week on my birthday.” Then his audacious reply: “Mom, how is it…
