Fainting Goats and Fainting Hearts
Have you ever seen a fainting goat? I have and it alarmed me! But ten seconds later, he was up and at ‘em — cool, calm and collected. One moment, they’re trotting along, minding their business, and the next — BAM! — they stiffen up and topple over like bowling pins. It’s both comical and…
You Just Stand
I wanted to be a nurse, so at age 14, I was a volunteer Candy Striper at a Dallas hospital. The unique title went with the candy cane, red & white-striped pinafores that we wore. I took flowers and mail to patients, refilled their water jugs, and other incidental duties. Those nursing plans were dashed…
STAND
Dear friends of mine recently moved to Austin and my community. We share a “buddy” system when it comes to our faith and determination. We need those kinds of relationships with those who believe God and His Word – especially during challenging times. My friends have had some health issues but have stayed the course…
My Fear Doesn’t Stand a Chance When I Stand in Your Love
Early this morning, I was hearing (in my head) Josh Baldwin’s song: “Stand in Your Love”. I thought about the lyrics when I read this friend’s post so I commented: “I know why I was thinking about this song this morning before I read your post. Sweet girl! You are such a valiant warrior and…
Oh, Yes, My Dear – You ARE a Star!
At my weekly Bible study group, we were discussing the famous words: “Abram believed the LORD, and He credited it to him as righteousness.” (Genesis 15:6) And then Paul the Apostle added “So those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.” (Galatians 3:6,9) Those words pack a punch. Abraham…
I’d Rather Be Remembered for Standing Out Than Forgotten for Blending In
Yesterday morning I saw a Harley Davidson billboard that said, “Why fit in when you can stand out?” — of course meaning that we would stand out if we drove a Harley. Indeed, that would definitely cause me to STAND-OUT! LOL! And that prompted me to post about the great STAND message I heard Sunday…
God Has a Plan — STAND!
At age 14, I was a volunteer Candy Striper at a Dallas hospital. The unique title went with the candy cane, red & white-striped pinafores that we wore. In those days, I aspired to become a nurse, so I took flowers and mail to patients, refilled their water jugs, and other incidental duties. But, those…
Nurse Donna On Duty 24/7
At age 14, I was a Candy Striper at a hospital in Dallas. The unique job title represented the candy cane look of the red and white-striped pinafores we wore. Back in those days, I aspired to one day being a nurse, so, like other teenage girls, we volunteered to assist the nurses at the…
