Water for our Thirsty Souls
A few years ago, in Cabo San Lucas, Bryson, my youngest grandson, and I were sitting on the deck overlooking the Sea of Cortez. We were talking about a recent and devastating tsunami. He asks me: “What is it that you can’t live without, but it can also kill you?”My “thinker” kicked in and I…
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…
A Big Drink of Water
At any given time, you’ll see me with my “must-have” 30 oz. Yeti mug filled with water. After a couple of physical issues and how they could have been averted by drinking more water, I know the benefits of drinking water. Nutritionists say we should drink half our body weight in ounces every day. So,…
Got Desert? Green Pastures Await!
Last week we played as much outdoors pickleball as we could because the weather folks said we would have torrential rains all this week! Not! At least in the daytime, though we had some good downpours during the night. It’s difficult to think of desert when an abundance of rain just blessed our dry, thirsty…
How Deep is Your Well?
I sure like it when I can just keep rollin’ on! This blog was inspired by yesterday’s blog where I spoke of our mission fields being right where we are at any given moment. It’s the one-foot square of humble, sacred earth beneath our feet. In other words, where we are is our mission field.…
Are You Flourishing?
Thoughts of our huge garden in Oklahoma was my blog inspiration for this day. We always had great anticipation for a bumper crop. Then reality set in. Cultivating the soil, which can be rocky, dry and, if by hand, can be a wearisome task. Then it was sowing the seeds, keeping a watch out for…
Things are Looking Up with Optimism and Hope
We are known as an optimistic family. We reinforced optimism in our children with “You are champions. You can do anything if you set your heart and mind to it. With God all things are possible.” We purposely speak “God is good — all the time” regardless of sunshine or rain, joy or sorrow, win…
Got Thirst? Get Quenched!
God wired us for thirst b y giving us a “low-fluid indicator”. If our fluid level is low, the signals will flare — dry mouth, achy head, weak knees, unclear thinking, even fainting. Just before my Holy Lands trip, I was having some really bad neck and back issues, so I went to the chiropractor…
Springs of Living Water
Day 89 of Photo Inspirations — Springs of Living Water Each year I MUST have my annual family photo taken. This one was at the BOK Bear Plaza fountain. To my grandchildren’s delight, the fountain wasn’t on, so they could climb all over the bears. It made for such a great family adventure. I passed…
