It’s Worth the Investment But God Gets the Credit!
Happy Birthday to my Staci Wallace! This is a big one – 55! I checked it out. At 55, you’re in what experts call “middle adulthood” – the era between 40 and 65, which often marks some of life’s biggest achievements and shifts. Yes-sir-ee! That has been the case for YOU! For you, turning 55…
The Blessing of Two
There’s something divine about the number two. Just ask Noah, who mastered the art of the double as he herded every creature two by two onto that ark. And then, there’s Solomon who wisely penned, “Two are better than one” (Ecclesiastes 4:9). God must have known how much my life needed a double portion of…
A Tribute to Mothers, Nurturers, Mentors, and Champions of Love
On this special day, I want to extend a heartfelt Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible women who embody the spirit of nurturing and love. Whether you’re a mother by birth, adoption, or simply by the overflow of your heart, your impact is immeasurable, and your love knows no bounds. As we celebrate Mother’s…
My Girl
She is an anomaly. Anomaly means something that deviates from what is standard, normal, or expected. She isn’t any of those nouns or adverbs! Whatever conundrum she faces – she figures out a way to jump over it or crawl under it, go through it or embrace it. God broke the mold when He made…
Enjoying Billowy Cloud Cover
Our trip to East Texas and Epiphany Ranch didn’t disappoint! We took advantage of the wonderful, somewhat cooler temperatures. We went to see my sweet cousin, Mary Ellen Snow, who moved to Tyler, TX from Frisco, TX. We were neighbors in Frisco, buds in Tulsa and Dallas before that. It looks like the cousins still…
The Name Game
How are you at remembering names? I’ll reveal my “issue”. Remembering names hasn’t been one of my positive assets. My granddaughter was with me at an event. I asked her to “work with me on introductions”. I said, “If I remember their name, I’ll simply say their name and introduce you, but if I don’t,…
WITH GOD — Nothing is impossible
We can count on it! I apologize right up front for this being an almost redundant blog each year on this day. But, each year, I think about what the Lord did, and I can’t help but celebrate. This story is made possible…..only, WITH GOD. Today is the 26th anniversary of my children – Larry…
Oh Happy Day!
Lest this blog sounds braggadocios, I’m using a scripture to explain: “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.” ( 1 Corinthians 1:31) Please indulge me as I boast on God’s faithfulness, His goodness, and His mercy to me. After Elizabeth declared “Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of your…
Easter and our Hopes For Tomorrow
I don’t know what tomorrow holds, but I do know WHO knows and as long as I maintain my “God perspective” on everything this life doles out, I know I will make it through what may look like a tragedy or triumph. How do I know that? It was because of what happened on Sunday!…
A Life of Purpose – On Purpose
What a grand scheme God had when He sent His only begotten Son to this earth with the ultimate purpose of dying on a cross for you and me…..so that we could spend eternity with the WHOLE FAMILY of God! Now, that’s what I call a “Purpose-Driven-Life”. The book, “The Purpose Driven Life”, written by…
